Tho manufacture Of carborundum IL
one Of tho most unique of recently es-
tablished industries, and the plant at
Niagara is one Of extreme interest IN
connection with the amazing power
now generated at that locality. As is
now well known, carborHnaan Is a
compound Of carbon and silicon. in ap-
pearance presenting a surface Of high
luster. iridescent with many coloTs, the
valuable property Of the substance con-
sisting in its extreme hardness, in
which respect it stands next TO the dia-
mond, and consequently is coming into
extensive use as polishing and abra-
sivo agent. In the process Of manufac-
ture, quartz sand, coke, sawdust and
salt are intimately mixed. This material
is placed in the furnace around . large
cylinder Of coke and the entire nass
covered up and finally walled in with
loose framework OF bricks At the ends
of this furnace are the poles or cleo
trodes Of a powerful electric Circuit, and
when the current is turned on an intense
heat IS produced, which results in q
chemical combination Of the carbon Of
the coke and sawdust and the silicon Of
the sand. The process is continued for
81 hours, and then, after cooling, the
carborundum is extracted, a series of
operations finally preparing it for the
market-New York Sun.

II read ia my old homo paper yester-

story about him?
''Bi1 once sat on jury in one Of my
first cases II was an assault and bat
te-v case. The trouble came up over the
attempt to bGild a fence across high
way. There were two defendants and
four prosecuting witnesses. The trial
was held at the home of the justice Of
the peaoe, a clapboard little hoGse right
out in a eornfield. We couldn't find II
men in the township, so we agreed to a
jury of six. The Justices wife stood in
the doorway during the trial and die
tated ali the rulings
''They didn't make any case against
us-my partner and | appeared for the
defznse-but we knew the jurymen
wanted their fees, and they wouldn't
get any if the defendants won. So we
were not very hopeful.
''The six jurymen went out into the
cOrnfield 10 Deliberate. They were gone
about two hours and then brought in
verdict of guilty and fined each of the
defendants s. and costs. The jury was
about TO be discharged when my partner
jumped up and said 10 one Of the jury
men: Say, who are you? l don't re-
member seeing you before Then the
foreman spoke up and said: That's all
right. Bill Traynor couldn't wait. He
went of home. and we got Joe here to
take his place.
That's a fact. Bill had put in
substitute on the jury after they got out
in the cornheld. The justice said it was
all right anyway, SO long as there was
a majority of the jury present. but l
got up and threatened to sue him on his
bond, so he got scared and set aside the
verdict and discharged cur clients.
