PEACE ORDERS.

There are multiplying sign.
that the industrial world is be-
ginning to believe in the coming
of peace. From all over the
globe our steel trade is receiving
orders for ship plates. for mer-
chant vessels, while it is widely
reported that no war material
orders are being given to run
after January / next. This may
be in part due to the. increased
production Of British and Rus
sian factories; none the less, it is
possible to deduce some belief in
. tightening of Europe's horizon.
So far as our own war order
companies are concerned, it was
announced last week that the
Dupont powder mills had cut off
one shift Of men, and the West
inghouse Air Brake company is
dismantling some of the buildings
e used for the making Of NUM-
tions. In addition, there are
known to be numerous cases
where plans are already under
way to convert mushroom war
order plants into factories for the |
production of tin plate, dyestuffs
and other material needed in the |
peaceful arts. All of this, be it
noted, has disturbed Wall street
not at all, 80 that those prophets
who have looked for a (violent
eonvulsion at the close Of the war
nay well take courage. Indeed,
the peaceful character Of the
orders now pouring in to the steel
trade gives every ground for the
belief that the United States will
b called upon to furnish a very
large share Of the material needed
for the reconstruction Of Europe. (

college of agriculture, making up
for any lack of experience on their

respects. but give them scope for
the development and carrying out
of real improvements in your
farming. Then they will feel
that the business is ours and not

the partners. Pay promptly
what Is each ones share in the

founded in 1884. He was . lighting
man. and the Centinel was no tame
journal, but whacked blithely and cared
not where the chips fell, says the Ner.
genthaler Lines O'Type News.
In 1911 the Massachusetts legisla-
ture under Governor Gerry made Q
neat new division Of districts for con-
gress elections. The most insidi-
Gus and ingenious arrangement Of
districts was the one for the
county of Essex. With great glee
Russell took map Of the county and
colored the districts to show the
Nervousness of the device.
Gilbert Stuart, the famous painter,
saw the map. and suggested that the
apportionment looked like q reptile.
He made few marks on 1t with his
pencil and said: 'There! It's q sala-
mander!"
Russell jumped up. laughing. "sala-
mander!" he shouted, looking at the
hideous figure: "Gerrymander!'
An engraving Of the "gerrymander"
was made and hawked through the
state. Thus was born what probably
is one of the most constantly used Of
all manufactured words.

sterillzed Pencils,

In many public schools children are
supplied with pencils which are dis
tributed and collected each day. It
has been felt that infectious diseases
might easily be communicated from
one child to another by the pencils.
For boys and girls have a habit OF
chewing or sucking the ends of their
pencils, and the germs Of the many
diseases that lurk in the mouth are
thus transferred to the soft wood.
Thus might any Of the affections of
the throat. nose and lungs, to say
nothing of the more serious diseases
that manifest themselves In sores of
the mouth. be transmitted.
It is to safeguard against this that

cIothiers' Troubles.

The manufacturing clothiers arc
having more than their usual trouble
in the operations that have started for
next fall. Owing to the piece goods
shortage and the scarcity Of dyes,
styles have to be switched about in
bewildering manner. Statesmen have
got to the point where they are
almost afraid to take fairly large
order. owing to the possibility Of no
goods being on hand to f1llit. Though
there were fewer style numbers put
out than customary when the season
started, even the restricted lines have
had to be cut down still further. A
ray Of light is seen in the situation
that exists in the woman's-wear trade.
The man's-wear trade expects that

improving Quality Of Iron.

JmptOvU0 NuAusJ W "S"'
The variable impurities of the best
iron and iron-carbon alloys available
have made unsatisfactory certain work
of The United States bureau Of stand
ards. The working Investigators,
therefore, have sought to produce ma
terials of great purity and for this
have adopted the plan of melting cleo
trolytic iron with sugar carbon in
magnesia crucibles. The electrolytic
iron was prepared from ingot iron
anodes in a chloride bath. Blowholes
and impurities in the ingot iron gave
trouble in the beginning, but the dif-
ficulty was overcome by melting In
vacuum furnace in specially made
crucibles of very pure magnesia. Iron
and q series of iron-carbon alloys were
eventually produced, in which the i'm
purities did not exceed four-hun-
dredths Of one per cent.

METAL CoLoRs RARELY SEEN
Some Ltaht Waves Absorbed, Others
Rehected-copper 10 Really
SaImou.Ptnk Shade.

One of the beautiful things We sel.
dom see is the color of pure metals.
When exposed to the air most metals
tarnish so rapidly that our only means
to get even q passing glimpse of their
true color is by quickly scraping OF
the corroded surface.
The color of metals depends upon
the selective absorption Of light waves
of different lengths. For instance, II
a metal absorbs every light wave ex.
cept that Of the length which pro.
duces the optical sensation yellow.
then it's color is yellow, for what It
cannot absorb It reflects. Gold 10
such a metal. On the other hand.
when gold is beaten to such thinness
that 1t becomes translucent, 1t trans.
mits not yellow light rays. but those
which 1t formerly absorbed, namely,
a greenish blue mixture.
Silver is the best example Of q large
class of metals that reflect practically
all the light they receive. and are
therefore approximately of the same
color as the light to which they are
exposed. From their color in the sun
light they. are quite properly called
white" metals. Some Of these are
aluminium, magnesium, nickel, sodium,
tin, iron and antimony.
Others, like lead, cadmium and
zinc, have something Of this silver
luster, but with slight BLUSH tinge.
The gray metals, such as manganese
and cobalt. probably owe their lack Of
color to their tendency to absorb all
colors in about equal amounts. Bis
muth is Of peculiar light red and
potassium has pinkish tinge. Cop
per, strange to say, is not copper
colored," but is usually described az
