WONDERFUL WEALTH
 IN COAL, IRON, ETC.

China is favored with a wonderful ply of iron ore, two essentials to modern industrial development. To indicate how little China has develop ed it's marvellous wealth in coal, the country imported, during 1917, 14,- 100000 tons. It is estimated that China produces now 20,000,000 tons annually, but it is supposed to have richer resources in coal than has the United States which, in 1918, pro- duced $50. 100000 tons. In iron ore 1t has been estimated that China has 400, 100000 tons. suitable for furnace reaction. and an additional 00,0O0.- 900 tons which might be worked by native methods. During 1917 it is es- timated that China's production of pig iron was 500. 1000 tons. The devel- opment in the iron and steel industry in China are making rapid strides and a few years hence it is expected that the production of pig iron and of finished steel will be several mill lions of tons annually. The United States estimates a production of 45,- 900, 900 of which is expected to go to France. In antimony and tin China is also particularly rich, and coqsid- erab1e progress has taken place in the mining and smelting of these ores during the past few years. China should jealously safeguard its min eral wealth, so as to preserve 1t for the country's welfare.

EGGS IN CAKE.

In using eggs in cake or quick dough mixtures, the following sus- gestions, offered by Miss Maude F. Hayes cf the Extension Service of Connecticut Agricultural College, may be found of use.
 When a hollow cake such as pop overs. desired. add yolks and whites, without separating, to the milk and beat into the dry materials. When spongy texture is desired, beat whites and yoIks separately, add yolks 70 the milk, and fold in the stiffy beaten whites at the last.
 Besides giving a certain hghtness and fneness of texture to cakes, eggs help 10 hold together the various in gradients. As the amount of short ening and the tenderenss of the cake increase, an increase in the number of eggs will help to overcome the ten dency of the cake to fall apart. Egg whites are especially useful in this capacity.
 In making a sponge cake, the long beating of the eggs necessary to in sure a light cake renders the cake dry; this may be remedied by using a greater number of yolks than whites. The yolk of the egg cannot be beaten as light as the white be- cause one-third of it is composed of fat and the presence of this fat pre- vents the yolk from being elastic enough to entangle and hold air as does the white when well beaten.
 In altering a cake recipe by using additional whites in place of yolks more fat should be used in the pro- portion of one teaspoonful of fat for each additional white. If the number of eggs in a cake is increased, de- crease the baking powder provided the proportions of flour and sugar are not charged. In general one tea spoonful of baking powder will re- place one egg, but the cake will be more crumbly with baking powder than with eggs, will lack the rich ness of color and flavor given by the yolks and will dry out rapidly, SC should be eaten soon after mak- ing.

1H11 TREND OF PRICES.

Since the war broke out in 1914 we have witnessed three distinct price tendencies with the governing factors largely peculiar to the re- spective movements. The first was rise in prices caused by the insatia- ble demand for a wide list of articles embraced in the catalogue of war ne cessities. So insistent was this de- mand thata genuine scarcity arose in many lines and civilian industrial needs were forced to step aside when governmental purchases were given the right of way. No one could have estimated the prices that might have been paid had civilian requirements competed with buying for war pur- poses.
 eSS sooner was there a suggestion that hosulities were nearing an end than prices began to halt. The ex- pectation of n peace rise" in com modity prices was based on false premises. It has been assumed that = great buying movement would set & 50 repair wars ravages in Euro- ~,N--that steel. copper, cotton and other raw materials to say nothing of a vast output of crude and finished manufactures would be called for by the cx-belligerents.
 
 Buyers know tha tproduction had been at amaximum level and that stocks were large. They also knew that 1t cost money 10 carry those stocks, and the longer they waited the heavier the load would become. Prospective purchasers adopted a waiting policy. Sellers became anxt- ous and concessions were made to move stocks. Prices declined gen
 
 most pronounced in copper, cotton. steel and other great staples Food prices slipped off also, as 1t was known that the supplies of meat pro duets and wheat were at record levels in this country.
 Many articles did not decline at all. notably leather goods and petro- leum products.
 New Upward Tendency
 Lately there has been a stiffening of prices. Foods have advanced all along the line. Cotton and cotton goods have advanced. Copper seems to be begged around present levels. and there is a strong difference of opinion about the necessity or wis dom of a further drop in steel prices Tn equestion arises as to whether we are now fin the edge of another and even greater advance in prices
 It will be noted that new and sep arnte influences have been responsi- ble for each movement. First came the scarcity demand resulting from war needs until November, 1918. Then came a temporary decline duo to the hesitancy of buyers who were sceptical about the ability of the world 10 absorb maximum produc- ton at maximum prices. The infiu- cnce which will cause a renewed ad- vancing tendency will be in1ation
 This aftcor was evident during the war. but 1t wrs not the dominant force. Government buying easily outclassed all other influences. A further great rise in prices should serve to convince all sceptics of the validity of tho quantitative theory o money It may be true that neither buyer norr seller considers the tota1 per capita circulation of money in making transactions. but the scarcity or plethora of the circulating me dium affects prices quite apart from individual consideration of this eIe- ment. It-fs an intangible force tha operates without being voluntaril, evoked.

DANTE AND oALmArlA.

An Italian magazine writer has
brought forward the information, iii
tone at once anxious and whim-
steal, that Dante nowhere in his
writings makes mention Of Dalma-
tia. lie tells ms discovery, if dis
coyery il should be called, with the
assurance of one who has examined
all the facts-that is to say, of one
who has diligently gone through ell
the Dante concordances, and looked
up every reference that has the
slightest chance of bearing on the
subject Then after declaring that
the great Florentine, though pro-
foundly interested in the Austrian
problem, as it stood in the thirteenth
century, has nothing to say about
Dalmatia, the writer goes on to indi-
cate that the Italian people must
work out their Adriatic argument on
other grounds than those Of poetic
justice, at least as far as that kind
of justice is expounded in the On
ferno."

NEW IDEA IN NICKEL PLATING
Process Which Does the Work Rapidly
VIII Soon Be Brought Into
General Use.

A rapid process Of nickel plating
has been developed in England, ac-
cording to the Practical Engineer.
The common practice is to work at
10 to go amps. per square foot. using
concentrated solutions. But this has
been improved upon. 1t was found
that high-grade commercial cobalt
plating could be achieved in three
minutes when working at $50 amps.
per square foot and solution of 3l2
grammes Of auhydrous cobalt sui
plate per liter. The same practice
was then applied to nickel plating,
but it was found that the nickel
anode was apt to become passive, re-
sulting in the generation of acid,
which cut down efficiency and pro-
duced hydrogen at the cathode. This
difficulty has been overcome by add
ing a small quantity of chloride and
heating the solution. This done, a
25-gallon nickel cast can be worked
at 1875 to 1850 amps. per square foot,
producing heavy durable deposit in
five minutes.
