The appeal for aid from fsr-of Russia

the Pacific.
The dreadful calamity that has over-
taken Kansas, Iowa, Georgia and other
storm-rsvaged States is appalling. Floods,
on the one hand, FIRE on the other, have
taken unto themselves thousands and
thousands OF people and rendered many
more thousands homeless. Their pitiable
condition is confronted with famine and
the danger OF pestilence. Diphtheria,
pneumonis and other infectious diseases
have already developed. The situation
is worse at Kansas City and Topeka,
Kansas. and Des Moines, Iowa.
Special trains are carrying provisions
and clothing to the stricken people and
relief is issuing from every section OF the
country. Soldiers are being sent to protect
the sufferers. The work OF devastation
and ruin from the floods continues, and
every day the loss OF life and property is
distressing. There is no way of estimst-
ing the life and property destroyed. The
latest accounts from the stricken cities
are that the waters are receding.

Differ
10.4

1t will be noticed that the difference
between the fire and volumetric assays
vary so greatly that it amounts TO q
farce to call the fire assay a determines
tion Of lead.
1t is not, however, merely a question
of a loss Of 81 per cent Of the lead con-
tents that is involved, but also the en-
tire contents Of certain lots, viz: /, 2
and 8. these being below the specified
amount Of 8 FER cent paid for by the
smelter. As usual, the ores that need
the most con sideration get the least.
The smelter men argue that the assay
gives the yield that is obtained in
practice. and therefore it Is q fair
method Of valuation. This is absolute-
ly false. Some of the members may
recolleot that the smelters brought for
ward a similar argument when the
question OF copper asssying was q live
one, some ten or twelve years ago. It
was proved to be incorrect for copper,
and the writer, for one, believes that
the same is true for lead. As q result
of the copper debate the smelters were
forced to yield, and a rational process
Of assaying that metal was adopted.
II may be interesting, however. to
point out that the prices paid the miner
for the lead contained in the ore are SO
low that the profit Of the sales by the
smelter must more than cover any
loss. For example,: On ores assaying
5 to 10 per cent FIRE, the price paid by
the smelter is 25 cents per unit, or 1.25
cent per pound. The smelter gets 4
cents per pound, and hence he has 2.75
cents per pound to cover refining and
transportation TO New York. This
presumes. of course, that be only gets
AS much out of the ore as the fire assay
shows. On the actual lead contents OF
the ores bought by the smelters he may
pay as little as OF cent per pound,
leaving the difference of 3.3 cents to
pay for the losses, as we'll as the other
items mentioned.

The Two Methods Prsetieed In h
west Sxpiafsed.


The following article, written By A.
W. wsruick for the May Mining aud
Scientific Press, lie from the proceedings
Of the Colorado Scientific Society:
No one familiar with the methods in
vogue for the commercial assay Of lead
ores can feel at all satisfied With them.
The fire assay is so inherently inaecu-
rate that il is Q wonder that the sellers
| of such ores have not made an organ
lied resistance to the valuation of lead
pres By such q method. II is utterly
~unscientific, and it seems to some mem
bers Of the Scientific Society that ID
| might we'll be the subject Of investiga-
ton by rs.
1t is, of course, well known By the
members of this society. that two
methods of lead assay are prscsiced in
| the West: the barbarous fire ssssy-a
relic of the times when Paracelsus and
other alchemists we're leading lights Of
science-snd the volumetric method,
based upon the precipitation OF am
monium molybdate, and known some
times as Alexander's method. This
latter is an excellent one. being rapid
aud accurate enough for all commercial
purposes.
Both these methods are being used
by the smelters, care being taken, how
eyer. to use the method which gives
the lowest results. Thus, the ores Of
Breeze hill and the Lillian mine are as
sayed by the volumetric method. on
account OF the ores containing bis
muth) giving lower results than the
fire assay. All other ores are purchased
on the valuation set by the fire assay.
1t is notorious that the fire assay for
lead ores becomes increasingly inaccu-
rate as the ores become more complex
and lower grade. Thus, ores containing
s per cent of lead, by chemical analysis
may not show more than AS to 5 per
cent by the fire asssy-sn error of
about 40 per cent. The writer has
caused a number of comparative tests
to be made as to the results obtained
by both methods of assay. and the
figures are decidedly interesting.
The ores ssssyed from 81 per cent
lead to 20.6 per cent by the volumetric
process, and the composition of the
ores treated had analyses which varied
between the limits given below:

Tribune. The original theory of our

done with them. Up to the age of pre-.
pairing for college children Of rich and
poor, educated and ignorant, humble

one gaining grace of name and the
other breadth of view. The public
schools were more democratic than any
associations OF adults could be.
Is ID so now Let any one old
enough TO compare one generation with
another recall the publicsscbool asso-
Citations of his childhood and then OBJ
serve the associations 10 which the edu'
cation of his and his neighbors' chill
dren is carried on. II is notorious that
the reign OF academic pretense, sham
accomplishment. industrial faddery and
tyrannical routine is driving out OF the
public sch ools not only the best teach
ers, but the children Of those persons
best qualified by their W education
to Judge what they want for their
children. Not only the children of the
rich seek private schools that might
be mere vanity-but persons of culture
who can ill-afford it practice self denial
to give their children the advantage OF

Citations.
This would be no great matter If

But see the effect of the abandonment
upon the public schools themselves.
They will gradually lose the demo-
cratic character which has been their
chief merit, not only as social and edu-
~cational, but as political institutions.

they will lose the wholesome influence
as critical or appreciative patrons of
those persons of education who in the
main pay taxes for their support.
The public schools would lose a great
deal Of their power in shaping Ameri'
can character if they became chiefly
the refuge of those who can command

the interest of all Americans to strive
to check at the outset every tendency
that seems to lead in this direction.
The public schools should be made at
tractive to those who have free power
of choice. The peoples education
should be made good enough for any
body.

Nature Of Bright's Disease.

Bright's disease, which caused the death
OF Lord Salisbury. Is a very common mall
ady, especially in men past forty years of
age. and may be understood. in a general
way. as a more or less chronic inhamn1a-
ton of the substance of the kidneys. The
afiment may be caused by exposure to cold
and check of the skin circulation or by d.
rect disturbance OF the org ms from irritat-

other indulSences of high living may be
mentioned as leading cIuSltiye factors. The

SHIPMENT OF GRAIN.
New Orleans Rivals New York as Port
for Corn and Wheat.

From the New York Times.
Grain circles in this city are represented
as regarding with concern the figures show
ing the exports of wheat and corn from this
port and from New Orleans for the year
1908 as compared with those of the previous
year and also with those of a succession of
fiscal years, which show-and particularly
in the latest comparison-that New York Is
in danger Of losing its distinction as the
leading point of export for those bread
stuffs There may be some satisfaction to
be derived from the fact that the loss Il
position is as yet only a menace. and That
when all classes OF breadstuffs are cons.d-
cred New York is still the port from which
the expectation of those products Is gre;tt-
est But during the fiscal year the ex-
ports of wheat and corn together from New
Orleans amounted to 81 2T.2I3 bushels.
while the aggregate Of those two articles
exported from New York was 81 La. 06S.
This il not the result OF within or accident.
but the response to an energetic effort to
build up New Orleans as a port Of export
