The most erpensire of tbeae superior metal la an objure tne, unknown to fame, by name gallium. It belongs to tb j wnm frrcup as does tin, and ts worth exact'y ten times what gold Is worth per ounce, It Is not uh1 to any extent for any purpose, and It is sc ored by he depos.t caused In certain chnniCHl rations, primarily for oth er pcrpivis. Gold Is worth $-t) per ounce, gaJUum 2tX). Thurlinu closely resembles pailo dlum, but while the latter Is worth only $S er ounce Its twin, thurium. Is si)ld for tltM) per ounce. Vanadium comes In a biack powler, and is one of the hardest of metal to melt. Il Is of little use In association with other uieiaJs metals secure the same results tuat Us use would give. It price Is IS per ounce. Most of these metals are shown In powder form, because they are ob tained In that form. It Is difficult of ten to obtain them in globule because they decompose very quickly when ex posed to the air. If kept in lump they are usually preserved in kerosene. Uernianlum, closely resembling tin aa It does, Is, nevertheless, worth $Uo per ounce, and Is one of the most ex pensive metals osed to auy extent. . Hubidum Is of a greenish gray ap pearance, and conies as a powder. lis raiue is $88 per ounce. Beryllium, which resembles lead, is worth ISO per ounce. Santatun Is a gray mass, very much like rubidium. Its value is $80 per ounce, although at wholesale It would be a trifle cheaper. One can hardly ' speak of these metals as merchandise, ! however, as tbey are rarely sold save! as specimens or for unusual experi ments. Calcium Is, of course, well known. It conies in a white powder, and la more readily melted than many of the others. It belongs to the aluminum family, and Is worth $80 per ounce. Indium Is very dark, globular, and It, too, is kept In kerosene. It la worth $72 per ounce. Dldymiuiu, when collected, Is a light gray or dove color. When melted it is one of the wnitish gray metals. It Is worth $72 per ounce. Lithium also is kept under kerowne to prevent oxidation, since from con tact with the air It at once becomes an oxide ana is wasted, in appear ance It Is a black mass, light that Its specific gravity Is only about 70. Its vaiue Is $U4 per ounce. Erbium Is much like cerium, of a bluish gray color, but when melted m f'Viv'iw tn .i. foior gr!,y ti tu0 . ti;t a u.u..auu iuu4). and .t is -.ivr.h (j per ounce. Ruthenium is a black powder in ap pearance and exceedingly dlllicult to melt. It Is worth $44 per ounce. Cerinm Is a brownish green mass In appearance, but In reality It Is a white metal belonging to the aluminum fam ily. Its value is $40 per ounce. Strontium is kept In kerosene to pre vent oxidation. It Is dark gray In col or before melting, but after it is light gray. Iu price is $40 per ounce. Rhodium Is another metal which It Is very difficult to melt. It Is a dark metal, very little used, because it Is next to Impossible to absorb It. Its ! value Is $40 per ounce. Zirconium comes In flat, thin, gray ish blue crystals and Is worth $10 per ounce. Barium Is kept In kerosene. In color It Is silver white, and lu price is $32 per ounce. Boriuin comes In fine, grayish block crystals, and Is very hard. The crys tals much remble emery In appear ance, but borlum will dissolve In hot aluminum, while other metals of the same hardness will not. It is worth $25 per ounce. it stiouia be aaid In reference to many of the costly metals that the rea son they are so difficult to melt or to combine with other metals Is that they oxidize so quickly when exposed to air that In being placed In a crucible great care must be used, and the chem ical combinations necessary to secure afety are not easy. COMBS ALL THE" RAGE. New Fashions of Dressing the Hair and the Latest Ornaments.

Papers have been filed with the sec retary of state at Denver incorporating the Albuquerque, Colorado & Pacific railroad, capitalized at $100,000. The route proposed for the road Is from Albuquerque proceeding - In a north westerly direction through Utsih to Salt Lake City, the course continuing direct to some point yet undecided on the Pacific coast. Judge Wells, the corporation's coun sel, said there was a prospect that the road, or at least a rart of It. would be built at an early date. He said: "Surveys have already been made for the portion of the proposed line be tween Albuquerque and Grand Junc tion, and It Is probable that the work of grading will be started In the spring. If the money can be rained the line will be pushed on to Salt Lake, and later to the Pacific or to Puget sound.

Instead of doing so he skipped away with hi menagerie without even offering an explanation to the lawyers who defended him at his trial Iu Syra cose for innjislnughter. Another bit of evidence as to his In sincerity was his persistent refusal to agree upon a referee until twenty-four hour before the light, and his only reason for this was a Hun one. He said no sporting innn in tills country, save a few he named, nearly all of whom were enemies of mine, could lie trust ed more than a day with the referee ship, Further than this, i, said the men qualified for the Job whoso names did not appear on his list were not alxivo accepting a bribe. And this from a cur who freely acknowledged that be laid down to Jim Halt In Australia for $75. Ho named John L. Sullivan, first of alt.

