Hidden Brine River. A thousand feet beneath tho town of Midland, Mich., run rivers of brine charged with calcium, sodium, magne sium, strontium, bromine and chlorine. Forty- pumi lug wells raise the brine, and- separative processes release from It the bases of photographic emulsions, medicines, cement, tanning materials, perfumes, preservatives nnd cold-storage Solutions. The magnesium was used for war ilnres, and now, com bined In a secret alloy, furnishes metal one-third the weight of nlumlnum, sustaining n pressure of 24,000 pounds' per squnre Inch. In the form of gas engine pistons, after a" test equivalent to that of n motor car running 30 miles an hour continuously for 35,0001108 scarcely a sign of wear was discern ible.
