A strong and unexpected demand for Hardscrabble Morgan was developed, 80 cents being bid. This company has adopted an electrical process for the reduction of cobalt, nickel and bismuth, as well as the precious metals contained in their ores, and will erect a mill.

Gelatine possesses the curious property of becoming insoluble in contact with formic aldehyde, and, at the same time, of preserving perfect transparency. Gelatine rendered insoluble, or petrified, to use a more appropriate term, resists water. acids and alkalies. It resembles celluloid. but has the great advantage over the latter of not being inflammable. We have here, then, a new product very easy to obtain, possessing interesting properties and destined to play an important role in the industries. The Chemische Fabrik of Berlin, says the Revue Universelle, has recently put upon the market an oxidizing substance, the properties of which have long been known to chemists. It is the persulphate of potassa. and is prepared by electrolysis in submitting a solution of sulphate of potassa to an electric current. There occurs an oxidation and a deposit, which is, in fact, less soluble than the ordinary sulphate, while hydrogen is disengaged at the negative electrode. There is ob- tained a very light precipitate, which readily crystalizes through solution in warm water, and which in cooling yields brilliant crystals having a reflection com- "arable to that of mother-of-pear- l. These crystals are sold by the Berlin works un- der the name of anthion. This sub- stance, like all bodies whose stability is not perfect, is a remarkable oxidizing agent, either in neutral or slightly alka-TO ne soluUon - No Accident Happens Twice the Same vaiaUon To sSt0vke,t6fXtoeeDeT? ver, $8; to Pueblo, $8; to Omaha and KanWay.

The scarcity of lead ores continues, but the smelters are well supplied with others. The sharp competition for lead product was evidenced by conthe price paid for the Bullion-Bec- k of centrates, which was an advance of between $2 and $2.50 over the figures 1895. The sampling mills are running night and day, but a slight shrinkage in the ore receipts is noted, due, no doubt, to the bad condition of the roads during the early part of the week.
