LARGE DEMAND FOR vANApIuM
Metal Curiosity Ten Years Ago Now
Used by the Ton.

A few years ago the rare metal va
nadium was scarcely mentioned out
side of classes in chemistry now its
uses are so various that metallurgists
have spent much time in devising bet
ter and cheaper ways of extracting 1t
from its ores.
Probably its most important use is
as component of steel. TO which 1t
imparts a wonderful resistance. Va
nadium steel appears to owe its quail
tiles partly to the fact that vanadium
relieves the steel of it's oxygen and
nitrogen, which weakens 1t.
Besides this use, vanadium is used
to prepare indelible inks, in combina-
ton with tannin and alkalies; for the
oxidation of aniline in making aniline
black; to make sulphuric acid by the
oxidation of sulphurous acid and in the
manufacture of various metallic pig
ments.
1t also serves as coloring agent for
ceramics and glassware, is compon-
ent of newly discovered developer
used In photography and has been EN-
ployed in medicine for the treatment
of tuberculosis.
Between so and 70 tons yearly are
now used, and 1t is worth about 81 o
pound.

Italian REVENGE.

This is story of Italian revenge.
A vendor of plaster statuettes saw a
chance for sale in a well-dressed,
bibulous man who was lacking down
the street.
You buy-a de statuette?" he asked
alluringly holding out his choicest of
fering. "Gar-r-ri-baldi-I sell-a him
vera cheep. De gr-reat-a Gar-r-ri-
baldi-only thirta cents!"
"Oh. tel with Garibaldi," said the
bibulous one, making swipe with his
arm that sent Gariba1di crashing to
the sidewalk.
For moment the Italian regarded
the fragments. Then, his eyes flash
ing fire, he seized from his stock a
statuette of George Washington. You
t'ell-a with my Garr-ribaldi?" he
Missed between his teeth. so" He
raised the immortal George high above
his head and-crash! it flew into frag
ments alongside of the Inflated Carl
baldi 'Ha! / to bella wild your
George Wash! Ha, ha!"-Every

ABLE TO ENDURE MUCH COLD.
Some Microbes Are Killed only by
256 Degrees Below Zero.

The extremes OF heat and cold at
er range than would be expected. For
some animals the greatest heat that
can be endured is 105 degrees, while
life, as we commonly understand It,.
cannot endure beyond 1870 degrees, at
which temperature albumen coagu-
lates.
But there are certain forms OF life
that can stand much more heat. Some
mollusks are not incommoded until
100 degrees is reached, while the lar
vac of flies will endure 1876 degrees,
and certain kinds of worms are not
killed until temperature of ITS de-
grees is reached.
AS to cold, it might almost be said
that no cold is great enough to de-
stroy all traces of life; certainly no
natural cold is great enough; il is only
by the extreme cold produced by ar
tificial means that all life is ended.
For frogs the limit is Is below zero.

below, a greater cold than is produced
by nature.
But the greatest cold registers are
the bacteria. The germs of the plague
have kept their vitality for several
months in a temperature of "a below;
those of diphtheria have remained
alive after being immersed for an
hour in a refrigerating solution at 76
below.
The greatest cold sustained is by
the germs of tuberculosis, which are
not affected by 14S below, and sue
cumb only to cold represented by 256

Of railway employees who returned
Yesterday from Joseph were not very
fayorably impressed with the idea
of running the excursion to Joseph
because the picnic ground is five
miles from the end of the track
and that means long day with the
round trip OF 100 miles by rail.
There are some very fine camping
places along the Minam and there
some of the men wanted to go. They
recognized, however, the strong de-
sire of the Joseph people to have
the excursion come there and COM
promise was sought.
Last night the representatives of
the men met with ]. H. O'Neil, trav-
cling passenger agent, and it was
agreed to run a "split" excursion to
Minam and Joseph. The rate to Mi
nam is to be $3.50 and to Joseph
$3.50 for the round trip. The date
agreed on Is June 20,
1t Is planned to make long day
