OF VALUE TO THE SCIENTIST
Vessels Constructed Of Quartz Almost
Indispensable in the Chemical
Laboratory.

1t is not so long ago that the text
books on minerals used to describe
quartz as 'sinfusible." The electric
furnace has given the lie to this speci-
fication, and now some manufacturers
Of chemical devices devote special
catalogues to apparatus made Of this
substance. There are two grades on
the market-the transparent kind,
made from rock crystal and looking
almost precisely like ordinary glass,
and the cheaper translucent variety,
made OF common silica and sometimes
called in the trade "electroquartz,' Y
Both kinds are valuable In the chem
icaI laboratory, because vessels made
OF either resist all acids but hydro
fiuoricS and cannot be cracked by
change Of temperature, however VIC
lent. Quartz is useful also for Its
insulating properties, which are near
~ perfect.

BartlesvilIe, Okla, July 1S. IT The
police Of this city. and officers of the
county are working quietly but with
determination on one Of the most
brutal and as yet mysterious murders
the history of Oklahoma records, the
killing here during the night OF July
9, or early July 10, Of H. J. Deckard
of Lake Charles. La
The body was discovered late Sat
urday night 800 feet from public road
near the Dupont nitro-glycerin works,
between Bartlesville and Dewey. Deck
ard had been murdered far from the
spot where his body was found, and
all evidence that might lead to the
discovery OF his murderer had been
destroyed. The police believe the
deed was committed with hatchet
and the body was hauled in a cab to
the lonely spot in the woods.
Deckard was a man Of mystery;
nothing in particular was known Of
him until the day before the murder
when his wife, beautiful, young, and
possessor or a wardrobe which startl-
ed those who saw her at the theater
or in the restaurants. was arrested In
the Right Way hotel charged with
"fiim flamming" a couple OF oil pro-
ducers from the Hog Shooter field,
Deckard did not possess the best
sort of reputation, but the handsome
young fellow with his tall straight
figure, his Grecian face, his rich
'front.'" and his sporting procIivities,
has been a familiar figure on the
streets here during the current year
He was known in Tulsa, Nowata
and Pawhuslka. too, but none knew his
