Dr.. Thaddeus 0ah1n -
ELECTRICITY IN SMELLING.

THE Canadian government in 1904 sent
a commission, headed by DR.. Haanel,
superintendent OF mines, 20 Europe to
inquire into the different electro-ther-
mic processes for the smelling OF iron ores
and the making of steel Careful in
vestigation of the various processes used
at different points was made. and the re-
suit reported on the return Of the COM
mission was so favorable that the Cana
dian government decided to make further
experiments and tests with Canadian
ores, and selected Sault Sainte Marie as
the point where they should be made Prep
arations for making these tests we're COM
menced In November, 1905. under the d.
rection Of DR.. Heroult. OF La Pras,
France. the inventor OF the process bear
ing his name. The experiments were made
under the supervision OF DR.. Haanel and
Or. Hercult, and were concluded on March
8. The result was teiegraphed BY Dr.
Haanei 70 Ottawa az foilows:-
'iSuccessful demonstration OF all points
stated In my memorandum on electric
smelling OF Canadian iron ores requires
linvestisation Output greater than figure
sion Successful substitution of charcoal.
and therefore Of peat for coke"
The experiments were made with hema-
lite, magnetic and titanic ores taken from
various places. some OF which DR.. Haansl
could not treat commercially by any other
KNOWN process. Inc tuTndce uSeu Wdh

treated, 0.o03 per cent In the metal About
100 tons OF ore was treated, making IS tons
OF iron, Of mostly car wheel quality. The
pyrrhctits referred to by DR.. Haanel was
roasted nickeiiforous or from the nickel
mines near Sudbury. No serious difficulty
was encountered in the making OF the ex-
periments; everything worked smooth and
easy.
Both DR.. Haanel and Dr. Herouit as
sert that the tests fully demonstrate tina;
the process II commercial success. No
full detailed statement VIII be siyen to the
public until report is made TO the govern
ment, but DR.. Haanel says that as soon
as his report Is made out II VIII be for
warded to the Department OF Commerce
and Labor ct Washington. The two prin-
cipal points that have been demonstrated
are that the electrical process is good so
for as the ore - concerned. in that II pro-
duces a superior quality OF iron; that sui

ITO get the cat" was the reply.
That cat is the pet of the ship.
When the flagship went to Hilo. the
cruisers cat stayed behind to get ac-
Quainted with the cats of the tropics.
He evidently got pretty well acquant-
ed, for when the cruiser returned and
"the cat came back" he was battle
SCARED veteran.
Beside the cat the battleshiD boasts
rat. Not plague rat, but white
rat from Bremerton, Wash That rat
is also pet and is a glossy, well-fed
well-mannered rodent, as white as
driven snow. The sailor who seems to
be his special guardian says that the
more he pounds the rat the better he
likes him.
He crawls all over the boys, takes
his cigarette smoke like a Spanish SEN
orita, and makes himself quite at home
wherever he is, But he never gets
shore leave"
The cat and the rat are the best Of
friends. Once in awhile the rat gets
little too familiar to suit his cat
ship and bites the cats lips with his
sharp teeth, Then the cat looks panied
and turns up his eyes to the boys for
sympathy He never seems to think

New York, May 3O.-The profits Of
the Standard Oil company from the sale
of gasolene and naptha are larger than
at any time in the history of the cor
poration. A person in close touch with
the affairs of the Standard Oil companv
says within a few years there will be
a big shortage of naptha and gasolene,
if some substitute is not found. 1t is
likely due to the demand for these by
products of petroleum that high grade
oils have been advancing in the past
twelve months.
There has been no perceptihle in

which the most of the gasolene and nap
