The influence of thc addition of small proportions Of vanaaium Co steel is twO-fold; it acts as sCav- onEer, removing oxides, nitrides. etc, !R a form easily carried away to the slag. and il also toughens the steel directly, by it's solid solution under normal conditions, in the car bonleSs portion. known as fcrrite In addition it forms complex car bides of such nature as greatly 10 strengthen the steel statiCally.
 The result is a product so vastly superior to the ordinary carbon steel as to render it practically new material of construction. especially for situations in which shocks must be met and resisted. The Combin- ation of high strength and great toughness makes it the material above all others for automobile parts as well as for railway axles and engine frames, for springs, fir the important parts of vessels and for bridges and similar structures.
 For the latest types of engineer ing work. such as flying machines submarines, torpedoes and similar work the possession of a material Cf high resistance to stresses of all kinds enables some of the most difficult clements of the work 10 be solved.
 While the application of yanadium to steel constitutes at present its most important use. it has also a marked influence upon east iron and upon copper, and while its use has not yet been developed so far in these directions, there is every req son to believe that these applica- tions will follOw.-Cassier's Maga-

LA F0LLETTE'S NEW SCHEME
Proposes to Select Delegates 10 Ma tionaI Convention at Primaries.

VI | N-'- ''tliir -N statement bearing the signatures ot Robert NJ La Toilette of Wisconsin and other Republican insurgcLt sen ators expressing approval of the plan of selecting dele gates 10 Republican national conventions by primary elections will soon be issued. AC- cording to friends of Senator La Toilette the statement proposing such a reform will be followed by the publication of platform of principles" setting forth in precise terms the attitude of the progress sives toward national legislation
 Senator La Toilette is the leading spirit behind this latest insurgCnt movement. Just how far Senator Cummins of Iowa and others identi- fled with the insurgent cause will go with him in pushing it is unccr tain at present The question has been discussed at a number of con ferences held here in the last week Details are now under consideration and the prosressives expected for mally tO disclose their plans in the near future.
 In advocating that delegates to na- tional conventions be named at pri- mary elections Senator La Toilette it is understood, is prompted partly by feeling of hostility toward the Taft administration. Senator La Toilette will be a candidate fer the Republican presidential nomination in 1912. If he fails to secure the honor himself he will bend every energy to defeat the renOmination of President Taft. According to a state ment made by an insurgent today, the statement bearing on the cleo tion of delegates to national con. yentions will propose the substitu- tion of the primary system for con ventions on the ground that such reform would in the future pre-, vent any administration from pack ing a convention with federal office holders, as has been done on Oc. casiOn in the past.
 Insurgents who have taken part in the conferences called by Sena tor La Toilette declined today to comment on them. They admitted that they were brewing something that will set heavily on the stOm- achs of the regular Republicans.

ABOUT "CRIMINAL MATCHES"
A Single One of the Friction Varie-
 ty Caused $3Oo,O00 Fire.

Among the many inCendiaries de strOying the property of the Amer ican nation" says Louis s. Anon son in Insurance Engineering, 'nOne is more active than the criminal friction match. In Harrisburg, Pa, short time ago. friction match dropped on the floor of the cellar was stepped upon and resulted in a property loss of nearly S3O0,O0O
 Had this been a safety match instead of the criminal match no fire would have occurred In many up-to-date European countries the criminal match which ignites on anything is Outlawed and safety matches are requiring to be used exclusively.
 such q law In each of the states of the union would save to the pub lie and to the insurance companies millions of dollars annually. Three hundred thousand dollars is a high price to pay fer one match. and friction matches are purchased every day in the year on that basis.
 The property loss resulting from the criminal match unfortunately is only a small part of the damage done. Thousands of lives are lost; q whole army has been burned to death from the use of friction matches. Women with their fimsy gowns are often the victims of matches that ignite from being stepped on. The universal use of safty matches would save thous- ands of lives and millions of dol lars worth of property.
 Safety matches cannot be gnit- ed by rats or mice. by being step ped on, by packages or boxes fall ing on the floor or by any one of he numerous ways in which 'crim- inal matches at present destroy life and property. If every public spir- tied citizen, including agents, mana gers, insurance commissioners and the press, would enlist In this cause it would mean increased safety for life and property The criminal match should be legislated out of existence in every state of the uniOn."

AIRSHIPS WILL POLICE SKY
Greatest Utility Will Be Found in
 War, Declares Hudson Maxim.

