First Pig Tin.

"The first pig of American tin has
been received by Hubbard, Spencer,
Bartlett & Co, of Chicago. The block
weighs about 40 pounds, and the word
Dakota has been nodded in n of its
sides in honor of the territory in which
the ore was mined Metal Worker.
1T may be worth while to contradict
this statement which is being circulated
by a large number of our exchanges.
The first pigs Of American tin-so far at
least AS our knowledge extends-were
produced in 1886, from ore found in
Bennington and Custer counties, Dakota,
me of these pigs weighed l2O pounds,
,',e other 80 pounds. Both were exhi-
bited at the office of the Age Of Steel in
8 6.n-Age IF Steel.

with gracious care he has warned us Of
our dependence upon his forbeararce,
and has taught us that obedience to his
holy law is the price of q continuance Of
his precious gifts. In acknowledgment
of all that God has done for us as a

and their marts of trade and traffic.
Let us give thanks for peace and social
order and contentment within our Dor
ders, and for orr advancement in all
that adds to national greatness. And
mindful Of the affective d~ispensation

knowledge his mercy in setting bounds

let our hearts be chastened by sympathy
with our fellow countrymen who have
suffered and who mourn. And as We
return thanks for all the blessings which
we have received from the hands of our
heavenly Father, let us not forget that
he has enjoined upon u charity and
on this day Of thanksgiving let us gener
ously remember the poor and needy, sc

To.a White as a Jail Bird.

The Republican, in common with
many other newspapers, has said many
mean things about Thos. IL. White. who
ia somewhat noted as a correspondent
Of the Loudon Financial News, and
whose aim it has been to denouncc the
Black Hills for petty and selfish reasons,
Int so far it has never been charged that
he was a Jail bird. However it seems
now to he founded on pretty good AL
thority that Mr.. White is not only a
defamer of the tin interests of the Black
Hills, but is now held for perjury and
will soon find a resting place in a dark,
dark dungeon. News has just been re-
ceiyed that he has been arrested in

THE DANGERS oF IMPURE AIR.

DANGERS OF h Z AIR.
Almost everybody knows that impure air
is harmful, and some know it well enough
and think about it enough to take pains to
avoid breathing it as much as they can. But.
great many people are forced to live where
they could not get very good air if they cared
enough about it to try to, and the result is
they die sooner than they might otherwise.
The Sanitary Institute of Great Britain has
been making some very interesting and in
structive experiments on the air of tenantsd
rooms. These experiments were conducted
by Professor Carnelly, Mr.. ]. S. Holdane and
DR.. Anderson, medical health officer, all of
Dundee, Scotland. Their report shows that
greatly increased mortality prevails among
persons crowded together in unventilated
rooms. The pollution of the air in the rooms
is found to be the chief cause of increased
mortality in crowded tenement houses.
The air in tenements of one room, two,
three and four rooms was tested. They found
the death rate per 1000 persons to be of
children under 5 years of age in the one
room, 1913; in two rooms, 9.8; three rooms.
5.6; four rooms, S.3. OF all persons above
20 years of age, the death rate was in the one
room, 6.5; two.rooms, 7.3; three rooms, SO;
four rooms, SO. The investigators examined
the air in sleeping rooms between the hours
of 1 and 5 in the morning. The air in Sleep
ing rooms of eighteen first-olass dwellings
was examined, and thirteen two-room and
twenty nine one-room tenements. The aver
age of carbonic acid in a one-room tenement
was 11.2; in two-room, 90; in four-room,
~. Organic matter in one room, 1877; two
room, 10.1; four-room, As. Total micro
organisms in one-room tenements, o.; two
room, 46.0, four-roem, 90. Bacteria in one
room tenement, $50; two-room, 43.0; four-
room, So. At the same time the outside air
was analysed and found to be. opposite one
room, carbonic acid, 2; two-room, 1.5; four
room, 1. Organic matter, 40; 1.6; 1. Total
micro-organisms, 6.7 for one room, and 81
and l for the two and four room. Bacteria,
SO, 81 and 1. The air in school-rooms ven
tilated by FIRE places, open windows and VEN
tilators in the roof was found to contain an
average of heterogeneous 150; while in
school-rooms mechanically ventilated by fans
over hot-air pipes, and thence to other rooms
by shafts, the average was but 1853.
This is important and useful work. If all
people who are situated SO that they can
would pay attention to its lessons they would
be healthier and happier.
