CURING DISEASED METALS

II has been discovered that the met
al aluminium has a disease. and a
careful diagnosis by chemists dis
closes the fact that 1t Is proably due
to the action OF water containing lime.
Tin is made III by extreme cold. and
some other metals have their pests
Just as plants and vegetables have.
and It takes careful investigation and
long series of experiments to learn
the source of the trouble. The alum
mum illness was treated first by Pro
fesors Heyn and Bauer of the labora-
tory at Gross-Lichterfelde. near Ber-
lin.
Cooking utensils were found to be
most affected. and the experiments
were begun on several pots which
were made by cold rolling. Numerous
spots on their surface lay In particu-
lar directions. running straight on the
nat bottom. and In curved lines on the
convex sides. They corresponded to
the direction of stretching Of the met
al Chemical tests of the deposit at
the spots indicated showed the pres
snce Of water. alumina and lime. Sim
liar metal was then subjected TO all
the conditions that had surrounded
the use Of the kitchen utensils. II was
early concluded that neither impurities
In the metal nor atmospheric changes
were responsible for the disease.
1t appeared. however. that city wa
ter had deleterious effect on the
general health Of the aluminium sheets
undergoing the test The thickest
sheets were attacked by the city wa-
ter. After analyzing the water and
continuing the experiments with diff
ferent kinds of water, Professor Heyn
was able to decide that lime salts
were probably the cause of the dis
ease. and suggests that aluminium
utensils be subjected as little as pos
sible to limy water.

that the cross-breeds remain relatively

The Brahman cross-bred cattle appear

About 30 years ago a number Of the
sacred cattle were introduced In Texas
and crossed with native cattle. but as
the original strain gradually deterior-
ated, the department of agriculture
was requested by. A. P. Borden to
make q further Importation OF Indian
cattle for the Pierce ranch with
view of restoring this strain Of blood.
The secretary granted him this per-

DRUG HABIT GAINS IN PARIS

Investigations following q recent
succession Of fatalities In the Quarter
Latin have revealed that the drug
habit has gained on Parisians. In
one store alone dope nends buy no
less than one hundred pints of cocaine
and morphine every week.
So prevalent is the dope habit that
a prominent physician declares he de-
tects its victims by the score every
time he takes a round of the cafes.
Ether is no longer fashionable, but
especially in the artist quarters NOR
phine is used recklessly. Even the
uninitiated can detect those addicted
to It in an evenings stroll.
Paris. In the opinion OF this physi-
clan. is the most drug-cured city In
the world. for while rich women of
other capitals secretly indulge in va
rious dangerous ways Of stimulating
their jaded forces. the dope habit in
Paris has spread through every class

8 inches high the lateral roots have
extended themselves half way across
