A New-Old Building Material.

Skyscrapers, sidewalks, bridges,
fence posts, dams, roofing tiles, tele-
graph poles, railroad ties, residences,
piles, chimneys-these are a few of
the uses to which concrete has been
successfully put within the last few
years, writes D. n. Harper. In 1890
the total production of Portland &C.
ment in the United States was $780,
900 barrels. Last year over 10000
900 barrels were produced, an in
crease of nearly 10000 per cent. in
fifteen years. That marks the
growth of the concrete industry in
, the same period-for cement is the
essential element in concrete.
Yet, lest modern constructing en-
gineers take too much credit to
themselves for the miracles they
have accomplished, it may be we'll TO
remind them that the ancient Ro-
mans, in q B. c., built of concrete
the famous Pantheon, which is still
one of the sights of the imperial city
and the splendid dome of which is
practically a solid concrete shell
Surely no building material could
hope for a better demonstration Of
its durability than that.-Technical

Forty Years Under Assumed Name.
Walter Marvin Lancaster has car
ried his secret with him to the grave.
He lived for nearly forty years in
Bear Valley, this county, under the
name of John Lang, and nobody
guessed that it was assumed until the
facts came to life after his death.
He blew his brains out.
The inquest developed that Lang
was not the correct name of the dece-
dent. A witness stated that short
time ago Lang told him that in case
anything should happen he wanted
it known that his true name was
Walter Marvin Lancaster, and that
he was a native of Maine. Lancaster
further said that he had killed man
in Maine many years ago, but had
been acquitted. Fearing that the
dead mans friends would take his
life, however, he said he had fed his
home and changed his name to John
Lang.
It was under that name he located

He was highly regarded by all his
neighbors. with whom he was on very
friendly terms, though of his past
life none of them had the slightest
iukling. For years he conducted the
Culbertson toll bridge at his home
but after it went out of commission
like many others he still chung to the
valley and seemed content to spend
hig DAYS there. He was a man OF

The Travelling Salesman.

Better than a letter from your
wife, sweetheart or even President
Roosevelt, is a letter from your firm
increasing your salary" was the in
teresting comment of H. J. Williams,
of La Crosse, sitting in the lobby OF
the Kirby House. Il just received
such an epistle this morning, and l
feel like a prince. Had I received
notification reducing my stipend
| would not have been greatly sur
prised, because my sales recently
have been nothing to brag Of, and If
the firm thinks by giving me finan-
cial lift my results will be more no.
ticeable, it won't be disappointed,
because 1 am going to start out to-
day and work like a major and prove
to my people that am worthy OF the
confidence shown me. There are
times in the life of travelling sales
man, when, no matter how hard he
tries, he doesn't do enough business
in a day, or even a week, to make
him feel like thinking of his occu-
patton. And then again, the re-
verse takes place, but between these
two we manage to even up the
sales.
"Persistency is what wins with us
fellows. No matter how angry your
customer gets after the fifteenth or
twentieth refusal to give you an
order and you are not convinced he
needs something in your line, adopt
the schoolday proverb and try again
Your pluck may elicit his admiration
unless he throws you bodily out oil
the store, and nine times out OF ter
you land him. "-Milwaukee Evening

TO HOLDERS
Of
u. S. rs of 1907

Your bonds will be paid of by the Cow
eminent at par on July l, 1907, or less
than one year from now.
Owing to the demand for Government
bonds, due to the appointment at the pres
ent time of a large number OF temporary
public depostaries we are in position to
pay you for your bonds almost as much
as you will receive from the Government
in principal and interest, even though you
Should hold them to maturity.
We can pay 1884, or at the rate of
SlO32 so, for $1,000 bond. To retain your
bonds when you can sell them at this price
is equivalent to your investing your funds
at rate of less than three-fourths OF one
per cent. per annum.
Conditions are unusually favorable to the
reinvestment of your funds. Railroad bonds
of the highest type are much lower than
they have ruled for several years.
If you are interested In taking advantage
OF the pecunariy favorable oppoItumIy "
sell your maturing Government bonds, we
shall be pleased to have you write US. In
case you have 5000 or more of bonds, we
shall be glad to have you wire us at our
expense.

Confusion of Verbs,

One of two young women talking
to a young man on Philadelphia
street car the other afternoon said:
This car was nearly full when we
boarded it." The Young man, the
moment he opened his mouth, showed
by an unmistakable accent that he
was English. Boarded" he said.
Were your ancestors, by chance, pi-
rates, that you use such a word?
Don't you mean to say when we
took the caro-" Took it," said the
girl. why we didn't take it. We
could not take it, even If the police
weren't looking. It's too big and too
heavy. In fact, it's taking us, isn't
it?" "Oh, / see what you mean,
said the man. Still. wouldn't 1t be
better to say we got on the carr

