NO MORE COLLECTIONS.
Custom Has Been Discontinued by
Rockefeller Bible Glass.

New York, Jan. 12.-Hereafter there
will be no collection taken in the
Rockefeller Bible class in the Fifth
Avenue Baptist church.
This course was decided upon by
unanimous vote of the executive COM
mittee of which John D. Rockefeller,
Jr., is a member. According to the
committee it does not make a good
impression to take up collections in the
class, especially when strangers are
present. The expenses of the class will
be met by annual subscription collected
privately from the 400 members.

stain the paper. Iron is harm
full in water used for steaming,
for it is in equilibrium with acids
which inside the boiler become
dissociated, with the result that
the free acids corrode the, boiler
plates; but the amount of iron
carried in solution by most water
is so small that the damage it
does to steam boilers generally
amounts to little. Waters hav-
ing high iron content have in
some places caused an immense
amount Of trouble and expense
when used as city supplies, for
they favor the growth of creno-

Gilbert Always Remembered.

This Gilbert story reaches me from
an old Harrovian, says a writer in the
Manchester Guardian. In 1872 the peo-
pie Of the town got up theatricals to
raise funds for a hospital. DR.. Butler.
the head master, said he would not
allow the school to go unless the pieces
were first submitted to him. One was
Gilbert's "Palace Of Truth In 1t is a
passage in which the hero says to the
heroine. meet me at g. o'clock tonight
outside the garden gate" DR.. Butler
vetoed this and substituted. Meet me
at 3 O'Clock this afternoon" This
seemed to him more decorous. Some
years after Gilbert was invited to the
Harrow speeches. In reply to the toast
of his health he said. II am very much
interested In visiting Harrow. for as
far as 1 know it is the only place in
the world where. a line of mine has
ever been condemned as improper"
Great Consideration prevailed-all the
greater because no one except Nthe
speaker and one other person, who was
just leaving Harrow in'.1S72. knew
what he meant. 1t was-not Gilbert's
way to forget these things.

Iron in Water.

A half part per million of iron
in water is detachable by taste
and more than four or five parts
make a water unpalatable. In
some mineral springs iron is the
constituent which imparts me-
dicinal value to the water, but
ordinarily it is undesirable. More
than 2.5 parts per million in
water used for laundering makes
a stain on clothes. Iron must be
removed from water from which
ice is made or a cloudy, discolor-
ed product will result. An iron
content of over two or three

Homesteading on National
Forests.

Settlers on National Forests
under the act of June II, 1906,
will no longer have to pay for a
survey, as they have had to
on unsurveyed lands, when
the claim goes to patent. This
relieves many settlers under the
act, commonly known as the
Forest Homestead Law, from a
burdensome expense. Relief
from this burden has been
brought about by an agreement
between the Secretary of The In
terror and the Secretary of Agri-
culture, whereby surveys made
by employees of the forest service
will be under the supervision of
the surveyor general so that they
can be accepted by the general
land Office as final. -.
Hitherto it has been necessary
to make two surveys. Under
the terms of the Forest Home
stead Law, National Forest land
can not be opened to settlement
unless the secretary of agricul.
ture has recommended to-. the
secretary of the interior that il
be listed for settlement; and list.
ing is not possible until a survey
has been made. The secretary
of agriculture has no authority
to list any land unless an eXami

Bars Along River Very
Productive.
QUALITY IS NOT SURPASSED
Market Only Drawback at
Present Time.

:, Ranches on the bars along the
Salmon river, south of Dixie,
this year are in a very prosper
GUS condition. The ranchers
have all raised a good crop, and
the quality is said to be superior
to former years. The renewed
activity of placers along the
river, have stimulated the mar
ket, and the fact that the rail-
road is becoming active again
has increased interest in this
section of the country.
In a conversation with Ed. F.
Nassau, of Spokane, who has
placer interests on the river, and
who has had a wide experience
in the fruit raising sections of
Oregon and Central Washington,
he stated that he had heard of
the Salmon river fruit but was
not prepared to see anything like
the quality that is being raised
there at present.
Mr.. Massam said that the pears
raised on the river are equal to
the best raised in Southern Ore
gon, and the possibilities of all
other fruit is excellent. What
impressed Mr.. Nassau most was
the fact that all the bars are at
the mouth of a small creek,
which furnishes plenty of water
for irrigation, and WHICH gives
the owners of the bar a perpetual
and free water right. The eli
mate is not surpassed in any
country in the west, and the only
draw back has been a market,
which the building of the railroad
would solve, as the ranchel
would have an outlet east OF
west. =. f.
]. R. Painter, manager of the
Salmon. River Placer mines, who
is at the Eakingplace on the river
reports the fruit crop to be the
largest and finest this year tha
has ever been raised on the bar
Mr.. Churchill has an excellen
garden and his fruit is of
superior quality. Several other
have good bars and allsdoins
we'll. There are great possibili
ties for fruit raisers along thu
river, and it is quite probable
that several parties will locat'
there in the spring.

Bismuth is not commonly found
occurring in the native state,
but, sometimes the brittle silver
white mineral with a reddish
tinge is found disseminated
through the gangue in branching
lines, or in grains and Jumps.
The most famous locality for
native bismuth is Schneebreg,
in Saxony.
A very hard putty is made by
mixing a handful of burned lime
with 120 grams of linseed oil,
boiling it to the usual consistence
of putty and allowing the plastic
mass to spread out in a thin
layer and dry in a place where it
is not reached by the suns rays.
When required for use it is made
plastic by holding over a lamp;
on cooling it regains it's previous
hardness.
Gold is sometimes very fine
and is difficult to save by hyd-
raulic methods. Many years ago
a cleanup of an undercurrent of
the Spring Valley Co. at Chero-.
kee in Butte county, California,
yielded $2600; this gold has been.
.saved from material which had
run through 2 1-2 miles of sluices
and over 10 undercurrents before
being caught in the twentieth.
Even then Chinese were at work
upon the failing.
Cupels are ordinarily made of
sieved bone-ash purchased from
supply, houses. The quality of
this can usually be depended
| upon, but sometimes it may be
too fine or too coarse, giving
cupels that are likely to crack,
in the first case, or too porous in
the second. This may be remed-
} led by mixing fine and coarse
together, or by decreasing the
pressure when working with fine
material and increasing it for
coarse. For ordinary work it is
not necessary to mix any binder
with the bone-ash, though any
mucilaginous substance will make
a stronger cupel. When such
binders are used the cupel should
be left in the muffie long enough
. to burn them off completely be-
fore adding the lead button, so
the escaping gases will not inter-
fere with the cupellation.
