BATHS A MONTH LONG.
Natives Of Japan Take Them Hot and
Siaen In the Water

Natives Of Japan Take Them Hot and
Sleep In the Water.
The number of baths taken daily by
the japanese at the hot springs and
the length of time they remain In the
water run counter to all western med
zeal opinion regarding the utility of
hot baths for inyalids. Five or six
times q day for an hour or longer at
time would not be considered an un-
common regime.
A smile Of incredulity was raised
some years ago when Professor Cham
beriain told Us of tiny spa where the
bathers stayed in the water for a
month or more, with stRpes on their
laps to prevent them from floating In
their sleep. Yet could name another
remote little spot where very old man
well advanced in the nineties, in fact
has literally lived in the shallow
warm water of the spring for years,
his knees and neck supported by a
beam, from early morn till midnight.
The high temperature at which the
baths are taken has excited the wonder
OF many travellers. At Kusatsu, for In
Seance, that of the chief bath is 12S de-
grees F., but such temperature neces-
sariIy involves special precautions be-
fore entering the bath, with limit Of
from three and one-half to four min
utes' Immersion
When we remember that water at
ll5 degrees F. can just be borne by the
hand, but not by the whole body, it is
possible to realize the agony of afflicted
humanity in the Kusatsu baths. At the
same time the Japanese skin cannot be
20 sensitive as that of the European.
for the daily bath is enjoyed by the ma
dve at q temperature that makes the

Aluminium and Oxyoen.

Aluminium is in many ways a won
derful substance, albeit in the natural
world most of it 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, d.
rectly, in air, but always and only
through a veil of superficial oxide
which forms OH its free surface with
marvellous rapidly. 1t is stated that If
a fresh surface of aluminium be pre-
pared by scraping with a 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 were not for this superficial
scale of oxide, which acts as a barrier
to further action, the metal would burn
up or deflagTate in air. The large
amount of heat developed by thermit,
a mixture of powdered aluminium with
oxygen giving substances, bears wit
ness to the activity of the oxidizing

The allies were working in the

AS virtually all the distilled spirits
