HomeMy WebLinkAboutExeter Advocate, 1906-4-19, Page 3NOTES AND COMMENTS In the last number of The Cottle M. Morgan Robertson , writes of the self- hypnosis of literary men. He tells how *hey have their whims, originating la tlicir own fancy end fostered be their own ready acceptance of them, till one authoir gannet write except under ono .stimulus and another under another, Mr. Robertson gives.some curious and interesting examples of these weakness- es among writers. It is one phase of the subject of the control of ...mind over body which appears also in the teach- ings a the various sorts of faith heal- ers or curers by suggestion. The sub- ject has boon so associated with cluu.la- tanry and deception in the pubild mind that, Rs realimporlanee has been. ob- •segred. A man may persuade himself to be- lieve almost anything. If he. believes :that he oannot work except under COP- tain conditions that belief is in effeet, • true. The author who could, not work unless the smell of rotting apples was in his nostrils was no more absurd than the man who must have tea av coffee, tobacco or whisky before he believes timself capable of doing his best. If it is a scientific fact that a man has .the power of hypnotizing himself so that the things of life assume abnormal relations to him, it is important that he •incline his mind to believe that which is • true and useful. If he is capable of per- suading. himself that he requires stimu- lants he is equally capable of persuading • himself that stimulants are unnecessary, •at any rate if he makes this auto -sug- gestion before his physical system is in a state of collapse through the evil ...effects of over -stimulation. The Impor- tant thing then for success is for each one to believe, with all his mind that he will succeed, that he can do the tasks -.which are set him, and that he is bet- ter off with his body in a healthy normal condition than when drugged. Old friends sometimes appear with new faces. The modern doctrine of •autohypnosis is nothing but the old teaching of the power of the will. Re- tolution, courage, persistence are names .under which different manifestations of strength have been known. Human, na- ture has not changed. It is better known and more scientifically analyzed, but the matter of investigation remains the same. While the battle is not al- ways to the strong the best rule of ac- tion is to go to the battle with as much strength end as few elements of _weak- ness as possible. Fictitious steength is greate,st weakness of all. # Will they call it beersteakaline? It 'begins with peptines and peptones. Peptones are decomposition products of albumeneand a result of the action of .certain re -agents found in the pancrea- tic glands and known as ferments, which decompose albumen. This decomposi- tion is a physiological process known to the lay mind as digestion. Without peptones the albumen which forms a -large percentage of our food would be about as nutritious as sand or wood. , Peptines are similar and are the anhy- dride acids. Prof. Emil Fischer, who in- vented the artificial production of grape sugar, concludes that albumen is no- thing but a compound built up of many peptines. By the synthesis of seven peptines he has already .produced a .compouna greatly' resembling albumen. It froths,- can be beaten into foam, and is decomposed or digested when treated with the juice taken. from the pancrea- tic duct of a dog. , He thinks that thirty •or forty peptines tom a peptone, and that albumen is a compound of several peptones. Science, therefore, has set to work to find out way e and means of combining as many peptines as pos- sible in order to achieve artificial albu- men.. Since albumen is the principal omponet part of the bodies of all ani- xnals, of grain and corn, of all our nourishment, this would mean artificial bread, artilicial meat, no more fears ever Nitres of crops. It would not be iinpossible to get neuelehment out, af ,coal. No more hungry folk. The social problem ought to be solved. SLAUGHTER OF INFANTS, affteain Thtiusund a Year Killed by Drugs in England.

