"While the processes of carborun ium manufacture were being perfect !ed another lesson was. learned Quartz, you remember, is the geo logist's thermometer, for it is forme< i between narrow ranges of tempera jture. If the materials from whicl I nature makes it are subjected t< more than so much heat, they take 01 j an entirely different character fron quartz. The same is true if the] are subjected to less than a certaii amount of heat. "So, also, it is with, carorundum In its manufacture a large quantit] of a mixture of coke and sand, witl a touch, of sawdust, and a dash o; salt, is put into an electric furnace A heavy current of electricity ii passed through this for 48 hours ^eating it to 1,350 degrees cent! grade. j "If it is properly heated, ther< forms around the central core o: coke a great array of crystals, larg< 'and small, almost a:} hard as dia monds. If too much heat is applied pfl instead of forming into crystals, th< " material breaks up into fine particle! | of black dust and you have graphite "Therefore, largely by the sami process, the electric furnace pro duces from the same materials thi r- near-diamond of the artificial grind stohe ?ind the microscopic dust tha becomes lead for a pencil, color fo I ink, base for lubricants, electrode for furnaces and death chairs, or thousand other things, under th manipulations of industrial scienct ,;|But Niagara's bit in behalf o American arms does not end wit tho story of abrasives; indeed, i only well begins. The story of fei rosilicon is another illustration o how beauty under the alchemy o science is transmitted into grim-vis aged war. "Last year this countrj' made mor IB, SICC1 l/Uaa UlC nuviv nvi J when William McKinley became prei U ident of the United States.

Of course Dixie ijand the |'rebel yell" will do the work, r Russia is asking that one hundred -j thousand American' troops be sent to 3 them. They say they can whip the 1 j Germans if they have American fights ers with them. On the 4th of July, 1917, when 2 our American soldiers, under Genere al Pershing marched through the - streets of Paris the French people t went wild with enthusiasm. The r women and girls scattered roses bet for the marching troops, the men - cheered, the aged wept aloud for joy f at this proof that the good God still s helped them to fight against the Gerjman Beast or Kaiser. They made -presents to the soldiers of champagne -and wine which General Pershing . nromntlv locked un until he discover -Jed that the light wines of France do i;not intoxicate. Where our troops -|are quartered, "somewhere in ij France" the drinking water is very >Jbad. Our troops amaze the French 1 i by filtering this water and making ijgod drinking water of it. Many JI French people drink their light wines ^instead of this inferior water. They are also amazed at the num(Jber of baths an American soldier takes 7 when he is camped near a river. 1 In our first naval battle of the f war, our Navy won new a*nd imper ishable honor by whipping out the 31 nest of submarines and safely landing in France' our expeditionary -army. "Sampson sent such a message nineteen years ago from where J;Cerverar's beached and burning f squadron lay. But this message which ; I Secretary Daniel's gives our people on this the one hundred and forty? first anniversary of the 4th July, - 1776, is not at the end or the middle s of a war, but at the beginning."
