SCIENCE INVENTION.
Aujtator For Paint Barrels.

A patent has been awarded In this
country for an agitator for barrels, a
device which it is claimed will be Of
great value to the various industries
which use mixed paints or other coat
ings. The device Is placed in the bar
rel at the paint factory before it is
filed. It consists of a shaft connecting
both ends Of the barrel, and on it are
fastened two stirring blades, one at
each end, with a steel wire brush At
fixed halfway between the two. When
the paint or other covering material is
to be withdrawn the barrel is put in a
horizontal position and tapped at the
head. At the other end a small crank
il fastened to the shaft. When the
crank is turned the steel brush passes
through and dislodges the heavier pig
ment at the lower center of the barrel
and scatters it throughout the mixture.
When the center pigment is disturbed
the remainder of the pigment flows
toward that part Of the barrel and
comes under the action of the brush.
In addition to eliminating waste, the
inventor claims that the device will
produce an v consistency Of the ma
terial.

A Chance For Inventors.


1t has probably occurred to every
one who is forced to rely on protective
coatings of one sort or another to keep
iron and steel from rust and decay
that this method Of combating the
%corrosion problem is Of the same Dr.
der as locking the barn door after the
horse is stolen. In other words, since
Tusting is a consequence Of the ten
dency Of iron to 60 into solution when
n contact with water, why not add
something to 1t or treat 1t in some way
- a. to eliminate or decrease this
tendency? An enormous amount Of
labor and material, to say nothing Of
time, IL used up every year in coating
and protecting iron from adverse con-
dihons, and with the rapid increase in

AMMUNITION TRAINS GIVE

BRITISH ARMY, Dec. 25.-For the
third time Christmas has come in
Armageddon. Supply traips bearing
tons Of man-killing explosives yield
ed right OF way to hundreds of wagons
carrying Christmas presents, proving
that the milk Of human kindness is
stronger than wars red wine,
Santa has finished his job, No
body was forgotten. Even Tommles
without families received Christmas
puddings. chocolates, cigars, cakes,
and trinkets. The job was completed
without a single hitch, despite the ti-
tanlc undertaking. Parcels commence
ed arriving weeks ago. The Canadi-
an mail was first. An average of
twenty five thousand mail bags have
arrived in France daily for the last
fortnight. Every night army post
masters announced the days business
completed.
Gift distribution of the Anzac con-
tingent was most difficult. The An
zacs are always shifting. The mail
first went to London, was forwarded
to France bases then transferred to
field distribution centers. orderlies
eNrried the mail to the company quar-
ters and thence directly to the
trenches
Fifty eight hours were usually re-
qulred to transport rations from Lon
don to the trenches. Fourteen hun
dred clerks handled the soldiers mail
ordinarily, but the number was null
uplied many times to insure quick
Christmas delivery. Soldiers are
sending over twenty five hundred let
ters homeward daily.
