Messrs. Catch 'em and Skin 'om.
An investigation Of the store made
six months later disclosed that its
stock was then larger than the day It
announced the auction. Its sales in
the interim had exceeded $500, 600.
The facts are that two trucks had
backed up to the rear Of the store
nightly and unlOaded new merchan-
disc, principally odd lines and Job lots
picked up here and there at a bargain.
Under the guise Of a legitimate auc-
ton, or private sale at auction prices,
fourteen times as much furniture was
sold in the six months as the store
contained at the time Of the failure.
Comparison Of sale prices disclosed
that victims we're persuaded to buy
literally on the assurance they were
getting sacrifice prices, when as a mat
ter Of fact they were actually paying
from Eve to % per cent more than re-
liable stores charging for better
goods.
Fake auctions and private sales are
used not only for furniture but also in
the sale Of jeWelTy and other merchan.
disc. The lesson which this story
teaches is that there is nothing to be
gained BY ~patroaizing such sales. On
the other hand, there Is a better thar
$3.50 chance Of sustaining q loss.
Not all auctions are fraudulent, FOL
some ARE conducted fairly and honest

ROY FILTER PERISHES IN
 ISOLATED ALASKA SECTION

CIRCLE.-How two malamutes sped losing race across one of the most sparsely inhabited sections of Northern Alaska to summon aid for their dying master was related by Dennis Solomon, Indian ,who has just arrived rere from his camp on the Black river, one hundred miles north east of Circle
 The ewo dogs, which belonged to Roy Felter, trapper, arrived at Solo mons cabin bearing notes from their master. The Indian could not read the notes because of their wet and faded condition, but he recognized the dogs and surmised that Felter must be i'll and in need of assistance. So he started for Felter's cabin with out delay.
 When Solomon reached the isolated camp, Felter was dead in his cabin. Signs in the snow outside the cabin showed that he had made start with the evident intention of making the journey to Black river, but finding himself unequal to the strain he had turned back to await the coming of assistance.
 Felter was 33 years of age and a veteran of the world war.

A FEW POINTERS FOR THE

 Carbon an Element.

 Carbon and Carbon Compounds.
 Under this heading comes cool, pe- troleum, asphaltum, amber, graphite and diamond.
 Coal is divided into three principal qualities: Lignite, peat and brown coal are poor in quality, retaining many signs of its vegetable origin. BiIuminous coal is coking coal, quite high in volatile matter, ash, and higher than Ignite in fixed carbon. Anthracite coal is very high in car bon. The uses of coal are so we'll known that it is unnecessary to com ment thereon. It is found in nearly all the countries of the earth. The by-products ofscolling plants are var jed and many and is the source of medicines, chemicals, oils and dye products.
 Test
 Testing for coal very seldom comes in the work of the prospectcr. The following simple test can be made, however, and fairly accurate result arrived at:
 Weigh out 100 grammes of pow dered coal. Heat a pan of sand and place the coal in an open dish in the heated sand; after several hours weigh and the loss will represent the moisture. Weigh the grammes of powdered coal, put this in clay pipe and seal with clay; place this over a flame and drive off all moisture and gas; weigh the remaining Cooke and you will have the percentage of vol atile matter. Weigh the coke and burn it, saving the ash. The differ ence between the weight of the ash and the coke will be the fixed carbon.

You will then have the per cen tof moisture, volatile matter, fixed car bon and ash.
 Petroleum. Petroleum or coal oil in the crude state is a dark colored liquid. 1t is refined by distillation, producing gas oline, naphtha, benzne and kerosene. Petroleu mis found in many coun- tries, the United States producing more than one-half of the worlds supply.
 Asphaltum. Asphaltum is bituminous mineral substance, used mostly in paving, varnish and insulation.
 Diamond Diamond is a pure form of crystal ized carbon, variously colored, and is the hardest of all known substances. Used as jewels and for drilling pur poses. (Black diamonds called bort.) The beauty of a diamond is brought out by cutting, which is done in near ly all cases in Belgium and Holland. Diamonds are found in gravel wash ing an din blue rock in South Africa.
 Amber Amber is a fossil resin used in making pipe mouthpieces and beads.
 Goals. Anthracite coal contains from 85 to 95 per cent carbon.
 Bituminous coal contains from 75 to 85 per cent carbon. Lignite coal contains from 50 to 75 per cent carbon.
 CerOum an Element. Symbolic.
 Atomic weight-140.25. Specific gravity-7.o. Melting point-623 degrees. Welsback incandescent gas mantels contain 1 per cent of eerium dioxide. Chief ore is monoZite sand. Chromium. Symbol-Cr.
 Atomic weight-52.0. Specific gravity-6.9. Melting point-1515 degrees. The alloy ferrochromium is used in steel making, also as a pigment and in photography.
 Chromium is used extensively as an alloy for steel; fro mchrome steel is made the finest grades of tool steel. Chromite (chromic iron) is the chief ore of chrome.
 Test. To small amount of the original solution in a test tube add potassium hydrate to excess; cloudy precipi tate will result.
 Usually found in serpentine, in which it forms irregular embedded masses or veins.
 Chromite principal ore is: Chromite is the chief ore of chrome, called chrome iron. Chromite, if pure, contains AS per cent chromium.
 Chromite fractures uneven. Chromite, hardness of, 5.5. Chromite, lustre submetallic. Chromire, streak, brown.
