Gated. which will endeavor to secure
the transfer of the Jewish Sabbath
to the first day Of the week. It is
urged that this uniformity would
add greatly to the influence Of the
principle and practice of resting one
day in seven. We believe that the
practice is not only scriptural and
beneficial, but essential to the high

FaIlacies in Regard to Diet.

That there is any nutriment in beef tea
made from extracts. There is none

That an egg is equal to a pound of
mest, and that every sick person can eat
them. Many, especially those of nervous
or bilious Temperament, cannot eat them,
and to such eggs are injurious.
That because milk is an important ar
ticle of focd it must be forced upon pa
tient. Food that person cannot endure
will not cure.
That arrowroot is nutritious. 1t is sim
ply starch and water, useful as restora
tive, Quickly prepared.
That cheese is injurious in all cases.
1t is, as a rule, contra-indicated, being
usually indigestible; but it is concen-
trated nutriment and a waste-repairer,
and often crayed.
That the cravings of patient are
whims and should be denied. The stom-
ach often needs, Graves for and digests

Such are, for example, fruit, pickles,
jams, cake, ham or bacon, with fat,

A leet of Ocean Steamers.

he wonderful increase since the war
of tn. mercantile marine sailing from this
port would appear surprising were it not
for the fact that it is going on daily be-
fore our eyes. Sailing day is no longer
confined to the last of the week, as it was
prior TO the civil war Neither is the
expected arrival of steamship from
Europe watched with so much interest.
Every day witnesses the departure and
arrival of some one or more large ocean
steam vessels, carrying almost village
of passengers each. During 1885 the
Board of Inspectors of Foreign Vessels
granted 148 certificate for ocean passen-
ger steamships with foreign bottoms to
sail from this port This did not include
any of the coa>ting steamers, or American
vessels engaged in trade with the West
Indies, Central or South America. Sew
eral new vessels have been added to the
foreign ocean list this year, so that the
number now exceeds $50. These are con-
stantly coming to and going from this
port At this season of the year every
avaible vessel of this character is called
into nse, and berths are engaged rar
ahead in order to secure comfort and
convenience. And yet there is not one
steamship between here and England OF

London Bridge.

The first London bridge is said to have
been in existence since the tenth century.
A bridge was built of wood over the
Thames in 10l4, which partly burned in
1136. Old London bridge, which exist
ed until the beginning of the present CEN
tury, was built of stone. 1t was com
menced in 1176 by Peter of Colechurch,
who belonged to a religious and labor
fraternity called "Brethren of the
Bridge" Peter died before the compile
ton of his work, and was buried in the
crypt of the chapel erected on the centre
pier, in accordance with the custom of
his society, which always provided that
any member who died when superintend-
ing an important work should be en-
tombed within the structure. The
bridge was completed during the reign
of King John, in the year 1909. 1t was
chiefly remarkable for its massiveness
and the great amount of material used in
its construction. 1t had twenty arches in
a span of $40 feet, with piers varying in
solidity from twenty five to forty feet, SO
that two-thirds of the stream was occu-
pied by piers, and in low water even a
greater proportion, leaving less than one
fourth of the whole span for waterway.
Houses were built on each side of the
bridge, connected by large arches of
timber that crossed the street. In July,
1912, fire in the city at one end of the
bridge brought great crowds of people
upon the bridge; the building at the
other end then caught fire and cut off all
way of escape, so that over 5000 persons
were killed, being trampled on, burned
OF drowned. In 1900 the bridge was
again restored, but was thrice subse-
quently burned and rebuilt, in 1471, in
1852 and in 1925. In 1856 all the
houses upon the bridge were pulled
down. In 1922 the corporation adver-
tised for designs for new bridge, that
made by John Rennie was approved, and
the work was executed by his sons. John
and George. The first pile was driven
200 feet to the west of the old bridge
March Is, 1924; the first stone was laid
June Is, 1895, and the bridge was opened
by King William w., August /, 1881.
This bridge is quite an imposing struc-
ture of granite, it has total length OF
92S feet, with five elliptical arches, the
span of the centre arch being 152 feet.
The cost of the bridge was e5O6, ,000.-
Inter- Ocean.

Irons Possible Rlral.

