Cast and Wrought Iron.

In paper recently read before the
Society of Chemical Industry the state
ment was made that the strength OF
cast iron was affected by the addition
of wrought iron In the following pro-
portions: With 100 parts Of cast iron
ten parts of wrought iron increase the
strength per cent; twenty parts or
wrought iron increase the strength
80 per cent; thirty parts Of wrought
iron increase the strength GO per cent;
forty parts of wrought iron increase
the strength only SO per cent. The
maximum result is therefore produced
with 30 per cent wrought scrap.-In-

Antiquity Of the Organ.

The organ Is the most magnificent
and comprehensive Of all musical In
struments. While the pipes Of Pan.
aside from that mythical parsonage,
indicate very ancient use Of pipes as
q means Of producing musical sounds,
the "water organ Of the ancients" fur
nishes to the student Of organ history
the first tangible clew regarding the
remote evolution Of the instrument.
In the second century the magripha,
an organ Of ten pipes with crude
keyboard. is said to have existed, but
accounts OF this instrument are In
volved In mgch obscurity. II is aver
red that an organ, the gift OF Con-
stantine, was In the possession Of King
Pepin Of France In 757, but Aldhelm, a
monk, makes mention Of an organ with
gilt pipes as far back as the year 700.

LEGEND OF THE ROBIN.
Indian Story of How the Brave Bird
Got Its Red Breast.


When white men first came far
across the sea to this country they
found many birds such as they had
never seen before. But they found one
which they liked best OF all. 1t had a
pretty red breast, and they called 1t
robin, for its red breast made them
think Of a bird back In the old home
which they loved most Of all
The Indians had a story about how
the robin got It's red breast. They said
1t happened long time ago, when
there was only one fire In all the cold
far north.
A hunter and his son kept the fire
burning day and night until the father
fell i'll, and the son had to watch the
fire all alone. The great white bear
was waiting for chance to put the
fire out so he could have all the north
to himself He saw he boy fall asleep;
then he jumped on she fire with his
wet feet and put it oHt.
But gray robin saw him, and when
he was gone she picked about in the
ashes till she found tiny live coal
She famed 1t with ker wings until 1t
blazed out and turred her breast red.
Then she few away 60 every hut In
the cold north. Wherever she touched
the ground fire sprang up. and soon
there were plenty Of fires to keep the
people warm. After that the robins
breast was always red instead of gray

The Harm of Damp Houses.

Ii is dangerous to health and even
to life In a damp. moldy house or one
built over a moldy cellar. Many years
ago the London Lancet In an article
on diphtheria traced the disease in GER
tain cases to the presence of certain
molds and fungoid growths which
seemed TO be breathed into the throat
Remember. one of the best disinfec.
tants Is lime. Moldy cloths. such as
shoes and other articles that are unfit
for use, should be destroyed at once.

How the Roman Empire Grew.

Rome was founded 75O B. O., the
kings were expelled 500 B. c., and 1t
was not until 300 b. c., 460 years after
the founding of the city. that the Ro-
mans conquered their immediate neigh

not until 266 b. c., following the defeat
Of Pyrrhus, that Rome was supreme
In Italy, from the southern boundary
of Cisalpine Gaul to the Sicillan strait.
For $50 years, from the foundation or
the city, the Romans could stand on
the hills Of their city and almost look
across their entire territory, as 1t
stretched away only some twenty miles
on either hand. After the consolidation
of their power in Italy, however, 1t
took them but $50 years to conquer the
