FOR HARDENING STEEL.
Remarkable Results Obtained by the
Use of Rare Minerals.

Use of Rare Minerals.
An indication Of some of the vas,
and almost untouched mineral re
sources Of the United States is giver
IN some facts gathered by Mr.. F. L
Hess of the geological survey, who
has recently returned to Washington
from a season in the field STUDYING
what has been done and what is beina
done with n new group Of steel harden.
ing minerals. The minerals themselves
are not new by any means, but their
application to steel manufacture is lust
being studied seriously by the big
producers.
The minerals used include manga.
nese. tungsten. vanadium and uranium
n a good many Of the rare metals
for which there has been little practi.
cal use till recently. Their place In
steel economy is that l or 2 per cent of
them will change the nature Of the
metal entirely, and it is to see how
these qualities a best be utilized that
liIe DIS uFuIS are now working.
AS to the practical application Of the
steel hardening minerals to the iron
and steel industry, it has been found
that a small per cent, say, of tungsten
will make a tool steel that, although it
Is very hard to work up into a ma
chine, will hold an edge even after it
gets a dull red hot. This enables lathes
where tools Of such steel are used to
be speeded up SO that their output is
increased about three times. The prac-
teal machinist will appreciate what it
means to work with a tool you cannot
burn" in the machine. One disadvan-
tage of these excessively hard steels is
that 1t IS hard for a blacksmith to
forge them. They are very refractory
even at the highest forge heat, and
there is hardly any way Of shaping
them except by grinding. However.
the companies are working at the
problem Of handling them and will of
course solve it in time.
The usefulness OF manganese steel
has already been demonstrated, espe-
cially in dredger construction, where
bearings and working parts made Of it
will stand three times as long under
the cutting action of sand and gravel
as ordinary steel.

Didn't Know Which Got hit.

brick which had dropped from a new

complaint and damages, he consulted
a lawyer. who advised bringing suit.
The case came before the proper au-

$50 damages. Wishing to settle with
the lawyer who had conducted the
case, he asked for the bill.

Rain Increases Microbes.

A scientist of the public health and

has made an interesting observation
on the effect of rain in increasing the
number Of microbes in the stream.
After Il hard rain. lasting several
days. it was found that the microbes
were about six times as in

Now and then in the past when our
esteemed contemporary has come out
with a double loaded editorial announc-
ing the fact that he has shot at us we
awe replied that we were totally un.
aware Of the fact; that we did not hear
the sing Of his bullets; that we would
stand up any day and let him plug
away to his hearts content. He is an
old man. and such things on our part
have hurt his feelings. We are re-
solved not to repeat them. Life is but
a span, and why not let other folks
labor under pleasant decisions If they
will?
For the last five years, as MAYOR of
the town. we have felt it Il duty to
fire bullets through the shoulders of
such cowboys as We're firing lead into
the front doors of the town hall. We
have given the matter serious consid-
GRAFTON and have come to the conclu-
sion to let the cowboys shoot. We are
here today anS gone tomorrow. and if
filling doors with lead will add to any
critters happiness in this sad world
let him fill and be hanged to him.
In September last we stated that it
took eighty presses running day and
night to work OFF our circulation and
that We sen more copies to Persia
alone than any daily in America had
circulation. 1t was an awful lie. 1t
had scarcely gone out to the public
when we became conscience stricken.
We now Owl up to it and beg the par
don of the public. lust what our cir
culation is in the land Of shawls and
WE can't say without looking over
the books. but we don't believe 1t
amounts to 100000 copies weekly.
Last summer we felt it Il duty owing
to the Giveadam Gulch public to drive
FIVE quack doctors out of the town.
We opened on them with hot shot and
hustled them along. but after they had
taken themselves to other pastures we
began wondering If we hadn't done the
wrong thing instead Of the right. We
now invite them to return and pick up
such Il living as they can. and we
promise to interfere with them no
more.
