full with its grim. living tide of fight

rOared and shrieked with pride and ap-

From the ponderOus six.inch howitzers

grotesque trench mOrtars the full

there. From the thick clustered hay-

NO DANGER OF IRON FAMINE
Methods of Extracting Ore Will Keep
Pace With Demand That Is Bound
to Be Enormous.

That iron is the very basis of our
industrial civilization will be admitted
by the thoughtful, and many of our
greatest supplies of iron ore are be-
ing rapidly depleted because of the
increased per capita consumption OF
iron the world over, an increase which
is destined to be greater in the future
when the races in Asia and Africa in
crease their consumption of iron.
These conditions of increasing con-
sumption and decreasing reserves have
often in the past, particularly about
the beginning of this century, been
used to create scare, on the ground
that our supplies of disable ore were
being so rapidly depleted that their
exhaustion would occur within two or
three generations.
This is a preposterous point of view,
asserts Chemical Engineering, because
as we lower the percentage Of iron in
the rock which.we call ''ore" the guam
tity of such ore increases at a rate out
of all proportion to the decrease in
leaner ores technical improvements
will be made which will minimize any
tendency to increased cost of produc-
ton. The same thing has happened
in gold, silver, copper and ether ores,
and today copper ores are being work
ed with only 1 1-15 per cent of copper
in them.

No Social Barriers in Turkey.

To those unfamiliar with Turkish
customs it may seem strange that
Talaak Pasha, who has just resigned
the highest dignity in the Ottoman en-
pire, should have been earning his liv-
ing only few years ago as an obscure
telegraph clerk. Yet such big jumps
are perhaps easier in Turkey than in
any other country. For although the
Ottoman Turks often show the utmost
contempt for the numerous subject
races that help to make up the Turk
ish empire, they recognize no social
barriers among themselves. In the
eyes of the sultan all are equal. Thus
it may easily happen that, given the
necessary ability, even an emancipated
Ottoman slave may become grand vi
zier, and perhaps marry into the sui
tan'S own family.
