WELDING COPPER.
Il 10 q Matter Of Personal Skill and
Cannot BE Taught.

A Los Angeles mechanic has redis.
covered the lost art. said to have been
possessed by the ancients. of welding
copper. But from his own description
1t would seem that the recovery is
not permanent. and that the secret
viii die with him. as his efforts TO i'm.
part II to others are not attended with
success. When asked to explain the
manner In which he made the discov.
cry, says the Los Angeles Herald, he
said:
Il began five years ago to weld cop.
per Just as ! weld iron. Copper weld.
Ing is an art. not a science. and ev.
erything lies in the eye. In the ability
to take the metal from the FIRE at Just
the proper moment.
Il have been experimenting In weld
ing processes for over twenty five
years, and since I discovered the weld
ing color. have tried To teach 1t to my
men. but without success.
They are unable To distinguish color
variations under fire, which is the one
essential. and which is perfectly sim.
pie and easy for me. In this lies the
great trouble In teaching the process
and this trouble Is increased by the
fact tina; copper is a dead metal and
contains no carbon"
II Is very likely that the art among
the ancients was not general. and that
specimens which have been found In
the ruins of ancient cities were the
product OF individual craftsmen. who
discovered and used II. and II died with
them. for the very reason set forth by
Mr.. Thos. A. Mcneil. the Los Angeles
man using Il. In his statement to the
H.rald.-Nognios lAriZ.) oasis.

arrange. ISN'T III

A woman sees a hat or bonnet in n
milliner's window. 1t Is in the latest
style. SO she determines to have that
hat-or one just like II.
No use to try to dissuade her-she
wants that kind OF a hat! No other
will suit her.
There she displays her will power.
and probably does the same with
everything she buys for herself or her
family. She makes as 1t Were a fem
mime declaration of Independence"
Is 1t not surprising, therefore, to find
some few women who still allow their
grocers to choose for them in import
ant matters like foodJtuffs?
In spite Of the fact that grocers as n
rule have long ago realized the neces-
sity OF catering to their customers
rather than their own desires. there
are still few OF the other kind left.
who show n marked inclination to per-
suade customers to take what they do
not ask for. or desire.
Take Lion Coffee, for instance, the
leader o. all package coffees, an estab-
lished favorite for over twenty-five
years In millions of homes. on account
OF its absolutely pure and uniform
quality.
Wouldn't you thing II impossible
that single grocer can still exist who
would oppose such an tnvincihle argu-
ment OF merit, by trying to persuade
a customer to buy loose coffee in pref
erence to Lion Coffee?
Loose coffee has no standard quality
nobody can guarantee that II Is
even clean.
OF course. really independent and
intelligent women know this, and so
do up-to-date Rrocers. but II women
were as particular about coffee as
about hats. no kind OF grocer could be
without Lion Coffee.

Boy From Vermont a Ward
OF Boston.
ARRIVED WEARING TAG.
George Samuel Abbott, Eleven Years
Old, Was Sent from Vermont to
Be Delivered to Mr.. Mccar-
thy, Boston, Mass.

Boston, Aug. TO- George Samuel Alb
bott, Il years Of age, who arrived On the
Vermont train yesterday afternoon with
large trunk tag hanging from his
jacket, on which was written Deliver
to Mr.. Mccarthy, Boston, Mass has
reached bis destination, Mfr. Mccarthy
being Agent Mccarthy Of the children's
institutions department Of Boston.
The boy, a bright little fellow, was
found BY Patrolman Gavin Of station i
at about o'clock last night ii the Wait
ing room Of the North station, where he
had been patiently waiting since 5
O'Clock. He was taken to the ChardOn
Street Home. The boy said thar the tag
had been put on him BY a woman with
whom he had been living in Tnnbridue.
In an inner pocket Of the bows Jacket
was found 4 slip Of paper. on which was
written 80 fremont street. This is
the Office of the children's institutions
department.
Young Abbott said that lie was born
IN Charlest0wn, but had moved away
when very young. His mother became
I'LL few years ago, and the trustees of
the Boston ehildren's department put him
in charge Of family In northern YER
mont. He has 4 brother and a sister.
He did not know why he was sent to-
thi city He is also reported to have
said that at Tunbridge tie was i'll. treat
ed.
After spending the night az the Char
don Street Home the boy was taken III
charge by the officials 0f the childfen's
institutions. On inquiry at the office
surprise was shown that the incident
should have caused such widespread
comment. One Of the officials said
The boy has been under our charge
for some time lie has been with the
family at Tunbridge but a short time.
They were not altogether satisfied with
him and sent him back. A member Of
the family made part of the trip with
him. We investigate with great care
the families ia which our children are
placed, and are very particular al to-
their character and circumstances The
family where the Abbott boy was placed
Is known personally to our agents and
would not ill-tfeat the child. 1t ii Gus
tomary to notify us when child ID To
be returned 10 ns, and the failure Of the
family with whom young Abbott was
staying to 10 50 caused the confusion 4
This morning the boy denied that lie
had ever said he was ill-treated. He
win probably be placed in some good
family before long.
