Aluminium is Puzz1ing the Chemists

problem would not seem very difficult,
inasInuch as all clays contain large per-
centages of aluminium Every clay bank,
it might be said, is an aluminium mine.
But the difficulty lies in extracting it.
In bauxite the metal occurs in the form
of an oxid, and is easily separated out by
summoning electricity to the aid of
chemistry But in ordinary clays it
assumes the shape of silicate, and is
costly to extract. 1t remains, then, for
some ingenious chemist to devise a
process by which the silicate NAV be COM
PEELED to yield the metal cheaply. When
this has been accomplished, the problem
will be settled for all time
Deposits of bauxite are found overlaid
by surface soil to the depth of few feet,
which, being removed, discloses the ore
beneath; just as is the case with the Won
derful iron deposits of the Lake Superior
region, which are extended like a blanket !;
SO that, when the overburden has been
taken away, stuff that is sixty per cent
or more pure metallic iron can be dug
out with shovels.
Evening star., 1908-01-19

>EROM what source will it be practicable
to obtain aluminum-already recog-
nized as one of the most indispensable OF
metals when the deposits of bauxite
give out! Early in its history the white
metal was extracted from cryolite, COM
plex ore brought all the way from Green
lands icy mountains. 1t was expensive
stuff, and aluminium sold for high price
in those days. Later it was discovered
that bauxite was a more convenient and
accessible source of supply.
Bauxite is a kind of clay, of which de-
posits have been found in Georgia, in
Alabama, and in Arkansas. The deposits
in Alabama and Georgia have already
been pretty well worked out. Those in
Arkansas, which are much more ex-
tensive, will last for quite awhile, but
must be exhausted before very long
What shall be done them
Bauxite is undeniably scarce. Other
deposits of it may be discovered; but ap-
parently, if aluminium is to remain at
low price, other sources of the metal must
be discovered. On the face of it, the

for furnishing certificate of each record,
and so on. Everybody had toll road
franchise, but no toll road But the
franchise had to be recorded and paid for.
Everybody was a mining corporation,
and had to have himself recorded and
pay for it. Very well, we prospered.
The record service paid an average of
thousand dollars month, in gold.
Governor Nye was often absent from
the Territory. He liked to run down to
San Francisco every little while and en-
Joy a rest from Territorial civilization
Nobody complained, for he was pro-
digiously popular. He had been a stage
driver in his early days in New York or
New England, and had acquired the
habit of remembering names and faces,
and of making himself agreeable to his
passengers. AS politician this had been
valuable to him, and he kept his arts in
good condition by practice. By the time
he had been Governor a year, he had
shaken hands with every human being in
the Territory of Nevada, and after that
he always knew these people instantly at
sight, and could call them by name. The
whole population, of twenty thousand
persons, were his personal friends, and
he could do anything he chose to do,
and count upon their being contented
with it.
Whenever he was absent from the Terri
tory-which was generally-Orion served
his Office in his place, as Acting Governor,
title which was soon and easily shortened
to Governor" He recklessly built and
furnished house at cost of twelve
thousand dollars; and there was no other
house in the sage brush capital that could
approach this property for style and cost.
When Governor Nye's four-year term
was drawing to close, the mystery of
why he had ever consented to leave the
great State of New York and help in
habit that jack rabbit desert was solved
he had gone out there in order to become
a United States Senator. All that was
now necessary was to turn the Territory
into State He did it without any diff
ficulty. That undeveloped country and
that sparse population were not well
fitted for the heavy burden of State
Government; but no matter, the people
were willing to have the change, and so
the Governors game was made.
Orion game was made too, apparently
for he was as popular because of his hon
esty as the Governor was for more sub
stantial reasons; but at the critical mo-
ment the Unborn capriciousness of his char
acter rose up without warning, and dis
aster followed.

