these Instances mentioned by NJ. Gull
laume. several facts Of physics known
TO engineers have a bearing on the
theory. Lord Kelvin first called atten-
ton TO the strange phenomenon OF the
fatigue OF the metals. In paper on
the elasticity and vlacoslty OF Met
ais" read t...rty-nye years ago to the
Royal society OF London. Lord Kelvin
remarked that when the students In
the physical laboratory OF the UnIver-
sity OF Glasgow were performing eH-
porlmonts on the elasticity OF metals
some remarkable and interesting re-
suits we're obtained which could only
bo explained by supposlng that the
elasticity Of metals was subject to Ia
tlgue. In the case Of muscular fatigue
rest Is required not only to enable the
wasted tissues to get fresh material
from the blood and have the waste
material carried away but also TO at-
ford an opportunity for the strained
molecules TO recover a state OF re-
pose. In iron or steel which has been
strained a more rapid restoration OF
the molecules TO u state OF repose IL
effected by heating to rednesa and cool

Explanation OF the ease with which
women may fall In love with husbands
they have never known before mar
rlage may be found in the Chinese
system Of education for women. From
their earliest youth they are taught
10 do their duty as daughters. wives
and mothers That is demanded OF
them before everything else and 10
even the most important feature Of
their education IN schools. At tho
age OF ~ they are Isolated from com
partnership to await the time Of their
marriages. The advent OF a girl 10
never looked upon with delight in q
Chinese family. They are usually
dearest TO their families on the day
they leave the home as brides.
The Chinese woman is taught TO be
leive in a three fold obedience. She
must obey her father in the first in
stance. and after that her husband and
her son. These rules OF life prepare
her TO accept with gratitude any
marks Of favor from the second man

what she has been taught II he IL
gentle and kind she is likely TO fall
in love with him when her own ideals
OF husband are merely that he is
one OF the men she must obey. AZ
Chinese husbands are likely to be good
In certain particulars to their wives
the women are often able to fall In love
with them. Even foreign women who
marry Cinnamon praise them as hus-
bands. London has a Chinatown and
number OF It's merchants have mar
rled women OF that quarter OF Lon
don, and the women who have tried
the experiment have Jared so well that
their friends followed their example
until a large colony Of English wives
live in the London Chinatown. They
are all contented with their lot. al
though their affection does not seem
wholly unsellhsh, when one reads that
they can especially recommend their
husbands because the average China
man would rather do his own cooking
than intrust Il to his wife. and would
also prefer to clean up the house and
take care OF the baby. In spite OF
their omphasls OF these qualities, the
English wives are said to live happily
with their Chinese husbands and tho
same thing is true Of the rare Instances
OF the same sort OF marriage here.
