A TANTALIZING METAL.
Peculiar Properties and Wonderful

Hardness OF Tantalum.
4 rare metal which has attracted

tantulizing efforts were necessary to
produce this metal in its perfectly pure

reached, the metal Immediately became
of such Importance that 1t is now revo-

much sooner, inasmuch as tantalum

remarkable degree.

thirty years of existence as a

School News
by N. 6. JONES
County Supt.

Miss Anna Watson of the Blaine
school brought a matter before
US, which deserves special men,
tion. 1t is concerning Travelling
Libraries.
Miss Watson secured, for the
use of her school and the COM
munity, the use of two. boxes of
selected books of fifty books each,
one miscellaneous and the 9TH
er for reference, without charge,
to be kept for six months.
The books were sent by the
Colorado State Travelling Library
Commission. They have 16O
boxes to be sent thus free to any
place in the state where in de-
mand, and where any person will
take charge Of them, not even
charges for transportation.
A law governing travelling IL
braries was passed by the Gener-
al Assembly in 1903 and since
then the growth has been rapid.
Its inception was with the Col
orado Federation of Women's
Clubs. 1t became too large for
them to carry alone, SO the state
took it in hand, so women de-
serve the credit for originating
so excellent a plan, and Miss
Watson, one of our lady teachers,
deserves credit for getting the
first boxes into Baca county.
We certainly hope that others
will avail themselves of this priv
ilege. Anyone wishing to get
more information as to how to
apply write to Miss Watson or to
this office.
