down to us were given their hardness
and elasticity.
In modern ties many ideas have
been promulgated as TO methods by
which copper might be hardened, but
none of them has resulted in the pro-
auction of copper that could be said
to be tempered" in the proper sense
of the term.
c. R. Plummer, of Seattle, Wash,
says The Inventor, has discovered a
method of hardening not only copper.
but also some copper alloys. which
probably comes nearer giving the re-
suits of ancient methods than any
thing that has been tried in modern
times.
According to the Plummer process
copper or one of the available copper
alloys is first heated to a sufficiently
nigh temperature, to melt it. Copper
sultate and bichromate Of potash are
then added, and the copper is stirred
until the metal begins to set. The
copper is then rehcated, and after
being allowed to cool slowly it is
ready for use.
The material is claimed to be par
ticularly we'll adapted for the manu-
facture of cutting tools, and for use
in place of steel in making electrical
machinery.

Congressman Champ Clark. of Mis-

Florida is the largest State east of

Her orange groves and big hotels have

WONDROUS FACTS
ABOUT THE BRAIN


If all the telegraph batteries in the
world with all their communicating
wires were thrown together and
worked in relationship to one another,
it would be a mechanism not to CON-

plexity and number of individual
units, writes Dr. T. S. Clouston IN a
recent book on the mind.
These cells do not work each for
itself and by itself; they are asso-
ciated together in groups of hundreds
or thousands, as the case may be
those groups doing the combined work
OF the brain. Different groups have
different kinds of work assigned 10
them. Some have motion, some have
sensation. some have nutrition, and
some have mind, while many forms of
mind-e. e., inhibition (self-cOntroD-

WIDER WORK OF SCHOOLS
IN NEW YORK IN SUMMER

For those children who do not like
gardening, the board will open schools
of manual training and art.
Another innovation is for the benefit
of mothers and their babies. The plan
is to set aside certain roof play
grounds, where cool breezes can be
enjoyed in the evening. Eleven roof
gardens on as many schools are to be
opened, and on each there will be

oENvERs AUDITORIUM MAY T.
II VIII be Completed in Time For the
Big Political Conventions.

Denver.-It is an assured fact that
Denver's big auditorium will be COM
pleted by May /, 1908. In answer to
letter written BY w. F. r. Mills to
Mayor Speer, asking him If he
thought 1t possible for the National
Surety Company to finish the auditor
ium In time to accommodate one of
the national political conventions next
summer, the mayor stated that 1t was
not only possible, but practically GER
tain that all work would be completed
by May LIST.
Ralph W. Smith, third vice presi-
dent OF the National Surety Company,
wrote as follows to Mr.. Mills, chair
man of the convention league:
referring to your inquiry as to
when the Denver auditorium will be
built, desire to inform you that it
will be built by May l, 1908. Since
assuming the contract for the con-
struction of the auditorium, we have
made arrangements whereby there
cannot be any delay. We have ar
ranged for the prompt delivery of the
steel necessary and have sub-con-
tracted already about seventy-five per
cent. OF the work to be done. / have
placed in charge OF the actual con-
petent superintendents in the coun-
try, and / personally expect to give
this matter every attention and con.
sideration. l want to assure you that
no one In the city of Denver is more
Interested In the prompt and early
completion of this building than the
writer, and ! will do everything in my
power to have the building completed
on or before May /, 1908"
Mayor Speer's letter was similar to
Mr.. Smiths stating that IL 1t were
necessary. double shifts would be
worked night and day. The Republi-
can national committee meets in De-
cember and the Democrats meet in
January. at these meetings the con-
vention city for each party will be
selected and 1t is though that Denver
has good chance of getting one of

$2,000,000 worth of this crop Is safe
in dugouts or has already been mar
keted. There will be between 1000

Iy any potatoes have been sold at
less than 10 cents per 100 pounds,
while a good part of the time 80

One-third of the beet crop has also
been dug and most of it delivered to
the factory or at the beet dump. Some
siloing of beets is also being done but

U. P. Builds for Its Competitors.

Cheyenne, Wyo.-That the Union
Pacific is in earnest In its announced
intention to retire from the CONNER
cial coal business January 1st is evil
denced by the order, issued recently,
for the construction of a branch line
twenty miles in length from Rock
Springs to an extensive coal field in
the north owned almost entirely by
the independent operators.
In addition to the main branch there
will be three or four laterals, with a
combined length of about six miles.
The Union Pacific Is building this line
entirely for the profit which can be de-
prived from hauling coal for indepen-
dent operators, and will open no mines
of its own along the route. The indie
pendent coal would, were 1t not for the
Union Pacifics intention to retire from
the commercial field, come into direct
competition with the great railroad
mines at Rock Springs.

