Aluminium and Oxygen.

Aluminium is in many ways Won
derful substance, albeit in the natural
world most of ii Is oXidiZed and turned
to clay. Its avidity for oxygen is one
of its most salient characteristics. 1t Is
said that one never sees the metal, di-
rectly, in air, but always and only
through veil Of superficial oxide
which forms on its free surface with
marvellous rapidity. 1t is stated that If

pared by scraping with knife the
oxygen Of the air runs in as fast as the
scale is peeled off and keeps close be
hind the knife blade.
If it We're not for this superficial
scale of oxide. which acts as n barrier
to further action the metal would burn

amount of heat developed by thermit,

from IA forest mainly in the fact that

The ideal kitchan.

The kitchen is the real workshop OF
the family. Most Of the work there
has TO do with preparing food for the
family cleaning it up and putting it
away. The old fashioned kitchens
never took into account economy Of
steps and time, but today this Is al
ways done. There is II logical order
for the arrangement of the equipment
Things that belong to each process
should be together within the reach
of the worker. The iceboX, cold pan
try, kitchen cabinet. stove and serving
table are used together and should be
in close continuous line. This Is the
food preparation side Of the equip
ment. For the cleaning up Of the same
economy should be practiced. The sink
should be near the china closet or in
buffers pantry, the track should be
straight for clearing up. Always have
plenty of table room near the sink. A
drain board on each side Is the best
plan, or at least set of hanging
shelves, a hinged shelf and extra ia
bic or Il wheeled table at the right. If
the drain table is porcelain a rubber

The story is told that at the time
Massachusetts was considering the

Of American independence, was waver-
ing in his support The mechanics and
workingmen of Boston called meet
ing at the old Green Dragon tavern
and passed resolutions earnestly urg-
Ing that the constitution be ratified
and adopted. Those resolutions they
put into the hands Of Il brass founder
to be delivered to Mr.. Adams.
How many were present when
these resolutions were adopted?" ask
ed Adams.
More. sir, than the Green Dragon
would hold" said the sturdy mechanic.

That casts a significant side light on
that crucial period when we We're en-
gagged in the task of bringing strength
out of feebleness and order out of
chaos by establishing national gov
ernment What could be more inter-
estiug than to see the mechanics of
Boston solemnly considering and dis
cusSing the most remarkable docu-
ment, as it has been called, that any
body of men ever put forth? The
same serious and constant considera-
ton of matters of public concern by
the same class Of people Is essential
to every hour of the existence of the
government.
1t is time that the responsibility for
bad men in Office, for invisible gov
eminent" for venal and corrupt prac-
tees in public servants, be put upon
those whose neglect of duty enables
evil influences to control the election.
The better element is always in the
majoritY in every community and can
always control the situation if 1t de-
Sires TO do so When things get insup-

sirable changes brought about! But
when the people seem to have disposed
of the particular condition that thus
arouSes them they fall back into a
