ing material. AS lead and iron do not
mix in a molten state an intimate
mixture of the powdered metals was
prepared either by precipitation dilute
lead solution with iron powder or by
grinding iron powder and "lead-tree"
crystals together, and the mixture was
heated to $50 deg. or 300 deg. c. and
stamped in molds. Various iron alloys

The products compare favorably in
mechanical qualities with the more ex-
pensve bearing metals of copper in
lead or tin, and can be readily pro-
duced. The stamped metals are re-
garded as true alloys, obtained with
out fusion. Similar products were OBJ
tanned by Friedrich by kneading, with
one or more Of the constituents in a
pasty condition, and these also are
pronounced genuine alloys.
Banana meal is among the food sup
plies that is rapidly extending in use.
It is made by drying and grinding the
unripe fruit, and the meal has a
chemical composition very different
from that of the ripe fruit. When
well ripened, the fruit contains 70 per
cent of sugars and only l to 2 per
cent of starch, while the meal has
nearly 80 per cent of starch and only 3
or per cent of sugars. A special
banana cocoa" is manufactured in
Switzerland, and is claimed to have a
fine aroma and high nutritive value.
Several analysis have shown that
Jamaica banana meal contains 12.77
per cent of water; 2. As, ash; 4.69,
protein; 0.75, nitrogen; rs. 80, non

SPECIAL PRAYERS
FOR THE EDITOR
Evangelist Said All Third Rate Ed
itors Were Hard Bunch
and Need Saving.

YATES CITY, H., July 15.-Friends
OF A. H. McKe1gan are deeply stirred
over the attack made on him by
Evangelist Wo"den in his prayer. Mr..
Mckeigan is editor of the Yates C3y
Banner and man who has always
stood for what he believed to be right
here. He is known as a fearless adj
yocate of temperance and the moral
causes and through his personal in.
fuence and paper has helped keep
Yates City clean and wholesome
town. Among other things in his
prayer, the evangelist said.
Lord, save the editor Of the Yates
City Banner, yes Lord, and all third
rate editors. They are hard bunch.
We pray that thou wilt remove the
cobwebs from their brains, the toads
from their spiritual eyes, the wrig-
Cling, Kissing serpents from their
spirits, the puss from their hearts,
and the vilenes from their lips
This and other extreme expressions
have called forth sympathy for r.
McKeigan, and many here feel that
the evangelist was too severe and
should tolerate kindly differences OF
opinion