the vein, and 1t has shown 1t u. be
probably continumicaceous schist
extending in a general direction
north twenty degrees east that can
be traced from Bessemer City north
eastward into Lincoln County. These
schists contain throughout nearly
the whole area numerous small
seams, incrustations and stains of
black manganese material which
gives reactions for cobalt Some of
this material is largely iron oxide
when 1t is more Of reddish or yell
lowish ochre color, but the most of
it is black.
At the Ormond iron mine, one
mile southwest of Bessemer City,
there is a considerable quantity of
this material found miX,d with the
iron ore, and il may be that It was
the cobalt which went into the pig
iron that gives this iron its repu-
tation for hardness and toughness.
AT the Long Greek Gold Mine, stu
ated about six miles northwest of
Dallas, CASTOR County, masses of
quality, taken out of the Asbury
shaft, were thickly encrusted with
mammilary masses of asbolite or
earthly cobalt. About a mile north
east from the Long Creek mine, on
the old Lincolnton, Yorkville, S. c.,
road, near the summit of Cross or
Piysour Mountain, a band of rock
nreen feet wide across contains
veins and seams of wad or asbolite.
Following this vein in a northerly
direction, it descends the west slope
OF Cross Mountain and fifty years
ago number of openings had been
made on the asbolite seams. Some
OF this material was analysed and
gave 1926 per cent of the cobalt
and nickel oxides, the larger amount
of this being cobalt. The same for
nation can be traced into Lincoln
County and similar seams of wad are
observed.
The original minerals from which
this cobalt oxide is derived may be
one of the sulphides mentioned
or one of the sulphides that
contain both nickel and cobalt.
Where 1t l. Found.
AS all the cobalt identified ia
North Carolina has thus far been as
ISOLATED with psilomelane wad, il is
such deposits that will attract the
most attention in prosecuting for
this metal. This mineral has been
found at a great many localities
throughout the State. as at SCOTS
Hill, Burke County, near Lenoir,
Caldwell County; At Gillespie Gap,
near Bakersville, Mitchell County;
on Cove Creek and Richmond Creek,
Haywood County; near Buckhorn,
Chatham County; Murphy, Cherokee
County; Franklin, Mason County;
Webster, Jackson County; and Zir-
coma, Henderson County.
The simplest test of cobalt is by
fusing up some of the powdered
with borax, the cobalt oxide
giving to the resulting boraH glass a
deep blue color. This test is so deli
cate that it will show even traces of
cobalt and can be used even when a
large percentage of nickel is asso-
ciated with the cobalt.-Charlott

The Love of Home in the Horse.

iAN AlONC vi III tilt EIOTSts
The strongest instinct in the horse
is that of home-all his thoughts and
interests lie there-and the most
wearing pain he suffers is that of nos
talgia-the longing for the familiar
stall and the well-loved surroundings.
What wonder that our pets invari-
ably return to US from such unhappy
experiences mere shadows of their
bodily condition that it is months
before they regain their usual health
and spirits. We blame the man in
charge, poor feed, bad stabling, in
sufficient pasturage, etc, and over
look entirely the fact that 1t is our
own fault, and the direct result of
heart-hunger which no grass, grain
or roof-tree could entirely assuage.
OF course the little-used muscles
have, from lack of exercise, shrunk
and lost their firmness and plump
ness; the crest has fallen from the
same cause; poverty lines" appear
in the quarters and shoulders; the
tail and name are all out of shape, or
all worn away; the feet stubbed off;
the coat dingy and sunburnt; the
skin full of all manner of scars, cuts
and abrasions; all these are the eff
feet, not the cause, of the lack of
bodily condition which is two-thirds
due sheerly and solely, in the high
bred, nervous, sensitive horse, to
simple homesickness.-Frank NJ.

How Baboons dispose Of the Aged.

I'm certain parts of Africa" said
Thomas Asbaldistone of johannes
burg, there are balloons which carry
into practical operation the doctrines
of DR.. Osler. These simians have no
earthly use for the aged of their own
tribes and when one of their kind
gets too old to help himself the rest
ostracize him completely, neither toll
Grating his society nor helping him
to sustain life.
Never was there an exhibition Of
such callous and cold blooded indif-
ference as these 'babyans' show to
their helpless old. One of our scien-
tific men who had made a study OF
this phase Of their life told me that
in this treatment of the aged by the
balloons the theory of Darwin was
indicated, and that there need be
no further search of the missing

The North Carolina geological
and economical survey has, during
the past two or three weeks received
a great many letters regarding the
occurrence of cobalt in North Caro-
lima, and it has been thought that a
short article giving a description of
the occurrences of the cobalt and the
localities where it is known to occur
in North Carolina would be Of in
terest.
Cobalt is a material that is very
similar to nickel and nearly all the
minerals in nature that contain one
of these metals contains also a small
percentage of the other. There is
great similarity between the two
metals and in the reduction of the
ores both the nickel and cobalt go
into the matter, which is afterwards
refined and the two metals separa-
rated from each other. ION account
of the small demand for cobalt,
there has not been great deal of
prospecting directly for deposits of
this metal; while on the other hand,
the demand for nickel has constantly
increased so that deposits of min
erals containing this metal have
been prospected for in many sections
of the country. Up to the past two
years all the cobalt has been OBJ
tanned in this country, and Canada
has been as a by-product either in
nickel or lead mining and smelling,
and there has been no direct mining
for cobalt ores. Recently, however,
new sources of supply of cobalt ores
containing but little nickel has been
found in Canada, which have result
ed in the production of cobalt in
some quantity and this could be in
creased very largely if a sufficient
demand for the metal could be
created. These deposits are along
the line of the Transforming &
Northern Ontario Railway, ninety
miles northeast of the town of Sun
bury, Canada. These cares carry
q considerable percentage of cobalt
and are rich in native silver, which
makes the ore very profitable min
inc
