r Iron Turned to Copper.

1N was made in one of the copper
mines at Ell Cobre. Cuba. These mines,
once among the richest in the world,
We're abandoned for a long time on ac-
count of the instructions in Cuba
against the Spanish rule. In 1868 the
coal supply was cut off by the nsur-
gents, and consequently pumping be-
came impossible and the mines became
filled with water.
After the Spanish war an American
company bought the mines and pro-
ceeded to pump out the water. In one
OF the shafts thus made accessible vas
found what once represented an Iron
pickaT, as we'll as some crowbars The
metal in these implements had, t is
said. turned to copper. Extraordinary
as this may appear, il can be scientif.
ically explained.
The water. filtering through The rock
and the copper ore veins. dissolved
some of the copper. the solution con-
tanning sulphate of copper. As soon
as the .sulphuric acid in this solution
touched the iron it at once dissolved
that metal and deposited copper in it's
place, for sulphuric acid has a greater
affinity for iron than for copper. In
the process certain impurities which
had existed in the iron were left be-
hind undisturbed. The wooden handle
of the ak was in good condition. The
metal was porous and irregular in
shape, but In the general outline pre-
served the form of the ak, somewhat

native born. In August, following the
great massacre in Urfa, the women
were sent away, while the men re-
manned there.
In describing the massacre Mrs.
Young said:
The firing commenced August 10.

ventured into the town to see If he
could do any good. He found every
street dotted with corpses, and had the
impression that there could not be a
single Armenian left in Urfa. 1t seems
that the massacre must have been Or
sanized. for systematic house-to-
house visitation took place. All the
men were shot or otherwise done to

Mrs. Young herself saw hundreds of
emaciated dead bodies all along the
roads leading to the coast, and a few
like wild animals than human beings.
Nearly all the shopkeepers in Urfa
were Armenians All of them have
been killed. including the only chemist
in the town capable of compounding
drugs. News of the taking OF Van, in
the north, by the Russians, apparently
excited the mob in Urfa. At least said
Mrs. Young, this was the official ex-
cuse. Great efforts were made she
adds. to conceal the traces of the mas
sacre from the American consul and
other neutrals. The blood-stained
streets were sanded over and the bodies
were dragged away and cast into a
ravne.
Immediately after the Urfa massacre
the Turks began sending away the
woman prisoners. Mrs Young depart

travelled to Aleppo. and thence to
