Seareifv Of Riemuth.

Bismuth is one of the few metals OF
which the United States can not or
does not produce enough to supply Its
needs. The scarcity Of bismuth IN
this country and the accredited con-
troll Of the market by a foreign syndi'
cate have kept the American price
high, but according to the United
States geological survey interest is
rapidly being developed In the recov'
cry of bismuth as a by product in
electrolytic lead refining. No large de-
posits Of bismuth are known in the
United States. but some ores mined
for their gold or silver have been
found to be more valuable for their
bismuth than for their other mineral
content. Thus in 1910 a Colorado
mine reported to the geological survey
| the production of ore which carried up
/ to 10 per cent of bismuth, in addition
| to gold and silver.

Montana Grown Seed.

The uns atisfactory results from
planting seed that is deficient in
germin ating power suggests that
Montana grown seed be used In
preference to the imported article.
Most of the latter is purchased by
seed dealers in the open market, and
there is no guarantee as to it's
quality.
In an announcement published by
the Chinook Opinion, the Thos.
O'Hanlon company refers to this sub
ject as follows:
"We respectfully suggest that you
impress On your valley farmers the
ad Wis ability Of growing vegetable
seeds of all kinds. We feel assured
they would find it very profitable. By
planting three or four bushels OF any
good variety of onions, we feel sure
that an acre would yield seed to real
ize 800. The same applies to turnips,
beets and rutabagas. In tact all va
~rieties of vegetable seeds.
Thousands Of dollars are cent eas'
every year for seeds, and lots of them
are of poor terminating qualities
We feel that q great business could
be built up here for northern grow
seeds and fancy prices could be GO
for such seed.
This applies to all grain, clover
and grass seeds, and &C immens'
trade could be done in hard varieties
OF Flint and Dent corn. Some year,
ago We paid Geo. Davidson $75 pei
acre for White Flint corn"

Will Reduce School Expenses.

It is claimed that approxim ately
1854, 600 will be saved to parents of
pupils duriog the time they are 10 the
eight grades in the public schools of
the state as the result of changes IN
text books recently made by the Nor
tana tex book commission.
The board was 10 session for six
days, made the selection of text books
which will be in use in all OF the
grades OF Montana schools for five
years, and executed the contracts with
the various companies. Only two text
books now in use, Gordy's history
and Tuttle's Principles of Public
Health were retained.
Under the contracts books cannot
be sold in any other state cheaper
than in Montnna, and the state super
intendent will keep closely informed
on this point so that If it il learned
thu t any company violates this provi-
sion the book furnished by such con
cern will be discarded immedi ately
1t was this provision which accounts
for two of the changes made.
1t was also decided by the book
companies that there shall be two de.
positories for Montana, and it is un-
derstood that the one for the eastern
part of the state will be located q,

THE ELECTRIC SHOCK.
Effects Of a Death Dealing Current on
tho Human Body.


An English electrical journal states
that as the result of prolonged obser-
walton and the collating Of records it
has been concluded that death in the
case of electric shock usually results
either from contraction Of the 6brils or
muscular fbers Of the heart or from
paralysis of the respiratory organs.
While there is no known remedy for
the former. artificial respiration may
sometimes overcome the respiratory
paralysis.
The effects of direct and alternating
currents vary with the current strength,
the duration Of contact and the path
through the body. and with alternating
currents low frequency is usually more
dangerous than high. The lower ami
mails are more susceptible to electric
shock than man. dogs being often killed
by a direct current at seventy volts.
In the average man a direct current
Of 100 volts is scarcely noticed. 200 to
400 volts give rise to muscular cramps,
while $50 volts suddenly stop respira'
ton. An alternating current Of low
pressure often affects the heart. AT
600 volts both fbrillary contraction and
respiratory paralysis ensue, but at 2.3O(
to 1880 volts the effect is usually con
fined to the respiratory organs. Ameri
| can e%lectrocution records show that 6
| current of 2 to Z amperes at 1,5OO volts
Is to 20 cycles per second. always
stops the heart when continued 40 tt

ASBESTOS THREADS.

Over Two Miles to the Pound.
1t is a matter of more than ordinary
interest that he production of asbestos
in the United States is rapidly increas-
ing. It more than doubled IN 1911. and
the increase was largely in fiber OF
the serpertine (chrysotiie, variety. OF
which the best grades are spun and
woven into freproof fairies for thea
ter curtains. motor brake bands and
| the like. where incombustible material
must be used.
The finest asbestos thread yet spun
carries a small percentage OF cotton
! and runs over two miles to the pound.
| The total production Of asbestos in the
United States in 1911 was 7.6N short
tons, valued at $119.935. and it came
| almost wholly from Vermont and
| Georgia. A little came from Wyoming
| and Virginia. Canada. however. pro-
| duced thirteen times as much asbestos
in 1911 as the United States. and we
| imported for our manufactures G. per
cent of all Canada produced and So per
cent Of the exported.
One of the most remarkable features
Of the asbestos industry in recent times
is the growth of the demand for the
lower grades. Being 6reproof and an
electric and heat insulator. asbestos Is
extensively used in the building arts.
and the interest in this sort of manu-
facture at a number Of points through
out the country indicates that the in
dustry is developing rapidly.
The most striking new application Of
asbestos was made last September In
Louisiana. in extinguishing a burning
oil we'll from which 10000 barrels OF
oil were escaping daily.
The finest asbestos yet found in the
United States. comparing favorably
with the best from any part Of the
world. is in the Grand Canyon Of the
Colorado in Arizona. 1t is not. how
ever, easily accessible.

How Liaht's Speed Was Found.

One Of the greatest discoveries OF sci
ence is due to observation of the
eclipses of Jupiter's moons. 1t was
found that when the earth was in the
part of it's orbit nearest to Jupiter
these eclipses occurred sixteen min
utes earlier than when it was in the
farthermost part; whereas by all rules
Of astronomy they should have &C.
Cured at the same minute each time.
It was deduced from this that light
was not instantaneous and consequent
" took sixteen minutes to traverse the
diameter Of the earth's orbit, a dis
lance Of about 200, 900 miles, thus
giving to light a velocity Of 10000
miles a second, which was accurately
shown later by other experiments.