I had very good reasons for not choosing one of these men, although I never (iiiestloned their honesty, Mr. Brady named for our side Hermann Oelrlclis, "Honest John" Kelly, Tim Hurst, Jimmy Colvllle, of Boston; Arthur Moore, .lore Dunn and several others. It was no use; Fltzslmmons wasn't in for selecting a referee. When Hot Springs was named as the battle-ground I moved there from Tex as. My $10,000 stake was Intact, lie hadn't one penny tin, but he did all the dictating, still he wouldn't leave Cor pus Christ! until the last moment, and when he did start he took excellent caro that Governor Clarke, of Arkan sas, knew of It. This shallow-brained foreigner expected to make a Brand stand piny and get himself arrested bv the governor, crying "Let me at him!" nut thin scheme did not work. He could have taken a special train in charge of Sheriff Ilatipt, and no stops would hove been made between the fcxas lino and Hot Springs. But he wouldn't take this train, and after shaking In his boots at the possibility of being carried to tho springs, he throw himself Into tho arms of a state detective. This made It possible for Clarke to stop the fight. He had been "four iltirihing" all along, but with both of us in Hot Springs he would have been powerless to prevent the contest. It may soem that I am tnkltur lib- ertles with the big chief of Arkansas, but what I say Is the truth. All ques tion of stakes bad been abandoned bv mo days before we both met at Little Rock.

Prof, Moore Hopes to Ha Able Make Charts of the Air at Three Miles High. to Forecasting great storms by menu of balloon in the lurgtst scheme of sc once to enable the weather bureau to make Its promise good. Prof. W. L, Moore, the new chief of the Bureau will have the experiment lu charge. "We know tha1, a thunder storm has Its Inception away In the upper regl on, and liegins thcre sometime be fore we feel 14 here, and we know how to predict It, but as to the grat storms of five hundred or n thousand miles lu diameter, the main fom that cause them may Ix'gin to osrat shere long time More we feel them down here.

"Hut I have some Ideas by which 1 think we can erect an nlr-shlp-a sort of combination between a balloon and a kite, combining the principle of the iiotn that will not only carry our In strum-outs to the height we desire, but which will remain there for a suffici ent length of time, although mailt captive. "We will have to have something that will b forced up Into tho air the same as a kilo Is, and jet a kite wlil not answer the purpiwte, for It's a hard thing to force a kite into the nlr much over 1,500 feet. In this ulr-shlp, or whatever it may bo culled, wo will place our Instruments which will be automatic, We have yet to perfect some of the Instruments, although I am qui to sure It will be simple enough and the ontcomi promises to be fruit- nil enough to pay us to make tho ef fort.

"In tho last twenty-five years we have been almost able to reach the nemo of forecasting, n can lie seen from our forecasts. We can even make better forecasts with our forces at work In the air. If wo are able to reach the upper air regions we can now make charts to show iho condi tion of the atmosphere at the earth's surface we can make charts to show tho condition of the air at some place two or three miles high. If the exper iments npiKar to Iks of no value wo will drop itlicm and stop the expense, "I do not know that we will lw able to forecast, by that means, and I am not sanguine, but we will strive to do so. I am now simply working In that direction. There Is always a great deal of most valuable property lost by storms of great magnitude, and If we are able to foretell such a storm two or three days In advanco of Its coming it win give the people ample time to prepare for It. If we can find n way by which we will be able to read the air In tho upper regions we can fore cast such storms." Referring to the people who have Inventions and plans of their own for the forecasting of storms and atmos pheric disturbance, Prof. Mooro said : "I probably receive more letters from cranks than any other person in the country, and you have no Idea how many absurd propositions are made.

Here Is an Idea. It Is a cane made In four panels. each one cut umbrella fiixlilou, having its own flare, and be nc edged all around with fur. Two panels hang In front, two at tho back, nnd the divi sions Is-twwn them come In -the mid dle of tho back, In tho front and over each arm. The over-arm division Is where tho saving In cloth comes, Hie Having also In Hare, and where a per tain iilctiiresoitnii'N Is secured that clutches the woman who wants some thing a III tie new, The front panels ran forward, and the tdceve of the gown Ixviiioatu glials and even pushes mroiign mo opening. If tho wearer foars that till the protection of the gar ment win ho Wins sacrificed, the editor of tho panels may be connected by nn minor piece or the liiaterlnl of tilie cape which will hold tho imnels together nnd make an nil-round capo of the gar ment wtiiiout t lio use of ns much cloth n would bo necessary to mmtilv the needed funnel tho capo of usual shajie wouiti require to got over the coves. There Is a high collar, of course, niwl there should bo a muff to malteh the trimming of fur. Those capes aro very Ktylish. made up in deep red felt, edgwl with fine martin or any glossy black fur. For very dressy wear, a gray-blue fell lined and edged with chinchilla is nllmut the prettiest tilling one could in dulge In. So remember than with n cape that spreads, and with a high fur collar that turns up, only a large hat should bo worn. At the other end, the skirt should set out well to balance tho flare of the capo. i Little bibs of fur woll pointed front and tuu-k and it slwrt on tin sliout uVr take a high collar of the five-point ordor, end all around tho tg f b bill see set liimiiuifttlib! rullle of chif fon all Inlaid Willi laeo. Tho -ffee Is of a comfortably deep wrap, while the flurry chiffon and high collar together givo a Miio of warmth, but Ibis will Ik more apiwrctit to itbservcm than to lliu wearer n cold day.

It Is presumed thst the etyuio ogb al significance of this niqw-llatioii, wbowe roitt menus "to sail," Is due to the fact that this cluster was a much nrUoil guide to the mariner.

It ls not dif ficult to Imagine a baleful light flash Ing from (lie "eye," while the star- tipped horns menace the mighty hunt cr iicnenth.

Far in the south shines a star of the lht magnitude, quite solitary lu Its glory. It is known as Forninllmut, lu tho Southern Pish.
