The Worlds Supply of Nickel

In contradistinction to the mines
Of Southern British Colum bia,
which were started for gold and
silver and found copper, are tine
wonderful mines Of Sudbury, Ont,
that were started for copper and
found nickel. Probably more
mines are discovered by chance
than by systematic prOspecting,ahd
the romance that generally apper-
tains to the discovery certainly
clings to the finding Of pyrrhotite
in Sudbury. Lost in the forest, a
resident of Sudbury was found. in
The morning, seated on an outcrop
of ore that subsequently proved to
be the foundation Of the largest
nickel-mining industry in the
world.
An English firm obtained the
control of The mines, but succeeded
in bungling the management in an
incredibly foolish manner. and it
was not unit! American engineers
directed operations that profits be-
gan to accrue. In 1889 Canada
produced less than 100000 lbs.
of nickel; the production, last year,
was probably in the region OF To-
100000 pounds, of which about ~
per cent. finds its way across the
border So far as human foresight
can tell, there seems no metal IN
the economic world, so likely to
tain it's market value as nickel
Outside of the production OF New
Caledonia, Canada supplies practi-
cally all the word s requirements,
but these requirements become
more and more each year, and new
discoveries of the metal are not
keeping pace with the increasing
demand. 1t is, however, reported
that north of Sudbury considerable
areas of the mineral have teer
found, ard it will be interesting tt
note what effect this will have on
the market value of the metal
which, at present, is largely con-
trolled by the international Nicke

TELESCOPE LENSES,
Astonishing sensitiveness OF These
Wonderful Glasses.

Astonishing sensitiveness OF These
Wonderful Glasses.
with the exception Of astronomers,
few persons have any idea Of the Won
derful sensitiveness of the lens OF a
telescope. These marvellous artificial
ewes can be produced only by the ex'
ercise of the most scrupulous care In
the selection of the glass itself, con-
summate skill and inexhaustible pa
tience. The process Of grinding and
polishing often occupies several months.
When the lens Of big telescope IS
completed. it constitutes one OF the
greatest marvels wrought by man.
An article In the Literary Digest de-
scribes how the sensitiveness Of lens
was illustrated by Alvan Clark, the
greatest lensmaker America has pro-
duced;
Mr. Clark walked down to the lens
and held his hand under 1t about two
feet away. Instantaneously a marvei'
ous spectacle burst into view. 1t seem
ed as If the great glass disk had be-
come living volcano, squirting forth
I.jets of flame.
The display was dazzling. Waving
leaping, dancing, the countless tongues
of light cleaned and vibrated; then mt
fully, reluctantly, they died away, leav
ing the lens rejecting only pure, un
troubled light.
What is 1t? How do you accoun
for the wonder? were the eager ques
lions. 1t is only the radiation OF hea
alternately expanding and contracting
the glass. If the hand had been pu
upon the lens itself, the phenomenon
would have been more violent.
To a person ignorant Of lenses tn
almost supernatural sensitiveness OF
mass of glass weighing several nun
dred pounds is astonishing, but to til
scientist it is an everyday matter, 10
he has instruments that will reglste
with unfaltering nicely the approac
of person fifty or hundred Zee
| away.

PEACE OVER LINCOLN SHAFT
High School Pupils and Club Women
Not at Issue
over IL.

Present indications point toward happy
contamination of the plan to erect bronze
statue of Abraham Lincoln in a triangle
formed by the three walks at the south
east corner OF the high school The little
friction between the school pupils and the
Woman's club was but a tempest in
teapot, as has been shown by a disposition
on the part of the women to cooperate
with and help the pupils in their enter
prise and the desire of Principal Water
house to act merely in an advisory ca
pacity, allowing the pupils to carry out
the plan along lines now being formulated.
The Junior and senior pupils have agreed
with much unanimity TO take hold OF the
project and the belief is the other classes
will do likewise.
Members of the Omaha Woman's club
have shown no spirit to interfere with the
plans of the pupils, but are enthusiastic
in their willingness to help them. 1t was
at first thought the raising Of money SUI
ficient to buy such a statue az was pro-
posed would be too much OF task for
any one class. 1t has been arranged that
an executive committee, one from each
class of the school, take hold OF the work."
Principal Warehouse said:
The statue, which has practically been
agreed on, will cost nearly $500, and the
pedestal about $780, The statue In question
is the one Harry p. Whitmore arranged
for while in Europe last year, when he
called on Franz zelezny OF Vienna, Aus
