Among the sO-called "rarer" metals
the most interesting are those whose
compounds are abundant but whose
cost of obtaining from these COM
pounds Is very high. In other words
cheap methods have not yet been
worked out for extracting the metals
from these abundant compounds. In
an article by DR.. j. w. Richards in
Metallurgical and Chemical Engineer.
ing discussion is given Of the possi-
bilities of some Of these rarer metals,
among which are berylliuin. which ia
found as q compound IL the gem, em-
erald, but more abundantly as min
eral called beryl. Magnesium is an-
other metal which has lately been
made on fair-sized scale in this coun-
try but not especially cheaply. Others
are calcium. strontiun. barium. borol,
chromium. titanium and chromium.
Aluminium in 1856 sold for SIC per

The silicon industry furnishes an
other example in point. Silica is tie
most abundant and rlrar,.st material
in nature, yet silicon was selling in
1906 as a chemical curiosity at over
500 an ounce. Al present. 20 cents

Mr. Mccullough was an affection.
at husband, kind and indulgent faith
er,sgood neighbor and true and loyal
friend. His citizenship was of that type
that might truly BID denominated
broad and LIBERAL but, withal, quiet
and unobtrusive. During his life he
was generous and sympathetic to the
Door. the sick and the afflicted, but
his charity was transformations. Mr..
Mccullough was a great lover of his
home and found his greatest happiness
at the family hearth, where he delight
ed in having his family with him. He
was exceedingly proud OF his chill
dren and his one ambition was for
their success and welfare, and in or
der to attain this, he was willing to
make almost any sacrifice. During
his long and useful life he had ac'
quired habits Of right living particu.
Ifarly regularity, sobriety and menta'
serenity, which no doubt was conduc.
i've to his long life His death came
leaving behind not single regret on
his part and he was fortified and con.
soled by the last solemn rites and
sacraments of his church.
Funeral services took place Mon
day morning at 10 o'clock and were
attended by a large concourse OF sym.
pathetic neighbors and friends and
numerous acquaintances OF the fam
lily being here from Denison and other
places. The solemn requiem mass
was celebrated by Rev. Father James
Murphy, who also preached an appro-
pirate sermon at st. AIMS Roman
Catholic church. The remains were
followed to the Catholic cemetery by
a large cortege, where they were laid
to rest in the family lot. The pail
bearers were Charles Dugan, Patrick
Keeney, BARLEY Mitchell, William Har-
rington, Adam Short and Joseph kral.
During the funeral services every

spect to the family and as tribute

for who has ever been able to explain
just how and when all the books that
bear his name were written? He loved
the mysterious for its own sake. He

ic and mesmcric- experiments. He
spoke with absolute conviction Of the
power of magnetism and declared that
the whole OF life and society was. to
his way Of thinking. nothing but a
manifestation Of magnetic force.
His talk was like the man himself.
