Substitute for Lycopodium.

Lycopodium is the basis of nearly
all the face powders on the market
and has also a number of other uses
which make it an article in constant
and large demand. Among it's other
uses is that in the foundry as fac
ing powder. The surfaces Of the
moulds are moistened so as to cause
the facing powder to adhere, thereby
producing such a perfectly smooth
surface that the resultant casting will
not adhere to the sand. 1t likewise
prevents the appearance of sand
holes, and also permits the metal to
reach the fine and more minute i'm
pressions of the mould. For many
years there has been no substitute
for this powder, although many eff
forts have been made to find some
thing cheaper; but recently there has
been placed on the market powder
called Lycodin, which is said to be a
perfect substitute for lycopodium in
the foundry The fact that lycopo-
dunn floats on water and that the in.
ability of lycopodium to incorporate
itself with water are very character
istic. In testing lycodin with water,
as before mentioned, it exhibits the
same phenomenon as lycopodium.
Lycodin has a still greater advantage
in that it can be applied without mois-
ture in all instances to the dry sur
face of highly or otherwise polished
pattern Lycodin also covers one
third more surface than lycopodium

INTERESTING BIOLOGICAL DIS.
COVERY.
NEUROLOGICAL Polarity of the HUI
man Body Proven.

MoTPHoiO9iSNl FO'dIity ol VIC IIu-
man Body Proven.
Prof. Jacques Loeb, the biologist,
has succeeded by experiments at the
University of California in confirming
theories he has long held, that the
polarity observed in the regeneration
of the animal body does not exist in
the cells. but in the streaming or re-
generating process OF the body, NOV
ing from the basal to the oral pole.
In the bulletin bearing the title
Concerning the Dynamic Conditions
Which Contribute Toward the Deter
mination of the neurological Polar
ity of Organism" which was issued
at the university, DR.. Loeb give the
results of his experiments.
The value of DR.. Loebs experiments
lies in his success in proving with
animal bodies the theories that 9TH
er scientists had advanced after eX-
periments with plant life. In the 18th
century two investigators, Du Hamel
and Bonnet, arrived at the conclusion
that certain sap currents are respons-
IDLE for the fact that in plants, at one
end of a piece cut from branch, an
apex arises, and at the other end
root is formed.
Du Hamel assumed that specific
sap causes the formation of roots
and that this sap moves basalward
in the stem of the plant, while the
fluids which give rise to the forna-
ton of branches move upward.
DR.. Loeb took his cue from the re-
suits obtained by the Investigations
of these and other scientists The
idea that sap currents and the col
lectlng of materials form the cause
of regeneration and organ formation
suggested to him a fruitful field of
research. 1t was then the general
belief of scientific men that the in
dividual cells in the animal body are
polarized and that, therefore, there
is produced, at the basal end, organs
different from those at the oral end.
But the experiments with the plants
led DR.. Loeb to believe that the same
conditions obtained i'll animal life as
in plant life, and SO he pursued his
Investigations to prove the morpao-
logical polarity of the animal body.

grew suddenly darkwith angry clouds;
the wind rushed up from the horizon,
beating the water into restless surf;
the waves hurled themselves against
the rocks and dashed in boiling foam
on the sharp reefs
The little child had dropped his toys
and fallen asleep, thinking the night
had come.
On the sands below the house
woman with clenched hands gazed
into the tempest, striving to pierce the
darkness with her wild vision The
wind tried to hurl her back, the rain
beat on her bare forehead she did not
know Motionless she stood through
the long hours with no thought save
one.
The storm abated the black turned
to gray, the sky clearer and ray of
light shot up from the still restless
sea-
1t fell upon a statue on the sands
a woman who had turned to stone; a
fisherman's wife. nay, widow, with
dark staring eyes from which the glad.
ness had fed, leaving only a shadow.
The driftwocd fire flared up again.
but the child slept and did not feel the
passionate kisses on his cheek. He
was too young to see the shadow, too
young to miss the strong, tender
daddy" who had tossed him in his
arms that long-ago sunny morning; too
young to see the pictures in the fire.
The great piece of wood his childish
eyes had admired suddenly blazed up
and split apart. revealing in its rudy
heart the vision Of fishing dory with
sail set
The boy stirred and sleepily raised
a small brown mead to brush away the
hot tears that were falling upon his
cheek.
The widow arose and laid the little
fellow upon the bed in the next room.
Then she returned and stood for few
moments with tightly-clasped hands,
gazing into the dying embers before
she quietly stopped over and covered
them with ashes.
Upon the weather-worn, jagged
plank that had just crumbled on the
hearth a iacknife had once carved in
rude letters the name "PolJv THE

