CAN DELIVER THE GOODS.

Northern Wisconsin can deliver the
goods, but the best part of the story
is that she can produce the goods be-
fore delivering them. The merits OF
this region in agriculture, dairyins
and fruit raising were ignored while
the rush was on for the prairie re-
gions People passed by these excel
lent opportunities to go further and
take poorer ones, but that period has
passed. Northern Wisconsin is now
settling up rapidly, and the tide OF
HON eseekers promises to be greater
than ever the coming year The
newspapers elsewhere are gaining in
formation as to what is happening
here, and are saying things like the
following from an editorial article in
the Milwaukee Free Press:
''In the Lake Superior country the
fruit industry goes on apace. The
Washburn-B Bayfield, district not only
requires a half dozen refrigerator
cars daily in strawberry season to
handle the berry crop, but is plant
ing orchards of apples, cherries,
plums and pears, one tract of 300
acres having been prepared and plant
ed this season. Other special crops
grown in connection with canneries
and preserving factories flourish ex
ceedingly Because of the colder
winters insect life is not so difficult
to hold in check as in a milder CHM
ate, and immunity from the activities
of the cucumber scale and the strip
ed beetle is favorable to pickle fac
tories, which do rushing business,
northern grown cucumbers selling at
from 25 to 40 cents bushel more

south Seed growers have pronounc-
ed northern Wisconsin the greatest
seed growing district in the world,
backing their judgment by extensive
land purchases, so that seed pro-
duction has become an industry in
itself Superior Telegram.

1905, fifteen million pounds in 1907.
twenty-five million pounds in 1908,
with increasing amounts for 1909, 1910

The production of pumice In this
region exceeds that Of the other
states Of the Union, and seems de-
stined ultimately to displace from the
market some Of the pumice imported
from Sicily. Already Nebraska pro-
duces ten thousand tons of native
pumice annually, and arguments based
upon the possibilities of this resource
secured an increased protective tariff
on pumice by a recent congress
This unique industry seems one of
consequence, when we consider the
army of men employed, the usefulness
Of the products, and the increased
value Of pumice land.

Study. of Fish Scales.

Some time ago the class in zoology
at the University of Colorado exam
ined the scales of the fresh water
fishes of the vicinity. Finding that
the different fishes could mostly be
distinguished by their scales, and that
the scales had very interesting char
acters, the work was continued. Since
then large collections of fish scales
have accumulated at the university,
presented by the British museum, DIR.
Jordan OF Stanford university, the
United States Bureau Of Fisheries,
DR.. Eigenmann of the University of
Indiana and others. Many scales have
been studied and photographed, and
much has been published on them.
1t Is found that the scales are not
only useful as aids to the Identified
ton of fishes, but throw much light
on their classifcation
The geological department of the
University of Colorado is also investi-
eating the fishes of that state, and
has obtained number Of interesting
kinds, two or three being new to sci
encs, and at present only known from
Colorado.-Prof. T. D. A. Cockerell,

GROWING VALUE OF
NEBRASKA PUMICE
BY ERWIN n. BARBOUR,
University of Nebraska.

