More Economical and Convenient Than Steam. Electric power is being used more extensively each year in building operations to drive concrete mixers, air compressors, hoists, etc. The main reason for this growing popularity is simply that electric drive is more economical and convenient than steam ; provided, of course, .alee tris current is available, as it usually is is the neighborhood of built-up coo munities. One man only is required to handle a motor -driven machine, and he need not be an experienced en gineer, as many workmen can learn to handle a motor in a short time. A single handle controls all operations— starting, stopping, reversing and changing he speed. There are no stand-by losses, either. The motor uses power only when actually run- ning, and when at rest involves no ex- pense whatever. Having no boiler, the machine is lighter and more compact than a steam -driven machine, and hence Is more readily moved and placed in position. On account of its compactness, a moor -driven hoist may be placed where it w,..1 not interfere with traffic, The absence of fire and sparks makes it safe even though it is crowded under the scaffolding: fables located overhead out of the way take the place of awkward, leak- ing pipes, and there is nothing to freeze in cold weather.

THE EARLIEST SUBMARINE An Englishman Devised the First "Diving Machine" in 1774. Most men would be satisfied to do nothing if they could get paid for do- ing it. • -- _ a Postern Cereal Battle Creek.Mich. In the development of the modern submarine the first and most impor- tant problem which demanded solution was that of supplying the occupants i of the craft with sufficient quantities e of air. All other problems were sec- ondary of this, and when the means of compressing air and storing it in tanks was discovered the rest was comparatively easy. Every schoolboy now knows that air is necessary to sustain life, but what is now a matter of common knowledge s was a secret to savants not so very n long ago. It was the lack of this sim- ple information which cost the life of d the inventor of the first submarine, John Day, an Englishman, who went s to his death 142 years ago.

DISEASES INCIDENT TO OCCUPATIONS HOUSEMAID'S KNEE A MALADY OF MINERS Dr. Patterson's Method of Curing Lead Poisoning by Electric Battery, The subject is interesting and im- portant cant as well as full of surprise. Housemaid's knee, for instance, which for many years has served as a subject for humorous comment, proves to be a frequent malady of miners. The statistician is abroad and he brings the information that trades carried on in the presence of much dust show a high death rate fromdiseases of the lungs. Then comes the biologist, who explains that dust is not only minute particles, but that the particles are usually sur- rounded by a watery envelop and that clinging to this filament there may be micro-organisms. Soot Is An Irritant. d The medical authorities abroad de Glare that soot is a serious irritant and that chimney sweeps are especi ally subject to cancer because of it Sawing certain kinds of wood has been found to produce irritation of the mucous membrane of the nose throat and eyes. The makers of white lead have looked lead poisoning square in the face and have foun. means to avoid it. Dr. Patterson de- vised. an entirely reasonable but some- what unexpected treatment for it. He immerses the patient's hand in one tub of salt water and his feet in an- other, and then a pole of an electric battery is put into each of the tubs, The current is turned on, using Mr. Patient as a conductor, and it carries the lead that it finds on the way out of him, through the salt solution de- positing it upon one of the electrodes. It has proved successful. Fatigue is another subject that has been studied and reported on. Strain. is declared to be more exhausting than work, and monotony of employment aggravates exhaustion. Fatigue seems to be a condition of the body in which the waste products of work are not carried off fast enough. In physiological laboratories animals have been fatigued by overdriving and then some of their blood has been injected into the veins of healthy ani- mals. The healthy animals straight- way showed the same symptoms of fatigue as those that had been over- worked. Chlorinated Water. In rubber factories and elsewhere, when bisulphate of carbon is used, great care must be taken to avoid contamination of the air by its offen- sive fumes. Otherwise nervous troubles are likely to follow. There is a bakers' itch, grocers' itch and sugar -refiners' itch, all mani- festations of eczema, according to the materials handled. The question is likely to be asked why boards of health do notuse chlor- nated water for flushing the streets, specially in hot, dry weather. This was first proposed by Dr. Baskerville six or seven years ago, and there is no question but that its effect upon disease germs in the street dust would be beneficial to the public health. Since the New York water upply has been treated with chlorine of a single case of typhoid fever has ecu traced to it as the cause. It is oubtful if any other satisfactory an- wer will be forthcoming than that the boards of health• haven't got around to it yet. inveiniag a submarine in which human beings could remain under water for a eons2derable length' of time.. aftera long thought he contrived what he called a "diving machine," which con- sisted simply of a large air -tight box, sufficiently large and strong to with- stand the pressure of the water at a considerable depth. Day's plan was to attach his water- tight box to an old vessel by means of screws. After Day entered the box it was tube carefully closed and, the ves- sel was to be sunk to a depth of 100 feet and at the end of 24 hours he was to disengage his box from the vessel by withdrawing the screws, thus ris- ing_to the surface. On June 22, 1774, Day's "submarine" was ready and a spot in Plymouth Sound was chosen for the test. The foolhardy inventor entered his tomb and the cover was fastened on. The vessel to which the box was attached wag then sunk .At the end of 24 hours a vast crowd gathered to see Day's • "Are you fond of music?" "Music!" xclaimed the enthusiastic young wo- man.

Russia's Railway Programme. In Russia plans are on foot for a con- ference regarding the railway con- struction programme for 1917 to 1929. Representatives of public and private business organizations from all parts of Russia will attend, besides repre- sentatives of the Imperial Govern- ment. The question of investment of private capital in railway construe- tion will be taken up, as well as of financing both of Government and private construction: The incapacity of men to under- stand each other is one of the princi- pal, causes of their ill -temper towards each other.

In Canada there is not the same supply of surplus available women, so that in this respect Canada has not experienced so great a revolu- tion in industrial life, but many new occupations are being opened to Canadian women, and the de- mand for women workers in factor- ies and in the great industrial life of the railways is steadily on the increase. If Sir Robert Borden is to secure his 500,000 Canadian sol- diers, 100,000 women must tempor- arily step into the shoes of men so that the latter may be released for service, as the limit of available men seems almost to be reached, Women are already working along- side of men in sacking and hauling of grain at the Great Lakes eleva- tors, in the Canadian Pacific yards and s\ps where they are cleaning cars, in the telegraph services and many clerical positions hither- held by men, They are acting in eine places as Station Agents with itisfaction to their employers.. ut Canadians who visit England are surprised to find women ticket in- spectors and guards, women as ele- vator attendants, women as chauf- feurs, and train conductors, women as red caps, porters and ticket clerks, women as locomotive cleaners and track greasers. 'SAVING COFFEE GROUNDS. rmans Are Panning to Make Use of Them. Coffee grounds, even if they are the leavings of "ersatz" coffee, are no longer to go to waste, but will contri- bute their share toward the nourish- ment of man and beast in Germany, according to a report in the London Mail, telling of the organization In Berlin of a plan to make use of the coffee grounds hitherto thrown away in most cases with kitchen refuse. It is the result of successful experi- ments to convert dried grounds into nourishing fodder for cattle. Special filtering process bus also been devised • for winning a certain "extract" from the grounds which bas been found suitable far human nourishment. It is now proposed that all public insti- tutions, such as barracks, hospitals and prisons, join with householders in' systematically saving up the coffee' grounds, which will be collected of- i !Wally at regular intervals.
