The Parker Pen Company are to erect
model factory building on South Bluff
street opposite the Park hotel. The new
structure will, 10 all probability, be
erected this summer and when complet-
ed will be the largest and most model
fountain pen factory in the country. For
some time the Parker Pen company have
realized the fact that their present
South Main street quarters we're too
small and their fast increasing business
has now compelled them 10 seek new
quarters. The company own the prop
erty upon which they intend to build,
the land being separated from the My

was a simple function, much like its
predecessors. but was invested with
the added dignity of the swearing III
of Justice w. III. Timlin, whose ac
QUESTION gives the supreme court its
full complement of seven members.

Mrs. Davidson gave reception at the
executive residence in honor of their
wives. There was not little disap-
pointment on the part of the younger
set of Madison society that the Gus
tomary inaugural ball was omitted.
Governor Davidson discouraged the
idea. not that he is not in his ele

favOrite with the muse of the many
twinkling feet, but he cares little for
display and he was unwilling to put

Chinese authorities have decided
that all railroads built by Chinese shall
revert to the government twenty-five
years after they are opened.
For the first time in their history the
French railways have given German
locomotive makers an order. The loco

monty heavy type.
Bananas are being ripened in Eng

DR.. Arthur D. Little, addressing the
American Chemical Society recently,
mentioned some interesting Instances
of the immense contributions of chem
istry to the work and wealth of the
world. The steel industry, he said, Is
to-day, at every point, under the strict
est chemical control. Abram s. Hew-
lit estimated that the Bessemer proc
ess alone added, directly and Indirect
ly, $2,0OO,OOO,OOO yearly to the worlds
wealth. Chemical processes Of making
madder and indigo colors have changed
the face Of those Industries. One-half
Of the entire consumption Of indigo Is
now produced in German chemical
or.tn te ,tzl
ed by chemistry at half the price of
copper, whereas, In the form of lapis
lazuli!s In the days Of Liebig, 1t was
dearer than gold.
Ekeberg, the Swedish dlscoverer of
tantalum, gave that name to the metal
because of the tantallzlng difficulties
that he encountered while investigat-
Ing 1t. 1t is only recently that tanta-
lum has been obtained in a state of
purity, and the rapidity with which II
has been produced, in response to the
demands Of commerce and industry, Is
almost unprecedented. 1t furnishes an
excellent filament for electric lamps.
Only little while ago the mineral
from which tantalum is obtained was
so rare that not enough could be found
to supply specimens to all the miner
illogical museums. Now Australia
alone produces more than seventy tons
Of tantalite a year. This does not seem
very great quantity, but 1t is to be
remembered that single pound Of
tantalum suffices to furnish $4,000
lamps, each Of 25-candle power. The
metal is so hard that it Is said that
diamond-polnted borer, making 5000
revolutions minute, produces in 1t,
after three days Of work, an excava-
tion only one-fiftieth of an inch IN
depth.

Foundation for Wonderful Smoke
COnveyOr Is Progressing.
Ten thousand tons Of concrete is
being used in the foundation for the
5O6-foot smokestack in course of con-
struction by the Boston and Montreal
Mining Company at Indian Point, Just
across the river from Great Falls,
Mont, says the Seattle Post-Intelli-
gencer. When completed the stack will
be the largest in the world, having a
diameter Of fifty feet inside at the top.
Under charge of Chief Engineer
Scotten Of the Boston and Montana
Company, in this city, the work Of
making the foundation has been start
ed, and the great concrete mixer is
pouring $50 tons of the mixed article
daily into the great hole which marks
the foundation of the big stack.
The building company agreed to have
the stack ready for turning back to the
smelter company Nov. 1 Of this year,
but it Is not certain that the work will

specified.
Although the foundation lies in sight
of the city, and within few minutes
of the street car line, but few people
have seen the starter for the big stack,
or realize its proportions.
One of the necessities for the build
ing Of the big stack was the building
+ of a railroad to the top Of the hill for
the bringing up Of supplies, which was
not completed until a few weeks since.
The new road, with its branches, is
about four miles in length.
The stack will be the highest struct-
ure Of similar kind in the world, ex-
'cept the Eiffel tower in Paris and the
Washington monument in the nations
capital, being but about forty-nine feet
lower than the latter. In the scaffold-
ing necessary to building there will be
100000 feet Of lumber. When complet-
ed it will be the eighth wonder Of the
world, and already Is attracting the
attention of scientific men throughout
the country.
