NEW WAY DISCOVERED
.OF MAKING SALTPETER
Does Not Require Large Quantities
of Electricity and Extremely
High Temperature.
By Science Service.


BERLIN, July 81. What is de-
scribed as a new method of making
saltpeter, which is used among other
things. as fertilizer, from the ele-
nents of the air, has been discovered
by Prof. K. A. Hoffman of the Uni.
versity Of Charlottenburg. Unlike
earlier processes. this method does not
require the use of large quantities of
electricity and extremely high tenn
peratures.
In Prof. Hofman's process, ammonia
gas, which can be made from nitrogen
from the air and hydrogen from
water, is mixed with air and passed
through a mixture of caustic soda and
chalk with burnt clay, to which
small amount of carbonate of copper
or nickel is added. This reaction takes
place rapidly at temperatures of about
ESQ degrees Fahrenheit.
1t is stated that II the gases are
compressed the action is FASTENED.
and that between 80 per cent and 81
per cent Of the ammonia can be In
duced to form sa.ltpeter.

to go to Ferris Hot Springs, thence
to Salesville and then right up the
West Gallatin river until we strike
the northwestern edge of the Park a
few miles from the Norris Geyser
basin.
"The right of way can easily be
secured, and the road would not be
a difficult one to build or operate
The average grade is not over Az
feet wide to the mile, For the first
Is miles the farmers would gladly do
the grading and the company would
have to build it the rest Of the way.
The average cost would be about
$4,000 a mile and the road could be
built entire in 80 days. The traffic
would be immense and the road would
pay from the start. 1t would be a
bigger thing for BOzeman than 10
capitals. The route would be a better
one than the Park branch of the Nor
them Pacific.
"The railroads would be glad to
enter into a traffic arrangement, and
IN addition to carrying thousands OF
tourists to and from the Park every
year, there would be extensive
freight business. Farmers would use
the electric freight cars to send their
produce to market, and would find the
cars a great convenience when going
to town.
"The business Of carrying parties Of
tourists to the Park is annually in.
creasing, and the proposed electri'
line would reach an entrance to the
Park which is much more desirable
than Cinnabar. There is EXTENSIVE
water power along the line Of TIT
contemplated road and this could b.
utilized by the railroad to very grea
advantage, furnishing all the powe
it would need"

new line have almost unlimitd finan

ahead, as many expect they will

Sheriff White Caldwell escorted
John White and George Wilson, the
two tramps and jaiIbirds who have
been in his custody several weeks, to
the penitentiary at Deer Lodge last
Saturday. Each has a year to serve.
The sheriff went by way of Butte,
locking his two pets up over night
in the Butte Jail.
There the pair were instantly rec
ognized. by quite a number of the 88
in the institution. On the train to
Deer Lodge, Wilson and White stated
to Mr.. Caldwell that they had given
the inmates at Butte a good account
of BOzeman." The Butte prisoners
get only two meals a day, while at
Bozeman three is the order of things.
"YOu keep your eyes Open,' said
Wilson to the sheriff. "Some Of
those fellows will be over to Bczeman
soon. Their sentences, or quite a
number of them expire in a few
days"
The sheriff says Wilson was sin
cere and that he expects a delegation
of Butte tramps and buns to arrive
