Nearly everybody is familiar with
the tungsten flament electric lamp.
but few are aware that the filaments
which give so effective light are
made from metal without eyer having
been fused. The melting point or
tungsten is about 5000 degrees {.
(5.432 degrees F), temperature
which has been beyond that attainable
in any ordinary meraiiurgcal furnace.
method of actually fusing this re-
fractory metal has now. it is said by
German authority, been devised by
Berlin engineer. which will permit
of the metal being cast in any desired
form, and of being subsequently
worked into any malleable. shape. in

over his body and tried to say a

Mountain Goat'Most Sure-FOoted
of All Animals.
Hunter Tells of Remarkable Perform
ance He Witnessed in the Rocky
Notwithstanding Exhibit
ton of Calm Confidence.

"To me the most wonderful thing
about the mountain goat is his mind,"
writes DR.. William r.. Hornaday, direc-
tor of the New York Geological park,
in I'M article on "The Rocky Mountain
Goat at Home" in Boys Life. HE is
so calm and self-contident, so level
headed and sure-fOOted, that often and
often he marches and climbs where no
other four-footed animal of North
America dares to follow him. | never
get over my original amazement and
admiration of his summit work.
."EaNy in our studies of white goats
in that goat paradise we were treated
to an exhibition Of climbing that
opened our eyes. AS we were passing
across tiny goat pasture at the foot :
of a rocky precipice we surprised IL
party of four goats on the side of the
wall, about 100 feet up. We halted, to
see what they would do. The face OF
the rock wall was reasonably rough,
but it could not have been more than
ten degrees from being perpendicular.
"Two goats, stood safely upon the
summit. looking down on their entrlp-
ped comrades. The unlucky four could
have been shot as easily as picking
grapes; but it is not all Of goat-hunt-
ing to kill goats!
"Findng that they were not being
shot at, the four goats started to get
away from us by climbing straight up
the face of that precipice! For ten
minutes we watched an amazing eX-
hibition. Each goat chose an indie
pendent course, REACHED up with his
front feet for a foothold, then, by
sheer muscular strength lifted his
heavy body up the three or four feet
to be gained. Often sidestepping was
| necessary to find Il new foOthold; but
there were no slips, and never once Il
turning back.
"They climbed in that way about 200
feet willie we watched them, then
reached easy going and quickly disap-
peared over the summit. We hunters
all agreed that no mountain sheep
could make a climb like that; but OF
course we don't really know.
Several times we saw goats serene
ly promenade across the faces OF per-
pendicuar cliffs of bare rock so smooth
that no sign of ledge or path was WIS.,
ible to us, even with our glasses. IN
every such case it looks as If the ami
nal were walking on air. The feet
are planted with great precision ana
firmnesS. and this imparts to the ami
NAL stir gait, and the general ap-
pearance OF a mechanical' toy in mo-
ton.
