The destruction of underground
mains by electrolysis is rapidly near
ing point at which 1t ceases to be
a phenomenon of technical interest to
physicists, and becomes a commercial
fact Of startling magnitude. The Elec-
trical Review calls attention to the
imminence of ''reckonings Of gigantic
character" between the street railway
companies and those who employ
buried pipe systems for various pur-
poses. Water, gas and steam mains
are being destroyed so rapidly that
within n comparatively brief period
renewals and requirements on a vast
scale will become necessary. Their
postponement in the case Of gas mains
accounts for the rapid destruction of
asphalt pavements in many cities and
imposes grievous public burdens upon
municipalities in the effort to main.
tain good roadways. The eating off Of
service pipes and the erosion of mains
accomplish rapidly what would be
brought about by natural causes much
more slowly, and explain why the
leakage loss of water in distribution
is so enormously great and why the
building of new reservoirs and the lay
ing of new lines of mains is constantly
necessary under conditions which seem
to show Il per capita consumption four
or five times as great as the combined
use and waste of any city since civil
ization began. These are the familiar
facts of the case as regrds electrolysis.

DON'T WORRY.

When disappointment crowns the day,
Don't worry. To yourself just say,
Tomorrow may be pleasant.
When path of life is filled with thorns,
Quite foolish is the man who seorns
The hope of future blessings.
Remember that the rain and snow,
As well as warmth and suns bright glow
Brings benefits to mankind
So likewise sorrow, grief and pain,
May aid you-help you to attain
The strength for life's great battle.

Pure blue light is the new consump-

perimenting, in Germany. The rays
from an arc lamp concentrated through
lens containing methylene blue de-
stroyed tubercle baccili in about thirty
minutes, and, as the printing of a
Photographic positive proved the pas
sage of the rays through the human
body. it was shown to be possible to
reach the bacill in the lungs, and to
kill them all with blue light. In two
advanced cases of the disease great
improvement resulted in six days.
The greater part of the worlds sup
ply of rubber comes from the jungles
of the Amazon. The growing demand
for the product has led natives to ex-
plore regions which have hitherto never
been trodden by man. These explora-

of new areas of rubber lands. Conse.
quently the worlds supply of rubber
annually exported is increasing. The
shipments from Iquitos during 1900
amounted to 920 tons; in 1901 the
quantity sent abroad increased to 1891
tons, and this year a still larger gain
is expected.
