commercial demonstration any of the
experiments which 1t makes in the lab
oratory. Nevertheless 1t is constantly
investigating ways and means of eff
cheney. doing any and every thing ap-
pertaining to mines and the market
ing of their products: but solely for
the benefit of the public.
Thus. If Mr. Ralston discovers a bet
ter method of applying oil hotation. it
will be patented; but any one will be
allowed to use the patent free of
charge. No one will be allowed to
have an exclusive advantage. Our
financial inability to try things out on
a commercial basis makes 1t neces-
sary that we should allow some con-
Germ to do this: but it must be done
for the benefit of all and not to en-
able any one to obtain a monopoly
which may be used to the disadvan-
tage of his rivals in business
las an example of what this bureau
has accomplished by its research and
scientific work, i will cite what was
done by the laboratory investigation
of producing radium. 1t was selling
at the rate of $132.000 a gram and
now, under the method discovered by
the bureau. it has been made for $4,000
a gram.

she must run along when the train

the passengers have neglected to shut.
In a way it is a better job than the
ticket puneher has. for she has to hop

must be able to run faster than the

One Of the most prominent of those

Next come the girls who work on the

The ticket sellers have always been
men, but up until the war all the out
side workers and ticket punchers were
men. The job Of the knipferin. or the
woman ticket puncher. is a very hard
one, for she must stand all day in

stiff cardboard tickets. But she gets
better pay than the post girl, for she
receives three marks ten pfennigs $50

all she gets. for while her job is pleas
ant enough in summer, in winter it is
very cold one.

methods the millmen were able to re-

in grinding the ore for treatment, thus
causing a 3oss sufficient at times to
make the difference between paying
and a losing milling proposition. The
hotation treatment avoids this loss.
Throughout all the mining sections

In commercial practice the pulp. as
the mines call the ground ore carried in

lump sum OF 100000 year for It's
license to inject a little oil into its ore
pulp and to keep the mixture stirred;
and it has been calculated that thereby
1t takes care of all its shines and low
grade ores, with resulting saving OF
$4,000 a day. Its smelters treat over
1000 tons of ore every day in the
year; so a very small saving on the
pound of copper amounts to a big sum
Of money in the course of year.
Upon the development in Australia
of the fotation process. letters patent
thereon were secured in many coun-
tries-the United States among them
covering It's use. They were assigned
to this company, which has been gar
nering a great part of the fabulous
fortune which Miss Everson. the prim
school mistress, did not receive. Tor
nearly every one of the great copper
mining companies has paid sums pro
rata with the one in Montana for the
privilege of throwing a dash of oil into
its ore dtgestor and scraptng In Tie
froth from its great holder.
However, the validity Of these pat
ents has been questioned. and In an
courts have held that the principle OF
recovering metals by hotation IN OIL
was discovered and practiced by the
Denver school mistress. Miss Carrie J.
Everson, and that since her patents
have expired. the public has right to
use the process without Limitation
But the patentees claim that 1t was
their practice of agitating and aerating
the ore pulp which made the process
Of real value. and they have taken an
appeal which is now pending In the
United States Supreme Court Its re-
suit will be looked for with consider
able interest. not only on account OF
the great amounts involved to the
copper smelters. but also because all

The application of the process inter-

semi-precious metals, but also the

it will be at once SO effective and 90

took out letters patent covering a process
FOR extracting gold and other metals
very fortunately "other metals" for the
process applies equally to low grade ores
Of silver. copper, zinc and lead. These
patents have long since expired; otherwise
they would have value which would
make Midas pale with envy
The patentee seems 20 have made
some effort to test her process on a
commercial scale: for apparently she
attempted with one Criley. at Baker
City. Ore. to extract gold from ores
after they had been pulverized to a
powder. but while successful in re-
covering the precious metal. the
process. as applied by them, required
so much oil that they abandoned the
enterprise on account of the expense.
Her primitive method provided no
way Of lessening the quantity of oil or
of recovering a sufficiently large per-
centage of 1t to put the operation on
an economical basis.
Had she only gone a step or two
farther she might have fioated the gold
to the surface with the use of only
quart of oil to ton of ore. All she
had to do was to make a froth of the
mixture by stirring apparatus by
injecting air under pressure heavy
enough to make bubbles. These steps.

country have the women done so much
as in Germany. They seem willing
and capable of doing almost every kind
of work that is done by man.
In all the continental countries Of
Europe. even in times of peace. the
peasant women have done much hard
work that is considered a mans work
in America. In the rural districts they
\plow and till the soil, load hay into the
wagons and carry great bundles of
1sticks for the fires.

steep ladders.
But since the war there has sprung
up In Germany new class of women,
known as die frauen i'm verkehrseben,
or the women of the life in trade. These
women are not peasants. but class of
women and girls who are willing and
