FLOOD PROSPECTS.

Prospects for flood in the Maumee
valley are doubtful. The sudden
change to freezing weather checked
the rush of water into the river, and
prevented asudden rise and break up.
Thursday morning the water was
about three feet above normal, while
an immense gorge at Turkey foot rock
held back the up river ice while the
water is slowly passing down river.
A channel has worn through the ice in
front of Perrysburg and few more
days of cool weather will greatly les
sen the food dangers.

Cygnet Review says; "Knock and
you knock alone" Sorry to say your
wrong, brother. The truth is
KNOCK and you will be in the Choir

the knocking business. There are
too many working at it.-Perrysburg
journal.
Brother Blues idea of the "knock-
ing" business may be all right in re-
gard to his own town, but we've been
unable to find knocker in Cygnet.-
Cygnet Review.
What's the use of wishing to go to
heaven so long as you can live in
town where there are no knockers. II
what you say is true, the people OF
Cygnet are living in a heaven of their
own making and we may expect to
rad in the Review that all Cygnet
people are growing wings. So mote
it be.

Futile Worry,

John D. Rockefeller, Jr., at a recent
dinner in New York, said of success:
Success depends a good deal on the
recognition Of values. The successful
man knows what is important and
what is unimportant. He doesnt
waste time over trifes. That, he
knows, would be as silly as the Tar
rytown girls course.
"A Tarrytown girl, after reading Q

Why MataIn Rust.

Gold does not tarnish like other
metal because it is not acted upon by
oxygen or water. It is the moisture In
the atmosphere which causes other
metals to tarnish, owing to their oxi-
dation. Water consains large pro-
portion Of oxygen. and 1t is the oxygen,
OF course, in the moist air combining
with the surface Of the metals that
covers them with tarnish. Platinum,
like gold. resists the influence Of oxy-
gen and moisture and when pure nei-
ther rusts nor furnishes. Aluminium
also does not rust, neither hot nor cold
water having any action upon II. The
sulphureted hydrogen Of the atmos-
phere, which so readily furnishes sill
ver. has no effect upon aluminium.
which under ordinary circumstances
preserves its appearance as perfectly
as gold does. Silver furnishes on ex-
posure to the air, the agent producing
this effect being the sulphur Iron is
the metal which furnishes and rusts
most easily, its oxidation proceeding
until the metal is completely eaten or
burnt away with the rust.

offered the water to his lips. But the
Swede, suddenly raising q pistol, fred
