HOW TO TEST FOR TUNGSTEN

TIE following method from the re-
pert OF the Colorado Geological sur
vey, IS the one recommended by the
chemistry department. of the Colora-
do Scfool Of Mines:
Completely pulverize the mineral,
place small Quart,ty in a test-tube
with hydroch!or'c acid. Boil vigor-
ously for fifteen or twenty minutes
II huberite or wolframite is looked
for, or about ten minutes if scheel-
ite is expected. A fine yellow pow
der, tungstic oxide, WO3, is formed.
When a small piece of tin or zinc is
added the yellow powder and the
powdered tung ten mineral are
changed to a fire blue. The tung-
site oxide is reduced by the stannous
chloride to a lower hydrous oxide.
If concentrated or very strong hyd-
rochloric acid is used the blue solu-
ton will soon change through wine
color to purple-brown, and finally to
brown. If dilute acid is used the
blc.e color will last much longer Di-
lutte sulphric acid nay be used, but
in the case of the dark tungsten ores
requires a longer time to produce the
tungstic oxide. The blue color OBJ
tanned by reducing with zinc or tin
is more lasting than that obtained
by treating with strong hydrochloric
acid. II the finely powdered mineral
is fused with ten or fifteen times its
vo,ume of sodium carbonate (or bak-
ing soda) in an iron spoon, and then
dissolved in acid and treated with
tie zinc or tin, the results will be
the scme, but the test will be more
certain, since the minerals are rath-
er hard to break up with the acids
alone.
A test which hrs proved satsfac-
tory with tie da-k tungsten ores
may be made as follows: Reduce tie
mineral to a very fine powder and
fuse with sodium carbonate (baking
soda). Dissolve the mass by boil
irg in water, add few grains OF
ammonium sulphc cyanate, and heat
gently to dissolve tire saft Add
dilute hydrochlo ic acid. A bright
wine-red is produced. Add tin and
bell. The red disappears and is
followed after short time by a
rich-green solution. The depth of
tie green will derend upon the
strength of the solution.
Follow the first test until the
first boiling has occupied twelve or
fifteen minutes, then add little
nitric acid and bell about five min
utes. Allow TIE yellow powder to
fail to the bottom, and drain off the
liquid. Add ammonia. II the yellow
powder is dissolved, 1t was formed
by tungsten. The ammonia solution
nay be acidifed with hydrochloric
acid and tin added. The blue color
produced by boiiTg will not disap'
pear when the solution is diluted
with water.

If Governor Capper Of Kansas had

City. Mo, a speaker against prohibi-
ton, who abused the governor in that
officials absence. Mr.. Conwell de-
clared he had tried repeatedly to draw
the governor out for joint debate,
but that the governor had stedfastly
refused to hear him. He said he tried
to get him to debate with him in Oma-

So Conwell could no longer put off
the things he wanted to say to Gov
ernor Capper. He just had to say
them as if the governor was before

a man toward whom Mr.. Bryan's
back was turned.
In his consideration OF the Wilson
administration, Mr.. Bryan recited
some of the arguments which may be
found in the democratic textbook or
in the literature which is being dis
tributed by the democratic national
committee. He failed lamentably to
explain the fallacies of the democratic
administration, but did the best he
could to apologize for the administra-
ton. He repeated the old story about
democrats and aristocrats," the
former eating the crumbs and the, lat
ter eating pie and cake.
Keeps Them In Good Humor.
He interpolated a repertoire Of
funny stories, which put the audience
in good spirits and thus appealed to
their imagination. One story was
about a mother-in-law. The son-in-
law was asked whether he wanted
her cremated or buried and he said,
BOTH because he wanted to take
no chances. Another story was about
mother who was buying coffin Tor
her son. Want any trimmings"
asked the mortician. mo, that was
what he died Of" replied the mother.
Mr.. Bryan referred to Hughes,
Roosevelt, Cannon, Depew, reaction
aries, wool, prosperity. hides, Mexico,
Lusitania and few other things.
"A republican farmer is now re-
ceiving as much for the hide of a
steer as he formerly received for the
whole steer" was his way of explain
ing democratic prosperity"
Wall Street and Labor.
He told how the democrats gave
Wall Street Knockout drops and en-
abled 100000 workingmen chance to
enjoy the comforts of home by pass
ing an "eight-hour law" He referred
to Charles E. Hughes as "promi-
nent republican, and said the Next
can situation resolved Itself into the
demands OF certain American specu-
lators, asking the home folks to help
them make good in their gamblers
chance in that country.
Mr.. Bryan made an appeal for sup
port of President Wilson and the
democratic congressional nominee of
this district, but would not ask for
support for Senator Hitchcock or
Keith Neville or any other wet
democratic nominees.

L. J. Quinby and l. ]. Dunn spoke
