ELECTRIC ARC MELTS STEEL.
Most Intense Heat Produced, is
From the Carbon Fire.
The most intense heat produced by
man is that of the electric arc, and
the possibilities of its aplication in
various branches of American indus-
try have only begun to be realized.
Like many other useful scientific
agents, the electric arc has been ad-
opted by the burglar. There i no
safe known that will not yield to the
electric carbon applied by the skilled
"safe cracker."
Aside from lighting, the most use-
ful purpose to which the electric are
has been put is in the mending of
broken or cracked castings and metal
parts of all kinds. A broken shaft,
for instance, can be resurrected from
the junk heap if a skilled workman,
with adequate arc apparatus, is given
a chance at it. Moreover, a broken
Metal piece repaired by the electric
are is as serviceable as when new
In fact, strain tests made upon re-
pairsi castings oaten results in breaks
age at a different point than where
the repair was made.
Operators are well protected against
danger. Due to the intense heat at
the point at which the carbon pours
its electrical fire upon the metal, the.
operators usually wear helmets, not:
unlike the gas -helmets of the present
war.

DODD'S KIDNEY PILLS CURED
WHEN DOCTOR'S FAILED.
Mr. M. A. Morrison Suffered From
Kidney Disease for Five Years—
Dodd's Kidney Pills Cured Him.
Tarbot, Victoria Co., C.B., June
12th (SpeciaL)— Cured of Kidney
trouble of five years' standing and of
which three doctors failed to cure
him, Mr. M. A. Morrison, a well
known resident of this place has no
hesitation in stating that he owes his
health to Dodd's Kidney Pills.
"I was so weak I could not walk
a quarter of a mile and to -day I am
able to attend to my work as well as
I was twenty years ago," Mr. Morri
son says. "For five years I suffered
from Kidney Disease. I ' was treat-
ed by three skilful doctors but got no
benefit.
"Then a friend advised me to use
Dodd's Kidney Pills, I went to the
druggist and got five boxes. Before
I had used four boxes I was com-
pletely cured..
"I advise anyone suffering fromlcid-
ney disease to use Dodd's Kidney Pills.
Anyone who wants to know more
aboub my cure has only to write to
me and I will tell them all about it"
Dodd's Kidney Pills are no experi-
ment. They have been curing kidney
disease in all parts of Canada for a
quarter of a century. Ask your
neighbors about them.
COTTON IS KING.
Germans May Have Nothing to
Wear Next Winter.
The economic aspects of the world
war were little understood in 1914, es-
pecially on this side of the Atlantic.
Indeed, many people made inquiry
as to why financial publications should
devote so much space to the war.
Now that Germany in her economic
isolation is calling loudly for peace,
the interwoven relations of modern
finance and commerce become stead-
ily more apparent, especially with
rubber in Germany $3.00 per ' ib. and
copper there 80c. bid, says the Wall
Street Journal.
To the question what Germany
lacks, the answers have beezi +!arious
Some have said she could not jfight
without copper. Others have declar-
ed rubber a war necessity. All sorts
of particularizations have been made
as to Germany's lack in food, milk,:
frying fats, beef, etc. If German
babies have suffered for milk it is be-
cause the Germans have slaughtered
their own cattle for the trench de-
fenders. If there has been lack of
fat for the frying pan., it is because
the army has used the fats for glycer-
ine in. explosives manufacture. As
to Germany's defiicencies, the answer
early in the war was that she was
deficient in diplomacy. After the
Lusitania and a year of letter -writ-
ing, a .bright lady remarks that the
real deficiency of Germany appears
to be common sense.
Shrewd financiers have been buying
cotton, yet with some misgivings, fcr
millions of bales of cotton are going

must cease some day very suddenly.
One of the shrewdest Amerioaa fin-
anciers privately remarks: "Germany

king. was true in America before
1860, but the Civil War and the north-
ern industrial expansion that followed
overthrew its sovereignty, and later it
was declared that pig iron was king
industrially.
"To -day, however, cotton is king in
European contest, and its scepter will
decide the fates against Germany
should all other material factors fail
to repress her. In my judgment,
Germany cannot go through the win-
ter because she cannot get either wool
or cotton to clothe herself. There is
not time between this and the next
snowflakes for German chemistry- to
overcome the simple problem of
clothing by any known chemistry
when cotton and wool are lacking."
Sign of a Fish Market.
The proprietor of a fish store had
a new sign:
"Fresh Fish for Sale Here."
"Why say 'here'?" said the first
customer. "It's unnecessary." •
He painted "here" out.
Said the second customer, "Why 'for
sale'? Of course, they're for sale."
He painted out two words more.
"Why `fresh'? said a third sus-
omen. "You wouldn't sell them if
they weren't fresh, would you?"
At last the sign read just "Fish."
Along came a• fourth customer.
"What's the use of having that
sign," he asked, "when you can smell
them a block away?"
A PATHETIC INCIDENT.
Not long ago a gentleman .who had
been living fairly well and was
thought well of, suddenly died. As
was natural, one of the first things
after his death, was the straightening
up of his estate, and when ' matters
were looked over and an inventory
taken of what he was supposed to be
possessed of, it was found that it
would take almost every available
cent to pay the outstanding obliga-
tions which he had contracted, with a
result that his family would be turned
oub upon the street.
It was heartrending to see them en-
deavoring to retain some articles of
furniture most dear tooth tit. Ilook-
ed as though' the house which they
had been accustomed to live in would
have to go, bub in packing up and
rummaging through some of the fur-
niture what was their relief when they
came across a policy for $5,000.00
which the late husband had been
carrying unknown to his family in the
Crown Life Insurance Company of
Toronto.
Nobice of the death was sent the
Company and a cheque was promptly
issued.
The mortgage was paid off, the fur-
niture was safe and there was a con-
siderable amount left over for present
needs.
This is an object lesson which should
appeal to every one of us and one and
all can make the same provision for
the family by insuring in the Crown
Life.
WHAT FRENCH REGAINED.
Germans Have Been Pushed Off More
Than 2,500 Square Mlles.
Roughly measured, the territory re-
gained from the Germans in France
exceeds 2,500 square miles. Its popu-
lation before the war was in the
neighborhood of half a mullion.
Within the redeemed area are some
of the most interesting places In
France, notably ,Rheims, the place of
coronation for moat of the kings of
France since the beginning of the
Capetian dynasty. The most famous
ceremony of this character to take
place here was the annointing of
Charles VII., after Joan of Archad
driven the English from before the
city walls. It was here, too, that
Clovis was baptized on Christmas
Day, in 496. Before the devastation
wrought by the present war the great
Rheims Cathedral was considered by
many critics of architecture the most
beautiful structure produced during
the. Middle Ages.
Amiens, with a p opulation of ninety
thousand before the war, is next In
importance among the salvaged cities.
Its cathedral, one of the most impos-
ing piles of Thirteenth Century archi-
tecture In Europe, was scarcely less.
famous than the one at Rheims.
Arras, also reclaimed, was noted
for its woollen manufactures before
the war. Its medieval .lays in tapes-
try hangings were so famous that the
name of, the city was adopted as .a
common noun for draperies In Eng-
land. nobespiorre, the revolutionist,
was born hi Arras.
