the geology of Connecticut. Scientific men give as the explanation for the de- posit the fact that Shaganowaump moun- Jain was once volcano, and that while the eruption of the volcano was in prcg-
 ress the chemical changes superinduct d by the intense heat took place and left in layers about the hill limestone as the first stratum, and underneath the lime
 stone the combination layer of wolfram
 and scheelite. While the volcano was in
 action the tungstic acid acting on the
 limestone produced scheelite, and on the ! iron ore produced the wolfram. At the present time the mining being done Is simply surface mining. Thus far, the layer of lime stone, which Is next the
 surface, is not 30 thick as to prevent removing it and mining in the open cut
 fashion. The strata of lime stone Is about 10 feet thick and will increase in thick
 ness as the mining approaches the crater of the volcano. When the limestone grows too thick to cut through 1t will be Lunneled under. The vein of scheelite and wolfram which is now being worked Is from l2 to 15 feet thick, and of appar- ently unlimited width. The progress of the development of the mine is to work toward the crater of the volcano. When the crater is reached vertical
 ehaft will be sunk, for then the yield of anu 1Cuoollto l6 6AQoGtoO tO O0 much larger. The spot from which the ore is now being taken is about half mile from the plant where it is crushed.
 The building is on the side of the hill, six stories high.
 The ore is practically pulverized and then passed through Hooper sepazators, and the valuable ore Is taken out of the tailings.
 The American Tungsten Mining & Milling Co. does not separate the wolfram from the scheelite. It is shipped to buy CTS as it comes from the separators. But the two can be readily separated by the use of the magnet, as wolfram responds to the magnet and scheellte does not.
 The Krapp steel Works of Germany have taken nearly all of the output thus far. A month ago, however, 6 large con- alignment was sent to an experiment sta tion of the United States Government, and recently 1t was demonstrated that a projectile with 8 tungeten jacket made from wolfram and echeelite would pene- trate the hardest kind of harveyized nickel steel armor.

Rare minerals which are being mined at Long Hill, eight miles north of Bridge port, are being used by the United States Government in series of eXperi- ments to find proiectile that will pierce the heaviest and hardest arm0r plate. The products of this mine are wolfram
 and echeelite, the two being found in combination 10 far nowhere else in the
 world. They are, however, found sep arately, achee)ite being found in the gold equal either in quantity or quality that
 which is being mined at Lorg Hill from
 the ShsganoWaump mountain. Wolfram
 is found in small quantities in Utah, Ar tzona and in the tin mines of Cornwall, Epgland. This combination makes the value of the mine extremely great. W. lfram aud scheelite are the ores of tungsten. At the present time the pro- ducts of the mine sell from $45O to $650 a ton, and the owners of this mine con- trol the worlds market for tungsten.
 Milling Co. was formed a little over a year ago ard has been working the mine since September, and erecting plant. Among those interested in the mine arc Frederick c. Beach, editor of ''Tbe Scientific American" who spends his summers at Stratford; Sir Douglas Fox of London, we'll known authority on mining in Cornwall, England; W. H. Hinsdsle, who designed the unique plant, and who has been identified with the manufacturing of steel for yeare, and Prof Adolph Gurlt of Bonn University, Germany, the chief consulting engineer, who has made several trips to this coun- try for the purpose of shaping the de. velopment of the mine. The resident chemist is Prof Herbert Shilstone, late of Barbadoes, British West Indies, and the resident engineer is Earl c. Bacon. Mr Shilstone is one of half dozen chemists in the world who have analysed or who know practically anything about wolfram or scheelite.
 Some 60 years ago the discovery of the combination of the minerals here was made, the fact appearing in book pub- lished in 1887, by Dr K. U. Shepard, on

