TAURIC ACID DOES 1T
1t Reduces Steel to the Consistency OF
Putty - May Be Utilizsd in
Many OF the Mechan-
ical Arts.

One of the most valuable discoveries
Of view, is that made by a Swedish
professor in chemistry in Washington.
He is Theodore Olan. He has found a
new element in the chemical world
which will soften steel gold, silver,
aluminium and many other metals,
making them as soft and ductile in the
hands as ball of putty. The discov-
cry was made by the merest accident,
but that it will revolutionize the work
ing of metals in many of the arts and
trades is beyond question.
The new chemical agent is named
tauric acid by its discoverer. This
comes from taurci moss, the principal
element in the new chemical, tauric
moss being a peculiar lichen or fungus
which grows on rocks and the roots of
trees in many parts of the country.
1t is common in this part of the United
States, but little is known of 1t in chem
istry.
Many eminent chemists who have
heard of the new discovery and have
seen practical tests made with it by its
disCoverer say it is a wonder. in the
world of chemistry, and that it has a
great future before it.
Professor Olan, the discoverer Of
tauric acid, is connected with the lab
Gratory of the Swedish American So
ciety for Chemical Research in WASH
ington. He has given his discovery to
the world without expecting to receive
one penny in return. He will not evan

profit from its use. Nothing but fame

Two Heroes,

From the Youths Companion.
In 1864 vessel built for the South
American fruit trade was bought by
the United States government, and re
modelled into gunboat for the South
ern blockade. Its commander was
Captain Ransom, 1.-The hero of Grand
gulf" and in honor Of his special acts
of bravery at the taking of that place,
the boat was rechristened the Grand
Gulf. D, D, Babcock, in the New
Voice, gives story of two members
of the crew:
The crew of 260 men was made up
of many nationalities, including one
Chinaman, two Manilamen and about
half a dozen negroes. Two of the ne
groes were from the island of Jamaica,
Lyman Hyde, mulatto, and Henry
Jackson a full blooded African; men
a little above the medium height, but
of gigantic breadth of shoulder and
strength Of limb.
My attention was first attracted to
these men in daily prayer meeting
for colored men "way forward on the
gun deck of the receiving ship Yer
mont. A mob of rough Irishmen had
gathered to guy them with coarse
jests, oaths and ridicule, throwing old
shoes and other available missiles at
the heads of the kneeling figures, and
making the one who was leading in
prayer an especial mark. The calm
ness with which the two men received
insults and singing. blows, and the
lofty, almost parental, tenderness
which they manifested toward their
tormentors, was something the like of
which had never before witnessed.
From Jim Gresham, an English
| boatswain's mate, / learned the partic-
ulars of an event which occurred a
little before / became a member of the
crew.
A fire, which may have been smold-
ering for weeks in the coal bunkers.
suddenly burst forth with such vio-
lence that the coal beavers, firemen
| and engineers were driven out by the
| heat, smoke and gas.
| All hands were called to fire-quar-
| tiers. and the matches were closely Sc
| cured to smother the fire. The great
| hose was stretched out and the pumps
| started. The executive officer in few
| words explained the situation to the
| men: that to save the ship the coal
| bunkers must be deluged; that to car
ry the hose below into the gas and
| smoke, and endure the enveloping
| clouds of steam that would be pro-
| duced, was a desperate undertaking,
and he ended by calling for two volun-
! teers.
/ After a few moments of silence. the
| burly forms of Lyman Hyde and Hen
ry jackson moved to the 'front.' and
with their customary quiet cheerful
ness each announced, Iii go, SIT!
| TN go, sir!"
When the ropes were tied about I'M
| der their arms, and they disappeared
down the iron ladder under the envel-
| oping tarpaulin, dragging the great
! hose after them, no one expected to
see them again alive.
A little later two limp bodies,
scorched, suffocated, apparently life
| less. were drawn up and laid on the
deck, the hatch covers We're removed,
| and soon others were enabled to go
below and complete the work that
saved the ship. Hyde and Jackson
| were restored to life. and after weeks
of suffering, to health

There is a probability of Rudyard
Kipling and Peter Dunno of Dooley
fame becoming collaborators on new
play, Kipling supplying the scenario
and Dunno the characterization and

write the play, which, If he does, will
be produced by Frohman.
