y Dangerous Trade.

i The dangers of work in a white lead
factory are described by Il medical
authority in a discussion of the causes
and effects of lead poisoning. Most
of the cases occur among the workers
in the department where the prepara-
ton Of the carbonate of lead is carried
on by what is called Ii Dutch proc
ess," In which the lead, in sheets, is
placed on the top of pots filed with
acetic acid and converted first into the
~subacetate and finally decomposed by
carbon dioxldc emitted by tar. In Q
ing the carbonate clouds of white lead
dust are easily caused by careless han
ding on the part of the workmen. and
in spite Of the respirators worn by
them much Of the poison is taken into
the system.-Harper's Weekly.

singing on Carpet.

Standing upon carpet has a tendency
to muttle the voice, since 4 layer of
inelastic and nonconductinG material
is then interposed between the seat of
voice production and the floor. which.
when it is not covered. acts as Il Sound
board. taking up the vibrations and
giving increased effect and ~diStinctness
to them. This can be illustrated by
placing q timep1ece first upon {; rug or
carpet and then upon the bare door.
In the latter position the ticking Is
much louder, because the vibrations of
the clock are then much more forciblS
communicated to the floor and so TO
the air of the room and finally to the
ear by actual contact between the
clock and the floor. \ carpet daulps
or kills these vibrations because it is n
bad conductor of sound. The differ
ence Which is SO audible in this c Sc. Is
in some degree to be detected when
the voice is heard under similar con.
ditionS.

HOW we

Men and women do not breathe alike.
In q woman the breathing is from the
thorax, or chest, while in a man it Is
mainly from the diaphragm, which is
lower down. This peculiar difference
is so marked that it is possible to rec
ognize by it a woman disguised as a
man. lthoug the disguise may be
faultless in other respects. Most physi-
oloeists say that his difference is not
due to sex, but owing to artificial con-
ditions, such as the wearing of cor

dictionary explains the expression as

corruption of tip for tap, where tip is Il
slight tap. He refers to Bullinger's
