TO HONOR WIFE OF BOONE Daughters of American Revolution Will Place Tablet at Grave of Pioneer's Wife. The state conference of the Daugh tors of the American Revolution of Missouri will be held in St. Louis the last week in October and directly aft erward, on October 29, the Daughters will place a marker on the site in Varren county, where Daniel lo1.one and his wife, liebecca, were buried. The daughters have been rnde iat i,;ahle in their efforts to place markets at all historic shots in the state, and will continue the good work. It is all very well for the men who blazed the way and the ien 'Who fought for their country's honor and well-being to lo remembered in this way, but sometimes it seems as if one would like to hear of a society, a vanguard of peace, as it were, that -would mark the deeds of the real he roes of the world, those kindly, unpre tentious persons In the modern equiv alent of fustian, who uever blazon forth their heroic efforts in any way. There are thousands of mothers, de priving themselves of all the good things in life that their children may have an education. The president of a college told me once that in a far away New England town his mother had just died. le could not go to the funeral, and, while it possibly was being hlid he told me something of what his mother had been to hunn.

DISCOVERY OF GREAT VAL'JE Work of Pittsburgh Men Means Mich in the Future of Aluminum Manufactures. C. E. Skinner and L. W. Chubb of the West inlihuse Electric and Manu fI'et'uring ('omipainy of lPitGsburgh have per'f'ected an insulating skin for alumini nu:n -o thin and flexible as to make small rlunitinum wire as economical of space in coils as copper. Accoriling to the Engineering News, they have produced two kinds of films. One is smooth and iridescent; the other, white and abrasive. Of these, the second is the better, for it is only .0001 to .0001 of an inch thick, and staids from 200 to 500 volts. Two wires can be pressed together until they nre indented without breaking the film; but rubbing will expose the metal, and make a short circuit. The ilim is fireproof, and has mechanical strength enough to support the wire in small coils above the melting point. To coat the wire with the film, it is passed through electrolytic baths (so lutions of borax, ammonium borate, or sedium silicate)-a process in which tihe wire itself acts as the anode.--Youth's Companion.
