The Herald, 1908-05-29, Page 6STRENGTH OF GLASS. Harder'to Figure Than That of Many Other Substances, Glass is not a substance that we ma figure the strength of as we can a treat many others things with whieh we are familiar, says the Scientific Arr erieen. It varies greatly in itself. Thc. strongest glass, as a rule, breaks ixlo the greatest number of fragments. Comparing the strength of thin glass with thick, the former is relatively this stronger; this is a thing very af- ter, lost sight of. Then, again, s to the difference between rough plate anti polished plate, we find polished plete the stronger, This is perhaps to be attributed to the fact that all these very find surface hair cracks ar; polished out. •These 'only go into the glass to a certain depth and when they are all or nearly all polished and ground off, there is less chance for some of them to form the basis of a crick, and thereby the glass is in- creased in strength. Tests have been mode and some formulae have been arrived at. As was • to be expected, they show very irregular results as to the strength of glass. ll lack akka Black Plug The ChewingTobacco of QQality. l�1 1t, 41 lir 444444141,40.11411104...... What Was Lacking. A man who, had served two terms in Congress was making a campaign for a third term. In the course of a speech in the Town Hall at Broomcorn Junction, a village near the further boundary of his district, he said: "It is true, fellow citizens, that I have not always been able to do as much as I should like in the matter of internal improvements in this district, but I have never lost sight of your interests for a single moment. You have no idea of the obstacles that lie in the way of a Con- gressman who tries to seeure appropria- tions for public buildings, the improve- ment of navigable streams and the like for the benefit of his constituents, but I want to assure you, fellow citizens, that I have labored constantly in your behalf to the very best of my ability."

The boy stood on the bridge of a schooner beside the captain on a starry night. It suddenly became necessary for the captain to go below, and he said to the boy: "Here, take the wheel. 1'11 be back in a few minutes. Steer by that Yitar and you will be all right." The boy began to steer the boat, and soon he got her out of her course. The star now astern instead of ahead. He shouted down to the captain: "Hi, shipper, come up and find us rn- other star.

Whence will it be practicable to ob- tain aluminium already recognized as one of the most indispensable of metals —when the deposits of beauxite give out? T3eauxite is a kind of clay and the deposits have already been pretty well worked out. if aluminum is to reinain at a low price other sources of the me - tai must be discovered. On the face of it the problem would not seem difficult, inasmuch as every clay bank, it might be said, is an aluminium mine. But the difficulty lies in extracting it. In beatu- xi.te the metal occurs in the form of an oxide a.nd is easily separated by iroummoning electricity to the aid of che- inistry. But in ordinary clays it assumes Ole shape of a silicate 'and is costly to extract. It remains, then, for some in. genius chemist to devise a process by 'cph4eh the silicate may be compelled to yield the metal cheaply. When this has been accomplished the problem will be eettled for all time. Here is another op- portunity for ng. -'ntor's. 44* "Wee Hamlet insane?". "No doubt at all about it."

Great Britain is the happy hunting ground of the medical quack, if one van believe a member of the Chemists' As aceiation of London. Ile is quoted in Derrick's British Report as saying that two years ago the annual sale of pro- prietary medicines in Great Britain amounted to $40,000,000. In the United States and in most Eu- ropean countries some legislation either exists or has been attempted to limit or to stop the traffic in secret remedies. In England, based on the principle of. non-interference, absolute free play is given to it. It has been found expedient for the safety of the public to regulate the sale of poisons, but patent medicines, curiously enough, were exempt from the provisions of the law, a privilege which they enjoy together with legally quali- fied practitioners. In most countries the dealing in medi- cinal drugs and chemicals is reserved only to persons qualified by training, studies and examination—that is, to pharmacists. In England, by a curious misunderstanding of the functions of a pharmacist, he is recognized by law merely as a "poison seller," and any one who pleases may supply the public with medicines the identity or purity or ther- eapeutie value of which he may be ab- solutely ignorant, and by the simple device of packing them as a medicine and keeping the compostion secret he is able, by means of advertisement, to sub- situte himself for competent and quali- fied. medieal and pharmaceutical sr - vice. aer Surgery for Varicose Veins. A foreign medical man, Dr. C. F. Kiv- fin, makes a plea for operating on vari- cose veins by what he terms the method of multiple short incisons, claiming that it does not take so long to do the oper- ation as it does with other operations where the vein is removed, that it is not so apt to become infected, and that if one incision becomes infected it can be dealt with more readily and without infecting the others. There is no scar tissue at the knee joint, thereby causing no pain or limping while walking. There is practically no blood lost, especially none from the maid vein; what little blood is lost is from the skin. Conval- escence is much shorter a week to ten days' time being sufficient for the pat- ients to stay in bed; they should be up to work, by the end of two weeks. But if it is a ease where it was urgent for them to be back to business, three to five days would be sufficient to stay in the hospital before returning to light work. The convalescence is painless and uneventful. • Fled, Haling, Skin --chapped hands—blotches on the face —scalp irritation—a11 are cured by 9 YEARS BAD LEG. HEALED BY ZAM-BUK. Mr. G.

Catch Trout in Orchards. Game Warden Thomas Mullen, of Yakima county. has called the sportsmen of this d4s- triot together to devise some way of pro- tecting the game fish which are Now being slaughtered In thousands by being dumped on the orchards, and alfalfa fields from the irrigation ditches. The trout and salmon ester the ditches and then turn off into the laterals, finally end- ing their life in the grass where the water has splayed out and left them. Attorney Ed- ward Parker a few clays ago caught a six Pound rainbow In his pear orohard. Clinton Shnnon found - several trout in his orchard and numerous others have reported similiar finds. Small boys catch long strings of small trout by scooping them from the pools with their hands. Game Warden Mullen says that in some sections of the • valley the ranchers who want fish angle for them in the irrigation •ditches in preferenoe to the streams, the ditches being more accessible and the water slower and therefore better.— North Yakima earrespondenoe Seattle Post- Inntelligeneer.
