Saving Metal Waste.

In Germany the waste from ma
chine and similar shops is now con-
v%eniently disposed Of by being pressed
into the form of briquettes under a
high pressure, and in this shape the
material is easy to handle and has
been found valuable for many pur-
poses. The fragments Of metal such
as turnings, chips, filings, and so forth,
are delivered into a large hopper which
feeds the hydraulic press. When the
metallic waste has gravitated into the
hydraulic press the plunger descends,
and slowly, but steadily, the mass is
subjected to increasing pressure. By
carrying out the task slowly the air
displaced by the particles being forced
gradually into closer contact with one
another can effect it's escape. Bri-
quotes made by this method from cast
iron borings with a low percentage of
phosphorus can be substituted advan-
tageously for the white iron as used in
tempering furnaces, while Bessemer
plants and steel foundries having Sic
mens-Marin furnaces using scrap ma
terial find brquettes made from steel
and wrought iron turnings a cheaper
and more efficient fluxing medium.

PULP LUMBER FORMULA.
Easily Made Material Fer Building
Walls and Partitions.

The following is a formula for max
ing a pulp lumber or board that will
answer every purpose of Il plaster
board and is very inexpensive and
easily made and can be made by every
| one disposed to do for himself. writes
a correspondent Of Scientific American.
Plaster board is a very useful mate
| rial in every home. but it's sale is con-
| fined largely to having to order from
the factory and await it's coming except
in the larger cities, and this pulp lum-
Der can be made by anybody and is
less expensive than any plaster board.
Plaster can be had in almost any
town. and sawdust can be had for the
carriage. A mixture Of seven pounds
Of dry sawdust to 100 pounds of gyp-
sum stucco makes three square yards
Of pulp lumber n inch thick. and
where the board is made thicker than
n inch a greater per cent Of saw
dust can be used. 1t can be made at
a labor cost of 3 cents per square yard.
Wood molds having adjustable sides
and ends and a rubber covered bottom.
so the plaster won't stick to the mold.
are very satisfactory and very cheap.
1t will dry in a few minutes, and un-
til it can be taken out Of the mold it
should be stacked perpendicularly on
edges so the air will pass under and
between each board until it is dry.
When dry it can be sawed and holds
nails very well. 1t can be nailed on
wood studs to form a wall. For a real
cheap wall only the joints have to be
pointed. and then it can be papered.
1t will prove a very inexpensive air
tight and verrain proof wall.
1t is a first class material for inside
purposes and within the reach of the
poorest people. for they can make it
themselves. a the plaster necessary
for any n job would be a small item.
When the public knows how to make
it there will be thousands of unused
attics converted into sanitary, habita-
BILE living rooms and many cold houses
made warmer 1t makes fine parti-
tons, as there will not be the stains
that occur from the use of wood lath,
and it is much less expensive than
lathing and %plastering. 1t can be
made two inches thick and set between
wood studs and each side plastered,
and the result is a wall more sound
and fire resisting than the wall lath
with wood lath and plastered. and an
inexpensive test will show the great
merits Of this material, which is pos
sible for every person to make.

Uses Of

On account Of its extraordinary light
ness aluminium is a most useful metal
In the construction of parts of automo-
biles, flying machines, etc. Its use for
cooking utensils is we'll known, but
probably the most important market is
for automobile manufacture. After
that would come its use as a conductor
Of electricity, for next to copper it is
the most important substance for that
purpose. Other things equal, the most
necessary quality for a conductor of
electricity is Its conductivity. The
most perfect conductor of electricity is
silver, the price Of which, however, is
obviously too high to be commercially
valuable. After silver the best con-
ductor is copper; then comes gold and
next aluminium.

Luminous Metal.

For generations the peasants of
Cornwall have handed down a legend
that at night there may be seen a
family luminous metal among the
rocks brought from the mines of the
county. A British scientist has proved
that this story is by no means based
on imagination. A specimen of the
mineral autunite, which is also found
In Wales, was sent to him from Por-
tugal because Of its shining character.
He finds that it closely resembles ar
tdacially prepared salts Of uranium
and that its luminosity is due to spon-
taneous radio-activity. The light it
sheds is stronger than that Of nitrate
OF uranium. Upon parting with it's wa
ter OF specialization the metal loses its
luminosity.

Mark Twain's Profanity.

of a certain vigorous expletive. How

Mrs. Clemens received the mail this

In Georgia an effort is being made

vital to the welfare Of the whole peo-

TO IMPROVE
COUNTRY LIFE

At st. Paul last week Mr.. Roose-
velt spoke in part as follows:
''The purpose Of the progressives in
this campaign is to restore and Sc
cure to the plain people that position
Of control in the government of their
own country, which, in the working
Of our institutions, is being wrested
insiduously from them. l shall dis
cuss briefly two great public ques-
tions of vital and far-reaching impor-
tance, the conservation of natural re-
sources and the betterment of country
life.
"Upon conservation can be brief.
What first called attention to the
gravity Of the national forests. 1t
happened, fortunately, that this inn
portant asset of the. national wealth
came during my administration under
the charge of Clifford Pinchot, to
whom, more than TO any other man,
is due the credit for having this ma
tional peril brought prominently to
public notice.
''The conservation idea caught the
popular imagination and the conser-
vation policy rapidly took shape. In
the spring OF 1908 called the govern
ors Of all the states and territories to
meet at conference in the national
capital. There it was unanimously
resolved that the great prosperity Of
our country rests upon the abundant
resources Of the land chosen by our
forefathers for their homes; that these
resources are a heritage to be made
use Of for prom ing the
comfort, prosperity and happiness OF
the American people, but not to be
wasted or needlessly destroyed
IL followed this up by the appoint
ment of the national conservation
commission, which made the first in
ventory Of natural resources ever pre-
pared for any country.
''The long fight to protect the for
ests OF the United States has not been
to keep them out Of use, but to encour-
age the utilization Of them to the
fullest extent consistent with preserv-
ing their power Of service to the reo..
pie for all time.
''To accomplish conservation in its
largest sense effectively, two things
are Of prime Importance. First, there
must be a sound moral standard on
public matters; our public men must

failure of the farmers to act together

attribute their lack Of political intlu-
