Durability of Steel.

It has been shown that nearly all
the failures of steel occur very ear
ly in its history. If plate or bal
of mild steel lasts for year in serv'
ice it may be trusted TO last fol
many years. The most injuriou:
thing is continual bending backward
and forward, as in what is called the
painting" of boiler end. As one
authority puts it, steel has a some NJ
what "tumultuous YOUTH" but "ir
middle age it is trustworthy and II
old age beyond reproach." In re-
gard to corrosion there is difference
of opinion, some holding that stee.
corrodes more readily than iron.

MILITARY INSIGNIA.
Marks Which Tell the Rank and Ssrv.
ice Of the Wsansr.

ice Of the Wsansr.
In all branches of the military
service, infantry, cavalry and artil-
lery, the same symbols of insignia
of rank are used. The corporal, at
the bottom of the scale Of officers,
is distinguished from the private by
the chevron, consisting of two bars
on the right sleeve. In the case of
the sergeant, next higher in rank,
the chevron is of three inverted '
shaped bars. All enlisted men, in
cluding these noncommissioned off,
GERS, wear on one side OF their coats
or blouses bronze button with the
number of their organization and
in relief crossed rifles for the in
fantry, crossed sabers fer the caval-
~ and crossed cannon for the artil-
lery. Coast and field srtillerymen
may be distinguished by the fact
that in case of the tnrrler, in addi-
ton to the cannon, there is a she'll
at point of the intersection Of the
cannon.
G'he second lieutenant. lowest in
rank of the commissioner officers,
may be distinguished from the en-
listed man, despite the fact that he
wears no insignia en- lis shoulder
straps, by the gold marking on his
collar. That symbol, as in the case
of the enlisted men, is of crossed
rifles, sabers or cannon, according
to the branch of service, and is worn
by all regimental officers. On the
other side of the collar are the let
ters ~. S." in gold. Infantry Off
GERS may be distinguished from the
enlisted men by the fact shat the
latter wear canvas leggings, while
the officers have tan leather leg
| gings.
First ieutenants have silver bar
on their shoulder straps, while cap
tains have two bars. c. the field
officers the major wears gold leaf,
the lieutenant colonel a silver leaf
and the colonel a silver spread eagle.
The brigadier general has one silver
star, and the major general has two
silver stars.
The campaign hats-broad brim-
med felt hats-afford another clew
| to the arm to which the wearer be-
longs. The hats of all enlisted men
are alike, but the hat cord around
the crown reveals by its color the
branch of the service to which the
man belongs. A blue cord signifies
infantry, a yellow cord cavalry and
a red cord artillery, either coast or
field. The men OF tie quartermas-
ter corps have buff, the engineer
corps orange and white and the hos
.pital corps maroon and white hat
cords. Officers of all branches wear
gold and black hat cords, the in
sigma on their shoulder straps be-
ing the only indication OF their
rank.
The insignia of the quartermaster
corps is winged wheel crossed by a
key and sword, of the engineer corps
three turrets and of the signal corps
crossed flags. There are a few 9TH
er emblems, but these are the most
important.-Exchange.

Color of the Hair.

The hair gets its coloring from an
oily substance contained in the hair
cells. This is dark brown in the
case of dark hair and of yellowish
tint in the case Of fair hair, the
varying shades depending upon the
quantity of coloring matter in the
rells. When the hair begins to get
gray it is sign that its coloring
substance is getting used up.
