Loss 81 Metal by Rust.

One large railway system suffers a
loss of more tlian eighteen tons Of
metal daily, due solely to the effect of
rust. Thus far the only known pre-
ventive is to keep the metal surface
always covered with a suitable paint.
Some idea OF the costliness OF this
remedy. however, may be gained from
the fact that It requires about 5000
annually to paint one large railway
bridge alone. "A typical cnse Of this
kind. Is the Brooklyn bridge. upon
which a corps Of pninters ID constantly
employed. as the weather makes re-
painting Of one end Of this large struc.
ture~ necessary before the workers have
reached the other. Although expert
lments have demonstrated that pure
iron surrounded by oxygen does not
rust and that some ncid. especially car
bonic acid. Is necessary for the produc-
ton Of rust. the secret of manufactur-
Ing rustless steel and iron remains to
be discovered.

Water Hardness and Health.


Hardness Of water-that is, the
amount OF lime or other salts which 1t
contains, appears to have a direct in-
luence upon the health. as the re-
searches OF Dr.. n. R0emer OF Berlin
bring out. Dentition lie much infiu-
enced, as observed in the case Of school
children, and examining several thou
sand be finds that the1percentage Of
persons having entirely sound teeth
varies from l.3 up to POP per cent, ac-
cording to the degree Of hardness Of
the water in various localities. Hard
water containing lime acts favorably
IN this case. and mngnesia appears to
harden the enamel. The number of
young men adapted for military serv-
Ice also Increases in regions having
hard water. As to action on the blood,
lime and magnesia act by their alka-
line properties to strengthen the

used for washing and cooking, and
hard water for drinking purposes.

NEW TYPE or METAL PIPE

aanges and other connections at the

of the spiral winding of the sheets in
forming the pipe and the absence Of
any occasion for punching, the metal.

lighter gauges than are possible for the

for September 4. The run will be
on the order Of the trip made through
Salem County. \. J and TO Berlin,
Md. Il was undertaken primarily TO
advertise the State Fair and to get
big representation there from the
leading town OF New Castle and

This trip was undertaken because
of the success Of the trips already

llished cordial relations between this
community and Wilmington. and peo-
pie who are qualified to know 1t

In like manner the Berlin trip
established cordial relations between
the people OF Wilmington and those
Of the Eastern Shore.
The same results are expected from
