SHEET IRON PIPES.
A Simple and Economical Way of Keep
ing Them from Rusting.

A Simple knd Economical Way of Keep
ing Them from Rusting.
A simple and economical way of tar
ring sheet iron pipes to keep them from
rusting is as follows: The sections as
made should be coated with coal tar
and then filed with light wood shay
ings and the latter set on fire. 1t is de-
clared that the effect of this treatment
will be to render the iron practically
proof against rpst for ~ indefinite
period, rendering future PAINTING i'm
necessary. In proof of this assertion
the writer cites the example of Chin
;ney of sheet iron erected in 1866, and
which, through being treated as he de-
scribes, is as bright and sound to-day us
when erected, though it has never had
a brushful of paint applied to it since.
1t is suggested that by strongly heating
the iron after the tar is laid on the ont
side the latter is literally burned into
the metal, closing the pores and render
ing it rust-proof In far more complete
manner than if the tar itself was first
made hot and applied to cold iron, ac-
cording to the usual practice. 1t is i'm
portant, of course, that the iron should
not be made too hot or kept too hot
for too long time, lest the tar
should be burned off. Hence the
direction for the use of light shay
ings instead of any other means Of
heating. Scientific American.

SCHOOL VACCINATION.
City Physicians 0verWorked While
the Profession Loses Fees.

The agreement made between the
Police Commissioners as tine Board of
Health and Superintendent Poland of
the Public Schools. to have the corps of
City Physicians v~accinate the scholars IN
the Public Schools, has led to serious
difficulties. as the physicians claim that
they nave been compelled to vaccinate a
few hundred pupils who we've perfectly
able to pay for the operation. The agree,
ment. as originally made, was that the
City Physicians should vaccinate only
those pupils whose parents were too poor
to pay for this precautionary operation.
The complaint of the physicians is that
nearly every child in the public schools
wanted to be vaccinated and invariably
their parents were too poor for it.
DR.. Gray, in the First district, visited
Public Schools Nos. l and 3 and in the
TWO vaccinated 40 children. The work
was occupying SO much OF his time that
he asked the teachers to help him in
making the distinction between those
who should and should not be vaccinated
without charge. The teachers did what
they could to assist him, but it proved an
uphill task. Beside vaccinating 40
pupils, DR.. Gray last month attended
twenty patients and made thirty visits.
STILL MORE OF THEM.
DIR. Wolfsou also has Il complaint to
make. He had v~accinated the pupils of
the High School and had also begun the
up TO the present time, vaccinated 265
pupils with the outlook of operating on
as many more. DR.. Wolfson experienced
the same difficulty as did DR.. Gray; the
teachers being unable TO make distinc-
ton AS to who the poor ones were.
DR.. Hoffman. who presides over the
Third district, reported that he stopped
operating on the children in school mas
much as q number of them had tainted.
DR.. Hoffman vaccinated them at his
office. He vacinnated in School No. 81,
five children named Debbish. The chill
dren all stated that their parents were
too poor to pay a physician and accord
Subsequently DR.. Hoffman ascertaiued
that Mr.. Debbish owned a large tene-
ment house at No. 221 Brunswick street.
The case, when brought to the notice OF
the Police Commissioners, somewhat sur
prised them and such actions were de-
nounced.
President Feeney agreed with the phys.
icians that they were being imposed
upon. and that they were virtually taking
money out of the pockets of family phys
icians by vaccinatiug children whose
parents were well able to pay II they felt
inclined to do so, Steps nay be taken to
remedy the evil before the physicians
continue their work.
HOW THE EVIL WORKS.
DR.. Henry, who presiies over the
Fourth District. was compelled TO neglect
some of his patients 10 vaccinate~ children.
He has vacciuated already 4S0, beside at
tending 10 ~forty-one other city cases,
which required sixty-four visits.
