In paper on the influence of chem
ical agents in producing injary to iron
and steel, w. Thomson referred to the
effects.of different paints and varnishes
used for the preservation of structural
iron and steel from rust. He stated
that after long experimenting he had
arrived at the conclusion that red lead
paint is the best preservative. He eX-
planned this by the fact that, although
red lead is a highly oxidizing substance,
it produces skin of unoxidizable and
protective black or magnetic oxide on
the iron itself under the paint.

A PROCESS has been discovered by
which scrap steel can be heated and
rolled into shape. The secret of
the invention is mineral composition
which, blended with certain chemicals
and mixed with the scrap, enables the
mass to be heated, rolled and welded
without melting. Cross pieces of scrap
are placed in layers over bottom
piece, and the composition is applied.
Finally top piece is laid on and the
whole is strapped together with iron,
making bundle two and one-quarter
inches thick, which is heated and rolled
into any shape required.

How to Drink a Farm.

Bob Burdette gave this simple recipe: "My homeless friend with chromatic nose. while stirring up the sugar in 8 ten cent glass of gin, let ne give you a fact to wash down with it. You may say you have longed for years for the free, independent life of the farmer. but have never been able to get money enough together to buy farm. But that is just where you are mistaken. For some years you have been drinking 8 good, improved farm at the rate of B hundred square feet a gulp. If you doubt this statement, figure it out your self. An acre of land contains 43. 560 square feet. Estimating for conven- fence, the land at $43 56 an acre, you see that it brings the land to just one mill per square foot, one cent for ten square feet. Now pour down the fiery dose, and imagine you are swallowing a strawberry patch. Call in five of your friends, and have them help you gulp down that five hundred foot garden. Get on a prolonged spree some day. and see how long it requires to swallow pas ture land enough to feed COW. Put down that glass of gin; there is dirt in it-one hundred feet of good, rich dirt, worth $43 56 per acre.

Power of a Horses Scent.

There is one perception which horse possesses to which little attention has been paid, and that is the power of scent. With some horses it is acute, as witlI the dog; and for the benefit Of those who drive at night, such as physicians and others. this knowledge is invaluable. I never knew it to fail, and I have ridden hundreds of miles of dark nights, and in consideration of this power of scent this is my simple advice: Never check your horse at night, but give him . free head, and you may rest assured that he will never get off the road. and will carry yon safely and expeditiously. In regard to the power of scent in . horse, I once knew one of pair that was stolen and recovered mainly by the track being made out by his mate, and that after he had been absent six or eight hours.- Tait.
