Cobalt for Storage Battery.

Thomas A. Edison, in an Asheville, N.
c., interview, said he had found in that
section cobalt that would reduce the
weight of storage batteries in automobiles
one-half and the cost Of city traffic more
than half. He says the vein of cobalt
runs from a point east of Nashville,
Tenn, in North Carolina, and traverses
four counties. He thinks it means a rev.
oution in the electrical world Most OF
the cobalt hitherto known to the world
has been found in France and Australia
Cobalt is a hard, white metal, with gran
ular structure, which Is malleable, at red
heat and capable of receiving weak mag
netic power when rubbed with magnet
1t is nowhere found native, except in
some meteorites, but usually exists as an
oxide, and the ores are known to have
been il use in the sixteenth century for
imparting blue color to glass.

A Grating System.

II you don't have "a pull" nowaday.
you must be content with hard work

In your cradle, mothers near;
Angels watch all through the night,
With your mother, baby dear.
Sleep, o by, my little baby
Tiny bud from heavens throne;
Mother guards you through the shadows
OF the night. You're not alone.
Sleep, o By, my little baby;
Slumber softly, baby mine.
Gentle breezes now are blowing,
And the stars above you shine.
Sleep, o by, my little baby,
Till the sun-peep comes anew,
Angels guard my little darling
Mother watches over you.

PHTHIsIs IN FRANCE.
Consular Clerk Reports 10000
Victims a Year

Startling statistics of the extent of
tuberculosis in France are contained in
a report rendered to the bureau of man.
ufactures, Department of Commerce
and Labor, by Consular Clerk Augustus
(. Ingram, at Paris.
Official statistics discussed by the
Academy of Medicine in the French
capital, Mr. Ingram states, show that
100000 persons die of tuberculosis in
France every year, representing thirty
nine deaths to each 10000 inhabitants.
In Germany the rate is only twenty
two deaths from tuberculosis to every
10000 inhabitants, but chronic bron-
chitis is counted as tuberculosis in
France, and not in Germany. The cases
of chronic bronchitis listed as tuber-
culosis are estimated at $4,000. Mr..
Ingram says in part:
prof Landouzy'S Investigations
among policemen and postal employees,
both of whom have also very insanitary
offices-indeed, the public complaints
against the impure air in postoffices in
Paris are most frequent-and also
among laundry workers. have revealed
a disastrous condition of affairs. Also
among DAT workmen carefully kept un'
der observation by Pro. Landouzy, con
sisting of carpenters, joinerS, floor lay
ers and packers, all living under prac-
tically the same conditions, the mortal
ity from tuberculosis amounted to more
than 80 per cent.
Laundry workers, however, were
found to be the most seriously affected
From statistics made at Billancnurt
Boulogne-sur-Sene, and certain dis
tricts in the neighborhood of Paris
where laundries abound, the mortality
from tuberculosis reached the alarm
ing total of 20 per cent.
The Paris bakers a few days ago
formed an organization for the inn
provement of insanitary conditions un-
der which they have to work. 1t is
stated authortatiyely that despite the
governmental inspection of bakeries
and the most modern hygienic apppar-
atus, out of 100000 bakers in Paris,
100000 suffer with tuberculosis

The state of life into which 1t has

for the most part that which entails the duties

for those duties the learning acquired in the