Return to Old Paths Is the Great Need for Moral Uplifting • Stand ye in the.ways and see and ask for th. old paths.—Jeremiah vi., ' • Every renaissance and reformation, ON'OrY epochal movement that has to clo Witil the upward development of human life is marked by a return to old ways, iitrong, wholesome, clean, that have hug been neglected. Life's great moral principles, the 'highways over _which It. comes to its highest and truest develop- ment, are not susceptible to change, Coreattions and envirceinionts change with kaleidoscopic rapidity, bue those things that have to do with the moral welaboing, with character in its largest ogrichment . and devlopment, do not change. Honesty is the best policy to -day, es it has ever been, and no now -made law cif cominer.cial life can ever change% it. Purdy and decency and moral respecta- lblilly are not amenable to any new =e- ditions a modern life. Life's confusions, its persistent and insistent demands re- quire us to look up now and again those old guide'inaps by .which we shaped our course • IN THE EARLIER DAYS. We instance three departments of life In which tbere is an iergent need for this return to the old paths, namely, the commercial, the social and the religious. If anyone wishes to seek for the evi- dences of the need for a return to the old ways of commercial integrity, let him but note the colossal moral failures that have marked this so-called period of commercial development. The youths that are entering the several callings and vocations need to be reminded that there are ways that are highest and clean and wholesome, and that they are the only ways of permanence and satisfac- tion. What we find here we disclose again in our social life. There is a cer- tain purity and sterility, a. certala tech ,of reality and wholesomeness about ranch that masquerades es soeial life. Impurity and intemperance of life, whe- ther they wear broadcloth or homespun, are as. repugnant to the sense of de- cency to -day as they were when our fathers and mothers danced the minuet. There is a peculiar revival of interest ia the old furnishings of a fernier gener- ation. If WO would revive our environ- ments let us seek to bring back some- thing of their character, somethhag cf that splendid simplicity and genuine- ness that marked the finer life of our early days. It is needless to say that Parc, as in our commercial life, THERE ARE SAVING REMNANTS; that there are homes where the spirit ef true chivalry among men and true nobility and grace among \yomen keep pure and strong the currents of social intercourse, What we contend againet is that spurious thing that, for certain reasons of wealth or so-called social prestige, exhibits no restraint, and prac- tices no temperance in conduct. Again, the religious life of the twen- tieth century has beet described as in a "transition state" and we are disposed to think that this is largely so. But what is to be the transition? Where are we tending? There is almost -pathetic and tragic appeal to -day for the old paths and ways of religious experience. Much as the later expositorserad holy writ have done, and it is min, to give greater clearness to the interpretation of the Bible, there is a persistent cry, that rnust be heeded if the church is to pre- vail, for those old familiar and funda- mental truths that have to do with life and death arid • immortality.

Note.—The text of the Revised Version is used as a basis for these Word Studies. Between this lesson and the last must be placed the sending by Jolugthe Bala. tist of a last message to Jesus, recorded in Matthew 11. 2-19; Luke 7. 18, 35. Verse 36.

Apparently the work of Jesus, together with the multitudes attracted by his public utterances, had made on this Pharisee some impression, and he was inquisitive to know this man from O closer personal observation. His in- vitation seems to have been wholly patronizing in the spirit in which R was extended, a.nd may possibly have been given for the purpose of gaining the good will of the common people, who regarded Jesus as a prophet. It is to be noted that the Pharisee treated Jesus in no respect as bis equal, -and still less as an honored friend. Sat down to meat—Or, reclined at, table.

Following the Ore Through Smelter Until Finished Product Reached. ' V. In our last letter describing the pro- cess of smelting ore we saw the import- ant part that water plays. Your guide further informs you that two of the things which more than anything else are necessary in modern smelting are wind and water. "If I were to ask you," yew guide goes on, "what is the heav- iest thing that passes through these fur- naces, you would naturally answer `ore.' But in reality there are nearly twice as many pounds of air blown 111- -1-O these furnaces through the pipes that we call tuyeres as of anything else. The air serves two purposes. First of all, it keeps the coke burrieng, and so gen- e' ales heat. Then it burns the iron„ or a large portion of it, which is in the ore. .Tust as you have seen a blacksmith hammering a bar on alt anvil causing the .sparks and shreds of glowing iron tc fly around, so the air, rushing into the furnace, burns the iron and setsit free,, while the quartz rock, which you saw added, seizes this iron and unites with it to form slag." • Out of the furnace at this end flows matte and slag. Matte contains copper and nickel with a little sulphur and iron. The slagcontains the rock that was in the ore, the rock that was ad- ded and a little of the iron that was in the ore and was burned out. Both af these substances fall together into a large tank, which is called a "settler." The matte is heavier than the slag'and so sinks to the bottom. The slag flows 0!! 111(0 the slag cars, one of which al- ways standson the track below each furnace. The slag is carried out to the dumping ground. As it cools it forms good solid ground, on which it is hoped some day to erect NEW SHOPS AND OFFICES.. The matte, as already explained, sinks to the bottom of the "settler." As you watch an electric crane comes moving slowly down the building, carrying en enormous pot which is carefully depos- es in front of the "settler" directly un- der a clay -lined spouL At the end of this spout a steel bar sticks into the "settler" near the bottom. The fur - 0000 men pass a hook over the end of the protruding bar, and bending to their 1 work smite it on either side with heavy sledges. In a few minutes a stream of molten metal breaks from the tap hole. Slowly it runs at first, blood -red and thick. Then it falls with force, spark- ling in a brilliant orange -Colored cas- cade. As the metal falls beneath you the topper watches it critically. "It is high grade," he says. "flow do you know that?" you ask. . , i "Well," he replies, "it it runs out cold -looking and thicaolike this," and he points to the glowing stream, "that's good stuff. But if it runs out thm,..and there are sparks, then it Is low grade." It goes up the converter badly. "And then, you see— He does not finish the sentence, bet lumps into a sheet -iron shield which he throws across the stream m front cf him. In his left hand he seizes a long Iran rod, on the top of winch a pointed wad of .clay is fastened. Watching his chance he carefully places. the wad cf clay in position, „rains it home and closes tho spout. Along conies • Me crane, drops its tentacles or • hooks, which attendants fasten to the sides of the pot, which is now filled with glowing metal: Slowly the pot is lifted up and carried down the long building, til( it reaches a curious barreashaped. vessel \,vith a gaping mouth. That, your guide informs yon, is a. Bessemer con- verter. The word, perhaps conveys no meaning to you, but he explains that yenrs ago Sir Henry Bessemer discov- ered that if you melted pig iron and blew air through it you could burn out the impurities end turn (AA first- class steel. About twenty years ego it was discovered that the same principle saes applicable to the metallurgy of nickel. . ,.. . THE POT' OF MOLTEN METAL. Which Um erane has inst brought down the building, is poured into the mouth of the converter, which is a barrel-shap- ed steel Fosse, lined with quartz and clity. It seems a trivial matter," as in tact all the work done by the crane seems trivial; but here is O.

