It is used in the making of fine steel, and gives 1t toughness and tensile strength which make tltanium steel widely noted. Zironium also has a place in the world of usefulness in spite of it's great value, which is s1oio per pound. It forms a white powder or amorphous Jumps, and has both basic and acid prop critics. It possesses the property of being extremely refractory toward heat, not being changed even by the flames of the oxy-hydrogen blowpipes. It grows with an intense white light when made in the shape of cone and played upon by such a flames This property makes 1t useful where fine light is essential and 1t is used great deal in lighthouses and light ships
 Ocmium is one of the noble metals. and is the least fusible of them all, the oxy- hydrogen jet volatizlng but no fusing 1t.
 When heated to degrees above the boil
 ing point of water, it gives off a very irritating and irrespirable vapor, and hence derived it's name from the Greek
 word osme, meaning odor. AS an alloy
 with iridium, ismium Is used widely as
 substance for tipping gold pens, and
 1t is in this form that man can carry around day after day a metal worth more than three times it's weight in gold.
 Next on the scale of metals in point of value is uranium. It would require $9S0 worth of good American gold to buy a pound of it. A compound of this metal is used extensively in glass and china painting, and in the manufacture of the beautiful huorescent uranium glass. It is from the residue in the gathering of uranium that radium is refined Palladium is valued at s560 per pound. It has been applied in a few cases to the construc- ton of graduated scales for asthronimi- cal instruments, for which its white ness, hardness, and unalterability in the air peculiarly adapt 1t. It's scarcity how ever prevents its general use for this purpose It Is chiefly obtained from the alloy which it forms with gold in cer- tain mines in Brazil. The value of tel lurium Is S490 per pound. When it was
 discovered. in experimenting with it's
 salts it was found that even when ad- ministered to a helathy person in the small dose of one-quarter of a grain it would impart to the breath and prespira- ton disgusting odor, making the ob- feet of the test a nuisance to every one he approached Telurium is found in considerable quantities in Boulder county Colorado.

The citizens used to use the water for drinking purposes and it was used to make mortar in the building of the first brick house Tn the city. It was in the middle Of a corn field and was surrounded by marsh and rocks.
 One of the first sermons ever preached in Birmingham was in front of what Is known as the sam ". Torry.s corner at Nineteenth street and Second avenue. The preacher was secured by Capt. James R. Powell and a large audience was Ia al- tendance.

North Pole Is Shiftinu.

Victoria. B. C.. March 2S.-That the north pole is shifting and that the eli mate is changing, making the northern territories of this continent warmer and northern Asia colder is the theory to support which Moses B. Colworth of York, England. has been gathering evidence in Alaska, from whence he has returned on his way to England. A curious effect of this change, it is said. may be a number of boundary difficulties between Canada and thu United States, especially in the east ern portion. The boundary is fixed by latitude, and if the north pole is really moving the latitude changes.

STANDARD office last week and COM
planned that the officials whose place il
is to point out to the Indians the piec
of ground allotted to each in lieu OF
their surrender of the Saltwater reser-

plain duty. Cushman Joe says that the
indians are unable to find their allot-
msnts from the instructions given, ant
they want some one in authority I.

vidual Indian, as each has a number
and the allotments are numbered, but
n their ignorance they are unable to
pick them out. Their request is fan
and should receive prompt action at the
nands of the proper official.
Cushman Joe says that he knows his
iand and has already planted three
acres of alfalfa and sowed 100 pounds
Of wheat. He would put in some pota-
toes, but lacks the means to procure
the seed.
Other Indians, he says, who have To-

A Growing Institution.

A special meeting of the stockholders
of the Churchill County Bank has been
called to take place in the Directors
room of the bank on the 7th of July,
for the purpose of increasing the paid
up capital stock of the bank from $50,
900 to S100, 900. This institution is now
on soundsr footing than at any time
in its existance, having on hand fully
75e6 of its deposits in hard cash. Ii
was originally capitalized at s25, 900,
but about about three months ago the
capital was increased to $50, fully
paid, and now it is proposed to further
strengthen the concern by doubling the
capital stock and putting up every dol
lar of it. This will make the Churchill
County Bank one of the strongest
banking houses in the State.
