Strange Developments.


Strange Developments.
Suddenly both vsrda and the HID
den Hand started involuntarily.
There was a low wail-hslf Erowl.
half yslp. a thing OF terror. 1t
seemed TO come from the depths
mufrled-Rlmost as II from the clock
itself. The Hidden Hand quickly re-
covered himself.
Just then the clock door opened
and another Hindoo stepped forth.
stopping amazed and chaErinsd a.
II at revealing a secret TO strangers.
The clock door was false, the PEN
dulum swinging Independently and
having no connection with the clock
above, which had its own works.
Verda looked more sharply. A
dark passage was disclosed.
Advance" ordered Rahnee to the
Hindoo. who came forward.
The sacred Tiger grows worse
and we have no sacrifice"
As he said II. his eyes wandered
TO Verda. Her very glance sug-
gested human sacrifice. Verda
shrank back. as with a wave OF her
hand Rahnee negatlved to the Hin
doc.
But the Hidden Hand now moved
closer and leaned over Rahnee,
whispering. as he finished: If I
bring the girl here. then you will
have sacrihce."
RAhnes agreed, while the Hindoo
eyes cleaned. She rose and moved
over to a cabinet, beckonlng Verda
who followed fearfully. Rshnes
took q small box from the cabinet
and handed II to her.
Paint the porrieres OF Doriss,
room In the form OF a man" she
directed
And" added the Hidden Hand
menacingly, speak to Doris Of her
dead father Just before she sleepA
Rahnes will DO the rest"
In whispers inaudible RRhnse and.
the Hidden Hand continued plan
ming until finally. with Vsrda, he
went out.
Below, In q subtsrransan vault or
cellar, might have been seen
large room. At one end was a cage.
and in the cage. pacing up and
down. lashing his tail and in a fury.

Eastern manufacturers will have to
turn to Kansas City and the middle
West for their supply of sulphuric
acid during the war. Prof. Erasmus
Haworth, dean of the Mining school,
has made a survey of reports of pro-
ducers in various portions of the coun-
try and finds that the West will soon
be depended upon entirely for the sup
ply of sulphur and sulphuric acid.
The main supply of this acid will
come from the zinc district around
Baxter Springs, Kan, and Miami,
Okla, and in part around the Joplin
(Mo.) zinc district. The Joplin dis
trict was always known as n of the
largest zinc fields in America, but the
discovery of the field around Baxter
Springs, the extent of which is I'M
known, makes it the largest in the
world. With this field being properly
developed the output of zinc will be
enormous, and as this zinc Is smelted
the sulphur can be collected from the
gases, making a supply of sulphur for
sulphuric acid that will more than
luScL lllt QCuldlbo III thO OhltSo
during the war.
No New Process Necessary.
At the present time only about 10
per cent of the sulphur is saved at
these smelterS. To IVA the entire
supply no new process or invention is
necessary, as the process has been in
use in some places for 35 years. The
United Zinc and Chemical company
of Kansas is already one of the larg-
est sulphuric acid producers in the
Missouri valley. This company uses
the ores in the Joplin district. With
the eastern concerns closed on account
of the high cost of transporting min
erals to the East, the western firms
will enlarge their shelters and amply
supply the entire United States, Pro-
fessor Haworth points out.
The question of adequate sulphuric
acid supply came before the chemists
of the country at the recent conven-
ton of the American Institute of Min
ing Engineers in st. Louis. The east
ern companies reported that the United
States was threatened with a short
age of sulphuric acid, since the sup
ply of pyrite, which had been import
ed, was cut off. Biologists in the West
and South are now asking the eastern
chemists and manufacturing compa-
MES to turn to the West for the sup
ply. Sulphur is being mined in Louisi-
ana and Texas in vast quantities now
as fast as the market will consume it.
Near the mouth of the BraZos river,
in Texas, sulphur is in high piles
awaiting transportation.
