Can Temper Copper.

l.. q Salter. of this city, has discov-
cred the lost art of tempering copper se
that the metal may be utilized in place
Of steel for many purposes where zorro
sion puts steel at "a disadvantage. He
has made both fiat and coiled springs of
great elasticity, has made good knife
blades, and, best of all, is able to weld
the metal itself and weld it to iron or
steel. Mr.. Salter says his process gives
pure copper all the qualities which it
possesses when the secret process Of
tempering is employed. Trolley wheels
made from tempered copper have out
worn several sets of wheels made IN the
old way. Detroit Dispatch.

OF the Boomerang knew that this was
a forgery when he clipped it and put It
in his columns, yet he would brazenly
and dish honestly perpetrate a fraud up
on his readers. The Omaha Bee OF
