C0MESVINT0 ITS OWN AT LAST Now It Helna Light the World, Toughen Steel ana Haa Home Hold Uaee Aato. Owe Mich to Vanadlaaa. DENVER. March 12. Not so long ago such metal a. tungiten, molybdenum, vanadium and uranium were ao rare that th" commercial world knew nothing about them, and aa a rule only students were aware that they had been discovered. Few people ever aaw boron, silicon, titanium and chromium except In museums. Goethe's dying cry for "more light" has been echoed around the world until cities now bias, at night with the glory of the noonday sun, and this has been made possi ble by some of these rare metals. 80, too, automobiles ow. their present perfection J part to th. once rare metals that temper &Yi toughen steel. In other Industries also thee, metals play an Important part. Until a comparatively short timo ago these rare metals were left In the dump heap at th. mines, being deemed not only valueless, but actually detrimental to the concentration of the ore which was con sidered of value. In Boulder county, Colo rado, the miners used to throw away what they called black jack. Now that they know black Jact to be wolframite, an ore of tungsten, they are carefully smelting th. dump heaps, as tungsten forma a valua ble branch of mining. In Cornwall, England, th. miners found tur.gsten ore, but called It mock lead be caus. of Its high specific gravity, and they, too, left It In the dump. I'pon learning" the va'ue of the stuff they are working over the refuse heaps to recover the valuable tungsten. In IMi this ore was found In Lan's mine at Trumbull, Conn., and Kben Smith dli covered It In IX In Colorado, but It Is only within the decade that It has become of value commercially. In the summer of 1W4 soma prospectors working their way along through Okanogan county, Washing ton, with pick, shovel, dull and powder, slaked a claim which abounded In a new or. that they believed to be filled with gold and silver.

When neither gold nor silver wa found, they gave up their claim. But the assayer noticed unfamiliar crystals In the ore and proceeded to Investigate and found It Im pregnated with tungsten acid. When this fact became known there was soon, a new Industry for the region Tungsten is now In demand for Incan descent lamp filaments. In the form of sodium tuugstate a flreproofing or value Is produced. Tungiten brought Joy to the heart of The housewife In that It fixes dyes so that wash goods will wash. Silk merchants rejoiced, for other tungsten salts added weight to silk. Tungsten steel is extremely tough. Tro Jectlles made from It have penetrated through fourteen Inches of the best armor plate. Tungsten compass needles are the best on the market. In the form of ferrotungsten It has pro duced a high-speed tool steel that was never thought possible by mechanics. Even pianos have been benefited, as tungsten gives added strength and quality to the wires. Its high melting point gives It value In the manufacture of the highest grade crucibles. Tungsten ores have been melted In elec tric, furnaces, but thj problem now Is to produce It by direct pig Iron blast furnace smelting. The American Smelting and Re fining company has recently appropriated (10,000 fur experimental work on the treat ment of tungsten ores. Tungsten Is now mined In Arizona, Call fornla, Nevada, Montana, Idaho and Colo rado, which produces 60 per cent of the output. The tungsten belt In Colorado la three miles lung and eight miles wide. The world's production of this ore In 1906 was S.979 tons. In 1906 1,304 and In 1907 5.791 tons. The production in Colorado In 1907 was vaiU'ed at SoOO.000, and the market for tungnlen has becume almost as staple as that for copper, sine or lead. A possible rival to tungsten is molybde num, a metal discovered In 1778, but as yet found in such scant quantities that the un certainty of the supply makes It commer cially second to tungsten. Alloyed with steel It has the same effects as tungsten, and there Is the very great advantage that only half or a third as much is mqulred. Its chXef use Is In the ma. ifacture of chemical reagents. It Is highly valued in the artistto world, for In the manufacture of pottery th. salts Impart a fine, rare, blue color. An Important use Is Itv rifle barrels, large cannon, propellor shafts, wires ana. high-speed tool steel.