NEW YORK BANKS GAIN SURPLUS
Surprise Expressed by Finaneiers
Who Expected a Slump.

New York-The Financier says:
The Official statement of the New
York Associated banks was a most
surprising exhibit. II had been ex-
pected that the bank returns would
show an increase in cash and by rea-
son of a contractions in loans and a de-
crease in deposits and hence in re-
serve requirements, that the surplus
would be augmented. So great n
gain in cash as that disclosed by the
statement was not however, looked
for, neither was the increase In sur
plus that was indicated by the state
ment- Considering, though. the fact
that if a decidedly unfavcrable exhibit
had been made as the result of a close
conformity with the actual conditions
of the banks. it might have a disturb
ing effect, because of the serious
distrained monetary situation the lib
eral treatment of the averages, which
appears to have been made, may be
regarded as excusable under the cir
cumstances.
THE cash gain as officially reported
by the statement. was $6.443, 100, or
about five millions in excess of the
gain that was estimated upon the
basis of the traceable movements of
money during the week. There was a
eral deposits, the contraction in loans
more than offsetting by this sum the
gain in cash. The required reserve
against such deposits was reduced
sS4.100. adding which to the increase
In cash was s6,257 200 as the augmen-
tation in surplus reserve to s11,1S2.-
605.
Computed upon the. basis of depos-
its less those of s3445O,10O United
States deposits. which was greater by
$962,500 that in the previous week,
the surplus is s19, 9,796.175. Loans were
contracted of s6.555.600. doubtless the
result of speculative and other ac-
counts on the stock market; the ex-
cess of loans over deposits was six
millions less than that which was
shown in the week of October 18th.
The daily average OF bank clearings
was s303, 100000. Clearings on Satur-
day representing Fridays business
were s909,065.902 Comparison of
loans by individual bankers show that
five institutions contracted this item
by $4,500,000 net. eight banks gained
$500, 900 net cash"
The statement OF clearing house
banks for the week shows that the
banks hold $11,1S2.650 more than the
legal reserve requirements. This is an
increase of sG.527. 200 as compared
with last week The statement fol

was damaged by water
The fire started in the engine room
and soon burned through into the
main building. When the department
arrived the building was completely
enveloped and beyond all hope of be-
Ing saved. The structure and ma
chinery were valued at $4,000, and
are a total loss. Twenty thousand
bushels OF wheat was partly consumed
and nearly all of 1t was damaged to
such an extent that 1t is unfit for any

SHORTAGE OVER WORLD

BUSHELS AS COMPARED
WITH LAST YEAR.

Chicago. - Dollar Wheat :" For
years this has been the cry of the
farmer. He has thought that If this
could be realized he would be happy
and prosperous and all would be well
with the country.
Today the farmer is selling his
wheat for a dollar bushel or more.
1t doesn't have to be very good
wheat at that to bring the long-cov-
eted price at the barn door In North
Dakota. Kansas or Nebraska
The farmer has not as much wheat
TO sell as in some previous years, but
he is getting larger aggregate sum
for his crop than ever before.
But this is only the bright side of
the picture. To the consumer the
prospect of dollar wheat is not so
rosy. But IL that were all. the out
look might not be 30 black.
Looking into the future a little, he
can by exercising his imagination but
slightly see wheat at $1.50 or even 50,
flour at $40 q barrel and bread at 10
cents a loaf.
And he can see no relief by turning
to other cereals, for corn and oats,
uouahy lccu lOI StoCh, are
bringing almost unheard-of prices and
the whole world is scrambling for the
supply.
The seriousness of the situation
from the consumers point of view is
shown by the action of the Chicago
market.
Friday, owing to the stock market
tangle in New York and the resultant
uncertainty. the prices of wheat went
down about 2 cents a bushel.
On this slight break from the usu-
ally high level, foreigners rushed in
and bought every bushel of grain and
barrel of -four offered for sale, the
export business being the largest ever
recorded for a single day.
The result was that wheat has
gained twice as much here yesterday
as 1t had lost the day before.
The anxiety of the foreigners to buy
on every break shows that they must
have wheat regardless of price.
The fact is that there is shortage
of wheat all over the world.
The Russian crop is 100000 bush
els smaller than last year, and this
was the cause of famine over large
part of the Russian Empire last year.
