Cadmium Found in Zinc Ores.

Cadmium, a metallic element dlscov-
cred In 1917 by Stronger, is not
found native, but occurs as the sui
phide In the mineral g~reenockite, and
In association with zinc ores. Green
ockite is found in Bohemia and in
Hungary, and also In Lehigh county,
Pennsylvania, but in too small guam
titles to be of commercial importance.
Cadmium Is a constituent of most zinc
ores, and as it Is more volatile than
zinc 1t passes over first, In the reduc-
ton of such ores, as cadmium oxide.
This is collected, mixed with charcoal,
and the mixture heated in iron tubes,
from which the cadmium distills over
in a more or less impure state. In
order to purify ii, the metal is redis-
titled and the product dissolved in
hydrochloric acid, from which solution
metallic cadmium is precipitated with
zinc. Most of the cadmium of com
merce comes from Sllesia, but small
quantities are produced in the Joplin
(Mo.) district.

"VAMPS" WHO
MADE HISTORY
THE VAMPIRE WHO WON MIL
LIONS.
By JAMES c. YOUNG.
20 by Mcclure NEWSPAPER Syndicate

Q HE was a woman beloved by two
- kings. She sold the secrets of
each to the other, and made millions
in the process.
Louis NV first loved dainty Louise
de la Querouaille. But the historians
say that she proved unfaithful to her
royal admirer. Louis did not let this
prevent him from sending her to Eng
land in the train of a court lady bound
there on a visit of state. And he told
Louise to captivate Charles II of Eng
land. Then she was to send him
news of England's statecraft and to
influence Charles so that he would
make concessions which the French
monarch wanted. For all of which
Louis engaged to pay her handsomely.
Louise found the occupation such
an easy one that she decided 1t would
be just as simple to sell Charles news
of Louis and his policies. So she re-
ceived much gold from both kings, but
it is said that she never informed
Charles of anything more than trivial
matters, remaining loyal to her own
land.
This double traffic made Louise q
very rich oma But her ambition
craved greater honors. She persuad-
ed the English king to make her
duchess of Portsmouth, and as such
she was thoroughly despised by the
English people. In addition to
dealing In secrets of state she
welded her influence at the two courts
to obtain many political appointments,
for which she was duly paid by the
a%ppointees. But Louise was not suf-
ficientIy wise to hold all of this money,
for she became a devotee of the gam
ing tables and lost large amounts with
a superb Indifference. At home she
induced Louis to give her a high
position In the French court, telling
Charles that her visits to Paris were
for the purpose of obtaining lnforma-
ton about the plans of Louis. Then
Charles suddenly died, In 1885. His
successor, James II, packed Louise Off
to France, bag and baggage. Much Of
her wealth had been dissipated. She
found herself without an occupation,
her English possessions lost, and only
a scanty welcome at home. And in
the course of a little while she dis
appeared from court, her purse pen
niless. Louis paid heed to her mis-
fortunes and granted a small pension
which served to sustain the arch spy
and vampire for the remainder o. her
brief days.

Many a man and many a woman

due to lack of endurance-to blood
that has become weakened by over
work or s%training.

First Practical Reaper.

Cyrus II. Mccormick made the first
successful reaper. He built it as a
boy without his fathers knowing it
and tried it out n fall. 1t was not
entirely a success, but he made some
changes and tried 1t again. Finally
in 1881 he made his first successful
reaper. says Farm and Fireside. He
kept on making improvements and
In 1884 had a machine good enough
to patent. He offered them for sale
for $50 apiece, but ne one would
buy. Finally in 1899 he invited a
lot of farmers to see it work. 1t
cut two acres an hour. That was
really wonderful in those days, but
still no one would buy 1t. The next
year, 1910, a man at Egypt, Va,
bought the first machine and paid $50
FOR it. 1t worked, and faith in the
new invention began to spread.

the boy stealing and he said there was
a scuff1e, because the boy tried to bite
his hand. He told of Mr.. Bowser's in

(S. 1921, by Mcclure Newspaper Syndicate.)
Dinner was ready at the usual hour,
but Mr.. Bowser had not appeared.
Mrs. Bowser waited three minutes,
and then began to worry.
Why didn't Mr.. Bowser come?
Had he gone on a fishing excursion
and been wrecked, and perhaps been
cast on q lone island, miles and miles
at sea? He might have gone up in a
flying machine and taken a drop. He
might have gone out into the country
to buy a piece of land to raise grass
hoppers.
Half-past six, and no Mr.. Bowserl
Mrs. Bowser put on her hat and
walked up to the car line. She stood
on the corner for a quarter of an hour,
and no Mr.. Bowser. She returned to
the house to telephone, but who could
she telephone to? Who kept track and
trace of Mr.. Bowser?
The cook came up to console her,
and she did it by saying:
do not worry, Mrs. Bowser. If Mr..
Bowser has fallen off the roof of a
building and been smashed all to jelly,
that's the end of him, and you can't
help him any by worrying. He may
have climbed a tree and is afraid to
come down."
Mrs. Bowser was moving toward the
telephone, when it began to ring. She
answered very quickly.
