Please give good inexpensive process for
making zinc etching.-R. u. n.
There is no inexpensive process that We
are aware of. To make these etchings re-
quires an expensive plant. You can best
get the desired information by visiting an
illustrating establishment.
What is meant by electrolysis. as ap-
piled to damage done to underground water
pipes?-J. w. j.
Destruction of the metal Of the pipes
caused by stray electrical currents. The
latter come mostly from electric street rail-
roads that don't have proper accommoda-
ton for the return currents from the motors
of the cars to the source of power supply.
Pipes are attacked chiefly at the joints,
where they become soft and pitted, at times
giving out altogether.
1 can determine by reference to encyclo-
paedias the dates of ratification by the diff
ferent States of the Constitution of the
United States, but I cannot find when 1T
was adopted or passed by Congress. VIII
you give the Qate!-Student.
Congress neither adopted nor passed it,
but promptly on receiving the report of the
convention, handed it on to the several
legislatures. And this to quote one COM
mentator, was all the approval the Consti-
tuition ever received from Congress"
In what year was st. Patrick born, and
when did he die? Was he native of Ire
land?-C.
None of these questions can be answered
positively. st. Patrick lived, but as to all
other facts about him writer's disagree. He
left an autobiography, but the work was
meant to exalt his cause not himself, as its
details of his life are scant. His birth is
put at about 37S his death at 46S, and
Banaveln Tiberniae, his birthplace has been
identified by many with Dumbarton, Scot
land.
What is the record height for a bal
loon ascension ?-F. A. r.
For balloon carrying aeronauts, that of
Surfing and Berson, July 81, 1901, made at
Berlin. height of $1,000 feet was meas
| ured, and additional height of LOCO feet was
claimed. This was exceeded greatly by a
| balloon sent up from Paris March p, 1893,
without passengers, but with self-register-
| ing instruments. The latter indicated an
ascension of 1890 feet, followed by freezing
recording of a height of $3.50 feet. The
reliability of the figures Of this ascent has
been questioned seriously.
