The next day, for the first time,
the general visited the gun while
it was in action, accompanied by
his entire staff, and we realized
from the looks on the faces of all
that something was about to take
place. The general, sitting on
the ground a few PAGES from us,
dictated a letter to his secretary,
and after it had been copied sign

We had fastened rope to the
trail of our gun. and Immediately
dragged it behind shelter to be re-

to the gap and fired. The Span

Joyce jumped over me, quickly

This settled it, and Gen. Rosa
ordered us to take cover in the

1t was necessary to recover the

manufacture of cooking utensils. in automobiles and aeroplanes and as a substitute for copper wire in electric cables.
 Bausite is at present used in the manufacture of aluminium, alums. b;.usite brick and a product called alundum. used in making artificial abrasions. Most of that mined in Arkansas is used in the manufacture of aluminium, while most of that produced in Georgia, Alabama and Tennessee is used in the manufac- ture of alums. such as common alum Of the drug store and that used by cities in the clarifying of water for domestic use.
 The production and consumption of aluminium in the United States had a phenomenal growth from S3 pounds 1 in 1883 to 65.607,00o pounds in 1912 The average price of bausite at the mines in 1912 was sd.S1 per long ton. 1 Bausite is generally found in round concretionary disseminated grains Also massive. volitic and earthly clay, with colors whitish, grayish to ochre- yellow, brown and red. It's compost : ticn is essentially: Alumina, 7S9: water, gel. Bausite is generally con sidered as a hydro-th thermal deposit.

extracting the metal from clay at low cost has been developed, though reports of efforts being made to that end are encouraging. At presen. the only source of aluminium is bau
 site, though the minerals cryoiie and corundum contain large percent ages of that metal A small amount
 of cryolite is used in the extraction of aluminium from bausite, not as q
 source of the metal, but to aid ur fusing the bausite. Cryolite contains 12S9 per cent of aluminium. 32.S4 pe:'
 cent. of sodium. and 54.26 per cent. of fluorine: corundum contains 5303
 per cent. of aluminium and 4697 per
 cent of oxygen when pure. The per
 cent. of aluminium in the minerals
 named in the averages in common
 together in the following table:
 Average amount in common clay,

 Average amount in kaolin. 17.61 per

 Amount in the mineral bausite.
 39.21 per cent.
 Amount in the mineral corundum. 533 03 per cent.
 It will be seen that corundum con tains much larger percentage Of aluminium than bausite. but it is not used as source of the metal be- cause it occurs in limited quantities and is more valuable for abrasive i articles such as emery wheels, emery
 paper and emery cloth and as pow
 der used by manufacturers of plate glass. and stone workers. The metal aluminium is light in weight Alone 1t is not very strong. but alloyed with some other metals it has great strength. The use of aluminium and it's alloys is all the | time increasing. Among the present uses that may be mentioned is in the

 Whereas, The Supreme Ruler Of the Universe has called to the heav- enly home our veteran brother, Past Chancellor J. B. Peers
 Whereas His long and faithful ser vice to Phoenix lodge, No. ?. and the Order of Knights of Pythias, makes it eminently fitting that we record our appreciation. Therefore, be it Resolved, by Phoenix lodge.
