Indeed, That is very pleasant"

SUPPLIES WORLDS TUNGSTEN.
Metal Which RevolutiOnized Light
ing Found i'm Colorado.

Tungsten, the wonderful heat resist
ing metal which has come into such
worldwide prominence the last few
years, is mined most extensively in
Boulder county, Colorado. For
long time tungsten was used only to
add strength and hardness to armor
plate and it was unknown to the un-
scientific world. No large deposits
of this strange metal were known
and 1t commanded a high price in
the. metal market. 1t was also used
to some extent in tool making as it
gave additional hardness to metal
working drills, etc. 1t was especial
ly valuable for such work where
high-speed metal cutting was desired,
as the friction caused by such ex-
cessiye speed would fuse ordinary
steel-cutting tools, while tungsten,
being diffucult to melt, remains reas-
onably cool.
One day the world was startled by
the wonderful discovery that the new
metal could be used for the filaments
in incandescent lamps, producing a
clearer and whittier light, and at the
same time giving three times the
light for the same cost of current
This was wonderful discovery and
the demand for tungsten sent pros
pectors and miners looking for the
| precious ore. The worlds greatest
known supply of tungsten ore comes
from Boulder county, Colorado, As
miles west of Denver. These depos-
| its cover hundreds of acres on a steep
hillside, the ore being piled in huge
masses over the top of the ground.
The rows of tungsten rock on this
farm" in Colorado were originally
veins that were near the surface of
the earth, The walls of rock that
confined them were eroded away. At
the same time the action of heat. and
cold broke down the veins of mineral
and converted them into small pieces.
The method of harvesting the crop"
on this tungsten farm is simple,
Workmen gather up the rock and
send it by chutes down the mountain
side into bins just above the railroad
track.
Two pounds of tungsten will fur
nish material for filaments for about
$4,000 Mazda electric bulbs, for each
filament is only one-twelve-hun-
| dredth of an inch in diameter. The
current passing through the filament
heats it to an incredible degree until
it is almost white hot, producing a
mellow, clear light of great brill
liancy.

SUPPORTING A NEWSBOY.
Spokane Ad Club Is Looking After
Injured Boy.

Spokane, Wash.-Four hundred
advertising men of Spokane are max
ing weekly contributions of 10 cents
each to care for Jimmie O'Neal, a 12-
year-old lad who lost a leg in an acci-
dent during an automobile parade
given by the Spokane AID Club jim
mie was an unlimited guest in a
place of honor at the rear end of one
of the big auto trucks, and when the
machine following got beyond con-
troll for a few moments and bumped
into the one Immediately ahead, the
boys leg was crushed so severely it
had to be amputated. Fearing the
driver might be blamed for the acci-
dent, Jimmie at first refused to tell
the police how the accident happened
AS soon as news of the misfortune
of the boy was brought to the atten-
tion of President r. e. Bigelow of
the ad club a special meeting was
called and it was determined that
every member should pay 10 cents
weekly to the support of the boy and
his widowed mother That is why
someone passes a hat around at
every meeting of the club.
