1t was at Muldoon farm that John L.
Sullivan, the famous pugilist of his day.
was rehabiliated. Hundreds Of influ-
entail men, including leading represen-
tatives Of the American financial and So
cial world, have been visitors and tenn
porary residents of Muldoon farm in
years gone by and gratefully admit that
the unique treatment they then received,
coupled with the compulsory participa-
ton in novel exercises In physical culture
that were enforced under the roof Of
the farm, was the chief factor in regain
ing for them health and happiness.

temperature Numerically opposite to
that of liquid air and in every way as
spectacular.
But, says the New York Herald, un-
like liquid air, the commercial value of
thermit has already been proven beyond
peradventure of a doubt. Its application
in the production of pure metals and the
facility with which gigantic pieces of
metal are welded together are in evil
dence in many cities throughout con-
tinental Europe. The thermit compound
is a grayish black powder, very like
coarse gunpowder in appearance. When
it is desired to obtain molten iron either
in it's pure state, for the arts, or for weld
ing purposes the aluminium powder and
ferro-ovide, or iron rust, are placed in
q crucible made Of magnesia or other
suitable material having high heat re-
sisting qualities. Graphite or clay cruci-
bles will not answer the purpose, for the
heat is so intense that under its influence
they commence to bulge until their dis
tortion causes them to crack.
The thermit is ignited by putting in
small pinch of peroxide of barium, and a
fuse is led to this and ignited. A reac-
ton takes place almost Immediately, and
the solid oxygen contained in the iron
oxide combines with the aluminium.
forming an aluminium oxide, while the
iron contained in the oxide of iron runs
to the bottom of the crucible, in virtue
of being heavier than the aluminium Stag
separated from it.. The reaction produc-
ing this remarkable result takes place in
less than one minute, without regard to
the quantity Of thermit used. Easy as 1t
now seems after DR.. Goldschmidt has
shown us how to use it. this simple for
mula is the key by which every door of
the new science is unlocked and its Sc
crets revealed. The experimenters who
undertook to reduce aluminium during
the last half century, without exception,
heated the mixtures externally, and SO
used the oxygen Of the air to support
combustion, instead of igniting the sub
stances internally and liberating enough
oxygen to permit combustion to take
place inside.
Second only in its usefulness to the
production Of pure metals, but capable
of more spectacular demonstration,
is the thermit welding process. AS a
method for welding, thermit begin where
the blacksmith's forge ends 1t is not
intended to use the new process for weld
ing small pieces of iron or steel, but
where broken pieces of metal of great
size are to be repaired, especially in stu,
1t fulills place ursupplied by any other
method known.

NORTH DAKOTA NEWS


It IL pathetic to see the way the In
dians receive the news that congress
is about to pass 4 bill by which the
white man may take their lands with
out asking their consent. This action
was predicted years and years ago by
Sitting Bull and other irreconcil-
ables. who claimed it was better to
die fighting than to see their last re-
manning lands taken from them. In
dams of this generation will not fight:
they will gradually settle the Indian
question by dying. The taking away
of their surplus lands will hasten the
process, as they cannot live and farm
on 100 acres west of the Missouri.
Although the papers say the Rose
bud and Totten lands are worth $40
an acre Immediately they are proved
up. it is asserted it is ridiculous to
give the Indian over $3.50 an acre.
The Indians say all they want is to
be let alone with the little land they
have. They do not want to sell at all.

Wild and Tame.
Master Anthony Erickson. of Grass
Lake township, near Wilton caught a
young wild duck in the spring of 1901.
The duck became quite tame and
farm. In the spring of 1902 the duck
left, and no trace of her could he
found. Anthony mourned his pet as
lost. At dusk one evening late in the
fall of the same year she came back.
Anthony thinking it wild duck went
for his gun, but found her in the
chicken coop with the tame ducks.
1t stayed all that winter and in the
spring took the same kind of leave
as the spring before, staying away all
summer, and returned again last fall
and is now spending the winter on
the farm. Was it instinct that
brought the duck back?

DIVER AFTER
LOST COPPER.
Overheard Last Week Said
He Could Find No Trace
of ii.

Yesterday afternoon n diver from
Pier No. 1, of New York, camo to
Tottenville to look for a barrel of lost
copper in Staten Island sound.
A week ago while the crew of the
steamer Wyokoff. of the New York
and New Jersey Transportation Com
Tany, was unloading freight at the
steamboat dock they came across o
barrel of copper consigned to the Tot
tenville Copper Works. 1t weighed
81. 900 pounds and while the crew was
running the truck down the gang
plank the barrel slipped off and fell
into the water.
Yesterday afternoon the diver made
three trips to the bottom and was
down four hours in all. At the last
trip, nearly 5 O'Clock, he reported
that he could not find a trace of the
barrel or copper. He said that the
ground was apparently hard enough
but that the barrel seems to have dis
appeared entirely.
