A Spark-Makln Alloy.

When 10 per cent of cerium Is al
loyed with 80 per cent. of iron. the
metal thus produced possesses the re-
markable property Of giving off a
shower of sparks when struck lightly
by steel wheel. This substance has
been employed for making auto-ignit-
ers for gas-burners, miners acety-
lene-lamps and cigar lighters. Re-
Gently 1t has been proposed to utilize
II for igniting motor headlights, and
even as a substitute for electric igni-
tion in the cylinders. Doctor Brill has
tried It, for the last-named purpose.
but he finds that the efficacy OF the al
10y falls of with use. The cause Of
this loss of efficacy Is suspected to be
the presence of oil and dust.

EMPLOYING HOME LABOR.

EOiIor FL PaSO Herald.
Permit me to use the columns Of
your paper TO invite attention to a
little matter which, while it may ap-
pear to some people one of selfish
ness, yet is merely one Of right and a
square deal
If anyone will take the trouble to
watch the first dozen cars that come
over from Juarez of a morning 1t will
be observed that they are crowded
chiefly with Mexicans coming to work
in Ell Paso. These people earn their
money in FL PaSo and go back 10
Juarez that evening and every other
evening; and the money that is paid
out to them on this side of the river
practically all goes to the Juarez land
lord, the JuareZ grocer, the JuareZ bak-
er, the Juarez butcher, ETC., etc.
Given that there is no law by which
this can be prevented, is there not some
way by which the contractors, factories
and miscellaneous establishments en-
ploying MexicanS can be induced to en-
ploy only those persons who live on the
American side? There are q great many
small houses in Ell Paso vacant the
owners of which would no doubt be
very glad to get the money that is be-
ing paid into the Golfers of the Juarez
landlord every month; and the FL Paso
groceryman, the Ell Paso baker, the FL
PasO butcher and other Ell Paso mer-
chants would likewise appreciate the
additional trade

MExICO's PAUPER IMMIGRATION.

Editor FL PaSo Herald:
Organized labor of FL Paso would ap.
prec1ate the publica ton of the follow.
ing in your paper:
The pauper poems dumped by thou
sands yearly through the port of Juare.
upon the United States, will never dc
this country any good No man who
has the welfare of his country at hear
wants American workingmen degraded
to the Ignorant depths of peonage they
would reach to meet such competition
This is the main issue.
To this there is a side issue that af-
fects us locally. Last year more thar
fifteen thousand Mexican laborers were
shipped out through Ell Paso to all part:
or our country, in herds like so many
cattle Some of them had women and
children who followed them, not mar
ried but just living together the most
of them, like brutes of the field.
Probably ten per cent OF these drift
ed back to FL Paso and became com
petitors of home labor, working al
any old price, displacing not only our
home Mexican population, but also un-
dermining American born workmen and
lowering their standard of living.
These people are coarse, ignorant
with little conception OF family ties
such as American workingmen have,
when these poems are shipped out, often
times that is the last their women and
their children ever see or hear of them.
Then they begin to beg, the poor Mex
lean women and their children, tramp
ing around from one place to another,
hungry and homeless, crying for food
and shelter. The INDECENT sick are ship
ped in on us from every quarter OF
the globe and to top this, comes Mex
leo emptying her pauper hordes.
The pauper situation in Ell Paso is
the despair of all who have anything
to do with il. Little is the help that
we can give our own people, for the
fight is one of self preservation TO
keep from being devoured by the for
eign horde clamoring for relief.
AS an evidence TO substantiate the
facts herein set forth, go to the chart
ties headquarters at the courthouse,
talk with those who have charge of the
charities in this city and learn how
true this is. Here you will see daily
the poor Mexican women and children
that have been deserted, left destitute
and helpless on our hands, begging for
the bread that ought to go to our own
needy and worthy poor Mexican popu
lation.
Again, no one feels the effects of this
paUper immigration and cheap labor
competition any more than do the re-
tail merchants OF our city. 1t is the
sole cause of the stagnation in bust
ness, has more to do with merchants
not being able to collect their bills and
causes more vacant houses and lost ac-
counts than anything else, purely be-
cause our own home labor Is thrown
out OF work and is compelled to leave
the city seeking other fields to earn
a livelihood.
Help organized labor in its fight
against pauper immigration through
Juarez and you will help FL Paso. A
city overrun with destitute, will in time
gain a reputation for poverty apd dis
tress that will keep good people out
and react on the prosperity of the com
munity. H. NJ. Walker

subscriber to your paper has sent
Us one of DR.. PeterS's very interesting
Straight Talks" from your recent issue.
We take the liberty of calling your at
tention to Il fact which seems to have
escaped the Investigation OF DR.. Peters
into the conditions of the linen indus
try During the last two years mills
have been operating at North Brook
field, Mass, converting raw flax into
fabric in the space of "A hours by spe-
claI processes. They are making a very
superior grade of linen yarn out Of the
raw flax in few hours operation and
are weaving this yarn into goods that
have been introduced by the trade
throughout the country.
Ihis industry has grown rapidly from
an unpretentious beginning and is I'M
dcubtedly effecting revolution in
linen manufacture. The mills are
gradually equipping themselves for the
production OF the highest grade linens
We would be glad 10 have a paper as
influential as The FL Paso Herald
recognize the actually of the new lin

Guile of the British coronation oath.
NOW, dear editor, it is all very well for

american newspaper; such opinions are
laughed at by men who know.
Britain had an awful time of it dur
ing the reformation period, men and
women were tortured. burned at the
stake, drowned. etc, and all because
they advocated an open bible and
preached its living truths. Queen Vic
toria said that her nations strength Law
