tiersds, the Record.

For some years past scientific men
have been striving to produce heat
fiercer than any Temperature OF which
We have experience in ordinary life.
The greatest heat ever developed by
the agency of man was obtained by
Sir Andrew Noble. who exploded cord
ite in closed vessels, SO that a pres
sure Of so tons to the square inch was
registered and . degree of heat never
previously recorded.
The highest Temperature reached
In fuel furnaces for practical pur-
poses 10 between 1.7o0 and 1900 de-
grees centigrade. and at such heat
fire clay and porcelain are melted.
Then we come to the fame fed with
and coal gas; by these means =
temperature of 1000 degrees cent?
grade may be obtained
A new industry solely dependent
upon the employment OF great heat
is that of melting quartz. This min
eral. fused BY the oxy-hydrogen
fame. Is converted into tubes and
TASKS and other vessels for chemi-
cal purposes. These vessels are ab-
solutely inert. and may be heated
hundreds Of degrees higher than il
possible with glass; they may also
be plunged at such heat into cold
water without injury.
It. has been discovered that BY
whirling . centrifugal wheel at high
velocity In the combustion chamber
Of . furnace the nitorgen is cast to
one side, while the oxygen is con.
centrated, and in this way bright
sr flame and greater heat are OBJ
tained. A similar appliance used
during the CONFUSION Of coal in .
furnace enables q firm Of paper
makers to save n per cent of their
coal bill by the elimination Of
hydrogen gas formed In combus-
ton
But most remarkable of all the
phases Of the utilization of extreme
heat IL the discovery Of the welding
material known as thermit. The
inventor discovered that aluminium
Is very much attached to oxygen.
and holds it closer than q brother.
Therefore he mixed granulated alu.
minium with oxide of iron, for the
lighter metal wants oxygen, and the
quantity Of magnesium filings was
placed on top of the mixture and q
storm-match applied. and immedi.
ately mass Of molten iron was
seen boiling at temperature OF
5000 degrees centigrade - much
higher than any temperature in or.

In carving out this agreement Mr.. Jer-
ONE WAS introduced from the tail end of
q lumber wa&on, and remarked that he
was having . particularly pleasant and in
terestin& time, because At the entertain
ments siven him in Denver and the other
large cities Of the West, he had met
mostly eastern people who had come
West, but at Holly he met the native ives.
terner on his native heath.
II one could Judge from appearances, Mr..
Jerome certainly had good time. He
chased from the krand stand to the judges
stand, and from the judses' stand to the
race track, so as not to miss any of the
particularly carried away by the broncho
busting and the Indian dances that were
eiven by our Indian beet thinners. In the

had made . most lasting aud favorable
impression on his mind.

1t has been remarked by the surround.
Ing people that when q man says he conss
from Holly he does so with an air Of pride
and they have often asked, Wherefore
the prider 1t is not that we have the

New "MIssIna Link"

An important find of human remains
has been made In Sussex, England. It
is part Of a skull and jawbone. and
will come to be known as the "P1lt-
down" skull So far. 1t is believed
possible. the remains belong to that
Immensely remote period when the
North Sea was dry and the mastodon
roamed the land; in short to the PHO
Gene era. The skull is extraordinarily
thick, nearly one-half OF an inch 1t
has good straight forehead, and un.
doubtedly had brain. The jaw seems
to indicate. however. that there was
no power Of speech. There are mere
ly two well worn molar teeth in place,
but other things show that in life
there were great CANNES and large
front teeth. In this 1t differs from the
famous Heidelberg skull. which is also
apelike in form but hman as to teeth.
1t was found with mastodon and PHO.
Gene elephant bones, and primitive
hints; but these, Sir Ray Lancaster
considers, may or may not have been
coeval. The skull is being restored.
1t seems to link man to q new spe-
cies and confirm his near relation to
the ape. The find was made by an
amateur geologist, Charles Dawson, r.
