GET PLENTY OF FRESH AIR
Importance of ventiIating Rooms, Es-
pecialIy Sleeping Chambers, Is
Too Often Overlooked.

Nothing is more common than fresh
air. Nature has provided 1t in abund-
ance for all who will take it. There
is no one thing so potent to prevent
disease, so effective in maintaining
healthy action of the whole body.
Bad air spreads disease. Consumption,
pneumonia. bronchitis and catarrh are
bad-air diseases. Bad air, too, is a
cause of colds.
Sewage flowing into pure water pol
lutes 1t. So the air we exhale from
our lungs pollutes the air In the room.
The impure air from the lungs Of any
number of people in room mixes
with the pure air and makes 1t dan
gerous and unfit for breathing. There
must be a supply of fresh air con-
stantly coming in to take the place
of the foul air, which in all cases
should be permitted to escape near
the top of the room.

The sound created is very rough when

of this drum, according to where II is

natives to transmit messages, no mat

Not unlike the tones of some bell

Work of Modern Chemists.

Modern chemistry enables man to
make over some of the most useful
metals very much at his will, and
greatly to his profit. DR.. w. Rosen-
hahn, in England, recently made a re-
port on the proprieties of new alloys
of copper, aluminium and manganese,
which show remarkable peculiarities.
An alloy of eight per cent. copper, 800
per cent aluminium and 2.01 per cent.
manganese showed enormous tensile
strength, cold-drawn bar having a
yield point Of 40.SS tons per square
inch, and an ultimate stress of 52.08
tons a square inch. Another alloy is
so hard that 1t can take
cutting edge sharp enough to
sharpen a lead pencil. The British
admiralty is experimenting with these
alloys to determine their resistance to
corrosion in sea water.

against Colonel Campbell, the last
battle Of the Miamis.
At the treaty of st. Mary's, God

on the north bank of the Wabash, en-
bracing nearly all the present site of

only about forty acres of the original
tract remained. and this was in the
possession of Gabriers children, to
whom he had decided it few years

the age of fifty made a proposition to
her husband which for depth of nm