THE hEMoDELED EAST WILL AGE METHo'
 DIST CHURCH.
 Ine hiring services were held in the East V.llsge Methodist church, last Sun. day, when the church was used after the pleasing improvements made. The changes and repaire, while not being in any way extensive, have still been decid- ed improvements. Two ugly pillars, which have obstructed the view of the minister for the past hundred year., have been taken out and the support has been supplied by trussing under the purline plate. The upper windows which for merly ran tight up to the ceiling, have been lowered IA inches and g friez 3 plac greatly lowered appearance to the too lofty ceilings and sidewalks. The gallery previously available only as extra seat. ing capacity for the auditorium. has been partitioned off and the floor raised and leveled, making a cozy prayer meeting room. It can be opened into the main audience room by means of broad arch hung with heavy plush curtains. The old "A light windows, short and stubby, have been replaced by stained glass win dows in vertical arrangement, giving a much more pleasant appearance. The four windows on the north facing the people nave Ooen femOVeO 8S nave CQe leaky discolored chimneYs. The decora tions have been most artistically done in
 he rear of the pulpit, double pllastera on ei'her hand give suggeetione o1 strength and permanence. A slightly recessed alcove, bearing over the three panels the simple worde, ''Holv, Holy, Holy" after the style of Wesley's chapel in London, relieves the former barren az. pearance. Above the pulpit is a memo. rial window, the subject being the "As' tension" to the memory of Rev Aaron Pierce, a former pastor and benefactol of the church. This is fanked on either side by gothic arches, bearing radiant crosses in their panels. The walls have been done in water color and two coats of paint applied to the exterior. Among the improvements which add the great est comfort are new wine colored plush cushions throuhgout the church. The work of the artist has been exceedingly satisfactory, the handsome centerpiece from which hangs magnifcient Frink re fl ector, being greatly admired. The enthusiasm and unity of these enterpris' ing people is we'll indicated by the fact that not a single dollar has been expend. ed for labor, save for the decorator the mason and carpenter work, all paint ing and kalsominlng having been don, by members and friends of the church

 Kidney trouble causes quick or unsteady heart beats and makes one feel as though they had heart trouble, because the heart is over-working in pumping thick, kidney poisoned blood through veins and arteries.

The OUTLOOK.

|Ihe OUTLOOK. WOMEN In the state of Idaho, this | IN THE year, the women will vote
 ELECTION. for president. In three other states also they will vote, that is, in Colorado, Utah and Wyoming. It Is said that the interest of women in voting is not as great as it was in 1896, and the politicians, who are supposed to watch the matter closely, say that as rule the wife votes as does her husband, and the sister follows the example of her brother. Yet it is asserted that in the West, where the women have the greatest privileges at tue ballot, the result has been that there has been better order and more lawful behavior at the polls because of the presence of the women. It has also had an i1 1fuence on the party leaders; for if a particularly bad man is put up the women come out in force ard help to defeat him. So that woman's suffrage has it's points of value in our political system.
 'FXPANs1oN." Rev Dr Josiah Strong, whose books on "Our Country" ''The New Era," and others have had a large circulation ard have dealt with the problems of our national life, has just issued new and timely book on Expansion" He takes the view that our entrance into world politics Is inev. itable and that we must grow and in. crease on all sides. According to his view we are to reach more and more the markets of the world. He thinks that the Pacific ocean is sure to become some time the center of the worlds commonwealth and power and that we have done wisely as a nation in securing our foothold in Hawaii and the Philippines. He has these very suggestive sentences from Washington's idea of our nation looking out for itself: "Reduced to its simplest terms Washirgton's advice amounts to thls-'Let us mind our own businees,'- admirable advice for that age and equally good for this. Then our business was COT ined to this continent; now 1t Is in the ends of the earth. By all means let us mind It." It need not be said to those who have read Dr Stroug's other books that this book on Expansion" is packed with facts and figures and is never dull.

The death rate in the tenement house district has alarming ly increased, the number of juvenile criminals has grown very fast, there is 8 regular traffic in bringing girls to New York for immoral purposes. A three hundred per cent increase in homicides is recorded and even the burials in the Potter's Field have doubled since Tam many came into power. Good men of all parties must regret that the first city of our land should be in the hands of a set of men who seek to increase crime and immortality that they may add to their own revenue and political power.