Interstrat ifed with various beds
throughout Nebraska, ranging from
the Oligocene, through the Miocene,
Pliecene, and even the Pleistocene, as
reported, are certain beds Of such uni
formity. f1neness and Wilderness as to
attract universal attention. These are
the beds Of volcanic dust, Or native
pumice, commodity which in five or
six years has sprung into consider
able commercial Importance. Anomal-
Gus though it may appear Nebraska,
the most distinctly agricultural state.
Ii the chief producer
Volcanic dust, probably originating
In the mountain region to the south
west, was carried by the winds and
deposited over practically every coun-
ty In the state of Nebraska. Some
beds are distinctly water-laid, others
wind-laid Before the Nebraska geol
ogical survey had begun to publish
papers respecting its neglected natur
al resources, this native pumice was
seemingly worthless thing. At that
time it commanded In the market
about 81 ton. AS the resource be-
came better known, it's market price
steadily rose and for some years stood
at about 81 a ton. Many shipments
are now sold at SIS to $40 ton
Out Of a long list of pumice lands
On file in the office OF the Nebraska
geological survey, not one piece re-
mains unsold, some of it netting the
ranchmen as much as $500 an acre
on land which had recently been pur-
chased for Sc an acre. This native
pumice has been varously termed vol
eAnic dust, volcanic ash, "geyserite,
etc, and where mined" extensively It
is now called Silica" and the beds
where it is produced are known as
silica mines"
1t has a wide range Of uses, is
shipped extensively, and furnishes per
manent employment to a large force
OF men. Plate glass works, stove
works, and manufacturers Of scour-
ing compounds are the chief users.
The daily output of one Nebraska firm
retails for more than $4,000 and, in
addition, this firm has branch fac
tories Of equal Importance in Chicago
and Ontario.

a
each oven This. rise in temperature as
shown by the first THERMOMETERS is an
index of oxidation activities
the size of the coal particles; GO the
initial or induced temperature; and
ca moisture content.
To determine the influence of these
factors, various mixtures Of coal and
iron pyrites of different sizes and
moisture content were kept at con-
slant temperature In ovens specially
constructed for that purpose. The re-
suits OF these experiments showed
that the oxidation of coal is contin-
uous over wide range OF time and
conditions, and begins with the
freshly-mined coal at ordinary tens
peratures Generally speaking, it was
found (1l that each kind Of coal may
have it's temperature increased to a
certain point below which oxidation is
not ultimately destructive; this tenn
perature depends upon certain eXter-
nal factors, and II the latter are re-
moved, oxidation ceases and the
temperature falls; however, If the
temperature rises above this critical
point. oxidation becomes autogenous
and is ultimately destructive; GU
that the presence Of iron pyrites is
positive source of heat, since the
amount of oxidation of the pyrites
was determined and was found to be
practically constant, viz, 20 per cent
of the pyrite present in the coal.
Without exception, in every test
made, the wetting of the coal increas-
ed the activity as shown by the ulti-
mate temperature. The smaller sizes,
| because OF the large surface present
ed to the air, heat much more rapidly
| than lump and so are source of dan
ger; CO that treating the coal to solu-
| tions of chemicals did not seem mate
rally to retard the oxidation, all
though a preheating treatment con-
fined to a temperature below the crit
| ical point with subsequent cooling
seems to have commercial possibili-
ties.

Wherever large quantities of btu
minous coal are stored-and bitumin-
Gus coal furnishes by far the greatest
part of the energy used at the present
day-the danger arising from spon-
taneous combustion must be taken
into consideration and hence elabo-
rate and costly measures are being
taken to avert this hidden peril. The
problem Of spontaneous combustion 1s
rapidly being recognized as the great
problem in the storage OF bituminous
Goals.
The United States government,
which uses upward OF quarter OF 9
million tons yearly by the navy alone,
has taken great precautions to avert
the danger of spontaneous combustion
in it's new coal pile at Bradford on
Narragansett Bay near Newport,
where the storage capacity Is about
sixty thousand tons.
The danger OF spontaneous combus-
ton on ship board Is even greater
than during ordinary storage for the
coal is usually stored in whatever
space Is unoccupied by other mate
rails, usually at the side OF the vessel
between the boiler rooms and the side
planking. Here the coal 10 subjected
to the heat of the boiler and engine
rooms and is especially liable to 1g-
mite spontaneously.
To determine the underlying causes
Of the spontaneous combustion of
Goals an investigation was carried on
in The engineering experiment station
of the University of Illinois. A study
of the mid-continental type was made,
not only of the various forms of oxi-
dation to which the coal is subject,
but also of the influence Of the fol-
lowing factors: Cd iron pyrites; (2)
