Just a Case of Mistaken Identity.

In an editorial in the last issue of
the Prickly Heat we note that the
Enterprise scribe is accused of hav-
ing been, at one time, an aspirant
for the position of postmaster of the
village of Virginia
1t is not our intent or desire to
call anybody name like unto that
which led a Mesaba range editor to
Jail a couple of weeks ago-for a
man may have some self respect left
even after having been in Jail or
having held position as Demo
cratic postmaster-but we feel it our
privilege to state that the report is
without foundation.
1t must be that the new conner has
got the Virginia aspirants for
postoffice honors mixed. Per
haps Congressman Bede could
straighten him out on the point.

WELDING WITH ALUMINIUM.
New Process Recently Invented in

tages Over Old Method.

Thermit welding, q new process in
vented in Germany, BASED on the intense
heat produced by the combustion of al
minimum, promises to make perfectly
easy the performance of operations here
tofore possible only by aid of the electric
furnace, and still others to which the
electric furnace cannot be conveniently
applied. 'Thermit"- trans

by It's inventor to a mixture Of alumni
mum and oxide of iron in a granular
state and in chemical proportion. This
mixture cannot be ignited by ordinary
means. 1t may be stirred with red hot
bar OF iron or thrown into fire, or mol
ten cast iron may be poured on it without
causing ignition. But If even a small
portion OF the mixture be raised to a tenn
perature nearly approaching that of
molten steel the chemical affinity Of the
aluminium for the oxygen contained in
the ferric oxide is powerfully developed,
with the result that metallic iron and
oxide OF aluminium are produced, the
conversion being attained at a heat of
5000 degrees: centigrade. Joints made

THE FAMILY Of ROOSEVELT.
Maternal Ancestors Of the President
Not Noted for Their Aversion
to Race Suicide.

President Roosevelt's mother was q
Miss Bulloch, of Georgia, but few facts
have been published with regard to her
family, for the president cannot trace
1t further back than to the Bulloch
who settled in South Carolina at the
beginning of the eighteenth century.
A distinguished antiquarian who has
been investigating the history Of the
family says that the Bullochs came
almost to a man from the little parish
OF Baldernoch, Stirlingshire. the regis.
ters of which are fairly complete from
the beginning of the seventeenth cen.
fury down to the present time. They
unquestionaDly were of Celtic origin
and married for generations into high
land families.
The name originally was Bolloch. It
did not take the form Of Bulloch till
the middle of the eighteenth century.
when the changes in nomenclature at
fected by the Jacobite rebellion would
seem to have affected it. In any case
the name has nothing to do with the
Bulloch family, which is quite undis-
tinguished In Britain, its members
being mostly small cotters. weavers or
Golfers.
Not one of the family is to be found
ut Baldernoch to-day and though there
are representatives in America and
Canada, the family manifests a ten.
dency to die out completely, which
seems to show that Mr. Roosevelt does
not inherit from his maternal ances.

the race

Judge J. NJ. Martins knowledge of
diagnosing medical case is not 80

the learned attorney is directed to
the fact that an arm Gin a dangerous

the patient to play the strenuous

judge failed to see his client before
the game started or there might

To the above Judge Martin says
that it was upon his express advice