Cold sores will generally yield to an application of salaratus. • Remove warts by rubbing several times with onion dipped in salt, Place an apple in the cake box and cake will keep moist much longer. If you get too much bluing in the rins- ing water, put in a little household am- monia. A little milk added to the water in \vhich silver is washed will help to ke.9 it bright. Hold a piece of while cloth beek of the eye of a needle and see how quickly the thread will go through, A. little flour spread over the top cf cakes before they are iced will prevent the icing from running off.

There is a way to avoid all this. Around every house there are old tin lids, belonging to gone and forgotten saucepans. With a can -opener cu( hole in one of these lids, large enough tote 11 the little saucepan sit down, quite close to the fire. You will be surprised to find how much comfort it will bring. Old tin pie -plates, past their days of usefulness as such, will take a new lease of life as stove rings. They will be round part,icularly satisfactory, be4 cause their slope, or bevel, gives them a Ilrin reeling -place in the hole. It is well to have soverai 61 these rings, to fit favorite small saucepans. And don't forget to drive a nail or Iwo behind the stove, to hang them on, when not in use, After a little praetice you can movci thorn from stove to nen, very deftly with the stove lifter, thng avoiding soiling a holdee, or burning tbe fingers, You, "will blow for about two hours while the iron is •Isurning out. As the iron burns out it, unites with the quartz in the lining of the vessel and forms slag," When the converter has done ets work the product is carried outside and poured into long iron moelds, where it is allowed to cool and harden. After it has become cold in the moulds it is broken up with sledges into slabs about three inches. That is matte. That is the finished product so far as Canada is concerned. It carries about sixty per cent. nickel, and twenty-two per cent. copper. The rest is mainly sulphur, the iron having mostly disappeared in the smelting. In this state it is shipped to the refinery in the United States, where the copper and the nickel are finally seperated. "How much matte have you made to -day?" "Well, let, us see; 22 tons last night, and 16 to 18 tons to -day, with probably Iwo or three more before the shift changes—sd 40 tons for the 24 hours, it is not as high as has been done, hut the rock is not the best. We will do better when we get Into a new bed." "Simple, isn't it?" your guide re- marks; and you are tempted to answer, "YES, WHEN YOU KNOW HOW." Then your guide becomes reminis- cent. "Yes, when you know how. But it has taken time and courage and money toi learn how. Three years ago there was nothing here where we stand, but a rocky hillside and a swamp. It icok money and brains to effect the change. It took more. It took faith in the future. It took brains and money and. perseverance to produce the nickel. It took ability, foresight and courage to find the market and to seize it. If we cannot cause two blades of grass to grow where but one grew before, we nialce two pots of matte where there was less than one before, and to some extent we have accomplished the mir- acle of turning stones into bread." So far we have been tracing the his- tory of the successful development of the nickel industry. It is an inspiring story; but it is orily part. of tha history at Canadian nickel. There is another story, much less encouraging, but scarcely less interesting. The woods around are full of the evidences of fail- ure. To make the story coniplete both sides of it must be told. Something about the other side wilt be given in the articles of this series that are yet to appear. HOME. I ********Nf** . SELECTED RECIPES.
