CORRESPONDENCE COURSES
FOR FOREST RANGERS

For the purpose of raising the stand
ards of efficiency among its field men,
District of the Forest Service has,
during the past five years, conducted
an interesting and instructive CORES
pondence course for forest rangers.
The course of study is pursued an
nually from November l to April I,
during a period when the forests of
the district are snOw-c covered to an ex-
tent necessarily limiting the amount OF
field work. The rangers spend a con-
siderable portion of their time during
this period at their stations, and are
able to devote some time almost every
day or evening to self-education ana
improvements along the lines they musr
follow in their chosen occupation.
After consulting the rangers them
selves the course was revised this fall,
and the schedule of subjects rearrang-
ed and grouped in courses each contain
ing four, closely correlated subjects,
under the following heads: Preliminary
Work, Botany, Grazing, Forestry, Sur
veying and Forest improvements, and
laundering and Utilization. The pre-
liminary course, comprising the sub
iects of Business Correspondence anc
Report Writing, Elementary Forestry
aud Surveying, Fire Protection, ana
Claims Laws and Rights-of Way, is re-
quired to be taken by all new students
enrolled, since it is so arranged as to
form a solid foundation for the more
advanced studies. The other courses
are elective either in whole or subject
by subject Each ranger, having com
pleted the preliminary course, is ex-
pocted to select for future study those
subjects which are particularly appli-
cable to his district or to the forest as
a whole, on which he is employed. The
subject of grazing, which is of vital
Importance in the administration of
the national forests of this district, is
one of the most popular studies with
the men.
Courses are so arranged that the av'
erage ranger can readily complete a
full course, or four subjects, in one
winter, and some of the more apt ana
studiously inclined men finish one ana
half or two full courses during the
eason. No part of this work is com
pulsory. s~
Ninety men, or approximately half
he total ranger force of the district,
re- enrolled this winter, so one man in
the district office at Ogden handles the
work without assistance. The results
in higher efficiency which are sure TO
be obtained far outweigh the shgh,
cost of conducting the course.

ORIGIN OF THE
.FLOTAIION PROCESS

The Mining & Scientific Press in an
article in its last issue discusses the
origin of the hotation process of ore
treatment, and claims that Mrs. Ever
son, whom Colorado has sought to honor
by memorial, was not the discoverer
oil this system that Is revoIutionizing
the mining industry. 1t says:
Mrs. Everson was an intelligent,
earnest woman who happened to touch
the fringe of a metallurgical enigma.
We do not ridicule her, nor her effort
to investigate a problem that remained
entirely unsolved for many long years
after she made her amateur expert
monts; but we permit ourselves a laugh
at those who have exaggerated her in
effective attempt into a great inven-
tion, in order to belittle the work or
real metallurgists and in order to de-
stroy the originality of much later and
far more scientific research. The Ever
son patent describes no workable pro-
cess; it was forgotten until patent liti-
cation brought it into fictitious promi-
nence.
If Mrs. Everson had never recorded
her experiments the hotation process
would have lost nothing. Flotation was
not descended from her. That oil would
adhere to metallic particles and foar
them was known to Herodotus; it has
been matter of encyclopedia informa-
tion ever since. Mrs. Everson tried to
apply the old fact to the concentration
or ore and failed. The fiotation of to-
day comes to us through the Elmore
brothers, who got their idea from
George Robson, at the Glasdir mine, IN
Wales; where Robson got his idea we
do not know, but We hope to find out
before the matter is closed. No reason
exists for believing that he got it from
the U. s. patent records, for his method
bore no resemblance to that of Carrie
Everson. From the Elmores the hota-
tion pedigree continues to Alcide Fro
ment, who saw the Elmore bulk-oil pro
cess in Italy, and from Froment to IL.
L. Sulman and I'll. f. X. Picard.
cit is only the distortion of scien-
tifc vision created by the miasma Of
litigation that has caused the Everson
patent to loom so large against the
later investigations ana developments
OF the process. One myth has been
swept away; in course of time Others
may follow it, so that ultimately the
scientific truth may stand out clear
Meanwhile we congratulate the Colo
RADIO Scientific society on its course of
action and hope that it will not abate
in its intention to do honor to women
who was an investigator, nurse, a
teacher, good wife, and devoted
mother. This is more than being bub-
bic in the froth of litigation.

GOULD LINES STILL
WORK IN HARMONY

Numerous exchanges have come %
us stating that the ID. & r. G.. and
Western Pacific have separated, while
others say that they will continue TO
conduct joint offices. Col. Place in
forms us that the two roads viii con
tinue joint relations as heretofore
that the Missouri Pacific and Iron
Mountain roads are still in operation
at the other end, and wool and other
shipments will be handled with the
same efficiency as in past times over
the Missouri Pacific as if nothing had
ever happened.
G. l.. Stone, passenger traffic mana
ger of the Missouri Pacific at st. Louis,
has recently added another swell fast
train to his stable of "goers. 1t is
called the "Sunshine Special' and

Col. Place left yesterday afternoon
for Salt Lake City, and after a day
or two will go to Idaho, where he will
confer with the wool and fruit men
and commercial clubs at numerous
points in the state. He will probably
return to Winnemucea in two weeks.

TRANSMISSION AND REAR
AXLE LUBRICATION IMPORTANT

The Importance of transmission and
rear axle fabrication is often overlook
ed by the automobile owner and truck
operator and considered a minor detail
The fabrication of these parts is fully
as important as the fabrication of the
motor, states a recent bulletin gotten
out by the Standard Oil company's au-
tomobile experts.
The entire load of the ear or truck
is taken by the two teeth in the trans
mission and the two teeth in the rear
axle which are in mesh. These teeth
should be separated b va film of oil,
otherwise the motor will fail to de-
that it should; the gears will wear rap
idly and become noisy.
In the fabrication of the ball bear
ings, it is necessary to main tain a film
OF oil between the ball, cone and race; !;
otherwise these parts will not receive
correct fabrication. This will result in
excessive bearing wear, throwing the
gears out of alignment, rendering them
noisy, and will cause considerable
loss of power at this point.
Oil is a more suitable lubricant for
this purpose, states this bulletin, than
hard grease, because OF Its fuidlty AMI
ability to penetrate the minute clear
ances between the ball and race, which
is only en-thousandth of an ineh.
Another reason why hard grease is not
so suitable as oil is that the revolving
gears will cut path through the hard
grease and allow the gears to run dry.
Pacific coast refners are claiming
that lubricants made from asphalt base
California crude, give best results, and
are substantiating their claims by the
-ecent findings of prominent engineers
and the Exposition juries, as well as
records of actual service.
