 It was necessary to learn to control the most complicated transportation me- dium, the result of the brainiest and most daring expectations. We had to know how to force this mass of nearly 2O00 tons to obey our will so that 1t obeyed the least pressure on the rudder that it turned and unanswered as a tor pedo boat, that raised itself or dived in the sea as a balloon in the air.
 It was necessary to test the machines and see if you could depend upon them, to begin to understand if there were any possibilities or mistakes, or incompleted parts, to find out secrets in this fantastic fish-like being.

FALL HATS WILL BE AMERICANA
MADE, BUT HAVE ''PARIS" AIR
BY Betty Brown,
New York, Aug. 23.-New fall hats
will have Made in America" labels,
but also the lust from Paris" air
about them.
America is making her millinery at
home this season. The exclusive
few, of course, will wear Paris mod
els, but the hat you will meet every
day will be Of American design and
American make.
Millinery is no longer military, a
big hat importer told me.
Women are weary of war;" he
said when some of the designers
tried to give vogue to Mexican col
ors and Mexican designs, the adj
vance models were rejected"
After consultation with many
makers of millinery am able to make
this forecast as to fall hats.
The mushroom hat with deep, stiff
brim, will be THE hat of the early
fail season. The high-crowned
"stoVepipe" hat with tiny brim will
be popular-but not all OF us can
wear such severe headgear.
There's also little jockey cap rich
ly braided with soutach that is charm
ing and youthful, and then there is
the large hat Of velvet for formal aft
ernoon wear.
These dress-up" hats are invari-
ably Of velvet combined with tafetta.
The chief trimming is a shirTing on
crown and bFim, and metal flowers
in iTridescent colOFs.
Many new fall hats will have fur
edged brims. Mole and ermine are
good trimming for a velvet hat of

TUNGSTEN TEST.

Tungsten determination by a quick
method is that of W. L. Faust of
Deadwood, S. Oak. He uses a fusion
powder containing potassium ehlorate,
potassium nitrate, sodium carbonate,
and sugar. Taking about / gram of
this powder, mixed with an equal
amount of crushed ore Cf the ore is
low grade using pannings) an almost
instantaneous fusion is effected by
applying a match. The result of the
fusion is a granular mass, which is
rubbed moment in an agate mortar,
then placed in a test tube with hydro
chloric acid and sheet or granulated
zinc A little boiling will yield a blue
colored solution If tungsten is present
The test is one that can easily be
made in the field; the equipment ne
cessary TO conduct 1t can be carried
in coat pocket and it no doubt will
be widely used by prospectors

THE PRICE OF SILVER
AND CAUSE OF ADVANCE
COMMENT OF CONDITIONS THAT
HAVE HAD DIRECT BEAR.
ING ON SILVER.

Engineering and Mining JournaD
Since the squirt at the beginning OF
the year which carried silver up about
three cents, the price has remained
almost uniform the New York quota
ton varying by very small fractions
and holding between Sc and SIC per
ounce, thus keeping the January rise.
During the last week.. however there
was a sudden advance, which amount
ed in all to 8 "a cents, putting the
metal above 60 cents per ounce for the
first time since the outbreak of the
war. Whether this gain in price will
be held like that of last January,
seems rather uncertain, but the pres
ent indications are for continuing
demand.
The chief cause of this movement
IS found in large purchases for coin
age by European mints. Practically a
total withdrawal of gold from current
circulation has caused an unusual de-
mand for silver coins, and this has
been increased by the use of such
coins in large amounts in the pay
ment of soldiers and other govern
ment employees The quantity of sill
yer is probably larger than ever be-
fore, but it still seems to be INSULT
cient, and more is called for. 1t is a
notable development of an abnormal
financial situation
Demand From China.
The advance has been helped by an
increased demand for shipment to
China, which was hardly expected. In
dia has been slow buyer this year
It's purchase falling rather below the
usual average, while for half a year or
more China has bought little, even
selling silver at times. An improve

Incident TO his characterization. he
told the story of the pork barrel in
the western range country and how
the sheepmen or cattlemen would go
up and each grab out his piece of
pork.
The best available information,
however, dlscloses that the term pork
barrel" did not come into general use
such as 1t is given today, until 1889. A
river and harbor bill was pending, and
the fight over it was of character to
make 1t pure log rolling bill. Com
binations were being formed in SEN
ate and house and daily the combina-
ton was being strengthened by incor-
porating in the bill some item that
would insure additional votes for the

One day Frank A. DePuy, assistant

was impressed with the methods pur-
sued to get support for the bill. That
night he wrote detailed dispatch to

the river and harbor bill as a pork
barrel measure, and went to much
pains to show how this senator and

extraordinary hardness of the gold
