ENGLISH BOAT
CREWS WORRIED
Entry Of Many Foreign Clubs May
Force Them to Lower
Their colors.
TBy Associated Pressj

London, England. June 22.-English
oarsmen are seriously concerned over
the foreign invasion" OF Henley. The
coming OF crews from America, Cana
da and Germany to row for the Grand
Challenge Cup in the first week OF
July has set them to figuring as to
what they can depend upon to defend
English prowess. which in this event
has only four times lowered its flag
to the foreigner
The first foreign victory was in
1906, when the Belgians won the cup.
They repeated the victory in 1907 and
again in 1909. while an Australian
crew took the cup in 1912. However.
this year the oarsmen are watching
the Americans more closely, remem-
bering how near the Vesper Boat Club
of Philadelphia came to winning in
1905.
With all this competition, England
this year finds herself sadly lacking
in first class material. The Leander
Club, which in previous years could
be depended upon to put strong
crew upon the river has not been re-
ceiving so many rowing recuits lately.
Formerly It was the usual thing for
rowing men from all the universities
and colleges to join Leander on grad
uating and TO keep up their rowing
for some years afterwards. Now
more men from the universities &c
into business and have not the timt
to devote to training, or else they g
abroad.

ON THE FARM is REAL LIFE.

Why is It that railway magnates,
presidents OF banks and heads of great
enterprises in cities. almost all try
to have homes on farms in the coun-
try. where they develop soils, plant
crops and breed animals? 1t is be-
cause there is wearisome monotony
in piled-up brick and stone. There is
confusion in crowded streets and
changing trolley cars and hot, smoky
railways. These things man has made,
and they are needful, but they are
not life, much as the farm boy may
imagine them to be.
Life is in the open country. Life
is in the growing grass, the waving
fields of wheat, the springing corn
Life is in the trees and birds, life Is
in the developing animals on the

Cyanide of Potassium

There has been a great deal oe mis- understanding and misapprehension regarding the present supply of this chemical, and, without knowledge, it is constantly being repeated that there is a tremendous shortage: that all the supply may be cut off, and the price has risen to an extraordinarily high figure. All of which is absolutely at variance with the actual facts. The largest importers of supplies from Germany have large stocks on hand. The Pacific coast agents have guar anteed full supplies to all their GUS toners, and only at a very slight raise in price above normal figures. The only manufactory in the United States was compelled to close down when the tariff was taken off cyanide. But these works have again engaged in the manufacture of the chemical, and undoubtedly will establish a per manent basis for continuance l have made it my business to inquire of the operators of good properties in Ari
 zona and without exception they state they are getting all the supply needful for their requirements and with a very small advance in price

when general hostilities began soon
 after, prices went soaring as high as
 S100 per flask as compared with an
 easy price of $35 per flask in July.
 No exports of quicksilver were per-
 mitted from England and as con-
 siderable of the worlds supply is
 controlled in England this had an
 important bearing on the market. Shipments gradually became rreer
 and the market dropped slowly to the
 present basis of $50 to $60 per flask for large quantities.
 Some interesting facts and figures on quicksilver mining and produc- tion have been compiled by H. D.
 McCaskey, of the United States Geo. logical Survey. He says:
 The worlds production of quick silver, in metric tons of 2,2O4.6 lbs each, was All tons in 1913, and averaged BPS tons, or 109,5S4 flasks of 75 lbs. net each annually for the 1905 the United States jed the world
 in production, but from 1906 to date the leading producer has been Spain, whose great cinnabar deposits of Almaden. the output of which has been controlled by the Rothschilds
 and marketed chiefly in London. have proved very rich The de- posits of quicksilver ore in Idria (western Cariola, Austria) and at
 Mente miata CTuscany, Italy) have with those of the United States (chiefly California; furnished the bulk of the remainder of the worlds sup ply. The figures given in the survey year Spain produced approximately 1,490 metric tons Italy 3SS tons, Austria S55 tons, the United States 6SS tons
 and Mexico and all others, 150 tons. The production of the United States was 20,213 flasks of 75 lbs. each; the imports were 2,289 flasks, and the eX- ports LAO flasks, giving an approXi- mate consumption and stocks available of 21,666 flasks, which is probably not far from the present annual needs of the United States, the figures of estimated domestic consumption rang ing between 10000 and 25,O00 flasks year. The domestic demand is mainly for making illuminate, for amalgama ton of gold and silver ores, and for manufacture of electric and other ap-
 pliances. It seems unlikely that do-
 mestic production will greatly increase
 or that considerable eXportation from
 Europe can be depended upon for some
 time to come"

