ness that was of very material help
in providing war materials. One of
these latter minerals was molybden-
its, the sulphite of molybdenum. The
nieta1, lybd um, finds its greatest
.use as an alloy for -steel, which it
strengthens and eonseqoently reduces
the weight required. In, .electrical
work molybdenum replaces platinum
he a large extent at a much reduced
.cost. It is extensively used in radio
work.
Before the war there was practi-
cally no production of molybdenite in
Canada, with the exception of a few
tons of ore taken out on possibly two
occasions, A few Promising &Posits
and numerous occurrences of the tCoin"'
eral were already known, and the war
demand led to the active development
of the better known of thew and the
. .
systematic prospecting of numerous
occurrences of /the mineral. The Close
of the war quieltly out off the market
that had been developed and left large
supplies of the mineral eit the hands
of mineral brokers and consinners in
England. Prices at once declined and
Canadian operations ceased.
In the peak year of 1918, Canada
became the second largest producer of
molybdenite. Most of the output came
frem a deposit near Quyon, on the
Ottavee. river In Quebec, about 30
miles west of Ottawa. This mine for
some 'time was the world's lifrgest
producer. Since the war many ex-
periments have been made in the
making and testing of commercial
molybdenum steels. These have prov-
ed the value of low molybdenum alloy
ethels, a fraction of one per cent. of
the metal being- used for structural
and mighteering purposes *here great
'stresses and strains are involved.
The,export demand for molybdenum
is• reported to have improved to such
an extent as to warrant the re -opening
recently, of the Quyon mine. Enquir-
ies are being received from the Un-
ited States and Europe for supplies.
The concentrates from the above mine
range from 90 to 96 per cent. molyb-
denite, while what is recognized at;
standard and the grade upon Which
the market price is based in New
York is 85 per rent The increasing
number of commercial uses being
found for molybdenum as a result of
research and investigation may be
expected to creaee a geeater demand
for the metal and a more general min-
ing of molybdenite throughout Can-
ada to meet the demand.

"Big" Men.
To call a man "big" is to uethe a
challenge. Those who hear the word
applied are aroused to ask, "What
has he done?" It is useless for any
man to insist on his own pre-eminence;
his quality must be determined and
his place assigned by others who have
seen artd appraised his work.
The "big" man is not the noisiete.
His ere often the "schemes Ancome
plished in repose." He has great pa -
'biotite and.can wait. It does not fret
him to find other men arriving before
him; as he is not puffed up over any
success of his own, so, in the belief
that all work is more important than
the evorlcman, he is glad that a worthy
undertaking goes forward, whoever is
honored and rewarded for it.
It is the little man who clamors for
-the credit, and must be advertised as
the figure of supreme importance on
the landscape wherever he appears.
Petty claimants for applauseand
praise invite the amused tolerance of
the truly great, who wonder why hu-
man beings should so perturb them-
selves over the trivial insignia . of
rank, etitherity arid social precedenee.
What 14 any honor that man can be-
stow on inan-compared with the need'
of getting the woeld's work, done?
The little•rnan. calls a 'halt in the
middle of business to affirm his own
consequence, when the real importance
attaches not to him, nor to any other
person, but to the affair in hand. In
every sort of occuenition the peesonal
equation cannot' be ignored; there Is
need of sympathy between the human
factors, there is room.for the amen-
ities, and colleagues ought to be
friehds. But the thing to be done is
impersonal,' and it has no time to
• waste on the idiosyncrasies; of those
engaged in doing it. In /every task
that epgages human collaborators,
the teen who is too sensitive for hie
own "rights" and too ready to dis-
cover grievances is a detriment, and
all concerned would go further and
faster without him,
"Big" men are human and are lov-
ers of their kind. ' They are sociable
and affable. They do not care to wrap
theinSelVeS ill a veil of awful mystery
and make themselves inaccessible. But
they ..re too busily engaged .1n living
life to the full to hold ap traffic while
they achniringly expound. their own
achievement. You can tell the "beg"
man, because he never tries to tell you
how big he is.
