Making Iron Rustless.

It's a big job for a city 10 dig up a
water main from the bed of a river and
put in new pipes just because the old
pipes have rusted through and can't
stand the pressure, but it's very often
necessary. Battleships are continually
going into dry-dock to receive new plates
below the water line, and even the pipes
in house will often become weak from
rust and burst during some cold snap.
The United States Bureau of Mines be-
lieves it has found a way to prevent iron
from rusting. The Bureau calls its plan
the "electrolytic method" which is moth
ing more than charging the exposed iron
or steel surface with an electric current
OF varying intensity, whereupon the rust
process is reduced 10 a minimum.
A man connected with the Pittsburgh
station Of the Bureau of Mines, recently
submerged some steel plates in the Mo
nongaheLa River. Some were charged
and some were not. A small electric
current was kept playing through a few
of the plates, and when they were taken
up from the river bed after so long
time, the unchanged plates were badly
rusted, while the others were in excel
lent condition.
Engineers have fought the rust evil for
years, and in spite of antitrust COM
pounds and other mediums the iron and
steel went right on rUsting the good old
fashioned way. The bureau has tried
out its new method very thoroughly, and
in a booklet just published it tells how
it arrived at the discovery and just what
is the proper way of charging the ex-
posed surface of the metal.
One of the best household uses of the
new discovery will be TO prevent corro-
sion and rust in rural pump shafts,
which impart a strong ferrous taste to
the water after being in use for a year
or two. A few small hand-batteries will
do the work, it is believed. and the
pump-owner will also be saved the task
of digging out his pump-shaft every
year or two.

UNCLE SANS WORKSHOP.
Diamonds in Arkansas.

The State OF Arkansas. chiefly known
to fame through the medium Of mud
baths, razor-back hogs, and travellers
has suddenly jumped into the national
limelght with a brand-new number-the
diamond industry.
Way back in 1906 one of the natives
was pOking around III the soil of Pike
County with a stick when he discovered
a stone that almost gave him heart
failure. He rushed away TO a jewelcr.
who promptly pronounced it genuine. and
made good his verdict by offering at
least 50 per cent of its real worth.
When the tirst-paSe newspaper special
lists got hold of the story the discovery
OF diamonds in Arkansas was a nine-day v
sensation, but it was generally believed
W critical circles that a pawnbroke- had
lost his ring. Arkansas, however, didn't
mind criticism, and went right on finding
diamonds.
Three fields were discovered. all within
walking distance of Murfreesboro. The
stones" occur in A quality of rock
known as peridotite with which the sec
ton was plentifully sprinklcd. and up
to the present time something over $50
stones" have been found, weighing in
the aggregate over so carats.
For the past seven years, diamond
mining in Arkansas has been Crowding
the razor-back hog industry badly. and
even the mud baths have suffered, while
the natives went diamond-hunting. In
addition, several very respectable dis-
mond mining concerns have been develop
ing the field, and the industry has at
last commanded the respect of the United
states Geological Survey. which expects
to issue a bulletin on the subject in a
few weeks that will tell all about dia-
mOnds in Arkansas
1t has been suggested that the GeoloGi-
cal Survey name its bulletin:

Backyard Arbutus.

The mayhower Of England. better
known in this country as the trailing ar
butus, and which for years defed cuI-
tivation. can now be grown in the ordi-
nary fiower-bed OF any city backyard
if the soil formula OF Frederick V. Co
vile. 4 Department of Agriculture bot
anist is carefully followed out.
Coville has discovered that the soil
in which the little plant will grow. con-
taius a certain acid element which he
has succeeded in isolating and labelling.
The result of his experiments has
shown that sandy soil mixed with GER
tain acid elements which he will shortly
outline in a department bulletin, is the
only soil in which the arbutus will grow
after being transplanted. Only after re-
peated experiments was the botanlst able
to arrive at the solution OF the problem.
The arhutus is one OF the most sweet
scented flowers and blossoms in this
country. 1t blooms from about the mid
die of April to the early part of May. All
previous efforts to transplant the little
flower to ordinary sandy. fertliZed soil
had failed. up to the time of the Co.
vile discovery.

notable achievement was the saving OF
the Bank of California. This institu-
ton, the greatest of it's kind in the
west, became inovlved in serious bust
ness difficulties. Had it failed it would
have retarded the development Of Cal

Keene's influence in the stock exchange
that body contributed $500, 900, while
Mr.. Keene himself was one of the four
contributors Of a million in cash to the

the bank
