Titanium. which is usually regarded as one of the rarer clements, occurs in greater proportion than most of the commercial metal. but it must be re- membered that most rocks and most aluminous minerals contan titanium either as an accessory mineral or as an impurity. although true titanium mineral such as rutile. ilmenite, and the like. are comparatively rare. The proportion existing in the earth's ernst is, however, no criterion as to the amount of an element commercially available. Iron, for example, is pres ent in the crus- to the extent of over { 1-2 per cent. bnt the great bulk exists as in the case of titanium and alum mum, only in the rock-matter or in other forms no. available for use.

 ternal condition of boilers, but the true way to get the best results is not to side, but to remove all such impurities from the water before 1t enters the bol- Ter. The best way to keep the boiler allow mud and scale to accumulate in
 side, but to remove all impurities from the water before it entere the boiler. The best way to keep a boiler clean is to pUt only pure water into it.

(By Frank J. Graf, Member of Duluth
 Stock Exchange)
 While the volume of trading in the New York stock exchange today was less than yesterday, there was marked improvement in sentiment and as a result prices advanced one to two points. holding the advance well on the close Voluntary advancement of wages on the Pennsylvania and Readings ystems and adjustment of d f. ferences on other trunk Ines have proven a stimulous to investors. The promise of President Lewis of Labor Federation that the miners wage scale will be adjusted in a Iew days gives ground for hopes that most of the obstacles to a better condition in the speculative world are nearly re- moved. and higher range or values should be the result.
