What is Tin Ware 7

It docs not appear to be generally y
known that the article 30 commonly J
used for hous ehold utensils, TO,
cans, for roofing, etc, called "tin,
really contains very little tin, sci.

fifty. Tin, pure, is a silvery white
metal, aud is the lightost aud easiest
melted OF all the metals in common
use it being about FIVE eighth az
heavy as lead, aud requires only
about twO-.hirds tue heat to melt it.
Pure tin is called "block-tin," but II
is rarely used pure, the utensils
said TO be made Of block tin, being
alloys with other metals. Our com
mon tin ware is really tin plate--a
thin sheet OF iron, coated with a
film OF tin. Plates OF iron of the

exposed to air, does not rust or even
tarnish, while iron readily does so

The eaase ci Thunder.

Whether this be so or not, I am moi

vacuum is created in the path Of the
electric spark, and that the subss

would also draw your attention to
tho fact that every thunder clap is