a New Bureau Needed.

Another invitation to a wedding!"

morning. II wish to goodness my

invitations. This one means a pres.

do confoundedly hate to have to
rack my brains deciding what to give,
and nine times out of ten striking on
the wrong thing. We have bureaus

be an immense saving of gray matter
If some clever individual would estab-
lish bureau where an unmarried man
like me could go and give an order
for wedding present with the fair
chance of having something suitable
selected and have nothing more to do
than pay the bill"-Brooklyn Eagle

The claim recently made by an ex-
pert of the agricultural department
that the hen. and not the eagle. is
the Great American Bird. is backed
UP by the fact that the eggs produced
in this country in a single year have
a market value of two hundred and
fifty million dollars
A careful examination of trees that
are struck by lightning shows that
over half of them are poplars. From
this fact scientists conclude that the
poplar has some value as conductor
Of lightning. Therefore, agriculturists
are advised to plant these trees in the
vicinity Of their farm buildings.

ore thus far found has been of high gradeand 1t also runs well in the pre-. cious metals With connection between the shafts made, and with the bottom drifts into ore, there will be some thought given as to when to run little ore to the smelters. It is likely the Copper Queen company will be given chance to treat the ore for a time at least. They have offered to do this at very low figure, and it may be decided to let them have the business for a time. They have plenty of smelter room in their new plant at Douglas.

 The Octave mine was discovered and located by T. E, Perry and c. E. Runner m 1884. They built a ten. stamp mill, and in 1899 sold to the Octave Gold company. Ia July 1900 this company put up forty stamp mill, one of the best built mills in the territory.

COPPER QUEEN SHELTERS
 AT BISBEe ARE CLOSED

At g O clock this morning June 24 the last two bars of copper were taken from converter No 1, at the Copper Queen smelters, and they were then attacked by large force of men, who will tear down the big plant.
 The last two bars of copper from the smelter were reserved for the Copper Queen company, which will place them on exhibition either in this city or at the New York offices.
 The closing down began shortly be- fore o'clock this mDrning, though the tires were not put out until after 5 o'clock. At o'clock the men were ordered to extinguish the rem iining Ares, after which they were dis. charged, some to go to DJuglis and others to hunt new employment.
 It is only the oldtimers In Bsbee who can appreciate whlt the closing down of the Copper Queen smelters here means. During the past twenty five years 1t has been bnilt from a small unimp1rtant industry to one of the largest iu the west.
 The coppsr Q leen sm 'ltcrs have been ma ter of evolution. Each succeeding year has brought iditions to the plant u ntil it bectme what it was vest rday-a smelter capable of handling 800 tons of ore each day and em ploying nearly 300 men.-B Bisbee Miner.

More About Silver

To the Editor:-Is the silver coin of the United States backed by gold? What is the meaning of a silver certih- cate? Is the English silver backed with gold? F. K
 There is no direct law requiring the United States government to redeem its silver coin with gold, but the coun- try's credit has been pledged to main- tain the parity of the two metals.
 1t has been held that to do this, the treasury department is required to make the money interchangeable. A silver certificate is the certificate of the treasurer of the United States eerti- lying that given number of silver dollars have been deposited in the tre- asury This certificate is made a legal tender, and under the rule of cone struction heretofore referred to,it is re- deemable in silver or gold at the op- ton of the holder.
