MISSES DEATH AS IF BY MIRACLE
Ex-Mayor w. D. NOrgan's automobile
Hit by Log Train-Smash Near
Georgetown.
News and Courier.

News and Courier.
Georgetown, March 13.-By the mar
rowest margin the Hon, w, D, Nor
gan. ex-mayor and president of the
Bank of Georgetown, escaped death
in horrible form on Wednesday. Only
mis- presence of mind and quick action
saved him from being smashed by the
locomotive of a log train, with which
his automobile collided at the Sampit
road crossing, four miles from town.
Mr.. Morgan was himself at the
wheel of his car. On the same seat
was his chauffeur. AS the automobile
approached the crossing Mr.. Morgan
told the chauffeur to look in one di-
rection while he looked in the other
for the possible approach OF a train.
The road crosses the track diagonally,
so that it is necessary to look back
ward in one direction and forward in
the other to see up ana ooWn the
track. The chauffeur was instructed
to look back. Whether he misunder-
stood his instructions or not, he look
ed back into the body Of the automo-
bile, and not back down the track.
Meet on Crossing.
When Mr.. Morgan himself took the
backward view the log train, follow
ed by the Marion Branch passenger
train, was almost upon the crossing
and running at a pretty good rate OF
speed. The automobile was moving
at low speed, but it was speed enough
to take the machine on the crossing at

Chauffeur Lands in Ditch.

The chauffeur went out of the ma
chine as if from a catapult and land
ed on his head in a ditch. The auto
stopped at the edge Of the ditch. Had
it fallen on the man he must have been
killed outright. He was severely
bruised and will be laid up for num-
Der of days. No bone was broken.
Conductor Murphy stopped the pas
senger train at the scene of the acci-
dent and offered any assistance in his
power. The chauffeur was sent to
town on the train.
By happy fortune Mr.. Morgan sus-
tained no injury save a shaking-up.
He caught on his feet when he jumped,
which showed agility for man in his
sixties. He caught a passing buggy
and continued on to his farm, 2 couple
of miles distant. AT the farm he Sc
cured a team and was driven to town.

just the same time the locomotive
would get there.


Seeing the peril OF the situation and
realizing that instant action was es-
sential Mr.. Morgan called to the
chauffeur to jump But the chauffeur,
apparently frozen with fear, did not
move. Mr.. Morgan thereupon quick
Iy sprang over the mans knees and
jumped to the ground. So close was
he to the track that he had to jump
backward to save himself from being
hit by the engine. The brake was not
set on the automobile and the machine
kept on, with the chauffeur in it. The
forepart of the auto got across, but the
pilot of the locomotive struck the rear
wheel and body of the car and threw
it about % feet.

USES OF GRAPHITE.
The Most Refractory of All Carbon Ex-
cept Diamond.

Graphite or plumbago, next 20 dia.

cites OF carbon, Is a mineral of great and
increasing industrial importance. The
island Of Ceylon, off the coast of India.
is the worlds greatest graphite.produc.
ing center, and the United States alb.
serbs about one.half of its product.
Other far-oh countries that contribute
graphite 10 our industries are Korea. in
western Asia, and the French island of
Madagascar, off the east coast of Africa,
and IN spite Of political upheayals north.
ern Mexico has continued to contribute
important supplies. These large drafts
on foreign sources, amounting in 1918 to
2S,slB short tons, valued at 81, 100, 79I
are In marked contrast TO the small do
nestle production of natural graphite
which in 1913 was only AIS tons. val
ued at S293,756, according to state
ment by the United States geological
survey. As IL has been fully demon.
strated that natural graphite occurs in
our own country in practically mex.
haustibe quantities, the question arises.
Why should our industries be so Deepen
dent on foreign supplies The reason lies
in the mechanical difficulty in concen-
trating the American product. Most of
the graphite found in this country oc-
ours as small flakes in banded rocks
known as schists. The graphite forms
only five to ten per cent. by weight of
the rock, and the crushing of the rock
and clean separation of the graphite
flakes have proved commercially sue
cessful only in few favored places. a
number OF new methods are now being
tried, which ii is hoped viii prove more
efiieient-notably the electrostatic proc
ess that has been applied with so much
success to the treatment Of zinc ores.
The uses for which graphite is suited
are dependent on the purity and physi-
cal character of the material. The faky
fibrous graphite from Ceylon finds its
principal use in the manufacture of
graphite crueibles used in the steel,
bronze, and similar industries. The
faky graphite from Madagascar is also
used mainly in crucibles, but the earthly
graphite from Mexico is used principally
in paints, for lubricating, and in pencil
and is not adapted for
crucibles.
The percentages of the worlds produc-
ton OF graphite used for various pur-
poses have been estimated as follows:
9rucibIes, 50 per cent; stove polish Is
per cent; foundry facings, 10 per cent;
cad pencils, 5 per cent; paint, per
,ent.; lubricants, 5 per cent; all other |
Ises, 8 per cent.

The Hardness of Water.

In the July American Magazine a con-
| tributor, writing an article describing
the development of new type of fast
motor boat, gives a most interesting de-
scription of the resisting power of water.
He says that a solid stream of water
shot out OF hose at tremendous veloc-
ity is just as as powerful and de-
structive as a rod of iron. An extract
from the article giving an idea of the
hardness and resisting power of water
Here is fact which is probably novel
to the average man who has not spent
of his life thinking about motor speed
boats. This is what we may call the
hardness OF the water when a boat is
running at speed. Water at fifty miles
an hour is not the limpid liquid we are
accustomed TO battle in. If you put
your arm overheard from a hydroplsne
running fifty miles an hour and strike
a wave crest, the probability is that you
will break your arm or wrist, because at
that speed the water has not time TO
give, not time even to change shape, and
striking il is like striking so much metal.
"ln the great hydraulic mining noz-
zles, where a stream of water under
enormous head Is used 10 wash down
hillsides, swordsman, in attempting
to cut into one of these streams. will
shatter the sword without being able to
penetrate the water. The stream is like
a bar of iron. The fact that water at
relative speed is so hard,-or that its
inertia i so great. to BE- q little more
accurate,-is the reason why a skipping
stone travels over the surface. and is
the reason why a hydroplane boat slides
over the surface instead Of blowing its
way through.
The picture We must have in our
minds, then. OF a speed-boat IL that she
s travelling not in water, ss we ordi-
larily understand il. but over the sur
lace Of q semi-solid. very much as q sled
