OLD TIL CANS.
The Way They Finally Disappear From

Few people realize what becomes Of

finally disappear from human sight

Science shows that they cvapOrdtc.

no wills of their own, no ailinties. no
understandings, and therefore no In

course. They do nothing of them
selves. But electrical forces do their
work for them. These forces unite th"
atoms of the metals with those OF III"

oxides are carried away by the atmos'

cording to circumstances.
