'Address him at gyesdina Reuss, Spail!" • Crescent, Toronto. In Great Britain alone the indirect waste attributable to disease amounts to $100,000,000 yearly, according to a statement recently ina.de by 'Viscoant Astor in the House of Lords. This is no idle talk made without due con- sideration, for Lord Astor has -for a long time •been interested •dri Social Reform and know a whereor. he speaks. Just fancy the conditions that prevail in some parts of the British Isles where it has been found that there are more than two million slum houses in which people were compelled to live in a state of „"positive indecency." _ •Protesting against present condi- tions, Lord Astor declared that. there are few things rnore costly than slums, which breed immorality, discontent, and revolution. • He added that the BrietiSh Isles had little to fear in the -*ay cif a revelution, but he would lose faith in the people if they became re- conciled to conditions under which they live at the present time. . The Archbishop •of York; who sup- ported Viscount Astor in his protest, thought that the average working- man s home shoilld contain three bed- rooms, a bathroom, a kitchen, and a sitting -room or living -room. Bishop Southwark, who lives in the East End of London, declared that bad housing was fertile ground for agitator's' against the presentsysttem: Though perhaps in a less degree, the same conditions prevail in our Canadian cities. There is far too much overcrowding, far too many areas that are -so congested as to Merit the name of "sluins.' When one real- izes how injurious slum areas are, not only to the health and moral.; of those who live there, but also to the general appearance and general welfare of the entire community, the wonder is that municipalities do not exer_t_ more ef- fort to have slum areas eliminated altogether. Of "course thereare diffi- culties in the way of removing slums` and houses that are practically unfit for human habitation: there may be such congestion of population that apart from their slum dwellings there is absolutely no place to house them. Again, the, cost of removing the slum areas may be so expensive as to pre- vent the municipality from undertak- ing the work, and so the disagreeable surroundings continue to exist. In our Canadian cities there is un- doubtedly much overcrowding. Rents are so high that apartments and fiats have to be' divided and sub -divided to provide accommodation that will con- form to the needs of •the pocketbook. And oftentimes the space.thils provid- edis hopelessly inadequate. Eapecial- ly objectionable is this state of affairs in the winter time, when the artifici- ally -heated air in houses becomes very impure and unfit for breathing, owing to the congestion of people, some of whom are habitually indoors. Apart from lung troubles, which often have their origin in ill-ventila,ted, unsani- tary dwellings,' the common cold is very prevalent, and may result in bronchitis, pneumonia'and .other dis- eases. Added to the danger of con- tracting illness of one kind or another is the discomfort of living, which re- sults in dissatisfaction of social con- ditions generally, and often is the match that lights -the torch Of revolu- tion and revolt. Proper and adequate housing of the people is one of the most important functimis of civilized government at the 'present time. 4 physical training class to He ou the.ir • • backs and moire their legs -as If rid- ing bicycle) --"Watson, 'What have you stopped. for?"

Car- bon black, a product of the incomplete combustion of natural gas, has not as yet been _manufactured in Canada, but the 'Mines, BranCh of the' Depart- ment of•Mines, through Mr. R. T. Els- worthy, of ' the chemical division, is this season, ma ing a field study an chemical investigation Of natnral gas in Western "Canada with particular re- gard to determining the composition, character and "gasoline content of these gases. At present natural gas containing ethane and other k hydro: carbons is ingreat' demand f manufacture .e.f carbon black., , . the Carbon black is a soft, light soot, somewhat similar to the sent produced by a' smoking kerosene lamp. • It is, however, a peoduct of the burning of natural gas. The flame, is impinged against a metal surface, which is kept cool by running water, and as the soot accumulates it As'Inechanically rC1110V- ed. The chief production centres at present are in West Virginia and Louisiana, where there are tremen- dous supplies of natural gas. Each of these states has stringent conservation legislation governing the use of the gas. In Louisiana, before the gas may be used for the `manufacture or carbon blackeethe gasoline content must be extracted, and in certain sections but 20 per cent. o 1±e daily output of the wells is permitted to be used for car- bon black manufacture. All possible efforts must be made to :Wald waith in the use'of the natural gala • How •-• important the industry is in Louisiana may be judged from the fact that one company's plant consists of 130 burn- ing houses; 114 by 12 feet. Canada has inany gas areas some of them situated at points distant from possible domestic utilization, and it is likely, as a result of the Mines Branch's investigations, that some of these may be found available for the economical production of carbon black. The Mining Lands Branch of the De- partment of the Interior is at present engaged in framing regulations for the priad,uction of carbon black from we119 no. ed on Dominion lands : - The pntario Government, it is re- ported, has recently given permission for the natural gas from a small field - in the Sarnia district to be 'used fo the production of carbon black, It is understood that development will ' place at once. ,The initial plant be of but limited size, and will permit of enlargement as the opportunity arises. Theyecovery of carbon black varies from one-quarter to two pounds per 1,000 cubic feet of gas, and 'the mar- ket price ranges from..17 to 22 cents, •per pound, with as high as 50 cents.; for special grades. The black is pack- ed in paper sacks for shipment. The uses of carbon black are almost innumerable. One of the chief uses is in the preparation of printing ink, such as this paper is printed with. By admixture with oils of different qual- ities and consistencies a wide range of ink may be made, from that which is termed news -ink to a grade suitable for the printing of the finest illus- trations. It is also used as e pigment in the manufacture of paint, in which case a loading nuiterial is generally added, usually barytee, In the malting of blackpolishes carbon black very gen- erally enters, while for phonograph records, fotultain pens, carbon paper', The magician counts the cards in a pack to show that there are only t ie usual, 52. A spectator takes out of the centre of the pack any num- • ber of cards he likes, withdrawing theisn in a bunch so that the magic- ian cannot know how many ,cards are taken. The cards are placed face down on the table and the spec- tator places' either on top of the pack or beneath it a number of cards k.nown only to himself. The cards are cut as many dines as desired. The performer counts the cards and immediately tells how many were added. When the magician counted the cards it gave him an excuse for dealing the cards face upward so that he might remember the names of the, top card .and the bottom . card.- The fact that cards were withdrawn trom the centre of the pack left these cards undisturbed. The spectator adds the number of - cards he desires and the cards are • cut. • The performer now deals the cards' face upward on the fable, mentally countinguntil he reaches the first of the cards he remem- bered. He etintinues dealing until he reacheinthenother card, he, re- membereds Then he counts the - cards, silently to the end of the pack. The minaber of cards preced- ing the first card, phis the number - following the second is`the number ` added. If this nuraber is obviously too large he gathers the cards up and deals them again, this time - counting the., cards between the ; noted cards. This will give the cor- rect number.
