MAKING INQUIRY APOUT
WELL KNOWN MAN.

Will you excuse a miserable, ami
very sick woman for writing to yon
cnee more, after these ir.suy years
i-,nd asking you for the boon of a few
lines in the hope you may have heard
something of my sou. K C Sliellon.
1 have changed residence more than
once, and you may have written, and
1 failed to receive it. You told nte
"hen you last wrote, that you had
my name in a record book and if you
heard would tell me. whether it
• should he joy or sorrow.
I wrote to the Iditared hut the let
ter was returned unclaimed. The
Presbyterian minister at Cordova,
found that he had worked for the
railroad there at one time, but the
records were so meager he could trace
him ao further. ! have been ill for
over two years and now have been
confined to bed for over five months
with a most torturing ecrenia. from
the crown of my head to the sole of
my foot. 1 cannot move in bed or get
«rp or down without torturing twin.
Will you not add to your former kind
ness by writing me a line, and by
'skltrg once more about my son ' And
by mentioning Ms case to some mern
• rs of the Salvation Army?
I. and my daughter. Mrs. V. P

CRUDE EARYTES IN
DUSTRY IS ACTIVE
One Hursts-ed Pe* Cent Increase of
Production in '915.
The production of crude barytes in
the United S:a'-s in i • • 7 was 1 >
~i~ short tons, valued a- S:: 22 As
ompared with the pr i : uon in 1914.
which was -2.747 #: .- tons, valued
at 1155.64?. this a remarkable
showing, and repons '.Acted by Jas
M Hill, of the U. S Geological Sur- j
vet. indicate that the production in
1915 will, be continued if not exceeded
in 1916.
Alaska shipped its f.rst barytes in
I'.-'.f and it is report- d that a grind
ing mill will be ir. c-pt rati n at Snlzer
<• tee time in 1916 Deposits have
;s-. n developed in C: ratio but none
of the product was marketed in 1 >13.
The Kentucky mines, which have been
practically idle for a number of years,
made a considerable production in
1 13. Georgia and Tennessee mines
made remarkable sains in output.
hrough the operations of old pr> -
cueers and newly opened properties.
Most of the mines in the Eastern
States, even thougn they marketed
no barytes in 1915. report develop
ment work and the pr- -pec: of large
production in 15*16. Missouri, which
up to the present has always been the
largest producer of crude barytes,
made an increase in 1*15 of over 6,
> / tons.
The general feeling of the trade is
that this boom is no: to be short
lived. particularly in view of the
large demand for crude barytes by
the newly established barium chemi
cal industry.

WHAT PRODUCES HEAT OF THE
SUN.
if «d couid bund up a solid column
of ice from the garth to the suu. 2ls
; miles in diameter, spanning the in
'ervewlng distance of 9S.000.000 miles.
! if the sun should concentrate his
•nrre power upon it. it would dis
seSyt' in a single second. nccorAing to
. ,>. calculation made by Prof, Young.
To produce this enormous amount of
eat would require the hourly burri
ng of a layer of anthracite more than
19 feet thick over the entire surface
of the sun. If the sun were composed
of solid coal and we derived our heat
from the burning of thut coal the sun
would burn out in less than 5000
y.ars, Since the earth is millions of
j y -cars old the sun cannot be learning
i Its heat must be generated in some
persistent way. The German physi
cist Helmholtz was the first to e.v
- plain satisfactorily what keeps the
-nm hot. The sun ts not burning: it
is heated to the glowing point like a
niece of white hot iron. Helmholtz
ifc.:r,d that if we suppose the sun
to be contracting by only 250 feet a
we would receive our present
o-uit of heat. In other words heat
Is being literally squeezed out of the
sun.
Prof. Newcomb estimated that when
i the squeezing process has continued
j for about 7,000.000 years, the sun will
t-e one-half its present size.

WHY ELECTRIC LIGHT BULBS
GLOW.
Whet, you heat iron In a forge it
comes either red hot or white liot.
depending on how hot it is. It sends
forth light. The hotter it is the more
-1 \ it giv e< Finally there comes
point where the iron melts away.
The best light-giving material is
•hat which will melt at the highest
temperature. Carbon is a material
kick cannot be melted easily: but
:t Tunis up in the open air long be
fore it reaches the melting point.
Edison conceived the idea of making
a little thread of carbon, of placing
that Thread in a bulb, and of heating
k by the electric current to the high
est possible point. In order to pre
vent the carbon filament from burn
ing up he pumped out all the air in
the buib. The result was that the
'bread of carbon was heated to the
plowing point, so that it gave a very
: right light.
Tungsten is a metal which melts
• the high--st melting point. It ought
tc be the best light-producer, since it
can be heated higher than any other
metal without melting. The trouble
is that tungsten is exceedingly brit
tle. so that a thread cannot easily be
made of it. This difficulty was over
feme about 12 years ago by making
a paste of powdered tungsten and
forming a thread of this paste. Later
still a way was found of so treating
the tungsten that it could be drawn
. into a hair-like thread a miie long if
necessary. All modern electric in
fant?-: scent lamps have such tungsten
niamems. They consume very much
!e«s current than the older carbon
filament lamps.
HOW SCIENCE MAKES HENS
LAV SELF-PRESERVING EGGS
Dr. OsAsr Riddle of the Carnegie
Institution undertook in a leisure
moment to see if he could not make
a h -n !ay an egg which would be self
pr-serving. He succeeded very well.
By this method the hen was fed
unotropin, administered in capsules at
the rate of less than a dram a day.
I'rotropin is deposited in the egg,
where it changes into formalin, a
well known preservative.
Eggs laid within 24 hours after the
first dosing, as well as those laid five
days after, were sufficiently affected
to be preserved. Dr. Kiddie tested ‘
the keeping power of the eggs in com-;
parison with those from untreated
‘.'-os under particularly severe cir
cumstances.
Eggs of both varieties laid in the
| month of July were allowed to stand
in a temperature varying from 7S de
grees above zero to 25 below. By
the i September the differ
ent - between the two kinds of eggs
could be easily detected; by the mid
dle of November al! the eggs from
mdosed hens were spoiled while
those from urotropin-fed hens were
sti’l edible, although they had lost
some of their bulk of water.
