Among those named In tho price lists

aluminium, iridium and platinum, with
perhaps one or two others occasionally;
while by far the greater proportion Of
these come from Europe. Germany Is
the place whore most OF those metals

quoted, gallium is still the most ex-
pensive metal, and perhaps rightly so,

frequent II sparse occurrence in this
country; but thus far no effort appears
to have been made toward their extrac-
tion on q commercial scale, and it is
common practice to send the crude
mass to England for smelling, The
production of potassium and sodium is
quite possible on this side of the At.

Castner's experimental work, nothing
has been done. Niobium or column
blum (as American chemists prefer to
to call it), molybdenum, vanadium and
glucinum or beryllium are perhaps
more common in the United States

How to Make Ice at Home.

In view of the threatened ice famine
the following recipe for homemade
lee may be found OF use: Take n cylin-
drical vessel and pour 81 ounces of
commercial sulphuric acid and Il
ounces OF water into it, and then add
one ounce of powdered sulphate of
soda. In the center OF this mixture
place a smaller vessel containing the
water to be frozen; then cover the ves-
sci. and, if possible, revolve the whole
with gentle motion. In few min
utes the water in the small vessel will
be converted into ice. The same mix
ture can be used second or third
time for making block OF ice. The
operation should, If possible be per-
formed in cool place-in cellar. for
example. e.-Colliery Engineer.
