He went to Palmer on the afternoon

The apparatus will be used to measure
the relative brightness Of the North

to enable a cinematograph reproduc-

afterwards. The pictures are to be
taken at night, and will consequently
require long exposure, which will ex-

In fact, if such rock laid around loose on the ground, one might walk over tons of it and not notice that it was anything different from the spawlS around the granite quar- ry west of town. A little closer observation, however, disclosed the fact that the graish color was due to a generous sprink- ling of silver in the rock, or perhaps it would be more ac- curate to say rock in the silver, for the specimen was manifest ly more than one half white metal
