Curiosities Of Mica.

From the Engineering Magazine.
The mica as 1t comes from the mines is
in blocks which are theoretically short
rhombic prisms. but practically are scarce
ly recognizable as such. having a very
rough and uneven contour. They have a
very perfect cleavage parallel to the base
and may be split into laminae thinner than
the thinnest tissue paper, and these laminae
form the familiar transparent stove panes
and lamp chimneys. The exterior portions
Of these blocks are Opaque, brittle and
worthless, presumably from the penetra-
ton of water, for mica soon decomposes
ing. thick layer of plates has therefore
to be removed from either face of the
blocks before any mica of commercial size
or value Is reached, and the sheets split
from the remainder are surrounded by
large margin Of worthless material.
But the difficulties and losses of mica
mining are far from being all enumerated.
Even when occurring In blocks Of CONNER
cial size 1t Is rendered valueless. or COM

SEEKS CORDIAL RELATIONS.
Secretary Wilson Talks to Western
Stockmen in Denver.

A dispatch from Denver, Col, last night
says: Secretary James Wilson Of the De-
partment of Agriculture and DIR. E. Sal
mon, chief Of the bureau Of animal indus
try, arrived in Denver today and met with
the special land commission and the repre-
sentatives Of the National Live Stock Asso-
citation for a discussion of the grazing land
and forest several questions. There were 200
delegates present today
In his address Secretary Wilson said he
had come to Denver as the representative
of the President to learn what was aeitat-
Ing the cattiemen, and declared II would be
the purpose Of both his department and the
administration to bring about more cordial
and pleasant relations between the official
government and the stockmen Of the coun-
try.
Mr.. Wilson spoke of some of the problems
his department has had to deal with; of
questions pertaining to the breeding of
horses; of the need of water; the rights of
stockmen and the necessity of forest re-
serves. He pointed out that the building
Of great levees along the Mississippi river,
near New Orleans, was the outgrowth of
the wfping out Of the forests of the country
further up. The destruction Of the trees,
he said, had removed the only means for
holding back the snobs and rains in the
hills, with the consequence that great del
uges resulted, and these had cost the gov
eminent and people countless thousands in
the destruction Of property.

Gum From Bacteria.
From Harper's Weekly.

From Harper's Weekly.
The beneficial effects of bacteria are no
less interesting than the part they play
In the propagation of disease, and a re-
cent discovery Is that the vegetable gums
found on trees, such as gum arabic, are
the results of their activity. Previous to
some Investigations by DIR. S. Greig Smith
Of New South Wales, IT was believed that
vegetable gums were the result of the
unhealthy or pathological conditions of
the trees on which they were formed, but
the entire subject was one about which
comparatively little was known. DR..
Smith believing that bacteria produced
the gum examined two trees from which
II exuded, and obtained two varieties OF
bacteria, of which he made cultures.
Under ordinary conditions of culture
the formation of gum was only sug-
gested, but when tannin, a constituent OF
bark was added to the culture medium, a
thick slime was produced In considerable
quantities. This slime was made up of
gum, as well as bacterial cells and al
buminoids, and by simple chemical
process a clear, transparent and brittle
gum was obtained similar to the arabin
derived from gum arabic, and resembling
in its essential properties the natural
substance. DIR. Smiths conclusion was
that the arabin gums derived from trees
are bacterial and not higher plant prod
vets, and that certain constituents Of the
sap under the action of bacteria. are
changed into gum. which exudes from
cracks or wounds in the bark. or else is
carried by the sap to the fruit

War to the Knife in New York.

A dispatch from New York last night
says: War to the knife is now declared
between the Building Trades Employers
Association and the striking unions of the
Building Trades Alliance. The threatened
lockout by the employers was officially de-
clared at O'Clock last evening, and the
citv is now brought face to face with the
most acute Industrial crisis 1t has witnessed
for many monihe'J .
. While the lockout Is likely to become d.
rectiy lucrative against about $4,000 men,
IL may affect. ultimately not fewer than
10000. II
In the meeting attended by every member
of the board of governors and In which the
action taken has been unanimous, all the
unions now on strike, either in the subway
or on other building operations, have been
notified that unless. such strikers are back
at work tomorrow morning at the usual
hour these unions will be locked out and
their men VIII be left on the street on Mon
day morning. This order will apply to all
strikes now operative in New York city and
within twenty miles thereof. In the case Of
the Plumbers Union their men are given
until Monday morning instead Of Friday
morning to resume work. The reason for
this exception in their favor is that their
representatives maintain that they did not
receive a copy Of the associations letter Of
warning at the same time 1t was served
upon the other unions The plumbers, If
they do not return to work by Monday
morning, will be considered locked out
along with the other tradesmen analiated
