STREAKED WALLS.
Cold Surfaces Always Catch More Dust
Than Hot Ones.

Cold Surfaces Always Catch More Dust
Than Hot Ones.
The reason that lath and plaster
walls become streaked IL explained by
John Aitken, in Nature, ns due to the
tendency OF hot air TO deposit It's dust
on cold surfaces, and the colder the
surface the weaker the power OF re-
sistnnce. SO where the laths protect
the plaster from the cold outside the
plaster receives less deposit OF dust
than where II Is between the laths.
Wherever a hot steom or water pipe
comes through n wall vertical streak
OF dust may be seen above II, due 10

cold wall Rooms that are heated by
open grntcs are much less dusty than
those heated by radiators because I'm

warmer thnn the air. II repels the par
tlclcs Of dust instead OF catching them.
while IN the latter the air heats the
furniture and In so doing deposits It's
dust on II.

Before Smoking the English Dry Out
All Spirits and Nicotine.
The English bake their cigars thor
oughly in the oven until all Of the mois-
ture and nicotine are dried out AS is
well known, they have the pick Of the
tobacco crop over there, and what they
apply to the best Of cigars might well
be administered to those Of inferior
quality which are smoked in America.
Here is what every smoker should
do: First, loosen the cigars I'm the box
and let them stand on or near n stove
or radiator until absolutely dry.
A moment before smoking wash the
cigar In water on the outside and
dampen well the wrapper. This may
be done at the table by holding the ci-
gar by the tip In glass of drinking
water, taking care not to wet the filler.
Then wipe the tip end before cutting It
Off on the napkin. Water revives the
leaf and restores its natural flavor.

The formation of a working All liance between the three largest and most powerful unions in Great Britain: the Transport Workers, the Railroad Workers, and the Mine Workers, gives that Alliance econo- mic control of the British industrial world. It is of enormous signifi- canoe, and cannot be without inn portant developments.
 Now it is a mistake to believe that in Great Britain craft union ism such as prevails in America is not extant. Indeed it is, and they have as many little unions of differ ent trades as they have in America and quite as conservative and quite as reactionary. They inherit all the evils of the guilds without even d particle of the modern trade union aggressivism which is found from time to time elsewhere.
 Yet it is without question that the COnSOllQdtiOH UT dlHd hhiolioh oi the railroad, mining and transpor- tation industry workers springs na turally under the regular economic evolution due to economic forces from craft unionism to their conso- lidated industrialism.
 Such an evolution was forced only gradually, and through ser ies of concrete experiences gained by struggling for better conditions
 At one time the most disintegrat ed industry in Great Britain was the railroad industry as far as unionism is concerned. Every diff erent vocation such as engineers ol
