ORIGIN OF
FLOTAT|ON PROCESS

The Mining & Scientific Press in
an article in its last issue discusses
the origin of the flotat.on process of
ore treatment, anu Grams that Mrs.
Everson. whom Colorado has sought
to honor by a memorial, was not the
discoverer of this system that is revo-
lutionizing 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 problem that remained
entirely unsolved for many long years
after she made her amateur expert
ments; but we permit ourselves q
laugh at those who have exaggerated
her ineffective attempt into a great
invention, inorder to belittle the work
of real metallurgists and in order to
destroy the originality of much later
and far more scientific research. The
Everson patent describes no workable
process; it was forgotten until patent
litigation brought it into fictitious
prominence.
IF Mrs. Everson has never recorded
her experiments the flotation process
would have lost nothing. Flotation
was not descended from her. That
oil would adhere to metallic particles
and float them was known TO Hero
dotus it has been a matter of ency-
clopedic information ever since. Mrs
Everson tried 10 apply the old fact

Is closed. No reason exists for be
lieving that he got it from the U. S
patent records, for his method bore
no resemblance to that of Carrie Ever

THE ORIGIN OF
BASKETBALL
BY FRANK G. MENkE.


BY Pac. and InpI News Service.
NEW YORK, Jan. 26.-Basketball
was originated % years ago by Jas.
Naismith, a Y. NJ. C. A. instructor in
Springfield, MASS, IN an attempt 10
provide some game that would relieve
the tedium of regular gymnasium
work
When Naismith created the basket.
ball game in 1891 he never thought
its popularity would spread beyond
the confines OF his own little gym
nasium. Yet, basketball today is the
major winter sport among colleges; it
is played in every city and hamlet in
the United States and in every city
of any size in the civilized world.
Basketball is the infant of sports,
but its popularity is increasing yearly
by leaps and bounds and its devotees
will number far into the millions
within a few more years.
How Idea Was Born.
Back in 1890 Naismith noticed that
his charges grew tired of the regular
gymnasium stunts before the winter
was one-half over. They soon lost
their zest for the clubswinging and
dumbbell exercises. Naismith con-
Guided that 1t. was necessary to dis
cover some gymnasium game that
would prove exciting; would keep up
interest and at the same time pro-
mote health and build muscles.
One day he noticed some of his
boys trying to throw a baseball into
basket that hung on the wall. That
gave Naismith his basketball idea,
That would be game into which
would enter the element of competi'
ton and one which would increase the
quickness OF the hand, the feet and
the eye. one which would promote
| health.
Naismith's hardest job was to find
a suitable kind of ball. He realized
that baseball was too small; that q
rugby football not only was too small
but also not of the right shape. Just
about then he witnessed a game Of

Popularity Increases.

Smiths pupils played the game dur
ing 1891-and went wild about 1t.
They told their friends about the new
game, the newspapers heard about 1t
and in 1892 several other gymnasiums
were staging basketball games.
In 1893 every gym in Springfield
and many in Boston and other Massa-
chusetts towns had basketball teams.
Inter-gym games were played and at
tracted crowds. In 1894 the Smith
College girls began to play basketball
and from that time on the popularity
of basketball spread throughout the
United States and beyond; spread to
every civilized country in the world.

Used Soccer BaIl.
Naismith got soccer football and
the early basketball games were
staged with that sort Of ball as the
Standard. The y. n. C. A. Instructor
not only borrowed the ball from the
soccer game. but he also lifted" some
of the rules. The .'dribble" which Is
one Of the important plays in basket
ball was borrowed from soccer. In
several other ways the basketball
playing methods are the same as SOC
Ger.
The rules OF basketball today arr IL
most the same as those laid down by
Naismith 25 years ago. The size of
the ball, number of men on side and
such other details have been changed,
but those are all.
A peculiar thing is that the playing
area rule made by Naismith still re-
mains. That limits the playing field"
to 1000 square feet. The gymnasium
where Naismith was instructor was a
small one and Its area limit was only
a trifle over 1000 square feet. Had
the room been larger Nsismith prob
ably would have increased the size of
the field" Yet his 1000 feet limit
remains the standard.
