CENTENARY OF FIRST BISHOPOf MINNESOTA (Continued from Pace i hardship^ through which men of ordi nary strength could not have lived. Seeing the evils arising from mal administration of Indian affiairs, he sought to bring about better methods, and when, despite the efforts of him self and those who wrought with him, the Indians became aroused, he labor ed first to prevent an open outbreak and later to mollify its effects. During all these experiences Bish op Whipple was to the Indians their champion in negotiations with the spiritual adviser and leader, their government, often their physician oi dentist or nurse, seeking by all means to win and hold their trust and confi dence. Probably the Northwestern Indians never had a wiser or more powerful champion- His fight against injustice to the red men was unremitting and effective. He sought to aid the In dian by bringing influence to bear high places. Te laid their needs be fore the House of Bishops of his own church and advocated their claims be fore the government authorities at Washington. His fame spread to all parts of America and abroad. Once, when he was on a viiit to England, Queen Victoria sent for him to bade him tell her about his life with the red men in the wilds of America. Bishop Whipple was in his 80th year at the time of his death. In his later years, following the appoint ment of a bishop coadjutor of Min nesota,, the venerable bishop let go mucH of the* active rdnjlmstrative work of the diocese. Bat* he contin ued, his interest the affairs of the Indians end also gave his personal at tention' to the conduct of the several schools and other institutions which fNk had founded at Faribault.

Two years of after-war research by the tellurium silemum committee of the National Research Council, head ed by Dr. Lenher, covering intensive detailed work of dozens -ci scientists all over the country in an effort to utilize these metals, were related by Dr. Lenher today. The new process, he said, was com paratively simple, as regards execu tion. One part by weight of diethyl telluride, a chemical mixture of this "worthless" metal with carbon com pounds, is mixed with 10,000 parts of gasoline. This mixture when explod ed after vaporization, in the cylinder heads of internal combustion engines such as automobile, airplane and marine engines, affects the chemical and physical actions so that the en gine under any circumstances of load or stress will not "knock" and will give a possible efficiency of 91 peldoned cont, whereas 70 per cent js the high est possible efficiency gained through the use of present grades of gasoline. Gasoline mileage will be doubled using this process. The speed and power of internal combustion engines will be boosted 30 per cent. This discovery is the result of two widely different linesthe Research Council in an attempt to find uses for telluride and silemum "useless" metals found with gold, and chemists attempting to find the "why" of knocking in automobile engines. Automobile engines don't knock at night, even on the steepest of hills, the chemists discovered. So they mixed water vapor with the gasoline vapor they fed gasoline engines, and they found it eliminated the "knock" and added power. But the difficultly oS making tats discovery applicable to motor cars prevented practicality. The reason of the "knock" wasn't found, but they did find out how to eliminate it. Then they experimented with other gases mixed with the gasoline fed their engines. They tried silemum oxyclonde, a discovery of) Dr. Len her in 1920, when he was trying to find a practical use for siienium. This compound was even more efficient than water vapor in eliminating the "knock" and adding power. Then they tried diethyl telluride, and found it most efficient) of Mi fact, it added so much power that ordinary gasoline engines, built to stand or dinary strains of gasoline explosions, can't stand the strain, and shake themselves to pieces in operation. If a sufficient quantity of the me tal is discovered, the discovery will revolutionize the gasoline-propelled world, Dr. Lenher said. Efficiency of everything that runs by "internal combustion" will be doubled. Every gear ratio will have to be changed to accommodate the new power, he said, and a readjustment or re-building of every automobile, air plane and marine engine wiU be nec essary to make possible the use oftion the new fuel. So the world's waiting for"fenough tellurium. For the information of seekers, tel lurium is a heavy, silver or silver black metal always found in its na tive or metallic state, or as an alloy of gold. It was discovered in 1782 in Telluride, Transylvania, Bohemia, in connection with the electrolytic of separating gold from the aser metals. Tellurium has also been found in connection with gold, copper and lead deposits in Australia and in Cripple Creek and Telluride, Colorado.

In that event A. G. (Doc.) Rutiedge, now assistant, might be made commissioner. Andrew J.

It will be remember ed that two years ago he was elmmat ed at the piimary election. Then fol lowed his court case against Kvale and his candidacy followed, the elec tion being won after strenuous efforts on the part of his friends. Newspa pers in his district are commenting on his lack of popularity in his home territory. I ISLAND LAKE FAMILY LOSESHOME 0i FIRE The Wi H. Whelan family of IsRailroad land Lake suffered a terrible loss last Friday night when their home and store burned to the ground. Noth ing was saved from the store and EostofEce and very little from the ouse. Fortunately no lives were lost and no one injured except John and Wil lie Whelan whose cheeks were burned. The fire started on the roof in the center of the house about 11 p. m.to and at 12 everything w?s lost. The family had retired early and was sleeping soundly. The alarm was given by John Whelan who awoke and found his room and bed ablaze The fire spread rapidly owing to the high wind, forcing the inmates to run into the street in their night clothing. The men of the village turned out in a few minutes but could save noth ing. The piano was gotten as far as far as the door, but had to be aban because of the smoke and flames."' Mrs. Whelan and daughter Olivia Roy are still suffering from the shock of the fire and exposure to the cold. The people in and around Island Lake are providing clothing and shel ter for the destitute family. They have also started a new home which will be made of logs and situated near their former home.

Efforts to make use of airplanes for the purpose of assisting ip the ef i forts to scale high mountains ha\e not been attended ^ith any great suc cess. In the Alps the varying condi tions of the snow surface has been a serious detriment to making landing's and "getaways." Again, on heights above 15,000 feet the rarity of the air begins to affect the steering and control of an airplane. At 20,000 feet, pilots say, control for landing Is doubtful and at still higher levels it Is Impossible. Of course, planes have climbed to more than 36,000 feet with the pilots kept alive by oxygen. But tbese have been straight up and down achievements. This is largely why the airplane idea has been given up on Mount Everest. More Dwelling Houses.

You cannot ask for better proof. Jacob Brown, proprietor of har ness shop, 106 Third St., Bemidji, says: "I was feeling pretty much out Of sorts because of trouble with my kidneys about six years ago. These organs were irregular in action, but my worst symptom was backache. My back just pained all the time, morn ing and night. I would wake up in the morning with my back stiff and lame and it was in that condition all day long. When I stooped at my work or turned suddenly, I got a sharp pain in my kidneys that hurt dreadfully. Sometimes when I got down, it was about all I could do to get up again. One day my attention was called to Doan's Kidney Pills, so I lost no time in getting a supply. I used only two boxes of this medicine it cured me. Up to this day, I have had no return of my former ail jhents." 60c, at all dealers. Foster Milburn Co., Mfgrs., Buffalo, N. Y. Advertisement.