It is found in the Black Hills of Dakota and its most Important minerals are columblte and tanallte. A small quantity baa been kept in this country for experimental work, but the "yearly output, amounting to sev eral tons, has been shipped to Germany. The most Important use to which tan talum is put is in the manufacture of fila ments for Incandescent lamps. They were put on the market in Germany In 1905 and In the United States In 1906. The tantalum lamp scores on these three points htsTi efficiency, ability to withstand high currents and whiteness of light. Tantalum pens give promise of being the pen of the future, aa they are not only hard and elastic, but resist chemical action. Steel pens are both hard and elastic, but do not resist chemical action. Gold pens reBlst chemical action, but are soft and pliable. Vandalum In small qualities is distributed in sandstones, limestones and Igneous rocks. Its greatest value, when alloyed with Iron as ferrovanadlum, Is In the mak ing of steel. The addition of from one- tenth to one half of 1 per cent of fer rovanadlum enormously increases tha strength, toughness and elastic limit of the resulting steel products. The automobile business has greatly in creased the market for vanadium. The spurs used in Sir Thomas Upton's racing yacht Shamrock III were of vanadium steel and so were those on Emperor Wll Ham's yacht Meteor. In the form of vanadlc acid vanadium is used as a mordant In dying; in medicine under the name of vanadln it has a use; waterproof black ink is made from vana dates and tannin acid. It is also used in developing photographs in stained glass and In a beautiful imitation of gold bronze. Uranium, in many respects the most in teresting of all the rare medals, was recognized as an element In 17S2 by the chemist Klaproth, who named It after the planet Uranua The chief ore of uranum Is uranlte, commonly calley pitchblende, and from pitchblende comes radium. Vranlum is found In Joachlmsthal, Bo hemia; in Saxony, Germany; in Cornwall, England, and In Gilpin county, Colorado, where it is said to have been discovered by Mr. Garrett in 1878. Its uses are not many. Two of its oxides produce pure black glaze for porcelain and some of Its salts are used In photography. It Is a steel hardener, but is In no way superior to In the manufacture of Incandescent gas mantles Its presence ia said to improve th. properties of thorium, cerium and zirconium salts, applied for the same purpose. Th. entlr. world's production at th. present time only amounts to about 800 tons of ore yielding from S to 13 per cent of the metal. Though rich lodes of pltohblende are In Colorado the ore haa been shipped almost entirely to Germany for treatment. Th. chemical products have been imported. iiiuiiiu r. waisn has endowed th. school of Mine at Golden. Colo., with a research fund for the special purpose of promoting interest among th. mine opera " prospectors in th. search for pitchblende, Th. fund pays th. assayer'a bill. As a result of this generosity Colo rado Is being carefully prospected for pitchblende. Free Asthma Tare. D. J. Lane, a chemist at 111 tan. build ing, fct. Marys.

