undergone considerable declines. Wages have not been reduced. but labor Is In a much more rational spirit than formerly and It's efficiency is undoubtedly better. Some idea of the increased activity in building Is obtained from the regular trade authorities, which show that build- ing expenditures in 35 leading cities during October were nearly A per cent greater than in October. 1907; while the increase In Greater New York In the same period was as much as 76 per cent. This compari- son is made with a time when de- pression was beginning in the build ing trades but had not reached its climax by any means; and the fig ures just quoted show surprising revival in an important industry, foreshadowing a growing demand for steel and all other building mater ials,

ELIZABETH'S FEAR.
What the Little One Thought Her
 Aunty Would Be Apt to Do.

Mrs. Jones was going to the ceme- tery to visit her mothers grave and had taken the five-year-old daughter of her most intimate friend with her. The child had always called her "aunty" and evidently wished to know the full particulars of the mother $ death.
 "Aunty, did your mother die lying down or sitting up?"
 "Never mind, dear. do not remem. Der Here we are, and I am going to plant some seeds, so you can play around if you like"
 Mrs. Jones had planted the seeds and was gently raking the earth back when she saw Elizabeth coming to- ward her with a most mortified expres, sion upon her face.

"Hubblss" and Science.

Until Lord Rayleigh supplied tho missing explanation scientific men had never been able to explain how 1t is that soap bubble can exist. It is only with very few liquids that soap bubbles can be blown. The reason is that some cannot father even If shaken up vigorously, while others father with complete ease. The natural question therefore arose, Why is it that some liquids father and others will not. and how is it that sphere of liquid film of almost infinitesimal thickness can exist in a still moist atmosphere for hours and even daysT This was all exhaustively explained for the first time by Lord Rayleigh.
 The explanation is partly question of physics and chemistry, and it may be succlnctly described, according to Sir Oliver Lodge, as follows: "A sur face which possesses the minutest trace of scum has less tension than a clear or lesser scummed surface, and such a scum, no matter how thin 1t may be, has the tendency to slide down if its liquid support or foundation dis plays any inclination to the horizon. Furthermore, lathering liquid has a complex and resistible constitution sufficient to yield by partial dissocia- ton, owing to the tension of the sur face, quasi solid scum, while the con stant tendency of the yiscous liquid to slip between two layers of scum is q very slow process.

Waterbury's tag day was the grandest kind of success ands while much of it was due to the committee that so ably handled the affair, the workers that carried the boxes must not be forgotten. Many of them un- doubtedly put in the hardest days work they ever did in their lives. The results of the work of last Saturday are sure to be far reaching in the war that is being waged against tu- berculosis. A recent circular sent cut by the national association has the following information: Every other day sees a sanatorium, associa- tion, or dispensary for the treatment or prevention of tuberculosis estab. lished in this country, is a statement issued to-day by then National As sociation for the Study and Proven tion of Tuberculosis. During the months of September and October, 16 dSSOCld dLlOuS, lU SdudlOFld, anu , QlS- pensaries were started or provided for in the. United States, making a record of achievement in anti-tuber- culosis activity never before equalled in any country in the world. The stimulus for this wave of philan- thropic endeavor has been derived largely from the recent international congress on tuberculosis. From ono end of the country to the other, men and women of all ranks and classes, are rising up to fight in the battle against tuberculosis. Including the recently formed societies, there are at the present time, 211 associations for the study and prevention of tu- berculosis in the United States, with a total membership of over 10000, all engaged in an active war on con- sumption.
