 The "bucking and snorting and re- fusal to start of the gas engine may be due to moisture in the cylinder. which often prevents regular ignition til dried by the heat of several explo- sions. By shutting off the water jack let few minutes before stopping the 'engine. and not turning it on again tn after the engine begins to ex- plode regularly when again started. the difficulty may be obviated.
 Asbestos is a calcium magnesium .silicate. It is purely mineral and in no sense of vegetable" or organic composition or origin. Its separa- ton in some varieties into silky hbers is a natural property of the mineral us much as the separation of mica in- to plates of extreme thinnes.s. Asbes- tos of good quality is unaffected by heat. and for this reason is utilized in making fireproof and refractory ma- terials.
 Large quantities of lead have been used from year to year in China for the lining of tea chests. A crude method yet in vogue for the manu- facture of lead sheets for tea chests is as follows: Molten lead is poured upon a large. flat and very smooth stone, and upon the lead is placed a similar stone. which is forcibly press ed down. 4 thin sheet of lead is thus obtained.
 In obtaining moisture of sample. each portion should be placed in a pail as rapidly as possible. to prevent evaporation before making the test. and mixed. 4 portion may then be dried. It is preferable. however, to dry the entire sample. The difference between the weight and dry weights. divided by the wet weight. gives the percentage of moisture in the wet ore

The Review learned yesterday through a reliable source that the Pittsburg & Duluth Development company, operating in the Bonanza circle in the Warren mining district Is to be converted into a mining com pany on October 25. The basis of transformation will be two and one. half shares in the mining company for each share of the development company. In addition to this each stockholder in the development com pany will be allowed to buy two and one-half shares in the mining com pany at so per share. This will be on the basis of a value of S20 per share for the stock in the new mining company.

A tale is told of family consisting

worse than uncertain.
One evening, just at dusk, the neigh

thumps and other unaccustomed noises
issuing from the house, and supposing
that the place had been entered by
burglars several persons went in al
the open door and proceeded to inves

The sounds came from an upper
room. Rushing upstairs, the intruders

and gently plucked the sleeve Of lis

You know Jackson-that grocery

ON the train up In Wisconsin among

stopped some prosperous-looking man

We would go duck hunting. He said
he was born and raised in that part
Of the country and knew Of an old

the law allowed. 1t Is fine to plan q

suits to guns, and started early in the
afternoon. 1t was fine day for ducks
so the man said who rented us the

money on deposit case we didn

we were within shooting distance.
Suddenly we heard people talking.
Looking up, we saw a new farmhouse

an awful suspicion flashed through our
minds at the same time. Jackson said
they must be tame ducks belonging to

CIVIC IDEALS.

Methods whereby reform and progress have
been iDauSurated in the large cities point 20 de-
mand, which likely will remain permanent for two
active factors in municipal affairs. One factor must
exist to accentuate political ideals and another to
define ideals for material advancement and the
general bettermcnt of all of life's conditions.
More than ar any past time the peop-e Are now
exhibiting genuine interest In municipal business.
Crime and misEovernment have emphasized their
duty of putting good In office; although. uDfor-
tunately there s not as yet. sufficiently wide
appreciation of the worth of honest and capable Of
fcIals. The Iosses incurred In public Improvements
and the injurious mistakes which may be charged
to incompctency have impressed the importance Of
having and following ideals for progres-.

attention riveed on the political ideals of large
community.
The ideals which re!ate To material ami social
md moral betterment are seemingly impractical.
and they appear. therefore 10 be unnecessary fea-
lures In the past they may have been impractical
and unattainable. But In the better circumstances
created by good government their value is recog-
nized and e is manifested that they can be realized
to the satisfaction and benefit of al citizens.
The great struggle is at the polls. Good govern
mcnt cannot be secured through the election of dis
honest. incompetent disloyal men. Plausible is
sues do not warrant expectation of good results
Issues MAJ be better than nominees. A reliable
and competent offers greater security for good
results, though issues be doubtful, than doubtful
man. though the issues he agreeable. Adherence 10
political ideals Is the chief essential for maintaining
good government.
Pursuance of the ideals of progress aud better
ment acts as check against unfaithful and In
competent officials: II keeps standards prominent; II
renders support ro loyal and able officials, and it
inspires popu ar sentiment and civic pride This is
force that is necessary to achieve systematic prog
ress. 1t cannot be dispensed with in the future.
With these factors active there will be no occa-
sion for bipartisan action in campaigns: that Is.
for independent tickets. Independent tickets owc
their existence and support to enthusiasm gen
Grated from ideals. Permanent associations, which
hold the standards constantly before the public,
would purify the parties and increase the probabi''
ity of enduring good government. Every city needs
associations to fight for the election Of good meo
and for the maintenance of good government.
