Wolfram, or tungsten, belongs to a
group of rare metals, and till compar-
atively recent time was known only to
the chemist, and its value was only in
the laboratory. With the invention of
100-ton guns the demand for tungsten
soon made that prev )usIy obscure
metal well known throughout the min
ing world. 1t was soon found that the
steel tube lining the bore of these enor-
nous gnns could not resist the shock
entailed by discharging many shots
without becoming fractured, when, of
course, an expensive piece of ordinances
became useless.
Experiment proved that the addition
of small quantity of tungsten to the
fine steel employed in gun-mal1ing rem
dered the latter metal wonderfully elias
tic, so that the steel tube will expand
under the tension of firing and contract
again to its normal size great many
times before the quality of the metal is
in any way impaired. The German
gun factories consequently absorb most
of the tungsten found in the world, and
from being mere curiosity seen only
in the laboratory of the chemist, this
rare metal has acquired considerable
value.
Wolfram Enormously called tung-
state of iron in the cablegram) gener-
ally occurs in combination with iron in
Europe, but it is also found in scheelite,
or tungstate of lime. 1t is in the latter
form that it occurs in Otage. The
metal, itself, is of white color, ex-
tremely brittle and heavy, the specific
gravity being 1911, that of gold being
1873 1t will thus be seen that tungsten
is very heavy metal, being only very
slightly lighter than gold.-New Zea-

the one where the major was being
worked. Al was II little shy, and in-
sisted on the business in hand being
attended to at once; he did not care to
hear yarns, or partabc of anything to
drink. A package was produced by the
| sharpers, said to contain five thousand

AL, as he reached out to take the pack

pulled the package away and the other
turned out the gas, leaving the room in
darkness. Both fellows caught hold of
AL, and with the dexterity of experts,
went through his pockets before he
really knew what was being done.

out of the room, locking the door after
them.

his shoulder against it and it flew off
the hinges. The major was alarmed
at being unceremoniously deserted by

light entered.
Here, here, what are you men do
ing?" called one of them. stop this
row and pay for this damage, on I'll
have you both locked up"
AL and the major untangled them
selves to explain and ask protection of
the newcomers, but as they looked at
each other, bruised. battered and bloody
as they were, each recognized the
other. Words are not equal to telling
the astonishment of the major and Al.
The major was the first to speak.

ing out home, and here in New York

headed reprobatc.''
The two glared at each other and
were about to renew hostilities, when
the man with the lamp intcrfered.
Here, you fellows quit or you'll get
into trouble. Jist drop this chin and
give me twenty-five dollars for the
damage you've done or I'll hand you
over to the police
That cooled them down somewhat,
and, muttering vengeance upon each
other, Al paid the twenty-five dollars
and they snealSed away. Each was
firmly convinced that the other was in
league with the city gang
They took the same train to Phila-
delphia for home, and as the major
thought the affair over he began to
fear the exposure that he knew Al
would make, and he began to suspect
that Al might be victim as well as
himself, so he went to AL. 1t was some
time before Al would listen to him, but
they finally compared notes and con-
fessed to each other and vowed Sc
| crecy.
Al and the major had to do consider
able lying to account for the failure of
their missions to the city and their gem
orally banged up appearance. And the
majors wife and daughter could not
account for the extremely cordial feel
ing that suddenly sprang up between
their respective husbands. Al pre-
sented the major with couple of very
fine sheep and the major sent up to
AIS farm nice COW. Both are con-
tented to amass wealth in Legitimate

THE PARSONS DAUGHTER.
OHIO


Twas Sunday morn, and loud and clear
Tho bolls were sweetly blending
And worshipers from far and near
Their way to church were vending.
With eager haste they filled the pews
To hear the famed exhorter,
But with the singers in the choir
Thore sat the parsons daughter
Her voice gave out its sweetest tones,
She led the anthem finely
And captivated all who heard,
For oh she sang divinely
The Old familiar hymns rang out
Like bugle calls, far reaching,
And kept the sinners wide awake
Who dozed all through the preaching.
But little thought she, as she sang
With so much taste and feeling,
The while her lovely eyes were raised
ncvoutly toward the ceiling
All, little thought the maiden then,
What havoc she was making;
Or that heart among the pews
For love OF her was breaking.
The parson preached of love, forsooth,
on sunday after Sunday,
Which made the folks more neighborly
And soCiable on Monday;
NCt all the week the modest youth
In fear OF the eXhOrter,
Had not the courage to declare
How much he loved his daughter.
They met at Suuday.school and church,
In clear and cloudy weather
Ana ut The meetings through the week
We're often seen together;
N'g- she was distant, 1 suppose,
hud he no word had spoken,
Ana how 10 came about, who knows2
BGt soon the ice was broken.
Then mcrrily the church bells rang
Tho careless oues to capture;
And she more beautifully sang,
Her soul alive with rapture;
And he no longer from the pew
Was at his idol gazing,
But sat beside her In the choir;
Ills boldnesS was amgzingl
And soon the weddingbells will ring
Their merry. maduening jingle:
'l'l take wife to bless my life,
Let those who will stay single!"
And no who long had loved the maid,
Nor courage had to court hor,
VIII at the altar proudly stand
Beside the parsons daughter
