 J. Frank Duryea is one of the little known American geniuses whose work has affected the whole of a great in dustry. He was born in Illinois in 1869, so he was only just of age when he built his original 'horseiess wag- on." Having a taste for mechanics when he was a boy. he moved East to get practical knowledge and exper- ence, for in those days the West had velopment in this direction. Like many other men who went in for mo- tor car construction, he started in a bicycle shop.

There was a sharp falling off in the production of tungsten ores in 1911, owing to the decrease in the market for. tool steels, in which the bu k of the tungsten is used. According to preliminary figures collected by Frank L. Hess, of the United States Geo!og- ioal Survey, about 1,125 short tons of concentrates carrying 50 per cent. tungsten trioxide were produced and shipped during the year, wh .ch is less than two-thirds of the output for 1910, when 1921 tons were marketed The prices for the year ranged from $4.5O to $S.5O per unit, depending on quan- tity, quality, and Individual bargain ing At the close of the year $5 per unit was offered. The unit is twenty pounds of tungsten trioxide per short ton of ore.

WHY, INDEED2
lThe Rural New Yorker.}

Last week we mentioned the report that Connecticut Congressmen were in- suited because a Pomona Grange di- rected them to support parcels post. One of our readers wrote Congress- man E. J. Hill and told him what the farmers wanted. MT. Hill sent the Yours of the 18th received. The Re publican Representatives from the State of Connecticut are for a parcels post, and do not need the threatening character of the communication which you send. I have a suggestion, how ever, to make to you, that you send it to the Democratic Representative from Meriden, as the Post Office Commit tee is in the control of the party which he represents, and if you do not get a parcels post at tEfs session it will be the fault of the Democratic party rath- CT than the Republican.
 E. J. HILL.