o'clock in the morning. At that hour the
Governor was serene, genial, comfortable,
contented, happy, and sober, although
he was so full that he couldn't laugh with
out shedding champagne tears. Also, at
that hour the last joker joined his COM
rades under the table, drunk to the last
perfection. The Governor remarked:
This is dry place, Sam. Let's go
and get something to drink and 60 to
bed"
The Governors official menagerie had
been drawn from the humblest ranks of
his constituents at home harmless good
fellows who had helped in his campaigns,
and now they had their reward in petty
salaries payable in greenbacks that were
worth next to nothing Those boys had
a hard time to make both ends meet.
Orion's salary was eighteen hundred dol
lars year, and he couldn't even support
his dictionary on it. But the lr1shwoman
who had come out on the Governors S staff
charged the menagerie only ten dollars
week apiece for board and lodging. Orion

IT'S THE SAME OLD STORY.
WaShburn Defeated at Basketball by
*. U.-Score Is Close.

With her usual luck, the Washburn
basketball team was defeated last Sat
urday night in the game with Kansas
university, by the close score of 10 to
II. And like all of the other defeats
which the team has suffered this season
the game was snatched away from
them during the last few minutes OF
play after the score had been tied UP
by the Blue
The Jayhawkers secured a big lead
in the first half but as usual Washburn
came back in whirlwfnd fashion in the
second half and just two minutes be-
fore the half was over Washburn sue
ceeoed In ueing the score. Then Wood
chances for goals from free throw man
aged to drop the ball in the basket
both times, while Hope with the same
number of chances was unable to con-
meet with the basket.
The game furnished the Topeka au-
olence the first opportunity to witness
the game under the new intercollegiate
rules. The rules bring the game ur
to its advance notices as it certainly
adds to the roughness of the game but
at the same time makes the game move
faster and makes it more Interesting
to the spectators.
The Kansas guards starred for their
team. Seventeen of their 10 points were
scored by the guards who went down
the field while the forwards were call
ea back, making plays Of this kind
which mystifed the Washburn men
and which made great team work for
the Kansas men. Their team work
and the handling of the ball were much
superior to Washburn. Washburn
however, had the edge in throwing diff
f1cult baskets, the work of Hope and
Millice frequently drawing prolonged
applause.
The second half and especially the
last few moments of the second half
formed the climax of the game. Wash
burn came back with the score Of IL to
staring them in the face and after
some spectacular as well as difficult
goals from the field by Millice the score
became II to 16 in favor of the Jay
hawkers. A foul was called on K. U.
and Hope dropped the ball-square1y into
the basket without even as much as
grazing the sides. Woodward. however
threw two goals and Hope, although
he had a chance was unable to do more.
The crowd at the game was better
than most Of the crowds this season
but still was a long way from what
there should have been, especially to
see game of the interest Of the game OF
Saturday night.

whereas, We believe that the

that q longer adherence to party,
means a continuation of the injustice
imposed upon the people through the
present policy of protection and favor
itism to capitalistic interests and an
increase of the burdens already i'm
posed by the trusts and other illegal
combinations of capital. and that they
have determined to abandon party and
make a united effort to return the
government to the people, where it
belongs, and believing as they do, that
the maintenance of the principles pro-
mulgated in the immortal Declaration
OF Independence that governments
are Instituted among men deriving
their Just powers from the consent of
the governed is essential to the pre-
servation of our Republican institu-
tons, and realizing that this great
principle has been wholly disregarded
in granting special privileges, until
the people are governed by vast com
binations. and that money and not
men has been considered. That this
oppression has become so grievous
that the cries of the people have
reached to heaven. and that the ruler
of nations has heard their cry and
sent them a deliverer. We believe
that God raises up great men to lead
in the great crises, In mans progress
We believe that God raised up and
trained Moses to bring deliverance to
the children of Israel. that he raised
up and trained Washington to bring
deliverance and freedom to America,
that he raised up and trained Abra-
ham Lincoln to bring deliverance and
freedom to four million black slaves
and to cause chattel slavery to perish
from the earth, so we believe. that he
has raised up and trained William j.
Bryan to bring delfverance to this
people and to re-enthrone the great
principle of self-government Of the
immortal Declaration, and to place
man above money; therefore. be it
