Graphite Made from Coal

Graphite. the common use of which is seen in the ''lead" pencil, is almost pure carbon. This mineral is therefore only Q step removed from coal and in fact some of the natural graphite deposits are found in coal beds where the intrusion of masses of intensely heated iquefed igneous rock has metamorphosed the coal, thus forming graphite. An exam. pie of this natural manufacture of graph ite out of coal is described in one of the reports of the United. States Geological Survey on the Raton coal field of New Mexico. On the other hand, large quar- titles of high-grade graphite are artifi- cially manufactured direct iron ordinary coal.
 In making lead pencils the graphite is mixed with clay of fine grain and the greater the proportion of the clay constituent the harder the pencil. Ex- ceedingly soft pencils with large leads contain but little clay.

To ascertain the time at night the Apache Indians employed a gourd on which the stars of the heavens were marked.

By turning the gourd around he could tell the order in which the constellations might be expected to appear.

 The tough little boy with the red air and freckled face pushed up against the neat little boy and said impudently:

CARE OF HoRS ES

The following suggestions concerning the care of horses during cold weather are offered by the Connecticut Humane Society. They are simple and effective and the, humane man can find no reason. able excuse for disregarding them:
 Warm the bits little on freezing mornings.
 Take the chill off the water he drinks
 Be careful about exposing him when overloaded.
 Blanket him when he stands in the cold.
 Have his shoes sharpened when the streets are slippery. Take no risks of injury to him in skating over asphalt.
 On icy mornings carry some sand for emergencies.
 Load lighter when snow blocks the streets.
 Do little shoveling and help your horse.
 Attempt no hard pulls up steep or Slippery inclines.
 Horses draw. and keep their balance better unchecked.
 Give him frequent rests on snowy roads.
 Help your horse with little axle grease.
 Rub him down when he comes in wet. Feed carefully and well during the winter.
 Blanket and bed him sufficiently on cold nights. Send for veterinarian before it is too late.
 Keep your temper and save your horse.
 These humane suggestions are made in the interest of the horse, but do not forget that he is your property and the value of many horses is Appreciated by their treatment in wintry weather.

Keen It Up


 Why can't we all carry right along to and through 1912 the cheerful spirit of the brief holiday season? Keep your friends in mind all the year and do this and that and get this and that because you know it's what they like. The one out of the Christmas season is that it localizes a sentiment that should be continuous, just as the fact that it arouses that spirit makes it beautiful. There is no more solid reason for con- sideration for our fellows at that time than at any other they are all the time fellow creatures with wants that recur daily. Think what effect it would have on daily life if we were all the while asking ourielyes what this person liked, and then were to accommodate them. Think what trade would be if the Christmas rush were 8 steady thing Think what would be the effect of conditions on the tlght-wads, if they were where they had to open up every day! Think of the influence of growing children if they were met at all times with the cordiality and kindliness that mark the Christmas period If we can't pledge ourselves to keep this gait all the year, at least let's begin with il and hang to 1t as long as possible That's the road to the millennium Hartford Oourant.
