Rx.Product Coke Oven.

The iron industry of this country has been adopting the by-product cok- ing process at marvellous rate. There are practically no by-prOduct coke plants in the United States, which do not recover ammonia, tar and light oil (crude benzoD.
 In the vast majority of the plants also surplus gas is recovered and util- ized either at the plant itself or by distribution to outside consumers. There are possibly two or three very small by-product coke plants at which tar and ammonia are not recovered for disposal to the outside markets, but these would certainly represent con- siderably less than 1 per cent of the total by-product coking capacity of the country that is not now equipped with benzol-recovery plants, and the by-product coking plants now under construction have either contracted fol benzOI-recovery equipment or indicated strong probability that such provi sion will be made.-Metallurgi ant Chemical Engineering.

FIND VOLCANO IN MiNDANA0
Recent Eruption Was Apparent, Lieu tenant DonneIIy Says of the
 Discovery.

Mindanao has a new-volcano, accord Ing to the Mindanao Herald. Lieuten- ant Donnelly, while on a hike into the interior of Lanao province, discovered an active volcano in the Piagayungan range of mountains, which heretofore was not known to exist. Lieutenant Donnelly says of his discovery in the following report:
 June 5, 1916, the undersigned, in command of a combined detachment of the First Cotabato company, and the First General Service company, on reconnaissance patrol from Kapaad northwest through the Plagayungan mountain range, came in sight of an active volcano which from all indica- tions had recently erupted discharge of volcanic ash and either smoke or flame.
 Prom the fact that foliage in the forest on the mountain sides three miles to the southeast had been scorched as though by flame, hot smoke or toxic gas, and that ground vegetation of scrub grass and weeds had been partially destroyed, leaving the stalks intact and the scorched leaves retaining their form, it was thought that the eruption had been recent. At all events, so recent thai the wind had not blown away nor de, stroyed the fragile remnants of the burned foliage"

HIeH-PRIcED PLAYERS FROM MINORS.

When a minor league star is pur- chased by a big league club and the size of his price is mentioned in the papers the fans who read about it Ire pleased to express some amuse- .nent. There has been more than one s1,OOO,0O0 beauty dished up from the bushes only to strut his little hour upon the major league stage and then be heard of no more. And the fan has begun to feel that the higher they are priced the harder they fall.
 Marty O'Toole is probably the most illustrious of the $1,O0O,0O0 lemons, and Marty deserves every bit of his high repute. When the Pirates came clean with $22,5OO to the St. Paul club for O'Toole they seemed persuaded that he would be worth it. Most any one admits today that he was not.
 There have, of course, been others in O'Toole's class, but scarcely so many on the whole as to warrant the idea that every costly busher is sure to funk. On the contrary, there are many who have been worth every cent of the thousands they have cost, anc there have also been others you may have heard of-Speaker and Cobb, f'rinstance, and Matty and Walter Johnson-who were had for few hun 1red dollars.

It is reasonable to suggest that good fortune has had lots to do in these affairs. If it were possible for a manager to make sure of players class in making a deal there would be fewer deals. But though more than once the big price has been a mis- take there are plenty of cases when it was not.
 Charley Comiskey, the White Sox owner, has been stung more than once, but then again he has picked up talent that was worth all 1t cost. Ray Schalk is said to have brought something close to $20,OO0, and the Sox will never regret cent of it. Hap Felsch is another high-priced beauty who cost just about as much as Schalk, and Comiskey is more than pleased with the deal.
 Chief Meyers and Hal Chase were considered high-priced youngsters | when they first came up to the majors and they both performed with all the class their bush-league work had promised. Both the chief and Hal were considered most costly in day when the prices for players were more moderate. Fritz Maisel cost the Tanks $12,OOO and the release of Dan iels and Midkiff when he joined then from Baltimore.