FRENCH TRY TO RETALIATE Mb jr Refuse to Send Airships to America to Compete la the In ternational Kveata This Year. PARIS, March 19-(Spclal to th. Pub lishers Press.) The French aeronauts are figuratively "up in the air" by reason of the decision of the American courts in favor of the Wrights In the litigation over the aeroplane patents and the statement by Orville Wright that the French are poor loners. The things which have been said about Mr. Wright have been hot enough to float a dirigible. Whether or not the court proceedings will prevent the entry of French machines In the international cup races to be held this year In America Is a question not yet de cided.' It Is feared, however, that It will keep some of the French aviators out who otherwise would have been contestants. M. Esnault-Polterle, president of the As sociation des Industries de locomotion Aerlenne, said in regard to the matter: "I have no hesitation In declaring, with my French colleagues, that the recent Judg ment given- by Judge Hand is iniquitous. Buch a decision would have been Impossible In a European court of Justice. Evidently only , the American point of view is 'con sidered, and It Is not the first time that we have had to register an example of pure selfishness from Americans. We Frenchmen still remember tha Peldon af fair. French Will Retaliate. Frenchmen have contributed more than any other people to the progress and per fection of aviation, and it Is unthinkable that th. machines evolved out of their brains should be condemned and barred at the bidding of the two Wrights. I Intend to bring the matter before the Association des Industries de Locomotion Aerienne, with a view of taking action to protect French aviators and, If necessary, to or ganise reprisals in vlaw of the hostility to French aeroplanes in America. I do not know yet what form such measures will take, but where there's a will there's a way, and you may be sure that In this case the will exists. "In any case, I question whether French aviators will avail themselves of the Wright brothers' kind authorization to compete with them this yoar on American soil. It is still present in the memory of French aeronauts that, In spite of a similar affirmation that they would receive good treatment on the occasion of the great St Louis race, M. Santos-Pumont's balloon was silt open and lacerated with a knife and the culprit was never brought to Jus tice. It would teach the Americans a les son if European aviators abstained 'en bloc' from all participation In the contest for the Coupe Internationale if held In America. "For myself, after the experience of the Wrights' action and of other disagreeable Indications of the feeling In America to wards foreign sportsmen, I should not think of taking part In any contest there or of sending my machine, aero as the At lantlo for such a purpose, " Other leading aviators express similar views.

New French Dreadnoughts. The six new battleships, plans for which have been accepted, will be among the most powerful afloat. They will have a displace ment of 23,467 tons and will be armed with twelve 306-millimeter guns and twenty-two 138.6-mlllimeter guns. Their speed Is to be between twenty and twenty-one knots, with a steaming capacity of 2,300 miles at twenty knots and 28,000-horsepower. The heavy guns, which are of the 1906 fifty-caliber type, firing a 440-kilogram melinite shell, will be disposed In pairs In six' turrets. The arrangement of the turrets four along the center line of the ship and one on each side amidships will permit ten guns to be fired broadside and eight ahead or astern. Thr fore turrets are to be about eight feet higher than the aft turrets, and the highest placed gun will be nearly thirty-eight feet, while the lowest will be over twenty-one feet above the water line. The radius of fire of the guns In the center turrets will be 170 degrees and In the side turrets ISO degrees. The secondary armament will be arranged in eight Independent batteries, each with a radius of fire of 120 degrees. Th. armor will consist of an armored belt 270 millimeters thick amidships and 180 millimeters thick at the two ends. The armored decks will be seventy and forty eight millimeters thick. The battleships will cost 12,680,000 each. Plea for Tourists. The matin Is worried over the aftermath of the flood. In a recent editorial it says: "Foreigners, believing that Paris has be come, owing to the recent flood, a city of ruins and desolation, have ceased to visit us. Our theaters, hotels and restaurants are empty. Our pessimism has exagger ated. It la time we informed the foreign- era that Paris is still Paris." Pays to Be Honest. General Plcquart has found that stand ing for principle sometimes at least brings Ita reward In this world. The man who braved ruin for Dreyfus has Just been ap pointed commander of the second army corps at Amiens, one of the most coveted posts In the French army. General Plc quart's rol. in the Dreyfus case will be remembered. This was followed by his disgrace, then his reintegration in the army. Ntxt he was chosen by M. Clemen- ceau as his war minister, and now he Is further rewarded by being 'given one of the most coveted appointments In the French active army. Her Plan Poor.

Wild Beaata Raid Farm. Owing to the persistence of the heavy snowfall a number of wolves and wild boara have left the wooda In the vicinity of Clermont-Ferrand and are roaming, around the villages terrorizing the Inhabi tants. No fewer than fifteen wild boars were killed In the canton of Pontglbaud alone recently. In one instance the fam ished wolves penterated Into a farmyard and devoured the watch dog. Honor for Police Chief. Parlxlana derive great satisfaction from tha fact that the Academy of Moral and Political Sciences has awarded M.
