London. April 26.-Though Lord Nor
lev Is unaware OF any precedent for a
state holding an inquiry into the loss OF
a foreign vessel. The Daily Graphic
records that two Investigations similar
TO the Senatorial inquiry have been held
IN England. The first was early In 1919,
when the German ship Schiller was
wrecked at Scilly, with loss Of three
hundred lives Not only was there an
inouest on the bodies brought ashore,
but an official inquiry was instituted by
the Board Of Trade, with the acquies-
cence of the German government.
The second was later in the same year.
when the Deutschland, another large
German transatlantic steamer, went
q asbore on Kentish Knock. Inquests were
held at Harwich on some OF the bodies
and there was also an official inquiry
by the Board Of Trade.
Attention was called TO this inquiry IN
the German Parliament, and Privy
Councillor Won Philipsborn Informed the
uouse that the German government IN
1869 had entered into an agreement
,,itb England by virtue OF which all
accidents which befell German ships on
the British shores were to be ihVesti-
gated by British courts. The OBJECT OK

DISCOVERY OF NEW MINERALS.
Bulletin of MlneraIogicaI Notes ls- sued by the United States GeologI-
 cal Survey.

New minerals are constantly being discovered. Their deter imitation is usually made by the geochemist-the chemist who works along geologic lines-or the miueralogist. The properties of minerals already known are like wise being redetermined, with the result that sorae of the published descriptions which have remained uuchalienged for many years are undergoing constant change. Most of these minerals as discovered or determined are of only scientific interest and no relation is seen between their occurrence in nature and their probable value to the industries of the world. However, no one can say when the mineral oglc curiosity may not prove to be a revolutionary factor in some industry. As an example, the mineral tungsten was we'll known for 100 years, but only re- gently was it found that this mineral could be made into an electriclamp flament yielding light which is stated to be the nearest approach to sunlight.
 Another instance is the metal vanadium. As late as 1905 the United States Geological Survey published in Bulletin 262-"Con- trihutions to Mineralogy"-an ex- tended description of some vana- dium minerals and it was not then thought that this metal would com mand much attention from the industrial world. But to-day it is asserted that small quantities of vanadium added to steel result in remarkable toughness, giving great resistance to shock and to fatigue" caused through constant bending; and that steels containing d small percentage of vanadium make much better springs and saws and other tools.
 It Is the province of the mineral ogist therefore to go in bllndly, as 1t were, to work out his scientific problems irrespective of what the industrialist or the technologist may evolve from his conclusions.
 Archaeological Notes, Series r. 7 which has just been published by the United States Geological Sur vey as Bulletin 490, is a compila- ton of the research work of this character conducted by Waldemar T. Schaller in the chemical labora- tory of the Survey since 1905. As indicated by the title, this bulletin Is the first of proposed series which will be published by the Survey, from time to time. A copy of Bulletin 490 or of Bulletin 262 may be obtained, free of charge, on application to the Director of the Geological Survey, Washington, D c.
The oasis., 1912-02-17

the resignation of the peace com missioner to President Madero, called forth strong statement yesterday from the deputy from Sonora to the national congress.
 He denied having made any in situation in regard to a disagree ment between General Viljoen and Governor Maytorena, such as was alluded toin the telegram sent by General Viljoen to the governor. He said, moreover, that he was surprised that the governor, in giv- ing the message out for publication, had not corrected the remark made by General Viljoen.
 NOT AFTER PUBLICITY.
 It was not his intention. said the deputy, to call attention of the public at this critical moment to the question of General Viljoen and his mission in Sonora, as he informed the governor in a private letter, but in as much as the tele- gram from General Vilioen was published the deputy felt justified in saying:
 General Viljoen confuses pol- tical interests and those which, as good and legitimate Mexicans, we defend for the sake of the dignity and honor of the nation. The concrete fact of my statement, which 1 firmly sustain, is that, although General Viljoen has re- gently become a citizen of Mexico, just as he was at one time a citi- zen of the United States, or as tomorrow, if he wishes, he may become citizen of China, should not intervene as leader in one of the most private and delicate sub- jects of our nation.
 NEED NO FOREIGNERS.
 "We have native citizens of wide knowledge and competence who could with dignity solve the trying situation through which the state of Sonora is passing on ac- count of the uprising of the Yaqui Indians.
 Precisely because Mr. Vijoen has met with no success in his work of paci6cation which is re- cOgnized, he wishes to go off at a tangent as is cc mmonly said threat ening the government with his resignation. He may rest assured that not only the people of So- nora but all Mexicans would well come the confirmation of this threat"
