DEMANDROR MANGANESE
some EASY TESTS OF ORE
METAL PRACTICALLY UNKNOWN
IN NATIVE STATE-MOST
COMMON FORMS.

In circular put out by the Colo
RADIO school of mines there is much
Information about a comparatively
metal.s manganese. This
is one of the metals that have come
into prominence because of the war
Prior to 1914, large part of the ores
and alloys of manganese used in this
country was imported. With the out
break of the war the steel makers of
the United States suddenly found
themselves short of an almost indis-
pensable metal. The natural result
was rapid rise in the price of all
manganese material and the reopen
ing and the energetic development of
manganese mines that had not been
operated for years. The widespread
search for manganese resulted in the
discovery of many new deposits.
Many persons will be surprised to
learn that, in point of tonnage. the
amount of manganese reduced from
its ores is exceeded only by that of
iron, copper. lead and zinc. For more
than fifty years manganese has been
used in the manufacture of steel and
is now regarded as almost indispens-
able in the production Of steel of
every grade.
PecuIiarities of the Metal.
AS metal. unalloyed with other
metals, manganese is practically I'M
known 1t is so unstable when re-
'duced that it decomposes in water like
potassium or sodium, with the evolu-
ton Of hydrogen. 1t oxidizes rapidly
in moist air. 1t is very hard and
brittle. 1t is extremely difficult to re-
duce from it's ores except in combin-
alton with some other metal. as iron.
1t melts at high temperature and is
rather volatile. In short, manganese
as an unalloyed metal is of no COM
mercial Importance and most steel
makers have never seen sample OF
it.
There are a hundred mineral spe-
ciAs containing manganese but only
few are Of commercial Importance.
The most important are the oxides.
The most common ore of manganese is
pyrousite, popularity called black oxide
OF manganese. 1t is easily recog-
nized because of it's inky blackness
the blacker it is, the purer the ore.
1t varies from grayish black to blush
black. Pyrolusite is rather soft with
a specific gravity of 4.S. When pure
the mineral contains 63.2 per cent
manganese. Next. in importance is
Ipsilomelane, also grayish black or
blush black. It is much harder but
lighter than pyrolusite with specific
gravity of from 81 to AZ.
Tests of Ore.
Manganese is easily recognizable
the inky black color being character
istic. The tests are these: Heat
small amount Of ore with sodium car
Donate or with little nitre. A small
/ 6lScll Wal pO piouuSSN
Nitre is not necessary with black OK
ides. Chlorine test: Place little of
the powdered ore in a tea cup or
beaker and add little muriatic or
hydrochloric acid. A greenish yellow
gas will be given off If manganese
doxde is present.
The U. S. geological survey has an
important bulletin on production and
sale of manganese.
Beside the very important use OF
manganese in the manufacture of stee
of all kinds, it is used in the manu-
facture of wet or dry batteries, some
times in manufacture Of glass. brick
and pottery, paint and various chem
ical industries.

BETTER THAN CAL0MEL.
Thousands Have Discovered DR..
Edwards Olive Tablets are
aHarmlesS Substitute.

DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets-the substi.
tute for calomel - are a mild but sure
laxative, and their effect on the liver is
almost instantaneous. They are the result
of DR.. Edwards determination not to treat
liver and bowel complaints with calomel-
His efforts to Danish it brought out these
little olive-colored tablets.
These pleasant little tablets do the good
that calomel does, but have no bad after
effects. They don't injure the teeth like
strong liquids or calomel. They take hold
of the trouble and quickly correct it. Why
cure the liver at the expense Of the teetha
Calomel sometimes plays havoc with the
gums. So do strong liquids. 1t is best not
to take calomel, but to let DR.. Edwards
Olive Tablets take its place.
Most headaches, "dullness" and that
lazy feeling come from constipation and
a disordered liver. Take DR.. Edwards
Olive Tablets when you feel doggy" and
heavy" Note how they 'tclear" clouded
brain and how they ''perk up" the spirits.

its corporal. The quarantine held up
the plans but they will go into effect
with the special system of record

Recommendation Adopted.

committee was appointed at the
January meeting to look into pro-
gram OF physical work in the summer
time, and to confer with Director
. turner over a program. The com
mittee Is composed of j. f. Lutz, l.
"A. Hamill and G. F. Skirvin. A meet.
ing of the committee was held soon
after it's appointment and the play
ground idea was discussed. The
committee made a canvass of some
available property and secured some
prices for the ground. The physical
director furnished an outline of the
grounds and of the apparatus needed.
1t was felt then that the physical
welfare Of the students was consid-
erably better this year, due to the
physical education program being
worked out under Director Turner'S
instruction. 1t was felt, also, tina.
the proper summer work could not
be carried on except in centrally
located space, big enough to really
be worth something to the children
of the community
The committee reported last night
at the board meeting, and recon.
mended the purchase of the land.
The board members unanimously
adopted the recommendation and Or
dered the committee to go ahead
with the purchase. This was done
today when the first steps were taken
in the negotiations.
