breakfast scene in which French
gentleman and his housekeeper had a

and E amor McElroy took the part OF
the housekeeper.
The second sketch was scene ba-
tween two French children. The part
Of Henri, q ten year old boy, was TAX

the part Of YYonne, a nine year old
girl. Quite an animated conversation
was carried on between the two, in
which Henri asks Yvonne to marry
him. AzoE the dog Of Yvonne's,

barks were better understood than the

MICROSCOPIC ORGANISMS
 IN FORMATION IRON ORE

Geologists are realizing more fully as they extend their studies the mag nitude of the work done by plants and animals in building up and tearing down parts of the crust of the earth. Even microscopic organisms perform large part of this work. Pasteur long ago showed us the deadly power of bacteria in disease and their eff ciency in promoting fermentation, but their influence on the fertility of soils and their work in expediting rock de- cay are still subjects of scientific study.
 Bacteria evidently not only aid in the decomposition of rocks and in the formation of beds of chalk and lime stone, las has recently been demon strated, but are active agents in the deposition of some beds of iron ore. Engineers have learned that iron-de- posting bacteria may be troublesome pests through their ability to clog the pipes of city water-supply systems with hard, thick crusts and slimy, rusty masses composed of millions of individual bacteria. MT. E. c. Harder of the United States Geological Sur vey, Department of the Interior, who has\examined deposits of iron ore in many countries for the special pur- poses of determining their mode of origin, has recently made close studies I of the action of bacteria in forming iron ores. He has found the so-called "iron bacteria" actively engaged in the deposition of compounds of iron not only in surface iron-bearing wat CTS but in mine waters to depths of several hundred feet and has made laboratory cultures of various iron depositing bacteria. The results of these studies have just been published by the Survey as a paper entitled "Iron-depositing bacteria and their geologic relations" Professional Paper 113).
 MT. Harder describes the iron-de- posting bacteria, gives the results of his laboratory experiments in bacterial iron deposition, considers the probable extent of the influence of bacterial ac- tion in forming deposits of iron ore, and gives a, bibliography containing the titles of many papers on the work of bacteria in rock and ore deposition.
 Professional Paper 113 can be ob- tained from the Director of the United States Geological Survey at Washing ton, D. c.

MINE TAXATION
 TO BE DISCUSSED

Chicago, Ill.,, Sept. 13.-Mine own CTS and mining engineers from every section of the country will present opinions to government representa- ltives on the taxation of mines at the meeting of the American Institute of Mining and Metallurgical Engineers which will be in session here during the week of September 22nd. Mine taxation at present ranks with the subjects of most pressing importance to the mining world. At their meeting the mining engineers and government officials will discuss methods of determining mine valua- tions with view to establishing tax laws for the mines which will take in- to account the wasting assets of the mining industry.
 The meeting is being held at the request of the Commissioner of h. ternal Revenue who will be represent ed by Dr. L. c. Graton of the ValuA- tion Section of the Bureau.
 In addition to this matter, the min ing engineers will hold important dis ,cussions> on coal supply and on pyro- metry in which several new methods for the measurement of high temper atures will be presented for. the first time.
 This meeting of the American 1n- stitute which is it's 120th will include trips of inspection to the Gary Steel Plant, the La Salle District, the coal fields of Franklin and Macoupin Counties, the industrial activities of North Chicago and Milwaukee, the re- fineries of East Chicago and Whiting and nearly every kind of metallurgical and manufacturing industry in Chi cago.
 The officers of the American ln- stituta of Minings and Metallurgical Engineers are as follows: Horace ". Winchen, President; Albert R. Le- doux, First President; George D. Barron, Treasurer; Bradley Stough- ton, Secretary.
