osmosis In Medicine.
liquid

Osmosis is the passage of liquid
or a gas through a membrane. Some
times medicines are administered in
this way. But how far we are from
understanding the details of this sub
ject as related to the human body Is
indicated by some experiments of Pro-
fessor Louis Kahlenberg. All attempts
to introduce lithiGm salts into the sys-
TEN by absorption through the skin
have failed, and yet the same salts
make their way readily through the
mucous membrane. When the feet are
soaked in solution of hydroch!oric or
sulphuric acid, an alkaline reaction
quickly takes place internally. But
citric acid refuses to act the same way,
although both of the acids have sim
liar effect when taken through the di-
gestive tract. Sulphuric acid, then.
has quite a different physiological eff
feet when it enters through the skin
instead of through the mouth. Living
membranes act differently with regard
to osmosis from dead ones, and the
same membranes which behave alike
with regard to some substances behave
very differently from one another with
regard to other substances.

Fortunes in Waste.

Rubbish waste and useless stuff that
men threw away and paid to have cart

one of the greatest fortunes in England
and the stepping block to a peerage
Lord Masham, who died the other day
had career which was one of the
most remarkable romances the world
of invention and manufacture has ever
known AS young man he was q
spinner in Yorkshire, who had master
ed his trade and owned some mills
For nearly 10 years all the profit from
his mills went into experimental ma
chinery for the utilization OF the waste
of his factories. Then came the start
ling announcement that he had produc

The result is that today waste sill
pours into the great Manningham mills
from all parts of the world, to come
forth worth hundreds of thousands o.
pounds.

For long time the tendency has

their combination and the tariff, elm

The recent decline is doubtless due
to the necessity the business world is
