than ever before, even though the cost
of mining has steadily increased.
From time to time the American fer
tilizer manufacturers have tried to COM
bine to advance and maintain prices and
to refuse to sell raw materials to farm
ers who wished to prepare their own
mixtures. Some of these attempts have
succeeded for a time, but ammoniates
and phosphates can be secured from so
many sources that new companies are
constantly entering the field. Potash
being derived from a single sourse is
easily controlled, but the Germans plan
of direct sales to everyone, in any guam
tity, at reasonable price serves to pre-
vent the manufacturers from forming
combinations in restraint of trade and for
the exploitation of the farmer and per-
mits the farmer to secure his fertilizer
materials at reasonable ~Ust
One of the demands o1 the American
fertilizer companies was: THAT the Ger
man potash syndicate shall undertake not
to do any direct business in the United
States" This demand was refused. Had
1t been granted the American fertilizer
companies could have readily recovered
Cat the expense of the American farmer)
the $12,000.00O that they were willing to
pay for compromise"
1t is hardly necessary to remark that
the American public is in no humor to
approve of an executive order for max
Imum rates on German imports as a re-
taliatory measure against a law that
places the people of all nations on an
equal footing, and prevents the fertilizer
companies from unduIy exploiting the
American farmer, who spends annually
more than $O0,OO0,Ooo for fertilizers.

JERUSALEM, Dec. 15.-Reports from

Temperatures and the Rare
Metals.

Within the last 200 years about fifty
metals have been discovered. Most Of
them, ii is true, have been looked up
on by the world as curiosities, and
they have been RELOCATED to the dusty
shelves Of chemical museums in tiny
little Viols, az concrete samples of tho
wonderful achievements Of modern
chemical research. Occasionally they
would be referred to by some writer
gifted with q vivid imagination. who
would call to mind their extreme rar-
ity and their fabulous value-but only
as chemical curiosities and nevcr as
substances ma would be of use {"
mankind. Then the little Walls would
he put back on the shelves, out Of
sight, out Of mind, until the public
again wished to hear the dreams Of
gallium. aluminium. germanium and
tungsten, and to estimate h II
would cost to make a pound of these
rarities.
With the advent OF the electric fur
mace and the use of temperatures
hitherto unheard of. these little walls
have been taken down from the dusty
shelves. one by one the rare metallic
oxides have been introduced to the
fearful heat of the flaming arc. and
reduced to the form of pure metals;
and these rare metals, now rare no
longer on cou of tho ~cheapncss

ore. are taking their places in the
sphere Of Industrial activity. The lit
