Casino of Metals.

As is well known, some metals
are unsuitable for casting, while
others, like iron, can readily be
cast in any desired shape. The
property of casting we'll is said to
depend upon whether the metal
contracts or expands on solidifying
from the liquid form. Iron, like
water, expands in solidifying, and
hence the solid metal may be seen
floating in the liquid iron about it.
The expansion causes it to fill the
mold into which it is poured, and
so it can be cast easily. Gold and
silver contract in cooling and there
fore are not suitable for casting

WARDING OFF COLDS.
Keep Your Hands Clean and Away
From Your Nose and Mouth.

Trying to trace a cold is not
easy" said a health expert. MANY
if not most of them r credited to
drafts. 1t is very unfortunate
that these cool' currents of air, es-
pecially if the air is fresh, are so
generally and persistently maligned.
When grandma or father sneezes
mother looks at once for some open
door or window and it is promptly
closed. If John or Mary has the
snivels in the morning nothing
seems clearer than that they slept
near an open window. On the next
night the windows are kept closed
and the good, pure air is kept out
side for the birds and the squirrels.
II say it is too bad that air in
motion has achieved such a bad rep
utation. A cold is a disease, and
only follows an Infection, and the
infection can only come through the
nose or mouth. There is no ques-
ton about this. All doctors agree
on it, and it seems, at least to
those in the profession, reasonable
and simple. Your hands gather
germs all the time, because disease
germs are as common as weeds.
You put your hand up to your nose
or mouth many times a day-it is a
maitland a bad one, The germs
lodge in these entrances and at an
opportune time are taken into the
system. When a cold develops as
a result you wonder in what way
you have been %indiscreet, and at
once try to recall some draft or sud
den cooling off.
"The best remedy for a cold is
to take lots of fresh air-good, pure
food and enough exercise. The
best way to prevent a cold is to wash
your hands often and never to put
your fingers either in your nose or
mouth. Remember that a cool or
hot or any current of fresh air
blowing on your back at night or in
the daytime can never infect your
system and produce a cold. Colds
come from a germ."-New York

LONDON, April "A, 1911.
London is in many respects a cryptic
city. 1t hides its real meaning from
the onlooker, and even to the observant
visitor 1t offers problems in discovery.
1T conceaIs its attractions, and many
iof its ugly features alike. While Paris
thrusts forth its finest aspect to the
gaze of the passerby, London tucks it's
main charms into the byways and with
in the courts and passages that make
lof the older parts veritable maze
Many years ago Nathaniel Hawthorne,
visiting London for the first time, ex-
pressed his delight In the peculiar
quietude of the old Inns of Court, with
! in which the noises of the city's streets
were stilled and profound peace pre-
vailed Today, with the streets more
! crowded and noisy than ever. these
same grave squares Of grimy- windowed
law offices and chambers remain silent,
and exert their traditional charm upon
those who step. perhaps unawares, in
spirit of exploration, into Il small
| entrance way. through tunne:-like
alley, and find themselves three CEN
turtles removed from the motor omni-
| buses and electric teams they have
just lodged to cross the densely con-
gested street.
| True. London's pavements are smooth
er and less noisy nowadays than they
were when Hawthorne found his way
| into Gray's Inn square and realized
why Sir Francis Bacon could in that
remote and intellectual atmosphere
compound those remarkable essays that
remain among the most respected works
of the English people. Yet what Lon
don has gained in the way of smooth
ness it has lost in density of traffic.
and the contrast between the streets
and the interior of the inn yards and
courts cannot be less now than it was
a century ago.
The other day / was so fortunate as
to make my way within the middle
good opportunity was afforded to ex

leisure and to listen to a really in

tons are dull and unentertaining. but
