DURABLE INK.
The Secret Of Its Manufacture Seems
to Have Been Lost.

The Secret Of Its Manufacture Seems
to Have Been Lost.
The ink manufacturer has made
great strides in his field He has pro-
duced many colored fluids that seem
well adapted to ordinary use. But
how long will this Ink last without
fading?
Did you ever pick up letter writ
ten ten or fifteen years ago and note
how much of it is illegiblc because the
ink has faded? Some precious docu-
ments not \ century old are preserved
today in air tight cases. so that the ink
will not fade any more. Others have
been copied in order to retain the ex-
act chirography Of the original authors.
Fading ink is one Of the things in
which the ancients did not believe.
Many of the mediaeval manuscripts
six and seven hundreds years old have
their letters formed of ink that is as
black and bright as on the day when
first written.
Who has the secret Of this lost art
Of making durable ink? 1t Is another
one of the lest arts that Is worthy Of
investigation. The ancients had fewer
materials to work with and less facil-
tiles for laboratory tests, but we mast
acknowledge that there are some
things in which they excelled U.S.

Get Out Of Doors.

Trudeau's classic experiment points
us in the right direction. After inoc-
ulating 4 number Of rabbits with tu-
berculosis. he confined n number OF
them indoors and turned the others
outdoors. The latter all recovered.
while the former all died. This exper-
iment shows that rabbit living upon
its natural food and under a natural
environment is proof against tubercu-
losis. There is abundant reason to be-
lieve this equally true of man. In
other words. tuberculosis is not a nee
essary evil of human life, but is nat.
