Soldering Aluminium,

AT last it seems as if way has been
found for perfectly soldering aluni-
mum. The first difficulty in this is that
aluminium does not alloy readily with
other metals at as low a temperature
as they require, and only alloys with
lead with great difficulty: so much so
that lead soldiers are useless with that
metal. The second is that the instant
that aluminium is exposed to the air. a
thin oxide forms which protects it
from further action by the air, and also
prevents it from being soldered. There
fore, the solder must be applied at the
very instant that the oxide is removed
This Is now accomplished by heating
the aluminium to high point, and then
rubbing off the oxide with a stick OF
tin. Thus, at the same instant thai
the aluminium is cleaned. it is timed
The practice is to scratch the surface
with steel or brass brush while the
| molten solder is on it. After the edge.
are thus timed, they can be sweatet
together with pure block tin.

Goats Make Fire Lines.

The Bureau of Forestry has pressed
even the goat into assisting in the con-
servation Of our natural resources. II
has 5000 Angora goats in California
which it will set to work to cut lines
thru the bushy -chaparral for protec-
ton against fire. 1t is expected that
this year they will cut many miles of
lines principally In the Lassen forest In
California. The process will be to cut
trails about 80 yards apart thru the
forest. which will be followed by the
Angoras. They will destroy strip
of brush about 800 yards wide. It is
hoped that the goats will solve several
problems in forest work. The bushy
chaparral growth chokes out seedlings
of valuable commercial trees, and when
the chaparral 10 destroyed these will
have q chance.

The Centennial Anniversary of tho
birth OF Abraham Lincoln will OCCUR

Army Posts, wOman's Relief Corps and
all other patriotic organizations and So

Osborn II. Oldroyd, whose residences n
now in the same house in which LineolU

an appropriate service to commemorate
that occasion.

Change Is Wanted.

A House" Commission is again ham
mering away at a change in the seat
ing of the members. Ever since men
began to meet in any number indoors
the question of properly seating them
and OF properly ventilating the room in
which they meet has been a problem.
1t never has been settled. Scientists
are just as wide apart on how to keep
the air OF room sweet and clean as
they ever We're. AS for keeping the
Hall of the House sweet or clean, that
Is impossible. Man Is not a clean ami
NAL, and he is eminentIy careless when
that careiessness doesn't affect his own
property. He might have a care about
smoking in the sitting room of his
house, and think second time before
he licked the ashes from his cigar on
ends OF his cigar on the floor,
regardless OF grinding the nasty
tobacco leaves into dust on the
carpet, but just certain sure the Ma
tional legislator is not careful of this in
the home which the Government built
for him to do its legislative business in.
The constant grinding of this stuff un-
DER the heels of 390-odd tramping men
during legislative day sends an i'm
palpable dust into the air. which is
fetid, anyhow, with the breath of that
many men, at least a hail of whom
nave the catarrh SO bad that it isn't
comfortable to sit near them, and who
spit and smoke and spit again. The
ventilation of house like this is al
most impossible.
There might be sane element In
taking up the heavy velvet carpets and
having just bare floors. The nastiness
which gets caught in the carpets is
moved into the air at each footstep,
and as a matter of fact those carpets
are not really cleaned from one ses-
sion to another. The dust and dirt is
ground down so hard that 1t would
| take more than an ordinary effort 10
get it out. and it never is taken out un-
| til the carpets are taken up There is
the objection Of hardwood floors tina;
they are noisy and that they are usually
slippery. This could Irbe fobviated BY
putting down linoleutn. The sad-coi-
ored stuff isn't pretty. but, it does break
| noise, and it has the merit of being
easily cleaned. Presumably II couId be
made in attractive colors as easily as in
the dingy grays and browns which are
most affected for 1t. There is no doubt
at all that the elimination of carpets
| would help the air of the House tre-
mendously. Elimination of cigars and
tobacco in any form and smashing o1
| the "spittoons" would help even more

Indiana is waking up. A movement

will take place July 10. next. Presi-
dent Roosevelt in declining said that
he could not accept, as he would not

The Daughters of the Confederacy
os Georgia are having hard time OF
fl with their monument 10 the nasty
little beast of a Wirz, who was the
keener of Andersonville. Nobody
seems to want the thing now that it is
completed. It has been humping around
down there in half-fnished state for
over six months now. 1t was TO have
been set up on the piece of ground pur-
chased just outside of the Andersonviiie

OF the Confederacy, but the women got
scared. They felt also the monument
would be execrated where they wanted

and that it ought to have a wider field
for a site. They secuted round for q
aocation, but no town in Georgia of any
size wanted the monument. Finally
there was some sort of an offer made
BY somebody who had no right to make

Be loyal TO your State. and il you do

of Tucson, Ariz., thinks the town just
the best ever. He also declares 1t to

There are old Spanish missions in
Tucson that will prove this assertion.
The mission at ST. Xavier. at which in
the early days the priests converted
the Papago Indians and made them al
lies of the white man against the blood
| thirsty Apaches, has records to show
| that Tucson antedated st. Augustine

peaceful place until Gen. Miles and

The Board on Construction of the
Navy has begun consideration of the
recommendation of the Newport con-
ference that smokestacks on battle
ships be shortened. At present they
are about 100 feet in hight from the
base to the top, which, on the more
modern vessels. is less than 72 feet
above the water line and about So feet
from the main deck. This would make
the top of the stacks not more than rs
OF 80 feet above the bridge level.
A suggestion has bean made to re-
duce the stacks by 10 feet. An objec-
ton to the shortening II that the pres
ence of smoke near the deck OF battle
ships might interfere with their fight
