METAL FILINGS IN TEETH.
The Use of Different Materials Does
Not Cause Electroysis.

Among dentists there is "A difference
of opinion as to whether the filing or
two cavities in one tooth with different
metals-one with mercury amalgam,
one with gold, for instance-will cause
rapid decay of the tooth through elcc.
trolytic action between the two metals
The matter was submitted to the edi-
tor of the Electrical Review, who re-
plies that if the amalgam is thorough
ly mixed there is no danger of cleo
trolysis, but that if the mercury be
not properly Incorporated in the mass
chemical action is quite likely to fol-
low He says that he and dentist
experimental with voltaic piles made
of gold and amalgam. with blotters
wet with sodium chloride and later
with acetic acid. and when the ANAL
gam had been properly mixed they
were unable to measure any electro
lytic action.
When decay does follow in such
cases, he says, it is due not to electro
lytic but to chemical action. This
causes disintegration of the filing, and.
of course, as soon as this has begun
the acids of the mouth and the juices
of the food can penetrate to the unpro-
tected surface of the cavity and start
further decay. And this takes place
irrespective OF whether or not gold has
been used near by.

Ore DEPOSITS.

Men sometimes dream of enormous
wealth stored deep in the earth, below
;he reach of miners, but experts aver
that there is little or no ground to be-
lieve that valuable metallic deposits
lie very deep in the earth's crust. Such
deposits, it is said, are made by under
ground waters, and owing TO the pres
sure on the rocks at great depths the
waters are confined to a shell near tho
surface With few exceptions ore do
posits become too lean to repay work
ing below 5000 feet Nine mines in
ten, taking the world as a whole, are
poorer in the second thousand feet than
in the first and poorer yet in the third
thousand.

Animal Sentries.

Man is not alone in using sentrics to
guard him from danger. Birds and an
imals have been doing this for count
less ages. Every gunner who knows
anything about hunting geese. is famil-
lar with the fact that if he is TO be
successful he must always eyade the
wild goose picket.
Most birds that congregate in flocks'
particularly in winter, always put a
picket on guard. The golden ployer is
an example OF this. The British star
lings conduct their movements on mill
tary lines.
The beaver always posts picket on
guard. and that probably accounts for
the reason that so few are ever seen,
although their work is much in evil
dence. Sentries of the wild are often
killed doing their bit"-New York
Sun.

When 1t Comes Out of the East IL

No one has a good word for the east
wind. In whatever part OF the world
it blows it is of III repute, and this
evil name began in old times.
At least one Of the plagues Of Egypt
came on the wings Of the east wind.
THE Lord brought an east wind upon
the land and when it was

GUSTS Thou. Lord. breakfast the
ships off Tarshish with an east wind

that came TO Jeremiah from the Lord.
Thus saith the Lord Cod of Jerusa-
lem. according to Ezekiel: "Shall ii not
utterly wither when the east wind
toucheth III" And the east wind
dried up her fruit says the same au-
thority, speaking again Of Jerusalem.
Thus the stigma has come down the
centuries. wind of the clinging mists
and gray, harsh rains modern poet
calls it.
Good old Izaak Walton knew its

the honest angler, that the east wind

Shoe Leather,

Leather for shoe manufacturing pur-
poses comes under two broad ciassii-
cations, upper leather and sole leather.
These, as their names apply, are used
respectively for the sole and for the
other portions of the shoe. The upper
feathers most commonly used are calf
skin, coltslxin or horsehide and kid.
Calfskin comes in various finishes
patent, wax. bright, dull, boarded and
velvet. Coltskin and horsehide are
used principally as the bases for pat
ent leather. but they are also employed
in dun finish for mems high grade
shoes. Kid may be glazed. patent, peb-
bled or morocco. according to the tam
