New E~lsetropIatina.

VII Nv TNcW 1OIk I1UnGS.
A new process for the electrical deposit
OF metals on porcelain and glassware is
being introduced into England, according
to the current issue OF The Crockery and
Glass Journal. Previous efforts in cleo
troplating glassware and china have been
confined to two methods. In one IL has
been e~ndeavored to obtain the necessary
conducting surface by applying a film of
graphite OF plumbagO by means OF var
nish. rubber solutions, and similar meth
DDS. In this case, however, the metal does
not come in direct contact with the Dor
celain or glass. Consequently, the deposit
Is uneven, and can not be polished readily
because the neat generated is apt to
soften the vaEnish, In. the other process
he surface Of the porcelain Is rendered
conductive by burning in non-oxidizable
metals, such as gold and platinum, but
this system is complicated and also objec-
tionable because of the high cost OF the
metals required for the purpose.
In the new method the surface to be
coated is rendered conductive by a chemi-
cal reaction that does not involve the APP
plicaton of heat, and which results In the
metal and the china or glass being made
one homogeneous body. The process is
SAID to be simple and inexpensive, and
that the an cunt of deposit can be varied
TO suit different requirements. The de-
posted surface can be polished, FURNISHED,
oxidized, lacquered, and heated like or
binary e~lectroplated ware. The process
Is said to increase the strength of china
or glass articles treated by it so greatly
that they become practically unbreakabIe.

The opening of the africa La Paz air

triumphs of railway engineering. The
vast wall of the Andes, which stretch

Pacific coast, has seemed to defy rail-
way builders. Yet their genius time
and again has pierced the wall.
A ear OF so ago the first short line
from the Pacific to the Atlantic was
signalized by the railway through the
Uspallata Pass which joined the sys-
TENS of Chile and the Argentine Re-
public. Other ines climbing right in
to the heart of the Andes had been
built in Peru and in Ecuador. There
was also a winding line from Antofa-
gasta UP from Chile to the Bolivian
tableland and the Peruvian route by
way of LakehTiticaca. But the La Paz
africa line is by far the shortest. A
great advantage will be for passengers
to be able to get from the coas to the

OF MORE WITNESSES

Hot Springs, Ark, Sept. 17.-With
the arrival here today Of District At
toThey whitman and Assistant District
Attorney Rubin, from New York. Hot
Springs again was expected to become
one of the centers of interest in the
Rosenthal case.
MI. Whitman, to strengthen his case
against Police Lieutenant Becker,
charged with instigating the Rosenthai
murder, will examine citizens who
talked with Sam Schepps after his ar
rest here.
An investigation will be made of the
assertion by the defense that Schepps,
while in Hot Springs, said or limited
to certain persons that in his opinion
Becker was the victim Of the plot, the
result of which was to fasten upon the
policeman a crime planned and exc
cuted by the gamblers.

Middletown. N. Y, Sept, 1.-THE
fight which Burton ". Gibson, the
New York lawyer, will make for his
life. he said today, will be directed en-
tirely by himself. He has not engaged
counsel, he added, and intended to APP
pear in his own behalf when arraigned
today before County Judge Royce on
the charge Of numbering Mrs. Rosa
Menschik SzabO, his Viennese client,
who met death while boating with him
or Greenwood lake, 16 miles from here,
on July 16.
Gibson's examination was postponed
today until September "a, on applica-
ton of District Attorney Rogers. y
Gibson talked all the way up from
New York about the case against hin
and outlined his defense in detail.
The name of the woman i am
charged with staying" he said, "is not
SZabo. 1t Is Ritter. Further, she Is not
the Viennese Mrs. Ritter at all. My
client was beginning to show the adj
vance Of age She wanted to come up

fused and stepped IL Of the boa into
two feet of water. That was the first
time we came up here, but It con-
WINGED me that l would have to be on
my guard against a repetition of the
accident.

THE next time we went rowing, o
eral days later, on the occasion Of an
other visit to Greenwood lake, we had
on our bathing suits. l was in the end
of the boat and Mrs. Ritter wanted
to change seats. She was sitting in
the other end. The boat was round bot.
toned. She got up and started toward
me. l hadn't stood up, but was just
half way out of my seat when the boat
suddenly tipped and we both went intol
the water. ;
Il don't know what 1t was that made
the boat tip over. We went into the
water simultaneously. The boat was
drifting keel up when I came up. Mrs.
Ritter "a between me and the boat
and, although she could swim a little,
| saw she was in trouble and went to
aid her. Now, I am not a good swim,
mer; indeed, I can hardly swim at
all. She was struggling 10 reach the
boat, apparently. and when l went to
help her l grasped her and we both
went down together. She held me-,
o the neck with her arms and
her legs were around my waist. l got
free of her, but l am quite sure that
l did nothing more than break her hold.
| did not strike her or harm her in any
Way-Of that l am sure. All this was
under the water. When I came to tho
surface l thought I saw Mrs. Ritter.
