Pittinu In Boiler Plates.

Much of the cause of pitting in boil
err plates and lues lies in the particles
Of Stag and carbon which have been
forced into the plate during the process
of rolling. The foreign bodies are cleo
t%ro-negative to the boiler plate, and
small galvanic cells are set up that
eat away the metal surrounding the
foreign substance. A remedy for gen.
eral electrolytic c%orrosion and wasting
lies in the employment of zinc plates
connected to the boiler shell. Electro
lytic action is set up between the two
metals. with the result that the boiler
is protected from the action of the
acids in the water and the zinc alone
suffers. Where this remedy is used a
sufficient number Of slabs of zinc
should be attached securely to the boil
er so that there should be at least l
per cent of zinc surface as compared
with the entire heating surface Of the
boiler. Railway and Locomotive En-

ORIGIN OF THE ALPHABET.
Scientist Gives Credit to Semites,
Egyptians and Greeks.

Scientist Gives Credit to Semites,
Egyptians and Greeks.
The P%hoenicians We're denied the
credit for the invention of the present
alphabet by DR.. Paul Haupt Of Johns
Hopkins university in a paper read
at the recent meeting of the American
Philosophic society. The Phoenicians.
a seafaring people, he declared, would
have utilized in their alphabet. If they
had one, symbols of their special
fields of labor. There is, however, in
our alphabet no single symbol of any
thing relating to the sea or to CON-
merce, he declared. Instead Of these
things agricultural implements and the
tools and usages of inland peoples had
been included, such as tents and OK
Jokes. This led him to the conclusion,
along with other Indications, that the
alphabet was the joint product of the
Semitic. Egyptian and Greek civiliza-
tons. To this assumption DR.. Morris
Jastrow, Jr., lent the weight Of his
authority by declaring that the Phoeni-
clans eve had a literature or ever
reached a stage of civilization that
would require IN alphabet Of such re-
markable simplicity as ours and thus
showed the improbability Of their hav-
ing invented it.
In his discussion Of the origin and
achievements of the Phoenicians DR..
Haupt took occasion to rap some Of
the sacred traditions Of ancient schol-
arship and popular belief, such as the
story Of David and Goliath. David
did not kill Goliath" he declared. ut
was Elhanan Of Bethlehem who did
that, as any scholar can easily find out
by reading his Bible and other ancient
writings Alright. Another general be-
lief is that the culture Of Palestine in
ancient times was wholly Jewish, the
product Of their history and ingenuity.
As a matter Of fact, it is largely Gre
clan and was carried to the Holy Land
by these same Phoenician Sailors"

Tobacco For Sheer.

l have helped dissect lambs dying Of
tapeworm that had had all the tobacco
they would eat for months previously,
writes Joseph e. Wing in the Breeders
Gazette. 1t may help some, but assur-
eddy 1t will not prove a sure proven
tive Of tapeworms. Tobacco seems to
aid greatly in keeping down nodular
disease and stomach worms. The Sc.
cret Of success seems to be to salt the
tobacco only very little, then feeding
it in unlimited amounts and giving no
other salt. It seems to do the sheep no
harm to eat it in fairly large amounts.
and most failures in its use come from
using too little of it.

The "Chantecler" Bow.


The following protest against sub
jecting birds to the whim Of fashion
appeared recently in a New York city
daily:
Yesterday l had occasion to visit
one Of the department stores and saw
displayed for sale something new in
ladies' neckwear' - the 'Chantecler'
bow, the name evidently suggested by
Rostand's animal play. A technical
description of this silken. 1uted crea-
ton is quite beyond my knowledge
Of such matters, but what l did un-
derstand was the little brown birds
head which stood out from the center
Of the bow. l could hardly believe my
eyes, and l looked again to make sure
that it was nothing less than the
head of that world famous songster
the European skylark.
"Eail to thee, blythe spirit
bird thou never wert)
That from heaven or near 1t
Pourest thy full heart.
"Shelley's lines ran mockingly
through my head as l looked at that
pathetic tiny bunch of brown feathers.
with its staring glass eyes and shriv-
eled bill, all that was left of the most
joy giving bird that ever sprinkled the
air with its song.
"And the price of it, bow and all, was
80 cents-in another store it was 40
and for a 1.-THE, then. of this paltry
sum there had been destroyed such
beauty, such poetry. such JOY. as could
not be replaced by a syndicate Of bill
lionaires. No bird in the world per-
haps has inspired so many poets. The
'Ettrick Shepherd sang:
BIRD of the wilderness,
Blythesome and cumberless,
Sweet be thy matin DER moorland and lea,
And here we find the mummied
head of the modest little bird for sale
on u piece of cheap ribbon in the crush
and babel Of department stores. Gould
degradation be carried further? And
there We're scores of such bows, each
bearing the head of a skylark.
Appeals to sentiment are good
when there is any sentiment to appeal
to, but think Of trying to appeal tt
the sentiment of a woman who will
wear a 'Chantecler' bow! She wouldn't
understand your language. If we are
to preserve our birds we must have
more good. %farreaching laws and SEE
that they are enforced. The Audubon
societies know what laws are needed
and know how to draw them up anG
present them. Those societies arr
working for US. Let us stand behint
them and back them up"

RACIAL IMPROVEMENT.
Finest Physical Types Found In Small
Families,

Families.
There is a popular impression that
immigrants have larger families than
the native born, and this is true Of the
earlier settlers. Professor Boas Of Co.
lumbia university. who has recently
conducted an extensive investigation
of u immigrants, finds that in the Sec
Ond generation the size Of families is
about the same among the immigrants
as it is among the native stock, two
or three children to a family.
Whatever bearing this fact may have
upon individual morality and the fu-
ture of the nation, Professor Boas
clearly shows that race suicide also
spells race improvement. He finds the
finest physical types, as a rule, in the
smallest families. Professor Boas pre-
sents remarkable statistics showing
how the stature of children varies &C.
cording to the size of the family.
When a family has one child the
height Of that one tends to be consid-
erably above the normal. When a
family has two children their height
is still above the normal, but not so
far above as is that of the child of
the one child family. In families of
three. four and five children the aver
age height is still above the normal,
though in decreasing stages. But after
the fifth child the stature becomes alb
normally low.
This fact is partly but not entirely
explained by the better care and nutri-
ton the earlier children receive, for
Professor Boas finds that the same rule
prevails in the families Of the mercan-
tile and professional classes, where
naturally the struggle for existence is
not so hard as in the families of skill.

Silver In Old Lead.

1t may not be generally known that
old, or what may more properly be
called antique, lead usually contains a
considerable proportion Of silver. This
is readily recovered by what Is known
rs Pattinson's process, which is an
electric application used in separations
Of the molecules Of silver from the
lead. In fusing lead the greater bulk
Of the silver finds its way to the sur
face of the molten metal. but much Of
