welcome of the best:

You'll speak for us to hear?
Oh bring you good or bring you Ill.

And not on threshold Of your reign,
Are they to be revealed.
Yet will you not, to human will
A plant friend appear,
And let us shape some part Of You,
Oh promising New Year7

The highest ranking officer OF

Admiral George Dewey. He holds
his active rank for life. He is long
past the general retiring age which
is fixed for the navy at sixty-two
years, but an act creating him full
admiral carried with it the delegat-

list as long as he should choose.
Dewey is still in active service.

has been no full general OF the

LARGE PRODUCTION OF LIME. Nearly Three and a Half Million Tons, According to United States
 Geological Survey.

One of our practically inexhaustib1e natural resources is lime The avail able limestone rock widely distributed over the United States can not be es- timated even in millions or billions of tons. It is a fact also that the more lime is thrown y"-scattered over the ground-the better it is for the country. Lime is a great soil renova- tor, and while it is believed to have no actual fertilizing value in the sense of being in itself plant food, it is la well-known fact, not only among farmers, but among soil scientists, that spreading it upon the fieelds and blowing it under makes many soils more productive by rendering avail able the plant food they already con- tain. Lime has also a great varie-, ty of other highly important uses; in fact, few mineral products have so wide a scope of usefulness
 A little more than half the lime manufactured in the United States is used as structural material-in lime mortars. Portland cement mortars, concrete, gypsum, plasters and white wash. Large quantities are also us- ed in the manufacture of chemicals, in clarifying many products, in the milling and paper industries, in sani- tation, in the s1nelting and timing industries, in sugar-beet, manufac- lure, etc.
 The total production of lime in 1910. according to figures compiled by Ernest F. Burchard and just giv- en out by the United States Geologi-i cal Survey, was 3,469,416 short tons, valued at $1S,S09,2sO, a slight de- crease in both tonnage and value as compared with the figures for 1909. The average price per ton in 1910. was $3.9S.
 The five leading States in the 1910 production are as follows:

ALUMINIUM IN WIDE USE Last Year, 47,734,OOO Pounds Used Most Abundant of All Metals

Washington, October 11-From brooches to skyschrapers, the use of aluminium, or aluminium, as it is popu- larly known, is rapidly extending, ac- cordlng to a report on the advance of the aluminium industries, made by the United States Geological Surevy. The utilities of aluminium seem almost end less. according to the report It is already certain that it can be used for structural material, as it has been demonstrated that it is highly resis- tant to chemical action It can be readily machineds and rolled and drwan into wire. also.
 Already nations are beginning to be worried about the supply of iron ore and this fact makes the advance of all minimum take on a tremendous import ance. Back of the Franco German trouble over Morocco, for example, is said to lie, among other things, the fact that Morocco has vast supplies of iron ore which Germany needs and covets.
 Not over generation ago, aluminium was little more than a curiosity, prin- cipally because of it's low specific grav- ity. It was worth $15 a pound or more, and it's total production in the United States was less than 100 pounds a year, notwithstanding the fact that aluminium is the most abundant of all the. metals in the earth's crust of which aluminium oxide forms about 15 per cent
 The consumption of aluminium in the United States for 1910 was 47,734, ,00d pounds. with total value of nearly d2, ,000, 900. The price, it is thus seen, has dropped from about 9 cents pound Or one and one half cents an ounce. The supply according to the Geological Survey exeprts, is practical ly unlimited, only awaiting a cheap prowess of extraction. It is at present produced only from bauzite, com paratively scrace mineral

They contended that under the terms of tn earmy appropriation bill provid- ing flor transportation of army of ficers' they were entitled to reim bursement. Comptroller Tracewell ruled that the act does not apply to officers abroad and that therefore these officers must pay their own car- riage bills.
