By the process some years ago de-
vised by V. Schoop of Zurich, various
metals were converted into fine spray
by fusing and forcing high pressure
steam or gas through the mass, and
this spray gave a thin coating when
projected against the surface OF an
other metal, or even cloth, paper or
celluloid. Changes in the process have
been made to remedy defects. A new
apparatus, described in Berlin by DIR.
Lach, resembles heavy revolver in
size and appearance, and leads the
metal in the shape of wire or tape
to the nozzle, where it is surrounded
by mixture of oxygen and air or OF
other gases and air issuing from the
nozzle under high pressure. The
flame of the gases instantly melts the
wire, carrying the fused particles
along with great velocity. A little
turbine driven by the compressed gas
on its way to the nozzle operates a
worm gearing, and this feeds the wire
along at the rate at which 1t is being
fused. The process is adapted for q
variety of purposes The spray can
be made to give an inside or outside
coating of lead, tin or aluminium, PEN
etrating every crevice and corner and
under low pressure the deposit be-
comes porous, suitable for accumuia-
tors. If some coatings are of oxide
instead of pure metal, this may given
even better protection.

below redness both metals and glass
are repeatedly plunged into slight

The results of last winters expert
ment with an open air school for
healthy as well as tuberculous children
have been reported by DR.. w. w.
Roach, medical inspector of Philadel-
phia. Two class rooms were selected
in which the children were about equal
in age, the same social standing, and
the same conditions of home life. In
one room the windows were kept wide
open, with no artificial heat except
when the temperature fell below 30
degrees F., and extra wraps were
worn, and frequent drills and eXer-
cises taken. The other room was ven
tilated and heated in the usual way,
with windows closed. The open win
dow class gained two pounds in av-
erage weight to one pound for the
other class, was free from colds, learn
ed quicker, was more alert, better be-
haved, and more regular in attend
ance.

A novel view of forest fires is taken
by Roland M. Harper of the Alabama
geological survey, who concludes that
their occurrence occasionally is need
ed for the perpetuation of such for
ests at least as those of the southern
long-leaf pine. Suchc fires vary in
frequency with the kind of forest and
in different regions. Their effect in
general is to keep down underbrush
and trees with thin bark or low
branches, and thus to favor the growth
of trees with thick bark and clear
trunks, such as most of the pines.
They may also destroy some injurious
Semi-weekly herald., 1913-08-25

insects. Fires in northern forests are
more spectacular and awe-inspiring,
and are regarded as an unmitigated
evil, but in the long-leaf pine regions
they seem to be part of natures
plan, and in prehistoric time every
spot not protected by topography or
otherwise must have been fire swept
every few years. Little harm is done
to the long-leaf pine after the age of
four or five. This pine withstands
fire better than any other tree, but
some other pines and few oaks and
hickories are not much less resistant.
Most of the fires are now set pur-
posely to burn off dead grass and inn
prove the grazing.

That the Importance of muscular
exercise is generally overlooked by
physicians was pointed out by DR.. j..
NJ. Anders at the Washington meeting
of climatologists. The American race
is undergoing muscular deterioration,
vet resistance of an individual to such
disease as tuberculosis is in direct re-
lation to his muscular development.
Though more than physical exercise
is needed to prevent tuberculosis, this
is of leading Importance. The IN
creasing respiration in muscular ac-
tivity adds to nutrition and general
health, but muscular exercise must
vary with the individual.
From the striking relation OF plan
etary motions, Professor p. Lowell has
made the deductions that the planets
grew out of scattered material, each
bringing the next into being by per-
turbation, with Jupiter as the start
ing point and the only planet with
an original nucleus. From the law Of
evolution worked out it is concluded
that the nearest planet beyond Nep-
