ENGLAND SEEKING PAPER.
Retail Merchants Association Gets
Query for Supply.

England already is reaching out to the
United States for paper to supply her
trade. the German product having been
cut off as natural result of the Euro
pean conflict President Ross n. Andrews
of the Retail Merchants Association of
this city has communication from the
head of one of the largest jobbing houses
in England asking him to furnish the
names of mills that make particular
lines of paper heretofore exclusively
supplied to England by the German
mills.
That this country would get large
amount of new trade this year as a re-
suit of the hostilities In Europe was
predicted by President Andrews several
weeks ago and the receipt of the letter
from the Englishman seems to bear out
the prediction. Mr.. Andrews met the
author of the communication at paper
convention in New York four years ago.
Predictions of an unusual heavy fall
trade in this city were made last night
in a statement issued by Charles J. Co
lumbus, secretary of the association.
There is said to be a general opinion
among the retail merchants of Wash
ington that the month OF September Will
be a record breaker, SO far as sales are
concerned.

Causes Great Saving.

1.-THE discovery of this metal for max
ing filanents has caused an enormous
saving to the consumers of electric light
the world over. 1t enables the consumer
to obtain two OF three times the guam
tity of light at about one-half the con-
sumption of electricity formerly used by
the old carbon lamp.
THE principal use of tungsten, how
ever, is to harden steel, especially the
steel of which tools are made. The tool
steel Of the present day is said to be
nearly all tungsten steel, having from
to % per cent metallic tungsten mixed
with the steel in its manufacture. 1t is
sometimes called 'self-hardening steel.
because it does not have to be tempered,
for with the addition of the metallic
tungsten it tempers itself. When heated
to cherry red and allowed to cool, the
steel attains its maximum hardness and
can be used by machinists for lathe cut
ting tools and for drills. Machinists'
tools can be run at much greater speed,
and 1t has been estimated that at least
four times as much work can be done
with the tungsten steel as with the ordl-
nary kind, because the machines can be
run four times as fast and that with
out taking the temper out of the tool
when it gets very hot. as is the case
with ordinary steel. The president of
one of the large automobile manufactur-
ing companies Is said to have stated that
if there were no such thing as tungsten
steel the cost of each automobile would
be 5000 more than it is now.
Tungsten and its salts are used for
making silk and cotton fabrics freproof;
for winding electric furnaces, and for use
in the apparatus employed for the utili-
cation of Roentgen rays. Also occasion
ally in the manufacture of silk in order
to add weight and to give it the desired
stiff effect. It will thus be seen that
from the standpoint Of practical utility
tungsten is of more benefit to humanity
than gold.'
