No, 2 The nature of the movement known as “The Canadian Patri- otic Fund”? has not been generally understood. His Royal Highness the Governor-General issued an appeal, which is republished for general imformation, because we think it very important that the nature of the movement should be fully appreciated, The appeal is as follows: ‘A Message to the People oF Canada: In response to urgent appeals from many parts of the Dominion, I inaugurated the Cana- dian Patriotic Fund, the object of which is to provide for the needs of the wives, families and dependent relatives of those who go to the front te fight the battles of Great Britain and her allies. Un- less generous minded citizens come to their aid there will be, dur- ing the winter, much hardship in many families, owing to the ab- sence of the breadwinner. “I have the greatest confidence that those who are in a posi- tion to give need but the opportunity of doing 80. and that the res- ponse will be widespread and generous. ‘During the past few days the Canadian Patriotic Fund has been duly organized, A strong executive, representing the whole Dominion, has been appointed and a central bureau established at - Ottawa. I sincerely hope that in every city and town throughout the Dominion branches | may be formed, full particulars of which can be had by addressing the honorary secretary, Mr. H. B. Ames, M. P., Ottawa. By co-ordinating and harmonizing benevolent ef- forts. in this way, the-danger of overlappmg on the one hand, or neglecting deserving communities on the other hand, may be met and overcome. Jam convinced that all Canadian hearts will go out to their brave fellow citizens who have gone to the front. A prompt and hearty response to this appeal: will put all anxiety at rest about those near and dear to them, and will also afford to those who cannot go an opportunity of doing their duty to Canada and the Empire. “ARTHUR, “Presiderit Canadian Patriotic Fund.” ceive it for tha further develop. ment of the district. in which they reside—The Skeena’ Cross- ing Chaleopyrite, The New York Herald some time ago had this to say of the mining industry: “It is undeniable that the most influential men in the busi- ness world have turned their at-| tention to mining, the source of nearly all wealth. Those per- sons who have been enslaved to the idea that the only, safe prop- osition” is a five’ per cent or six per cent security now realize that many millions of interest have been lost to them through heeding the advice of those who are interested in cheap money. Further, the richest men in the world are mining kings, many of whom have grown powerful through the proper application of, originally a moderate capital; and it is proved that while mil- lions of dollars have been lost in railroads, farm mortgages, east- ern industrials, and building as- gociations, the American mining industry has steadily advanced, making enormous profits for its supporters, building great states and cities, and pointing with pride to the American possession of 959 mines that have paid in dividends over $625, 000,000," Big Gun for Canal - The Pacific entrance of the Panama Canal is to be protected by the largest pun in the world. This piece of ordnance is nearly completed and is now at the testing grounds at Sandy Hook, The breech-loading device will be installed there and the gun guardian angel of the.canal is 50 feet long, weighs 142 ‘tons and throws a 2000-pound six-foot pro- jectile for an estimated distance of 28 miles. The projectile is prop- elled by 665 pounds of powder, is expected to travel 2250 feet per second and can pierce 12 inches of armor plate at a distance of 11 miles.

United | ~ A Will’o-the:- Wisp’ a Tempered copper is a will-'o- the-wisp that is referred to fre- quently, Many inventors, usual- ly poorly equipped with technical skill, have. wasted much time in efforts to rediscover the “lost art”’ of tempering copper, and on an average of once yearly the American press contains long ar- ticles giving hazy. details of the rediscovery of the process of tempering copper to the hardness of steel, such wonderful diseov- eries usually being made by blacksmiths in Maine, cobblers- in Pennsylvania, farm hands in Illinos or cow-punchers in Texas. A typical example of one of these processes is furnished by a lady in the state of Washington, who puts a razor edge on copper tools by adding an ounce of bluestone to a hundred pounds of copper, while molten, and, if an especial- ly fine edge is- desired, an ounce of bichromate of potash is added tothecharge, Thelady inventor is evidently a homeopathic metal- lurgist, It is doubtful if the mound-builders of America pos- sessed any special art of temper- ing copper, as it has not been proven that the copper tools of the ancients were harder than those made from modern copper. If tempered copper were greatly to be desired, it is probabie that it might be furnished with the aid of tellurium, a smail quantity of which renders copper exceed- ingly hard; but as tempered cop- per merely would.replace steel, in most instances, and as ateel is very much the cheaper of the two metals, a perfecct process for tempering copper seems un- necesaary.«--The | Copper Hand- book. .
