Metals are usually regarded as
Opaque, but they become translucent
when hammered out into very thin
sheets. An English physicist, who
has been studying this property, finds
that although thin gold is usually
green by transmitted light, the green
light becomes white when the film Is
heated on glass. Microscopic exam
ination shows that the gold has
formed into Opaque, detached spots,
leaving clear spaces, through which
the light passes. Silver leaf also
becomes transparent when heated.
Copper leaf, when heated more and
more, becomes successfully emerald
green, light olive, dark olive and dark
port wine color. These latter results
are apparently due to the formation
of films of oxide, since to produce
them the metals must be heated in an
atmosphere containing oxygen.
Aluminium and Dutch metal" do not
become transparent when heated. By
the electric theory of light, according
to which conductors must be opaque
and insulstors transparent, the met
ais should not transmit light, and 1t

A Generous Soul.

at a railway station of a certain
Alabama town a number of passen-
gers, who were waiting for a train
long overdue, had distributed them
selves or the platform, their feet
hanging t%hereover.
Presently there came along a ma
tive, a sour-faced individual, with a
rope in his hand. 1t subsequently
TRANSFERRED that he was looking for a
stray mule. He came out of the bush
opposite the station and stood for
some time looking UP and down the
tracks. Then he directed his gaze to
the group of waiting passengers on
the platform with their feet hanging
ver He regarded them listlessly
for quite a while, then suddenly he
called out:
Hey, there! You ALI"
what is it?" demanded some one,
startled by the sudden cry.
"H'ist your feet!"
This injunction to "h'ist'' was COM
piled with by all with alacrity, for,
as they looked down over the plat
form, they perceived a big rattle
snake just coiling for a strike. A
handy grindstone was dropped on the
reptile, ~despatching it, of course, and
one of the men thanked the native
for his timely warning.
The latter smiled grimly. st don't

PRESSED HARD
Coffee's Weight ON Old Age.

When prominent men realize the
Injurious effects of coffee and the
change in health that Postum can
bring, they are glad to lend their tes-
timony for the benefit of others.
A superintendent of public schools
in one of the southern states says:
my mother, since her early child
hood, was an inveterate coffee drink
err, had been troubled with her heart
for a number of years and complained
of that weak all over feeling and
sick stomach.
"Some time ago l was making an
official visit to a distant part of the
country and took dinner with one of
the merchants of the place. / noticed
a somewhat peculiar favour of the
coffee, and asked him concerning 1t.
He replied that 1t was Postum.
Il was SO pleased with it, that after
the meal vas over, 1 bought a pack
age to carry home with me, and had
wife prepare some for the next meal.
The whole family were so well
pleased with it, that we discontinued
coffee and used Postum entirely.
Il had really been at times very
anxious concerning my mothers con-
dition, but we noticed that after us
ing Postum for a short time, she felt
SO much better than she did prior to
its use. and had little trouble with
her heart and no sick stomach; that
the headaches were not so frequent,
and her general condition much i'm
proved. This continued until she was
as well and hearty as the rest of us.
II know Postum has benefited my
self and the other members Of the
family, but not in Sc marked a degree
as in the case of my mother, as she

Eggs. Fresh and Otherwise.

Information comes from Secretary
of Agriculture Wilson that hence
forth eggs styled fresh" OF strictly
fresh" must live up to their profess
sion. Storage eggs must be labeled
as such. If this rule is rigidly en-
forced-and the States of Nebraska,
Minnesota and Pennsylvania are lead
ing the a in furnishing violators of
the law-there will be some queer
experiences. 1t is a well known fact
that many persons have been eating
eggs two years old under the caption
of strictly fresh" While any per-
son of sense realizes that strictly
fresh" eggs are almost u~nobtainable
in midwinter and that the develop
ruent of cold storage facilities has
been a boon to the consumer, It goes
without saying that free-born man
has a right to know what he is get
ting for his money. Then If he pre-
fers eggs under the ban, let him have
