Writes Former Governor AIIin His
Unqualified Approval Of Course Of
McCumber and Hanna

Former Governor Allin, now
entirely out of the political game,
but a close student of things po-
litical, has been cycling the battles
between the Stalwart republicans
and Insurgents. As a farmer he
takes a keen interest in all things
pertaining to the welfare Of the
farming class, the backbone of
the nation, and the tariff question
has been particularly interesting
to him. In an open letter to the
Fargo Forum he says:
''When Mckinley, the greatest
tariff advocate Of the .ntury, was
nominated for president on the
republican ticket, partial re-
turn of confidence was noticed.
His election and subsequent pas.
sage Of the Dingley tariff bill fol-
lowed. This bill, denounced by
the democrats and mugwumps,
greatly added to the confidence of
the business men in the future
prosperity of the nation. Fac.
tories were opened. Operations
were extended. Our exports
increased. From being a debtor
nation we became a creditor ma
tion. and with the exception of
the 1907 furry, or panic it was
called, which was only local in
character, unparalleled prosperity
has been the lot of the people of
the United States.
Taking this little furry as in
dicative of an opening. a few dis
gruntled politicians tried to lead
fray into the ranks of the repub-
lican party, and through some
means a following was gained.
This following began the cry Of
the revision Of the tariff. Sew
eral Of the republican senators and
representatives, apparently egged
on by the democrats, took up the
cry of tariff revision downward,
and openly through the press be.
gan an attack upon the regular
representatives and senators.
This ATTACK, amplified until.
from the yellow press, one would
believe that the majority of the
representatives and senators who
passed the Payne-Aldrich tariff
bill had sold out to what the so.

In conversation with an expert

hatchery, we learn that Conejos
county is not getting her share

that the Conejos river is an ideal
trout stream and should be stock
ed with from two to three mil
lion trout fry every year. His
theory is that there is an abund-
ancc of natural feed for that
number of fish in the stream,
and, therefore, it should be stock
ed up to its capacity. He claims
that the required number of fry
could be obtained if number of
persons would take enough in

 IL is marvellous. indeed. that mere man has become able to produce and handle such degrees of heat and the difficulties of securing vessels that can resist such primeVal heat conditions have been many. The intense heat re uuired to mold articles from pure quartz is obtained by using furnaces fired by electric resistance; that Is. furnaces heated by high electric cur rents that are interrupted by the car bon, from which an electrical resistance furnace must be made
 Quartz can also be melted by the di- rect heat Of the electric arc, but it be- . comes too much contaminated by the particles that fly into it from the burn ing ends of the arc. The method in the electric resistance furnace is to permit the outer surface Of the quartz to form combination with the inner carbon of the furnace and to use the part inside of this outer contaminated crust.
 The material used is pure silver sand that is 99.5O per cent silica, or quartz. This sand is placed in the electric furnace and when about 1000 degrees Centrigrade have been pro duced the quartz sand becomes plastic like very warm putty. Ii can now be made into narrow tubes as much as sixty five feet in length and as much as siXty-five pounds of the molten quartz has been handled at a time al

FASTING FEATHERS.

Those of us who have hats trimmed with the bird wings consisting of in numerable little feathers something
 ike fishes scales know how these drop off and what an unpleaSantly bald appearance they give to our pest hat trimmings. One woman has solved the problem by pasting them 0n as they come off. They were black !n her case, and, so that the paste she used should not show. she pasted them on the back with library paste nn which she dropped black ink and let it soak in. This same plan can be followed with any color ink to match the feather, even the iridescent feathers Gas these often are) being usually easy to match.
 Another plan is to use court plas- ter. although this is possible only with black and white feathers The plaster must he cut in little strips and fastened in back to the cloth founda ton, for feathers of this sort are always what is called made" that is. stitched on to d backing of fabric in wing form.

PURE QUARTZ REPORTS.
Chemists Solve the Problem of Resist
 snce in Extreme Heat.

For many years chemists have sought diligently for some method of secur- ing retOrtS, test tubes. small furnaces, etc. that could be depended on to re- sist the extreme limits of any tempera- ture that human ingenuity can pro duce This is now said to have been acquired in a new method whereby ar ticles for the laboratory have been manufactured out Of pure quartz.
 Moreover, at Wallsend. England. and al Beuel, near Bonn. in Germany. elec- tric means have been perfected where bv furnaces and all other articles for laboratory purposes can be prepared from pure quartz. It is even claimed that in a short while furnaces can be made for manufacturing plants reqUir- ing extraordinary high temperatures.
 By high temperatures are meant de grees of heat far, far above the melt ing point of iron or even of platinum. Degrees of temperature, for instance. approaching 1000 degrees Centigrade- equivalent tO approximately $500 de- gTees Fahrenheit. Quite naturally it IS only in very few practical operations that any manufacturer demands such a temperature which is not very far be- iCw the point at which this world would be resolved once more into q

 One great difficulty is the fact that molten quartz turns into gas whei heated just a trifle above it's melting point. However, all these Chemica and practical obstacles have been over come now and many first-class labo- ratories are beginning to acquire these snow white utensils that can resist more heat than any other material.
