Uses of Corundum.

Apart from the germ form in which
corundum, the crystallized oxide of all
umina, is found, the mineral is largely
employed chiefly for abrasive purposes,
mostly in the form of corundum
wheels, which are said to be twice as
effective and durable as emery wheels.
Corundum wheels may be regarded as
rotary files the cutting points of which
never grow dull They are rapidly re-
placing files for cutting down metal
surfaces, and taking the place of grind
stones for sharpening tools. 1t is said
that, while file is useless when 1t has
lost per cent of its weight the corun-
dunn grains throughout wheel retain
their cutting power so that it can be
worked until quite 80 per cent. of its
weight is worn off. Thus it has been
estimated that the same amount of
work can be done with an emery or
corundum wheel in about one-eighth of
the time and at one-seventh the cost
as when a file is used. Corundum is
essentially an Indian mineral, although
large deposits occur also in the United
States, principally in North Carolina
and Georgia; there are also valuable
deposits in British Ontario.

PHILIPPINE music is becoming popular.
Returning yoyagers to the far distant
islands have introduced it here. Like
the Hawaiian. il is distinctive and
characteristic of the rational life of
the people. though without doubt an
adaptation of the sweet and melan-
choly music of the Spaniards. Flute.
violin and harp are the favOrite instru-
ments. as in the Italian. but it is not
like the animated music of Italy. The
liveliest strains Of the FilipinOs are
pathetic and melancholy in tone. So.
too. are the titles of many of their
musical compositions. as. for instance.
LOS Dias Ultimas del Verano." C'The
Last Days of Summer, 1.-The Wall of
a Lost Soul" The Approach of Aut-
~ IN"
The harp twangs softly. the violin
bow is gently drawn. while above all
floats the wall of the flute. which rises
and falls in melancholy cadences. This
music speaks as eloquently to the for
aisner as to the native. THE Approach
of Autumn" is so plaintive and sad
that YOU can slmoSt hear the rustic of
the forest leaves. or the signing of
autumn zephyrs through the pine trees.

4-~ Uses.for stale Bread.

All bakers. retail and wholesale, seek
10 produce at their several bakings
through the day only so much as may
be required to supply the wants of
their trade. but in making sure TO pre-
vide enough there is likely to be some
demand for stale bread for household
uses-for making toast and for cooking
purposes.-but the demand is limited.
Such stale bread as may remain un-
sold in this manner is never wasted:
it is sold to farmers and market gar
deners who drive into the city with
produce to sell. and who buy more or
less supplies here to carry back to feed
stock. When finally disposed of thus it
is sold by the barrel, at so much a
barrel; the price being very low. but
depending somewhat on the surplus
stock on hand on the day of sale.
