A Mineral From Ceylon.

Specimens Of remarkable mineral
newly discovered in Ceylon have been
sent to London for analysis. The hope
that this substance might prove to be a
source of wealth in containing large
quantities of thorium, of which incan-
descent gas mantles are made, ap-
pears to have been i'll founded; but, on
the other hand, there seems good rea-
son to believe that it's potentialities in
other directions are much greater than
any one could have guessed: It has al
ready yielded signs of containing two
elements hitherto unknown to chem
lists, and it may well turn out to be the
most precious product Of "Ceylon's
isle"

New Welding Process.

An invention has recently been shown
in Birmingham, England, for the seam
less welding of iron, steel and other
metals by a new process. A fame is
formed by burning acetylene with oxy-
gen, and it is directed in the usual way
by means of blowpipe. It is said
that the hardest metals may be welded
in this way as readily as lead. Not
withstanding the intense heat Of the
fame, the process does not make neces-
sary the protection Of the eyes by dark
glasses, for the mixture of oxygen
with the acetylene removes the glare
and leaves small fame Of green
ish blue color.
Mower County transcript., 1904-07-20

now just finished, that beyond all
doubt have established the reputation
Of the new invention.
"These recent trials were conducted
on the coast of Jutland in very stormy
weather under the supervision of Nor
weg1an naval officers and other mari
time authorities. Two life saving
globes were used for the experiment.
They were both set out from the Nor
wegian man-of-war Heimdal. The first
one had no human beings on board,
but sand ballast corresponding to the
weight of sixteen men. 1t was launch
ed without trouble and made a sue
cessful landing.
''This fact ascertained by signals
from shore 10 the Heimdal the second
globe was set out. On board this one
were two officers and three sailors.
This also cleared away from the ships
In good shape, and a few minutes
after its being dropped into the sea one
Of the trapdoors was opened; the men
crawled out, swinging the Norwegian
flag, set up sails and steered through
the breakers toward land. 1t made
successful trip, and half an hour
later it landed. At the time it was
blowing hard from the northeast, and
the sea broke on four feet of water.
The globe landed about fifty yards
from the mainland. The men got out
and waded ashore. BY experts it was
considered that an ordinary lifeboat
would have been of no use under the
circumstances.
''The globe is made of sheet iron five
sixteenths inch thick at the bottom,
three-siXteenths inch at the sides and
One-eighth inch at the top. 1t is eight
feet in diameter and six and half feet
high and has a double bottom. 1t
draws two and a half feet of water
when loaded. The globe may be en-
tered through three water tight trap
doors. Under the deck, which is locat-
ed about one foot below the water line,
are placed four galvanized iron tanks
with capacity for holding $50 gallons
of fresh water. Along the sides runs a
low seat or bench, and the space un-
derneath the same is filled with canned
goods. In the center Of the inner room
is funnel that can be shoved up, thus
letting fresh air into the globe.
"There are three small windows in
the top for the double purpose of let
ting in light and providing openings
through which rockets can be sent up.
The globe has a movable keel, which
can be let down from the inside. and
also rudder that may be applied in
the same manner. Some small oars
are also kept inside. A cork belt runs
around the globe on the outside, on
which the men can stand and row.
There are also an anchor, with hum
dred feet Of steel rope attached, and a
set of small sails, the funnel serving
as mast
''There is no need for launching the
globe. When the ship sinks it will sim
ply float. Its weight is about two tons,
or the same as that Of large ordinary
lifeboat. It costs about $500 and has
accommodation for twenty men. 1t re-
quires less deck space than an ordinary
lifebOat."
