Keep Your Grit

Hang on, cling on,
No matter what they say.
Push on, sing on,
Things will come your way.
Sitting down and winning
Never helps a bit.
Best way to get there is by
Keeping up your grit.
Don't give up hoping
When the ship goes down,
Grab a spar or something,
Just refuse to drown.
Don't think you're dying
Just because you're hit
Smile in face of danger,
And hang onto your'grit.
Folks die too easy
They sort of fade away,
Make a little error
And give up in dismay.
Kind of man that's needed
Is the man of ready wit
Who laughs at pain and trouble
And always keeps his grit.

ODD WAY TO SECURE COPPER
Tin Cans and Old Iron Junk Utilized
sl to Catch Valuable Metal Co
ing to Waste In Water.

'.'sE-ss A NeaSss
There are many kinds of mines and
numerous inventions for saving pre-
clous metals, but perhaps the strang.
est method ever devised came to light
in Butte, Mont.
When mines were discovered in
Butte, it was found that the water
contained in the assures was strongly
impregnated with copper, so much so,
indeed, that iron cages, cars and
tools, of all kinds were quickly de-
stroyed by the affinity of the copper
for the iron. .~ s .-..
Only few weeks immersion in the
water reduced a mass of iron to pulp,
a fact that made it necessary for all
material used in the mine and COM
posed Of iron or steel to be replaced
at frequent intervals
For a long time the water pumped
out OF the mine went, to waste, as no
method was known of extracting the
copper from it. After while. how
ever, discovery was made that was
utilized to good advantage.
Some tin cans found their wav into
the small stream. In a short time it
was noticed that they had ever an.
pearance of being made of pure COD
per, so thickly were they coated with
that metal. They were regarded as
cur1osities by all who saw them, but
presently one man saw further than
"cur1oslty'-he saw the use.
He began to experiment, and found
that old cans and iron junk thrown in
to the water were soon DESTROYED.
leaving in their stead a rich deposit
OF copper. He thought it would pay
to extract the copper from the water
by this process, and Immediately pur.
chased the exclusive right to the wa.
ter.
Then he put In series of reservoirs
and tanks along the little gully where
the water ran. These he filled with all
the old metal to be had, including bar
rel hoops. At the end of six months.
he found that the old junk was to-
tally destroyed, and in it's place was a
sedimentary deposit in the bottom of
the reservoirs and tanks which was
eighty per cent. copper.

upright in the wise are two triangular
sharpening steels held by thumb
screws. The knife is drawn back
and forth between the steels, thus be-
ing sharpened evenly on both sides at
once. The steels being triangular,
different edges may be brought into
use as others become dull, and it can
easily be seen that the life of the de-
vice at this rate will be a long one,
more especially as the sharpening pro-
cess wears down the knives rather
than the steels. Furthermore, when
the upper half of the steels is worn,
they may be turned end for end and a
new surface provided.