We have no authentic history of the
gradual introduction of iron into the
uses of civilized man; but given the
rough brown or gray stone that we have
in our ores, it is evident that the whole
was not transformed in an hour or day
into the exquisite temper of the Damas-
Gus blade. 1t is also probable that while
it was still rare and expensive metal,
available only to those who were high in
wealth and rank, that the possibilities of
its varied structure were well known.
But to bring all of these varied uses to
which it has attained within the G asp
of the ordinary man has taken untold
centuries of pains and labor, and discov-
cry upon discovery has been required to
develop it.
Now new metal is coming upon the
field, which some claim will soon be all
its own, and iron, the metal heretofore
without a peer, and the greatest factor
of human progress, must step down and
out. Aluminium, they say, can be
hardened till the diamond is lis only
rival; it can be dtawn into wire 50 fine
or hammered into sheets SO thin that
HOlO-UCdlOL dlOAC Cdu w AuC WI IA :,
the tensile strength of the wire rises to
100000 pounds to the square inch of
section; water and atmosphere cannot
corrode it; it will burnish like polished
silver, blows cannot crystalline it, and
its conductivity of heat surpasses that of
copper. Then its alloys make an anti
friction metal that goes beyond the
power of brass or babbitt to produce.
Sixty years ago q drop of aluminium
was produced in German laboratory
after research of fifty years with the best
appliances of the time, and twenty years
more were necessary to produce larger
bead. Then in ten years more the metal
was on the market at $32 per pound.
Since then chemistry has been strug-
Cling with the task and by its constant
efforts the price has dropped to SIS a
pound, and now new discoverer tells
that it can be put on the market at $4 to
the pounds We know the metal well,
and the chemist has tried it in his labora-
tory; he has hammered and drawn, and
melted and hardened, until every quality
is known, but still the price must make it
rare. 1t costs one eighth the price of
thirty years ago, and still it is 400 times
the cost of iron. So it matters little that
it stands third in quantity of all the sub
stances of which the earth is formed, that
it lies about us in every bed of clay, or
shale, and that nearly every rock is but
an ore bed with wondrous possibilities
so long as nature holds the secret key by
which it can be Unlocked and freed from
the combinations in which we find it, it
cannot take the place of iron. That this
may come in time is not beyond the
range of what can be regarded as posi-
bility, but it must come by slow and la
bored steps; meanwhile our iron will
hold its own and be used as heretofore,
while aluminium must be laboratory
metal for while, and get occasional ap-
plication in the more expensive imple
meats of science.-P0aoer-

The Diet Too Thin.

Some eight years ago community was
started at North Anaheim, the leading
tenets of which were to hold all property
in common and to coafne their diet to
fruit, vegetables and grain in their raw
state. The experiment has been con-
Quoted with the utmost zeal and good
faith, but whatever may be the financial
result, concerning which We have no
data, it has proved gastronomic disaster.
The Los Angeles Herald says that ''onc
after another has left the society b.
resignation or starvatian until only a:"w
are left hanging on the verge OF life"
The end of the experiment is now rot far
off. The spiritual adviser of the society,
Walter Lockwood Thayer, is stated to be
SO nearly starved to deatf. that he is too
weak to leave his bed, and Mrs. Hinde,
the wife Of the founder of the commu-
nifty, is in the last stages of inanition for
want of nourishmcnt. San Francisco

"Hippophagy is now seldom heard of, !"
says the London st. Jdmes's Gazette. "a
few years sgo it was strongly advocated
in many quarters; but the British public,
although ready to swallow almost any
thing in the way of food put before 1t,
never took kindly to horse flesh, and
turned deaf ear to the persuasions of
those who recommended the adoption of
this kind of diet. 1t is probable, how
ever that horse-hesh is often eaten un-
awares, and that its consumption is far
more common than is generally imagined.
Butchers whose consciences are not ten
der occasionally, it is to be feared, sell
horse-hesh as ordinary meat to unsus-
pecting customers. An attempt is about
to be made to put matters in this respect
on a more satisfactory footing. At a
meeting held recently for the purpose
of eiciting an expression of opinion
from the butchers of Manchester and Sal
ford with regard to the sale of horse
flesh as human food, it was decided to
appoint a committee for the purpose of
getting an act of Parliament passed to
compel butchers who sell horse-fesh to
label it as SUCH"

Woman is rapidly winning her way il
the English civil service. According tc
the London Times the extension of the
field of women's work in twenty five
years is remarkable. The census returns
show that while in 1861 there were only
1881 women employed in the civil SER
vice, there were in 1881 no fewer than
1870, and the numbers, owing to the
growth of the postofiicc system, are now
much higher. The women clerks and
accountants had in the same period risen
from 404 to GAIA. 1t is a curious fact
that of all the pursuits the employment
society recognizes as suited to their eli
ents, hair-dressing is the only one which
the census returns show to be passing
out of women's hands.

A very simple and valuable code of ice
signals has been published by Mr.. F.
Wyneken, of New York, which, the
Herald says. commends itself to officers
of transatlantic steamers. Mr.. Wyneken
divides the North Atlantic ice regions
into squares of one degree Of latitude and
longitude, and the most dangerous part
Of this region into smaller areas, inserting
in each area on the chart two letters.
BY the use of the international Code Of
Signals any vessel which has sighted ice
can warn other vessels she may happen to
pass by a single display of the new ''ice
flag in combination with the flags of the
International Code corresponding to these
letters By the adoption of this code a
steamer approaching the ice region can
quickly ascertain from any vessel which
has crossed the Newfoundland Banks
just where ice was seen, and what kind
OF ice (whether heavy pack, icebergs or
light field ice). Such code, the Herald
thinks, ought to be introduced at once
into all steamers sailing between Europe
and America, as it would undoubtedly
contribute very materially both 10 the
celerity and safety Of their navigation.
