STRUCK RICH ORE.
Discovery of Paying Vein of Iron Near
Mansfield, Mich.

Crystal Falls, Mich, Nov 6.-The most
important iron ore discovery on the Me-
nominee range in several years has been
made few miles east of this city. The
find is located on the bank of the Michi-
CANINE river, one mile south of the Mans
field mine. The ore body was discovered
by George Mas of Mansfield, with the
aid of a diamond drill.
The drill hole was put down at an angle
of 80 degrees and struck the ore at the
depth of III feet. From that point to a
depth of 194 feet the drill encountered
nothing but clean ore that assays 81 per
cent. in iron and .O51 per cent. in phos-
plate, thus putting it safely within the
Bessemer limit. The formation is known
to dip west at an angle of about 80 de-
grees and as the drill hole was driven to
the east the width of the vein must be
about forty feet

FEELING IS VERY BITTER.
British Consul Talks OF the Situation in
Spain.

New York, Nov. S.-Capt William
Wyndham, who has been transferred as
British consul at Chicago after three
years service i'll Il similar capacity at
Barcelona, Spain. was passenger on the
La Bretagne which arrived from Hayre
today. After spending a week with rela-
tives in Philadelphia he will leave for his
new post at Chicago. He said:
THE feeling in Spain against the
United States is one of great bitterness.
There have been 40 demonstrations in
Barcelona or Whereabouts within the last
year against the United States and the
Spanish government is taking care that
there shall be none. The bitterness.
however, is very marked, particularly in
Barcelona.
The Spanish cannot understand why
the United States, friendly nation,
should allow SO many flibustering expe-
-olitions to get away safely to Cuba. That
fact makes them additionally bitter

Oucen of Confidence Women.

New York, Nov. 6.-Ellen Peck who
has been known for years as the queen
of confidence women, was sentenced to
five years in prison by Judge Cowing.
Mrs. Peck, who is 70 years old, was con
victed last week of the larceny of $1,000
worth of jewelry from Christopher Gini
of this city. AS security she gave the
jeweler $1,000 bond which proved to be
worthless Mrs. Peck has been in prison
before. She first came to the notice of
the authorities in connection with the
swindling of Babbitt, the soap manufac-
turer, out of nearly 81 100000.

are among the suggestions; as are also
great panoramas of the world, giant

principles of science, the closer we get
to them the more simple we find they
are. And SO it is with this one which
may revolutionize many theories estab-

Every electric current has two ends

OF course there is a difference between

The trouble has been that they have

showing the exact difference to the
eye. The first of the reproductions of
photographs taken by Lord Armstrong
which accompany this article is to the
lay mind the most interesting, even if
to science it possesses hardly SO great
value as that of the others. It is
the one with the black spot in the
center, from which streams of light
are seen radiating.
A camera and a very powerful cleo
trio machine were placed in a dark
ened room. The camera contained a
sensitive plate over which a light and
fine powder had been sifted, thus en-
surfing the TACT that, when the cleo
tricity was discharged, the dust upon
the plate would be driven about by
the electric streams and the light
would at the same time affect the
plate. The electricity would thus give
the luminosity which would enable it
to be caught in the act of setting the
dust in commotion, the time required
for it's imprint being but the small
fraction of a second. o.

OF that there can be no question. They
are bovine giants par excellence, for
each measures ten foot in girth,
stands seventeen hands high, and from

abstract difference between positive
and negative poles of current, but the
matter of detail has in great measure
been surrounded by mystery. Now it
is as clear as day. Not only is the
difference exactly known. but it is ex-
actly seen, and any scientific man
counts the labor we'll spent which re-
suits in making apparent to the eve
a TACT heretofore only patent to the
mind
Perhaps, however, the most important
feature of the Whole truth outlined by
these photographs Of electricity, is
found in the SCATTERING of the theory
that electricity is a fluid For nearly
three centuries, or since the time when
Gilbert, of Colchester, gave electricity
a name and made it a science, it has
theoretically been considered n fluid
Who has not read how Benjamin
Franklin with his kite succeeded in
Harvesting the Electric Fluid" as if
it was an every day affair to harness
fluids. Now it is shown that this was
all wrong, and that Franklin. instead
of Harvesting a fluid, discovered the
true method OF directing the electric
current so that it could be made of
the greatest use to man.
AS a matter of fact, there has been
no greater boon to electrical sciance
in the matter of making plain the act
since the memorable day in 1929 when
Grey and Wehler transmitted electric
ity from one point to another. and
taught the world how to distinguish
electric bodies as conductors and nom
conductors. 1t opens the way to a
vast field of research that has hitherto
been blind path. 1t upsets theories,

controlling electricity, for electrical ex-
perts are today engaged in studying the
truths made plain by these photographs
in the belief that by study and compari-
son they may be enabled to accomplish
wonders beside which the achievements
of Edison, Roentgen and Tesla will al
most seem childs play.
Lord Armstrong states that he will
proceed further with his Photographic
investigation and will now endeavor to
picture electricity in it's different forms
and in as many detailed fashions as
possible. In brief he will seek to make
plain to the eye the famous principle
of science that bodies electrified either
positively or negatively attract neu-
trail bodies and bodies affected with an