 | Cyanogen is present in minute quan- titles among the iron furnace gases, | and is sparingly present in the distil- lations of coal for gas.

The residual mass is boiled with water, the mix
 ture filtered, and the filtrate evapo- rated and set aside for crystals to form. The cyanogen, produced from the carbon and nitrogen of the animal matter, unites with the potassium, and afterwards, on boiling with water, with iron, to form what is often termed the yellow prussiate of potash
 or ferrocyanide of potassium. It con tains the elements of cyanogen, yet it is not a cyanide, for it is not poi sonous, and is otherwise different from cyanides From this salt all cya-
 hides are directly or indirectly pre- pared
 Potassium cyanide k.c.n.. is formed when potassium is burnt in cyanogen
 or in hydrocyanic acid gas, or when potash is added to aqueous hydro [ scale by fusing potassium ferrocya- hide with potassium carbonate. The iron is thus separated, and potassium takes it's place. Potassium cyanide is
 a white salt, very soluble in water and hot alcohol. It fuses easily with
 out decomposition, and, as previously stated, is a deadly poison. It is large ly used as a solvent for gold in the cyanide process. It is used in pho
 tography for dissolving the unaltered
 silver salts, forming a soluble double salt; also in still greater quantity in
 the art of electrotyping in gold and
 silver, serving as a solvent for those
 metals. The sodium and ammonium cyanides are also soluble, very poi SonOuS salts. The great chemist. Faraday, was first to discover the solvent power on gold and it re- mained for the two Scotchmen, Me Arthur and Forrest, to apply it on a large practical scale, and they for 1 many years derived enormous reve- nues from it's use under their patent rights The practical use of cyanide greatly revolutionized gold extraction all over the world, both simplifying and econGmizing, besides gaining greater extraction from the gold ores,
 and establishing the possibility or
 working lower grade ores at greater profit than could ever be done pre- viously to it's adoption in gold milling. Another base for it's manufacture is potash, and this is being found, in more or less quantities, in several parts of the United States; and it
 may be possible that in few years . America will be able to supply full
 amount for it's own demand without i being dependent upon Germany or England.

Compulsory Arbitration

A campaign is new being carried on in several states with view tc enact ing a law that will compel employers
 and employees to arbitrate all labor disputes thus avoiding strikes and lockouts.
 In one of our western states strike was called which rapidly degenerated into state of civil war, with oppos- ing camps of armed men. This be- came so intolerable that federal troops were called in to quel the insurrec- ton.
 Whatever the cause, whether il was injustice to the miner or mine owner,
 so far as the public was concerned, ihe result was the same. Business was thrown into an unsettled condl- tion; operations in no way connected with the original trouble, were forced to suspend: men were compelled to idleness, and the fair name of the state became a synonym for anarchy.
 Could this trouble have been avoid
 ed, had there been upon the statutes
 of that state a compulsory arbitra- =
 tion law?
 This question will be given prom inent place on the program of the Convention of the American Mining
 Congress which will be held at Pnoe- nix, Arizona, the first week of De-
 cember, 1914, when it is hoped that
 thorough discussion by both those
 in favor of, and those opposed to
 such a law, will at least be produc-
 tive of suggestions that will lead to
 a solution of this veXing question anI
 perhaps bring employer and employe
 into d closer understanding.
