Is, 1899
Dear Folks:-I will write you few
lines to let you know I am still in the
ring. We are in the field of battle now
fighting having begun , weeks ago to-
day. One of the Filipino guards shot at
one of our guards but missed him. our
guard turned around and killed the FIJI
ipino. and then the battle began.
We were called to arms and started
out At 10 clock after march OF four
miles we came TO the battlefield and at
a bout II 80 the battle started in good
shape. The insurgents made an attack
US but were fooled, We ran them
back again on Sunday morning We
made an attack on them and ran them
out of their trenches and a distance of
four miles. They shot at Us from their
cannOns but missed US. They fill these
cannOnS with scraps of chain and iron
When we shot our cannOnS they ran
like rats. and the faster they would run
the more We would fire, to make them
go little faster. We have to bury the
dead FiHpInOs- We buried a lot on
Tuesday. We made an attack on a
town by the name of Caloocan. Dewey
sheued the town and we went in and
took it, We captured the railroad; use
it TO haul food and ammunition on. and
to take the wounded back to town. We
are about ten miles from town. We
have guards all over the town We
captured a lot of cloth of which they
were making clothes for the insurgents.
We took 106 prisoners. Our company
came in from the field yesterday and is
now guarding the prison, which has
about 600 prisoners. l am all right, with
best wishes. FRED GRAFT.

speaking of the new cordiality of
our British COUSINS said a local bust
ness man who has just returned from a
flying journey to the other side. IT was
greatly impressed by a little incident
that occurred while I was in France. I
was on the train going from Rouen to
Paris and shared the compartment with
surly looking Englishman, two very
swarthy French officers of some mill
tary command and a small, scrawny
m1ddie-aged woman, presumably an
American who sat in a corner enyelop-
ed in rugs and reading a Baedeker The
Englishman snubbed me before we had
gone mile, so the talking was done
entirely by the Frenchmen, who pres
emily produced a Partisan illustrated
paper and began a vivacous discussion
OF the jokes. On the first page was
cartoon depicting Uncle Sam as a
grave-robber, despoilng womans
corpse of its jewels, the cadaver being

officers were holding the sheet between
them. and finally one made an untrans-
latable remark, the nature of which
don't care to even hint 1t. Quick as a
wink the Englishman raised his cane
and brought it down, smash. on the
open newspaper, ripping it squarely in
twain. You never saw such astonished
individuals as the Frenchmen, When
they found their tongues there was

Was 1t Aluminium?

Aluminium and Electrolysis recalls an
incident in Roman history which
seems to indicate that aluminium, in
stead of being new, may be only an
other new discovery of an old process.
1t is related by Pliny that during the
reign of the Emperor Tiberius a certain
worker in metals appeared at the pal
ace and showed beautiful cup made
of brilliant white metal that shone
like silver In presenting it to the en-
peror, the artificer purposely dropped it,
The goblet was SO bruised by the fall
that it seemed hopelessly injured, but
the workman took his hammer, and in
the presence of the court speedily re-
paired the damage. 1t was evident that
the metal was not silver. although al
most as brilliant. 1t was more dura BILE
and much lighter.
The emperor questioned the man, and
learned that he had extracted the metal
from an argillaceous earth-probably
the clay known to modern chemists as
alumina. Tfberius then asked if any
one beside the worker knew of the
process, and received the proud reply
