Buffalo commercial.
The Commercial Of Saturday told how the
celebrated boxing monkey that belongs to Dan
Qusnlan swallowed q watch and taken to
the hospital DR.. Wilson tried TO avoid an
operation, but Sunday he that the opera
tion known TO surgery as gastrotomy would
have 20 be performed in order to save the
monkeys life and recover the watch. A
number OF prominent physicians and surgeons
were present.
Dr. Davidson. OF Columbus Ohio was called
upon TO administer the ether. When placed
on the table the monkey seemed to realize
what was about 10 take place. Il shed tears
as Il shook hands with persons II recognized
II was IN every respect like a human being
II willingly took the ether. DR.. Wilson ap-
piled the knife. The watch was found in the
stomach and was removed. 1t was very bright
having been highly polished by the gastric
juices and was none the worse for the strange
trip Il had taken. The monkey sewed
up by DR.. Wilson In approval style and will
recover.
After coming out Of the sleep produced by
the ether the monkey smiled and shook hands
with and bowed to Drs. Wilson and Davidson.

THE BOOK THAT WILL NEVER BE

To sages long forgotten,
To light In the distant past.
So many voices beckon
Us for life and hope at last
Our lifes Ideals been given;
For Improvement we never may look.
For sure a decree from heaven
Forbids us to add TO the book.
Yet the world Is adding chapter
After chapter TO the book,
And never-ahi no, never,
VIII IL close this sacred book.
More gentle and more tender,
And truer and as brave
II the life Of every chapter
With love-lights TO the grave.
Sure the world Is moving upward,
Ever upward" be our cry!
AS our nfe,s ideal moves upward,
Far Ger Garth or heaven or sky.
Then, when through lifes blue gateway
Our soul so sweetly goes,
Wen add brighter chapters in that day
To the book that will never close.

BARITES.
Sometimes Called Heavy Spar, Pure
and White

Barite or Barytes IS very heavy
white mineral used largely in the adul
tcration Of white lead
1t is scarcely ever found without its
being somewhat stained or discolored
from its connection with earthly or iron
substances.
The mineral is carefully assorted,
crushed and treated to sulphurc acid
bath to remove these stains.
1t j. then ground to an impalpable
powder hoated on water or in air, the
residue being reground and again float
ed.
The fine material is packed in barrels
and sells at about $1,000 per ton in
/ Chicago,
The crude barites, when fairly free
from iron ,tans, is worth about : 90
per ton at St. Louis.
That city i the great barites mar
krt Of the country.

Just south Of Mexico on the Illinois

veins Of this beautiful mineral, with not

OCHRES AND UMBERS.
Unusual Advantages Offered to MANI
facturers.

Ochrc and selma earth, native earths
tinted with iron, are in abundance.
Calcinng these earihs expels the
water and changes them into red oxide
The nature Of the associated earths also
influence the color assumed by an ochre:
with aluminium compounds 1t develops
red or violet tints, while the cacareous
varieties take brownish red aud dark
brown hucs.
The principal mineral reds owe their
color To oxides Of iron which is in great
quantity throughout the Western and
Southern portion OF the district. These
reds are closely allied to the yellow
ochres,
Tints passing from orange t. deep
purple reds are obtained 10y the calcin-
ing of the yellow ferro oxide, or rather
the yellow ochre so prevalent with us
Rouge, or Mars Red, Crocus, Indian
Re and Turkey Red are all pure ferrc
oxide varying in depth of tint fro the
burning or calcination in different de
grees of heat. The other iron reds are
all of the nature Of ochres.
iron and manganese, two minerals
found in abundance here, are the
sources Of the principal brown pigments
Some Of these browns are intermediate
products between yellow and red ochrc:
these colorS may be heightened or other
wise 10y burning.
Nandyke Brown is a pure iron oxide
and iron earths Of clear brown hue.
Many shades of FELLOWS, reds and browns
can be prepared from these earths hy
mixing and 10y different degrees OF heat
used in burning or calcination.
Barytc White has been alluded to IN
special article in this issue
The district offers unusual advantages
for the manufacture of these colors, low
priced coal, cheap lands and an abun-
dance Of raw material.
Tho market price OF yellow ochre in
New York is $500 to $1,000 Ter ton; Of
lumber $1,000 to $1,000 Ter ton
