he permitted the domes clip to sad-.

other words, he has so much money
with which to buy wool for his mills.
If the foreign wool, which he is COM
PEELED to mix with domestic wool in
order to make good cloth, cost him
more, then he will pay less for domes-
tic wool, for he does not want to- ad-
vance the price Of his cloth, lest his
sales be curtailed, and that Is the sim
pie and only reason why wool was

Z Prot. Crookes and Drs. Odling and
Z. Meymott Tidy contributed a yalua-
! bic paper on The Action Of Water 81 On
Lead'' to the proceedings Of the recent
meeting Of the British association. They
find that the action Of soft water on
lead pipes does not depend uponits de-
] gree fsoftness, but to the amount Of sill
lea il contains. Where the silica was as
! low as 0:3 grain per gallon the water
dissolved the lead, but where it was more
i Than 81 grain the water had no solvent
| action on the lead pipes. It is therefore
recommend ed that the water should be
| filtered Of the works, and that where
necessary the filter-beds be 50 modified
'as to insure the silication Of the water
