WE FEATURE QUALITY The Best in Fresh and Cured Meats Phone 89-J Free Delivery Chromium la a Silvery, Hard Crystalline Metal Chrome yellow, chrome steel, chrome leather, chrome green, and chrome alum are the names of a number of outwardly highly dissim ilar materials, and the layman may wonder why a single adjective, chrome, la used to describe all of them. The word means that they all contain the element chromium, a substance whose unusual and varied properties give it an unusual posi tion in the chemical industry, says Dr. Thomas M Beck, in the Chi cago Tribune. Chromium is a silvery, hard, crys talline metal. It is about as heavy 1 as iron and melts at about the same temperature. It Is obtained chiefly from the ore chromite, which is found in a few scattered deposits, chiefly in Rhodesia and New Cale donia. The ore is a compound of chromium with oxygen and iron It is worked up by roasting with soda at high temperatures in a current of air. The resulting mass is then washed with hot water, which dis solves the chromium content as one of its compounds, sodium chromate, which may then be converted into the other desired compounds of the metal. The name chromium is derived from a Greek word meaning color. The compounds of many metals, such as aluminum, lead, or zinc, are colorless (unless, of course, they are combined with some color-pro ducing element). Compounds of must other metals exhibit a single characteristic color, such as the blue of copper compounds or the green of nickel. But the many com pounds of chromium present an ar ray of color that can be matched only by Joseph’s coat. Cacti Native of Americas With one exception, all of the cacti of the world are native to the Amer icas. From here they have been transported to the far corners of the earth, and are every much at home tn Africa, the island of Mauritius, and even in Ceylon, according to a writer in the Is)« Angeles Times. In Australia and other sections of the globe they grow in profusion, until many a traveler has been tricked into thinking of them as indigenous to those countries. Yet it is in the southwestern portion of the United States. Lower California and old Mexico and some sections of South America that they are found grow ing in their native state most abun dantly. Some species of cacti, like the tuna, are edible, while others are deadly poison; a few contain juices which are intoxicant and some bring on insanity. The Apuntias Nopaleas bear fruit which is commonly called piickly pear The products of cer tain species of Echinocereus arc called alichoches by the Mexicans and strawberry cacti by Americans —due to the fine flavor of the juicy pulp. Food Plantn Used by Indians A lichen growing on the bark of pine and fir trees in the Columbia river area which was sprinkled with water, allowed to ferment, then rolled in large balls and baked’ in an oven, was one of the favorite foods used by the Indians. The pal atable roots of the arrowhead which were boiled or roasted by nearly all the Indian tribes. The annual wild rice, which grows in great fields along the Potomac and was one of the most Important of all Indian cereals. It is not a true rice, but is almost indistinguishable from that grain. The corme of the jack-in-the-pulpit was known as Iro quois bread root. The sumac, whose acid fruit was used to make cool ing drinks resembling lemonade. The fruits of numerous wild roses were eaten both fresh and dried. House for Three Cost >10.M A house on the Kansas prairies, that cost |10.05 in 1877, was a home to three pioneers.
