BODY BLOW |S GIVEN
 MINING COMPANIES IN COURT DECISION
Those Who Use the Mineral Separa- tion Process Involved; More Than Two and Half Million Dollars Have Been Expended in This Liri- gation.

BUTTE, Mont, June 12.-Millions are involved and many mining com panies in the country are affected by a decision of the United States Su- preme Court handed down at Wash ington Monday. A body blow was de- livered to all producing companies whose use of the minerals separation process involved them in the techni- calities of the courts holding. More than two and a half millions of dol lars have been expended in the liti- gation, which was ended by the Su- preme Court decree reversing the de- cision of the circuit court of appeals at San Francisco, which held that the Minerals Separation Company's pat ents covered the so-called Notation process when limited to the use of one-half of l per cent. or less, of oil. Minerals Separation had held that their patents covered any fraction of 1 per cent. The court upholds that contention.
 In December, 1916, the United States Supreme Court decided in favor
 
 Hyde, upholding the patent of the Minerals Separation process, which was patented ill 1905 after the dis covery of the process for producing a mineral bearing froth as the result of the use of oil and mechanical agita- tion. In April. 1917, the United States 1 District Court at Butte decided that !tL Q was identical with that against Hyde. l In August, 1917, the same court handed down decision that the Butte & Superior Mining Company, by use of more oil in Notation than was used in the Minerals Separation pat 1 the patent, and the mining company was ordered to furnish bond of $2,500 900 and to deposit all of it's earnings above actual operating eX- penses with the court until an appeal had finally been adjudicated
 i In May, 1918, the United States Cir cult Court of Appeals at San Fran cisco decided favorably on an appeal from the decision of the district court at Butte, and the following month the United States Court at Helena re voked the injunction against the min ing company ordered by the higher court, thus relieving the Butte & Su perior of the necessity of making such deposits and monthly reports. pro viding the company used more than one-half of one per cent of oil, or more than 10 pounds of petroleum to tor of ore treated by the Notation process A writ of certiorari was granted to the Minerals Separation Company. and al order was made restraining the Butte & Superior from disposing of its as sets, pending the final decision hy the Supreme Court, which has just beer recorded.
 The American Mining Congress ha. filed with the Federal Trade Commis sion a complete brief in support of it: charge that the Minerals Separation Company, by it's business methods an( the onerous terms of it's license con tracts, is using unfair methods of com petition and asks the right to inter vene in behalf of the mining industry of the west. This brief is now unde consideration by the Federal Trade Commission.

Some interesting tests have been

zine, in an attempt to demonstrate the
possibility of eliminating the revers-
ing turbines of ships. The action is
described as follows:
For normal cruising the plates are
folded together. A double steering
wheel is employed. When locked, the
W members turn as one. AT other
times, when the two wheels are thrown
in opposite directions. the leaves of
the rudder are adjusted to desired
angles. The equipment gives a boat a
brake that is quick-acting; 1t enables
reversement of direction with the en-
CINE running full speed ahead, and
permits a craft to be turned In its
own length. The demonstration boat
is able to reverse direction from full
speed ahead In nine seconds"

NOW SHORTAGE OF CANDLES
British Food Ministry Seeks Method by
Which II May Be Enabled to
Regulate Supplies.

News is coming from many parts
of the country that the shortage OF
candles Is increasing owing TO the fact
that many people who did not use them
before are now supplementing then
gas and electric light rations by their
use. 1t Is becoming more clear every
day that some means must be adopted
to insure that householders in rural
districts, where there is TO gas or cleo
tricity, have an adequate supply OF
illuminants. Important national indus
tries which cannot well be carried on
without an adequate candle supply
must also be protected. A scheme for
controlling candle supplies is engaging
the attention of the ministry of food.
During and since last winter there
has been a candle shortage. The oils
and fats branch Of the ministry of food,
within whose view this matter comes,
have received numerous complaints
from rural councils and individuals OF
the difficulty Of getting supplies and OF
retail prices going up by leaps and
bounds. There Is evidence Of a new
demand having sprung up within the
last six weeks, accentuating last win

BAT AT HOME EVERYWHERE
Species Of the Race Vary as Widely
as Their Habits-Not Especially
Deadly to Mosquitoes.

As q group bats are of worldwide
distribution except In the inhospita-
BILE polar regions. They are real man.
mails and present an extraordinary
variation In size. from tiny little crea-
lures, almost as small and fragile as
butterflies, to the huge fruit bats, with
a spread of wings like that Of a wild
goose.
The heads Of bats are strangely
sculptured, some being smoothly con-
toured and shaped like those of little
foxes; Others appear like miniature
bulldogs; and still others have curious
cartilaginous nose-leaves upright on
the muzzle. Some have the entire face
nodded into a hideous mask repulsiye
to look upon.
Their habits are equally varied to
meet special conditions: Some are
eaters of fruit alone; others feed sole
ly upon insects, while others bite other
mammals, including man, for the pur-
pose of drinking the oozing blood, upon
which they subsist. All are nocturnal,
but some appear late in the afternoon,
before the sun sets. Most species,
however. wait until the shades of
night have covered the earth.
Throughout the world the majority
of the species of bats feed upon in
sects, but there are many fruit eat
ers. The teeming insects and plant
life of the tropics afford a never-fail-
ing food supply, and the center of
abundance Of these animals is found
there. In some localities between 20
and 80 kinds of bats exist, with such
vast numbers Of individuals that the
bat population far outnumbers all 9TH
er kinds of mammals combined.

War COINAGE In Germany.

Due to metal shortage Germany has
instituted iron coinage. The fraction
al mark coins are no longer of copper
and nickel. but are forgings Of Sic
mens-Martin steel. The coinage OF
copper was discontinued In 1917. Alu-
minum had been coined to a small ex-

coins, one and two pfennig pieces, are
now made of aluminium. which is more
attacked by ordinary water, soda,
salts, etc. than by distilled water.
Zinc coins have recently been intro
duced. Zine coins had been used In
French Indo-China; they are again
more apt to corrode, especially when
impure with lead, cadmium and iron,
In distilled water than in ordinary wa
