Nickel Steel Ore.

A Port Arthur gentleman while lin
Duluth recently spoke very enthus-
>iastically of the Gunflint lake iron
lands, as yet undeveloped. He says
there is more mineral wealth in that
section than is generally known and
continues: Il was talking recently
with man who is heavily interested
in property near Guntiint lake and
what he had to say impressed me very
much He said that a few capitalists
were quietly buying lands in thatyic-
unity and that very large tracts had
already been secured. One man alone
has options on thousands of acres and
he thinks he has Il fortune, for he has
mineral lands which will produce i'm
'mense quantities of nickel steel ore.
If that is the case he has all that he
thinks he needs for he also claims
much BeSsemer ore in addition.
Nickel steel at present is made from a
combination of ores and if the article
up at Gunfint has been properly
mixed by nature, the man who owns
it will have a bonanza OF the most as
tonishing proportions for it will be
worth 800 or $500 ton. l understand
however that the nickel ore contains
some ingredient which must be elm
mated before it can be operated and
this is what isnbothering at present.
| am credibly informed that some of
the best men in the country are at
this time working on the problem OF
successfully eliminating this unde-
sirable substance from the ore. If
that can be accomplished, and it is
expected it can, there will be no ques-
tion of the Importance of the nickel
steel ores in the Gun1iint country"

STAR NEwsPAPER:-Under the
heading of ''Roentgen's Discovery"
the leading journal has the fol.
lowing graphic and elucidative in
formation. "The most marked
difference between the two (rays)
is the fact that the Roentgen rays
are not DETECTED by magnet, in.
dicating a very essential difference,
while their range and penetrative
power are incomparably greater.
Exactly what kind OF force has
thus been discovered no one at
present has been able to decide.
We only know them as rays. I"
(Sic.)
The construction Of this para
graph is, perhaps, as peculiar as
the declaration made therein is re-
markable, and l will be glad if you
will afford me space for few words
thereon.
Some time since, at social gath
ering in this city, an address was
delivered in which the expression
electric force" was repeated, If l
remember correctly, eight or ten
times. We are now told of an
other force" but what kind of
force" it is mo one at present is
able to decide" What, may l ask,
are these statements intended to
convey? What does the writer
mean by force?
"The measure of force is the
product of the mass of the body
moved into the acceleration which
the force produces in it."-( Phys
ical Science, TAFT, p. 352.)
A little thought will enable most
persons to understand how inaccu-
rate the use of the word force"
when used i'll connection with the
so-called X rays. Heat, light,
electricity are not forces, but forms
of energy, and though not material,
have, like matter, objective exist
ence.
Force is the rate at which an
agent does work per unit Of
length" Force 'is not to be re-
garded as thing any more than
the bank rate of interest is to be
looked upon as sum of money!
(Tait on Force, =. 357.)
Defniteness, accuracy and fair
play are always of preeminent i'm
portance, although the Adoertiser
does not appear to so understand
matters. even as touching affairs

Baltimore, in the early days of the
present great parties, was the great
political convention city. 1t had the
convention that nominated Van Buren,
and Johnson, and the next four that
succeeded in the democratic party, that
of 1910, when Van Buren, was nominat-
ed the second time, and without a vice.
president; that of 1874, which named
Polk and Dallas; 1S4S, which named
Lewis Cass and Butler, and 1852, which
named Pierce and King. Those con-
ventions were easily accommodated in
ordinary sized halls, for the crowds that
attended them were as nothing COM
Jared to the throngs that flow into the
convention cities nowadays.
First Western Convention.
The democratic convention of 1856,
which nominated Buchanan and Breck-
inridge, was held in Cincinnati, Ohio.

first met at Charleston, s. c., but adj
jourred without accomplishing much.
to Baltimore, where Douglas and John
son were placed in the field, against
Lincoln and Hs.mlin, who were named
in the Chicago wigwam. The republic
cans moved their next convention to
Baltimore, where Lincoln was renomi-
mated, and johnson succeeded Hamlin
in the second place on the ticket. That
year the democrats held their first con-
vention In Chicago, and nominated Nc
Clellan and Pendleton.
The Yale expositor., 1896-07-03

1900 people, and the three Baltimore
conventions of the same year were held,
one the Douglas) in theater, the Bell
Everett in a church and the Breckin-
ridge in hall with a capacity of not
more than $4,000. But halls of that size
will not answer now, for there are al
most 1000 delegates and representa-
tives of the press who have business
to transact in the convention building,
to say nothing of the throngs of outsid-
ers who think it their duty to see per-
sonally to the naming Of the presiden-
tial candidates and the framing of the
platform principles upon which they
shall stand. The rule Is that there are
two convention delegates to each cleo
toral vote, so that there are twice as
many as the membership of both houses
of congress. Besides these there are
the territorial delegates, and behind
each delegate is an alternate. Many
of these alternates attend the conven-
lions whether their principals do or not,
and must be provided with places.
Another calculation in figuring on the
seating capacity, and ivy far the most
important, too, is that there will be
about ten spectators to each delegate.
The Minneapolis hall accommodated
Telegraph Center Necessary Now.
the delegates and the press, but the city
itself could not accommodate the crowd.
Neither was it large enough telegraph
center to handle the millions of words
of matter that was written for the great
papers of other cities. The old eXposi-
ton on the lake front, Chicago, where
Cleveland was nominated in 1884, is
said to have been particularly well
suited to that use in regard to size, ar
rangement and all other considerations.
The Auditorium, which held the con-
vention that nominated Harrison and
Morton, was in great favor with GER
tain element for the democratic conven-
ton. The Auditorium will hold as
many people as some of the COMMITTEE
men think have any right to attend the
convention, and presents as well all
necessary facilities for conducting bust
ness in a proper way. The Cincinnati
halls, Smith e. Nixon's and the exposi-
ton, were sufficient to accommodate the
crowds that assembled at conventions
in the days when conventions were held
there. New York has had but one ma
tional convention of either of the great
political parties, the democrats of 1868.
which nominated Seymour and Blair,
and that was held in Tammsay hall.
Even then an effort was made to stam-
pede the convention for Pendleton, of
Ohio, and both parties have been wary
of New York ever since.
The Yale expositor., 1896-07-03
In Bad Taste.

An exquisitely wrought glass dish
was seen not long ago, part of whose
design was the semblance of lace
handkerchief thrown across one cor
ner. The work was so marvellous that
one regretted its appearance where It
was only in bad taste. We should not
have required an English lecturer to
inform lis that nothing should pretend
to be on our table which would not
really be there. We wouldn't eat off a
handkerchief, and we don't want to
seem to do so.

Press Earring Better.
AS the railroads of the country have
developed, hotel accommodations in
creased, and newspaper telegraphing
multiplied, big convention halls have
not only become the fashion, but almost
a necessity. The Lincoln wigwam was
the first convention hall that gave
liberal space to the press and the tele-
graphic force that recited to the coun-
try at large the history of that great
event as it was enacted. The architect
of that wigwam and of the democratic
wigwam of 1892, as well, had in mind
"a theater The convention in the first
wigwam was on the stage, the press
occupied the place of the orchestra, and
the audience was in the pit and the gall
leries. In the democratic w!gwam the
stars of the convention were on the
stage, the press occupied places in the
wings back OF the stage, the ordinary
delegates were in the pit, and the audi
ence in the galleries. In neither case
