Larry was up on his mercury too
well for Jack. “Cinnabar is a poor
man’s proposition. It does not take '
a rich company to make a mercury
mi"a pay. Right at this momen
t't.o- ~ :s a one-man mine and a
plant in operation near Tonopah,
Nov. The owner ana operator not
only performs the actual mining
operations alone, but runs a suc
cessful reduction retort at the same
time; being thereby permitted to
make a product directly salable to
the consumer or consumer's agent.
Obtaining mercury from cinnabar
is a very easy process. This man s
property is producing about five
Oasks per month. Not bad, is it:
There are no difficult transporta
tion problems confronting the pro
ducer of mercury.”
“In normal times between 30 and
10 percent of the domestic produc
tion of mercury is used in t he man
ufacture of mercury fulminate for
explosive caps, one flask of 70
! pounds making 100-200 pounds of
detonator. Mercury is also employ
ed in the extraction of gold by an
ialgam.at.ion and in scientific and
lectrical apparatus. The chloride
of m?'\ ury is called calomel and is
used for medical purposes.”
“Well.” spoke up Jack, “I do not

WRITTEN IN MEMORY OF AND AS A TRIBUTE
TO OUR BELO/ED BROTHER
ALBERT CLINTON GOSS
Out of this frail, time-worn body of clay,
Into the light of God’s beautiful day
The soul of our loved one has flown,
Far from earth’s weariness, sorrow and pain,
Far from all toil and all labor for gain,
Into the great unknown.
Life full of service and sacrifice great,
Spirit of fire, undaunted by fate,
Resolute, sturdy and strong,
Giving to others with generous meed
Never a thought of himself or his need,
Meeting reverse with a song.
Simple in taste, and with no thought of show
Daily his actions with kindness o’erflow,
Spending for others his hours.
Hating oppression, responding to need,
Fighting for truth, bravely conquering greed.
Thus did he use all his powers.
Following ever the Master’s command,
Unto the least ones the kindliest hand,
Giving without stint or bound.
Scattering sunshine and joy everywhere
Nothing too small but with others to share.
Thus was his happiness found.
Faithful to loved ones, and loyal to friend
Giving his life even unto the end,
Meeting each hour with zeal,
Laying up treasure where naught can destroy
Pure and untarnished,—no dross or alloy—
Stamped with the Master’s own seal.
Let us not mourn, for our loss is his gain,
Pray that his spirit may ever remain
Guiding us all to the goal.
Spirit of sacrifice, kindness and love
Patterned from Jesus’ own spirit above,
Filling with fullness his soul.
Hark to the message of comfort and cheer
Sent to our hearts from the far distant sphere
Words full of sweetest accord.
Faithful was he over tasks which were few
Now he receives the reward which was due
Enters the joy of the Lord.
Safely through danger and perilous gale
Into the harbor our “skipper” can sail
Where only still waters flow.
Father and Mother he surely will meet
Waiting in glory their loved one to greet.
Nevermore parting to know.
Flora Goss Willis.

The ‘“Golden Arrow” (above), a queer looking monster, is the auto
mobile in which Maj. H. O. D. Segrave (left), English racer, will make
this next American attempt to lower the existing automobile record of
207.552 miles an hour. Streamlining of the car simulates that of the
world’s fastest seaplane, Supermarine S-5, a British plane (below).
