Illhim Is the name of the new metal a substitute for platinum, thai has bean discovered by Prof. S. W Parr of the department of chemistrj at the University of Illinois. "According to Professor Parr the importance of this new metal lies in th? iact that It can be substituted for plati mm or gold in acid tests. Its price I> another factor. Illium costs approxi ( mately 25 cents an ounce. Other alloys have been found toe brittle. They can be cast, but no' machined like illium. Every rod ol Illium which is made has a button cu* from the end, which is given a 24-houi add test These buttons are weighed before and after the test and as yel the difference in weight has not beer appreciable. The first mixture of this alloy wfi made in April, 1917. | Some Ri v-:a tl f mill; ?' * TTTR 1 g. i the] | -x we a: x the! |f. i f< jf bacc y we li x ' the J j of tc i (1.) th Lf (2.)

The price Is eternal vigilance. Even when success is assured you must keep on going. Men who become great by spurts usually sink Into insignificance the same way. Besides making up your mind that you are going to succeed, you must see to it that you realize what's In your mind. Talking about what you expect to do will never bring it to pass. The up-hill is always before you. The only way to reach the top is to climb. Bf you can com mand the means that takes yon there I It will save your energy for jjther j things. Usually the energy you de-1 velop through the climb will be useful , in days to come. The climb may tire you, but It will also make you appreciate the view.?Grit. Ancient Indian Burial Ground. Beneath roots of two large trees two Indian skulls and other bones of the human body were found by workmen leveling mounds in the city park on the shores of Lake BemidJI, Minn. The skulls and bones were badly decayed, but the teeth were in fairly good condition. Charcoal in large quantities was found in the vicinity of the bones, which indicates that the place was an Indian burial pyre, old j residents say. It Is believed that beneath the mound may be found many more I bodies, but the workmen merely re-! moved the top earth and, with the ex-1 ception of a few bones which were gathered by souvenir seekers, the skeletons were, again buried. No Doubt of That "Of course, you know that whisky is poison?" "Yes," replied Uncle Bill Bottletop; "any kind you can buy now is mighty Uktly to be." Relative Values. "The Bomme; boarders will soon be going home." 'Tm glad of It," said Farmer Corntossel. "Tm getttin' kind o* tired of givin' up all this precious food for mere money." N Income Tax in France.

The half is better than the whole. A clean glove often hides a dirty hand. He who works when he does not have to work will not have to work when he does not want j to work.
