Transmutation of Metals.

Next Monday morning, if his plan
can be made ready 10 time, E. G. Brice,
chemist, inventor, metallurgist and
president as well rs general manae er
of the National Meta lurgic 81 company,
declares that he will commence on a
large scale the manufacture of pure
gold. The process by which this will
be accomplished is the invention of Mr..
Brice, who makes no secrets OF his
formula, prOtec nR himself by pstep is
covering the machin cry and appliances
necessary to make the artificial ore
from pure antimOpy.
Brice announces that he will be able
to make 10000 tons of ore day with
each of his four furnaces This ore, it
is claimed, will ield, when refined by
the usual process of refining base bull
lion, S26S0 to the ten.
The cost of product ton of ore
the inventor of the process says, is
very little, while the cost of refining it
is also of small Importance. Brice is a
native of Dayton. O., and has long
studied chemistry.

If their play could frequently be guild
ed by q wise adult mind that the same
results could be gained: but it is not so
guided, and the play only aggravates
the trouble. OF course the tasks must
be small, the lesson brief, but given
carefully and gradually, the nervous
system comes under control, and as q
result the bodily health improves in a
way that all the outdoor exercise ana
medicine could not bring about.

Architect KrsusA, like O.hf rs of bis

in them.
In this plan, although it is for a very
simple, cheap house. there are more good
points than can often be found even in
houses costing many times as much, and
it is very good plan for any housewife
who does her own work to study carefully.
My experience in the planning of homes
where the feature of housewives doing
their own work is made important is that
the best results will follow, as every sens1-

Art Ceilings.

There has of late years been a marvellous
development of taste as well as methods OF
manufacture of materials uEed for cell
ings. Originally the steel ceiling found
place only in public buildings, banks,
stores, offices and similar structures, but
of late, particularly in the last year or SO,
there has been a decided tendency toward
their use in homes.
AS yet their use is mostly for halls, YES
tibules, dining rooms and similar pur-
poses, but they possess SO many advan-
tages both of beauty and service that we
look to see them become much more near
