Jointing Soil Pipes.

Sanitary engineers have long had a
difficulty in making an effective joint
between the lcadcn soil pipes and the
stoneware Of interior domestic pipes.
Red lead has been generally used to
render the joint Gas-tight. but the
junction could never really be depend
cd upon as a soldercd joint could be.
A london firm has at last succeeded
in soldering lead piping to stoneware
by what they call "metallokeramic'
joint. After the stoncware is baked it
is .mctallized by painting on it 4 belt
with q composition containing pl;lti-
mum. The metallic band is incorror-
ated with the body Of the pottery by
retiring, and thus forms Il basis TO
which solder Will firmly adhere. To

the joint has been given by soldering
metal disks t. the end Of the stOnewarc
pipe and applying hydraulic pressure,

Sewer Air Poisoning.

Recent Investigations Of the air Of
the London sewers have revealed the
fac. that there Is q poisonous amana-
ton from sewers which may be ms in
furious to health rs the bacteria to
which it has been customary to ascribe
all i'll effects. The most noticeable pro-
auctions Of sewer gas poisoning are
nephritis and albuminuria. Cold and
chill are usually held responsible for
these affections, but 1t would appear
that they may be caused entirely by
sewer air. 1t is suspected that the
sewer gas contains n volatile poison,
the examination and classification of
which must be left to future investi-
gators. 1t is more than likely that the
question observer poisoning and drains
will become the problem of the chemist
instead of, as lately, the bacteriologist.
In all probability the unknown sub
stance is an organic nitrogen COM
pound allied to hydrazine, which is
known to have powerful toxic action,
SO that 1t would not be difficult to de-
wise experiments toward clearing up
the point.

A Girl,s Heroi,n,.

A correspondent Of the London Daily
News gives the following story: The
Handle Kurds fell on Herfev, an Ar
menian village, and asked that the
beautiful daughter Of the priest he de-
llvered to them. The girl, hearing that
the villagers really intended to deliver
her to them, in order to get rid Of their
barbarities, hid herself and at night
succeeded in making her way, with her
brother. toward Russian territory.
When the urds heard Of this escape
they followed them, and overlook them
in the mountains. The brother and
sister defended themselves. from behind
q rock until they had fired all their
cartridges but two. The sister then
threw herself into the arms Of her
brother, and begged him to shoot her
with one Of the cartridges, SO that she
might not fall into the hands of the
Kurds, nor see the death of her brother,
and that with the second he should de-
liver himself also from the hands of the
Kurds. This was done. The sister was
killed, but the brother was taken half
dead and delivered to the Turkish au.
thorities, and is now in prison.

malt sprouts because they make the
butter Of inferior quality, although they
increase the yield of milk. There is q
vast difference In malt sprouts and only
the best should be fed. When they are
of good quality there is no great objec.
ton to their use. Properly combined
with other foods, 1t will make good
ration. This Ia particularly true when
they are fed to young animals, as they
produce growth of bone and frame. 1t

Action of Light Upon Water Colors.
Collectors of water colors will do
well to take note of some experiments
made in England on the action Of light
in the weakening and dispersion Of the
coloring matter in pictures. 1t was
found that the sulphides, cadmium,
trisulphidc of arsenic and indigo are
prone to fade from oxidation. due to
humidity, air and light. OF these cal
MUM is especially sensitive to the in.
fluence of moisture, and will fade in q
fortnight in damp air; trisulphide of
arsenic is also seriously affected by
damp air; but indigo, while suffering
from moisture, shows no signs Of dc.
terioration when exposed to dry air or
an atmosphere of c,lrbonic acid. Ger
tain colors are affected only by light.
or these, Pr,lsslan blue, which fades
in carbonic acid as well us in light, re.

and dry or damp air speedily decolor-

cobalt red, Indian red, yellow ochre
and sienna. The tests 90 to prove that
