with the curb on the north side of the
federal building, filed by R. Hodgins
and others, was granted.
The council further considered the
matter of water mains on the streets
to be paved, but no definite action was
taken. The manner Of construction
was discussed, and it is undecided
whether the city will do the work it.

Missing Husbands.

James K. Motion. of Glasgow. Scot
land inspector of the poor. has issued
an interesting memorandum to his
parish council on emigration as a con-
tributury cause of family desertion.
He shows that since 1908. when an
agency was opened in Glasgow whic h
undertook to advance transportation
to men wishing to take employment
in large railway undertaking in
Canada. more than three hundred and
forty families of emigrants, involving
LII dependents, had applied to the
parish for relief. says the Survey.
Mr.. Motion recommends that the
government allow emigration of mar

The first report of the national de-

for the Glasgow officials.
Most of the work of the national de-

existing laws. Within year. 852

cases he was either persuaded to return

Metals Get Tired.

Metals frequently need a holiday
This may be a surprise to many who
believe that metals are always the
slime. never varying from year to year.
1t has been proved. however. that
metals suffer from fatigue just as much
as man does, and that rest strength
ems them proportionately.
Lord Kelvin has proved that iron
wires kept in constant motion during
the week act quite differently after %
Sundays rest. He has made countless
experiments with various metals under
many conditions. and has found that
an iron bar which is subjected TO fire.
ouent strain while working will rise
10 per cent IN elasticity after three
weeks holiday.
Repeated experiments have proved
that steel aud wrought iron deteriorate
rapidly under constant strain and vi
bration. and. if they are denied the
necessary rest, the time will come
when. like the human machine. they
will collapse altogether. A rest how
ever at frequent intervals will keep
these metals in good condition.
Bessemer steel rail is one example
of what lack of rest will do to metals.
This rail had done good service for -
years without a days holiday Then,
suddenly. ii cola psed under the weight
of a train and broke into half a dozen
pieces Lord Kelvin believes that. with
a proper rest. this rail would have
lasted for several years more.
Singularly enough. cast iron. never
considered very strong. and thought
by most people to be far less durable
than steel. improves greatly in strength
when subjected to constant shocks.
This was proved by guns of various
ages and service. Guns tried a month
after casting burst at the seventeen or
eightieth discharge. Other guns. which
had been in use for six years. failed
to hurst after 1000 or 5000 discharges.
and cast IRON bars. after being subject
ed to shocks. frequently gain 100 per-
cent in strength. But. in all eases. the
east iron which proved strongest vas
