SHOW CHARACTER OF METAL Sparks Enable Expert to. Make Sure Determination of Steel’'s Hard- - " ness and Quality. e

A simple method of approximate an-. alyzation of metal has been introduced in France recently, based upon the sparks emitted when the steel is pressed upon a grindstone, Each kind of steel gives its own characteristic shower of sparks, from which a practiced eye can judge of its ‘hardness and quality. There are three principal forms of sparks. ' In the first, thie incandescent particle makes very fine luminous threads. In the second, the shower is decorated with a few explosions of tiny “shells.” In the third, the shower is made up of these little explosions. In addition to these forms, the expert classifles the sparks by their color, red, yellow or white in & great ‘variety of shades. The grinding is, of course, done in a dark room. = .

| A piece of steel containing a little carbon makes straight yellow lines; as the content of carbon increases explosive sparks appear and become more numerous the more carbon there is, and the straight rays diminish in’ size and number. Steels with a high car‘bon content give a short shower of sparks, explosions taking place near the extremity and all dazzling white. - Steels containing 18 per cent tungsten give only a few dark red rays. Manganese steels give white sparks with explosions at the end and sometimes in the middle. Chrome-tungsten steel gives bright red and dark red rajys alternating with the white, = - :

STOPS SPREAD OF DISEASE How the Panama Canal Has Been Turned to Good Account 2as ! = ' g'4Health Filter” . - " The geographiecal position €¢ the Panama canal makes it possivle to‘ utilize it, in a quarantine sense, as a_ gigantic filter for the removal of disease from the circulation of marvitime commerce, thus inhibiting the spread of disease, according to a report of the Panama canal health department. The periodic fumigation of ships, the instruction of owners, agents and officers of ships as to the necessity for adequately rat-guarding vessels, the vaccination of crews, and passengers and the investigation of disease outbreaks on board -arriving ships, combine to this end as well as to the protection of the Canal Zone and the vessels uging canal ports and -waterways. For example, an outbhreak of mild smallpox on one vessel was handted without secondary cases or spread to other ships'of the fleet, and cerebrospinal meningitis on another steamship: was also successfully controfled. b o - . It is believed that the order' directing attention to the necessity for adequately rat-guarding ships has produced results of widespread benetfit; certainly the requirement of periodic fumigating has reduced greatly the occurrence of rodents on ships; _many of which formerly teemed with rats, but now contain very few. '

Africa Shy of Radium.

- The world must come back to. Colorado for its radium. Dr. C. H. Viol of the Standard Chemical company’s research laboratory says that the two ounces of this precious element estimated to be the total quantity in the rich mineral deposits of the Belgian Congo, are only enough to supply the world for about three years. These African radium ores discovered in 1913 have been found to be 'much ‘richer than the deposits in this country and the cheaper production made possible by the fact has " already caused a ‘drop in the market price from $lOO,OOO a gram to $70,000 a gram. TUnless richer deposits are soon found elsewhere, the world will again be dependent for its supply on the ores in our western states.

Rio Grande Rectification.

As a result of destructive floods in. recent years, it Is seriously proposed to. undertake extensive alterations in the river channel in the El Paso district. Progressive rise of the river bottom and the ,water table in and around the city have now reached the point where very moderate flood stages in the stream entail heavy property losses. A scheme is outlined for shortening the channel, by straightening, to such an extent that a materially sharper run-off may be obtained. The necessity for securing -the Mexican government’s approval and perhaps even co-operation is apparently the chief obstacle, though the engineering difficulties are also 'such as_ to call for thought.—Scientific American. v

Endangers Fur Animals.

_:According to Dr. William T. Hornaday it takes 80 skins to makeé the average mink wrap, 200 for a squirrel coat, and 280 for a black mole coat, 90 skins may go to the making of a gtriped skunk jacket, and 300 to a Siberian -ermine wrap.: Before many years, if the present rate of slaughter continues, many of our most interestihg animals will be practically extinet; even now the trapper is forced: farther afiéld, and skins once unmar ketable are being used to supply the deficiency.—Scientific American.

iDEA PROVIDES NEW THRILL Scenic Railway Two Miles High finder Congtruction—Will Give Wonder- ‘ ful View of Mont Blanc. Think of swooping through the air, from Alpine crag to crag, on a real scenic railway over two miles. high! This queerest of engineering projects,: stranger than anything'that has been attempted before, pot only has proved: feasible but part of the line is now in operation. It was under construetion when the war broke out, but the suspended work -has recommenced, and, according to press dispatches, the line soon will be open to tourists. -

. This" unigue railway, technically known as a teleferique, will run from: Les Bessons in the Chamonix val_.ley,‘i{, France, up:the Aiguille: du Midi, 12,608 feet high, one of the jagged, precipitous needles in the Mont Blang range. Tourists, in’ 90 minutes, will be transported from summer heat to the Arctie zone of Mont Blane, swooping safely, through the air while avalanches of snow and ice erash harmlessly by, hundreds of feet beneath the suspended cars. . ~

The idea behind this ncvel engineering feat is to transpert tourists skywerd to the land of eterna) snow and| ice. Hundreds of thousands &f tourists have seen-Mont Blanc from below, but by means of this teleferique line mapy will ‘be. transported safely and| comfortably to a spot where only the hardiest of alpinists have ever ventured, and where visitors wishing to! escape the heat of summer may indulge in all kinds of winter sports,—Seciens tific American. .' i

FISH THAT CAN CLIMB TREES Nature Has Endowed the Goby With " More Than Its Share of Physlial ; - Requirements, o The goby is a fish that lives mainly in warm countries. It often crawls ut of the water in large numbers, and skips and plays on shore like a lively kitten. In the copntries where these wonderful fish are found the shores in many places are covered with low mangrove trees, and up these the goby climbs in seareh of food. S

These fish have developed out of their fore fing what look' like arms, with hands with webbed fingers, which; help them to get over the ground, and out of their hind fins a kind of sucker, or sucking disk, by’ means of which they can cling closely to the bark of a tree. . Lo g

‘The goby lis sometimes called a “mudskipper;” because it goes “skipping iﬁ;ng over the wet sands and mud, even skipping with great speed over the surface of the water,” says one writer.. “It ehases its_insect prey, among rocks, leaves and weeds, and out of the Wate}"; is as agile as a lizard.” A

The eyes are raised on stalks so that the creature can look in all directions without . turning the head. Gobies have been timed to stay from three to six hours out of water.

Original Tipper Objects to Tips.

The tipping system might be said to hail from England, at least it has been allowed to flourish there for a great many years, but the Englishmen are now criticizing. the American’ tourists for their generosity in the matters of tips. Recently several publications have had articles or this subject. A correspondent of one paper -says it is almost impossible for other tourists to get any attention whatever when there are American tourists ‘to be served at the baggage rooms of the railroad stations. It 18 asserted - that ‘the Americans are unnecessarily extravagant in the matter of tips and the English people do ot like them any the better for it.

The Miser's Lot.

John D. Rockefeller, Jr., said in one of his brilliant class addresses:

“Young men should be saving, but not miserly. There is no greater folly than miserliness. G e :

“A young man on a seaside excursion was lunching in a' cafeteria. All at once he leaned back in his chair and heaved a tremendous sigh—a sigh half of rage and half of grief. @ - * “What'’s the matter, Bill? said the other young man who was with him, ~ “Bill pointed to-his plate, : | *‘This here steak and kidney pie, he explained, ‘see all that kidney? Well I saved it up to eat at the last, and now I'm so full I ean’t look at it. Gee, ain’t it a shame? ” e