NEW YORK, Feb. i - Discussing the practical utility of flying ma chimes, Hudson Maxim, before an audience in the American Museum of Natural History, here recently, announced his belief that In the event of war this country would find the aeroplane its strongest arm of defense
 "The flying machine has come" said MT Maxim. and what are we going to do with it? There are three fields open for aviation-sport, war and commercialism.
 Now, there are two ways to pre- pare for war. One is to prepare for it amply. with Notifications, war ships and aeroplanes, and the other Is to talk about disarmament and peace at any price.
 There are two ways to prevent war. One is to turn the other cheek and the other is to be so prepared that there is no need for hitting back. But the preparation for war is the cheapest kind of insurance
 "It is my belief that the greatest utility of the flying machine is for war. In the next great war, avia- tion is going to take war into the third dimension, and we'll have the whole cubic contents of the celes- tial domain to protect.
 Victory in the future will de- pend on the policing of the sky
 There will be but one way of meeting aviation, and that is by aviation. We must meet the flying machine with flying machines. In the event of war it will be our strongest arm"

 HARDSHIP
CONDITION NEVER HEARD OF BEFORE - IS VERY HARD
 ON ESkINOS

UOQUiAM. Feb. I - Perhaps the strauge~t bit of news to be received this year from the Northland comes firm Fay k Shaver, local superin- ;erGcnr of reindeer for the govern mont at Wainwright 9o miles from Po!u, Barrow. Alaska In this letter which was received by friends here today. Mir Shaver says that al though the winter iS intensely cold the Arctic. as far as the eye can reach. k abs lujeiy free from ice, except for narrow fringe of foe ice along ,le beach
 A far back as Eskimo tradition runs such a thing has never hap penet before The letter was dated early in November and has been on the way ever since. But months bef0Te that apparently early date and even as carly as August 10 ice pack is usually crowding down upon the American continent. At Vain wright il has never been out of sight. in fact, for more than a week in any one year. And there are always detached ice cakes float ing in the sea But this year even the detached ice cakes are swept from sight
 To those familiar with northern waters it is well known that every summer a warm current enters the Arctic by way of Boring strait and moves slowly north and east along shore T. is upon this current that whalers and traders depend for the opening up of the narrow lane between the pack ice and the shore through which they pass in to the mouth of the Mackenzie and to the whaling grounds off Banks Land. Of Cape LisbOurne this current may be easily discerncd in the latter part of July like great river f fog as it moves along through the frigid northern waters.
 Within few weeks and some times even within a few days the current has either ceased or has lost i-S heat and power. and the iCn pack comes CroWdinG In again, often to the despair of seamen. This year. however. the current has con tinUe1 long months beyond it's natu- ral life.
 To those unfamiliar with the Arctic life it may seem strange that this warm current is working a real hardship 10 the natives But such is not the case For out upon the face of the cid pack ice that never melts and that Heats about in the uneX- plored circum-polar vastness there are seals and polar bears by the thousands. and it is upon these that the Eskimos depend for their winter food.
 Except fer the limited stores which they have in their ice cellars from former catches. they are destitute and were il not for the foresight of the government in providing rein deer herds many would undoubtedly perish
 The few white men and women that winter in this desolate ice world will not be in any danger as they are always provided with ample stores of provisions for any emergency Aside from the few white men stationed there to look after the government reindeer and to care for the natives, there are only dozen or SO shore whalers above the Arctic circle this year

OVER THE
 BRINK
TWO RESIDENTS OF KUSkO kWlM COUNTRY COME VERY
 NEAR TO DEATH.

IDITAROD, Jan 22 He was standing beside the burned ruins of his cabin, his grubstake gone, every thing he possessed but the clothes he had on and the gun he carried in his hands, evaporated into thin air through the medium of smoke.
 It was in the dead of winter, far up on the headwaters of tribu- tary of the Kuskokwim, days away from the nearest human habitation He is a Frenchman, to fame un- known and to glory unsung, for he was just prospecting up there and had left his cabin that morning to peck away at quartz ledge he had found a few miles away
 Mildly speaking, he was up against it when he came out of the timber and saw only the last lingering whisps of smoke that marked the passing of his weapons against Old Man Winter and the gripping cold of the North, and he knew 1t.
 He did not tarry long. Hastily he raked over the charred remains and found a few handful of burned bsans-that was all.

FLAT GREEK DEAL
 HUNDRED
NO LESS THAN PURCHASE OF THE WHOLE CREEK gY
 OUTSIDE CAPITAL

IDITAROD CITY, Jan. 29.--Od. of the haze of rumor and conjecture that has hung over this camp for the last several months there now appears the ghostly form of gi- gantic deal on Flat creek which means no more nor less than the purchase of the entire creek by a big syndicate of Outside capital The deal is pending and in the mak- ing, but whether or not it will ever materialize, no one can say.
 Flat creek is the banner creek of the camp and holds some very rich ground It is also supposed to car ry pay from the head to the foot a distance of four and half miles. It is shallow, and it is wet and doubtless long after the scrap CTS have ceased to gouge the mud dy gravels huge dredges will tear at it's wonderful pay channel On these things the promoters of the deal are working, the men who were identi fled with the first high finance on the creek.
 Quietly and as unobtrusively as possible they have been making a secret survey or the cTeek, Tn an attempt to line up all the pay ground. In fact, 1t is reported that a line has been run the entire length of the creek, and that an exhaustive report on it's possibili- ties and conditions is in the making The matter has been discussed quietly by those who have gained an inkling of the real intentions, and much speculation has been indulg ed in concerning the ultimate sue cess of the undertaking. Men fam iliar with the creek declare that so big a deal can never be pulled off here. Flat creek could not be bought for five million dollars cash, even if they promised to pay more after ward. Interests are scattered and optimism prevails-nobody being anxious to sell. Flat creek may be purchased some day, but 1t will hardly be knocked down this year.
