Inc greatest MEL OF Inc repuDl1can
party have been very frequently of late
issuing warning cries. Andrew D.
White according to the reports of a
lecture in New York city last week
said he is not satisfied with the pres
ent regime of big trusts, Wall street
gamblers and strenuous finance. Pres
ent American business methods, Mr..
White declared, are leading to catas-
trophies and filing lunatic asylums and
poorhouses. He predicted that if bet
ter methods are not developed Anglo
Saxons will die out and be succeeded by
g. cruder race of tougher fibre.
That is exactly in the line of thought
which has been found in the editorial
writing of The Independent for the
last four years. The Independent was
severely criticised by some eastern pa
pers for asserting that "degeneracy !
would follow such methods, and for
calling a certain portion of the people
''degenerates. Andrew d. White
states that same thing, only in different
words in the lecture above noted.
SSSSS&&
Lawrence University, Appleton, Wis,
has refused bequest of 100000 by
Willis w. Cooper, who lost his life in
the Iroquois theatre fire, because Mr..
Cooper lost his life while in attendance
at theater, which the rules of the
church forbid. That is setting up an
entirely different ethical standard from
the one in Nebraska, where donation
was solicited from Rockefeller to build
a temple for religious worship on the
Nebraska University grounds. That
building will be put up as soon as the
weather will allow next spring.

HOW CAST IRON GROWS.
Gas in the Material is Cause Of sup
posed Phenomenon.

posed Phenomenon.
The fact that iron does grow has
been investigated by a writer in the
Journal Of the Franklia Institute, who
has known iron to grow as much as
35 per cent in the course Of repeated
heatings.
In explaining this growth, he as
snmes that castiron has many minute
cavities which are filed with a mix
ture Of gases. When the iron is highly
heated these gases naturally expand
and cause the iron, which is then com
Daratiyely soft, to stretch in cooling,
the iron hardens again, but the very
high pressure OF the enclosed gases
prevents the iron from contracting to
its former dimensions. With every
renewed heating the process is repeat
ed and at each cooling the pressure OF
the enclosed gases becomes less and
less as the cavities Increase in size.
But there is a limit TO this action Of
the gases. and this is reached when
the cavities become so large that the
pressure Of the enclosed gases is not
sufficient 10 overcome the resistance
offered by the softened iron; when this
point is arrived at the IRON ceases to
grow.
