New Idea in Ventilation.

The Ayrton antigas~ fan, which, &C.
cording to Munsey's Magazine, may
revolutionize all our systems of venti-
lation, is based on the principle that a
fan should be brought down sharply
from the perpendicular to the horizon
tai, and thus drive the air forward in
steady puffs and set up fresh cur
rent from the rear. The inventor, who
is an Englishwoman, has given public
demonstrations in London with glass
models of dugouts and tunnels from
which the fan readily expels the smoke.
At one demonstration, Mrs. Ayrton,
with three-inch fan, sat at one end
of six-foot table while smoke poured
forth from funnel at the other end.
The action of the miniature fan not
only dispelled the smoke but quickly
gained such control over it that It pre-
vented it from coming out of the fun
mel. The fan works on the hinge-and-
spring principle and is constructed Of
light material. It has been used sue
cessfully in factories, theaters, mines
end sewers Youths COMPANION.

MATERIAL THAT REslsTs ACID
New Substance, Duroprene, Is Said to
30 Adapted to a Wide Range
Of Uses

Recent addressing materials in
clude such notable products as silica
ware, iron rich in silicon, monel metal
and various other alloys. Not least
interesting Is duroprene, obtained by
the chlorination of rubber, and resist
ing reagents that readily attack rub
Der, such as ozone, nitrous and nitric
acids, hydrochloric acid, etc. Describ-
Ing it to the Liverpool section Of the
Society Of Chemical Industry, Mr.. A.
Lamble stated that it can be OBJ
tained II the solid state as white
amorphous powder. 1t is soluble in
ben7ine and coal tar naphtha, carbon
tetrachloride, and trichlorethylene, but
the ordinary varnish is 10 per cent
solution in benZine and solvent naph-
tina. This varnish dries quickly, leav-
ing colorless, transparent film. The
very thin film has been immersed for
days in caustic potash, caustic soda,
ammonia and the mineral acids-hy-
drochloric, nitric and sulphuric-with-
out sign Of decomposition, and it is
quite insoluble in alcohol, ether, petro-
leum oils, and paraff1n. Being also
highly insulating and very adhesive.
duroprene is adapted for a wide range
of uses. It serves as anti-corrOsive
varnish or paint, for lining steel Pc
troleum tanks, and wooden alcohol
watts, for building up electrical con-
densers, as colorless lacquer for bright
metal work, and as gas-tight cement.

BROUGHT BACK SAD MEMORY
Little Wonder That Comedian Could
Not Look on Buns With Any
Degree of Affection.

II never eat buns" the comedian
said sadly, they remind me of a hor-
rible experience had once"
The listeners drew near, thrilled by
the tenseness of his tones.
Il was on ship in midocean," went
on the comedian dramatically. "Her
cargo was self-raising flour and cur
rants, and touring theatrical party.
Suddenly, in the dead of night, we ran
into an iceberg.
There were no boats, so things look
ed very desperate for us. The huge
waves dashed over the sides and down
the hatchways.
"Then we heard curious noise. The
water had got to the self-raising flour
and presently it began to ooze up in
large blobs, like buns, with the cur
rants mixed up in it.
"As the great Jumps Of dough floated
on the water the heat Of the sun baked
them hard. got on top Of one Of the
biggest and floated away from the
sinking ship.
"But, alas! the ocean Whereabouts
was full of sharks and they seemed to
like my bun. Anyway, they nibbled
and nibbled at it, and daily it grew
less, until had hardly room to hang
on. I got washed ashore just when
there were only two bites Of bun left
for them.
Ever since then," he ended, with a
sigh, II haven't been able to look at
a bun without shivering."

Airp,anes in Minino Operations.

1t is predicted that the airplane
and the dirigible will prove great
stimulus to the mining industry in pre-
senting a means of getting material
and men to and from locations which
are known to be rich with ore and
which are at the present time inacces-
sible. There are many such places
known to exist, but the cost Of build
ing a roadway to them would be so
great as to be. prohibitive. Attention
to this phase of the subject has been
recently attracted by report made
by Doctor Lyon, supervisor Of the min
ing stations for the United States bu-
reau Of mines. BY this means regu-
lar communication could be main
tanned with sections which are not to
be reached by any ordinary means. It
is also suggested that the same means
might be of great value for getting res
cue apparatus to the scene of mining
disasters.

VOYAGE FAMOUS IN. HISTORY
Wooden Paddle Wheel Steamer, the
Golden Age, Paved the Way for
the Mighty Megantlc.

Departure from Sydney recently OF
the White Star liner Megantic for Liv-
erpool by way Of New Zealand, the
Panama canal, the West Indies and
New York, recalls her historic fore
runner of 1854, says the New York
Tribune.
The vessel, the Golden Age, was a
wooden paddle wheel steamer, belong.
ing to the New York and Australian
Steam Navigation company. The in
tention of the company was to run six
vessels "via Panama." the Panama
railroad, capitalized at 100000, be-
ing the connecting link on the then I'M
divided isthmus with the West India
Royal Mail Steam Packet company,
running from Southampton.
The Crimean war, yellow fever on
the isthmus and other causes con-
spired to defeat the company's plans.
The Golden Age was commanded by
Lieut.. David D. Porter of the United
States navy, who afterward became
famous as Union admiral during the
Civil war.
The Golden Age left Melbourne for
Panama via Sydney and Tahiti, May
5, 1854. She reached Sydney on May
II with 300 passengers. Her cargo
included a consignment of gold dust
and she reached England in 66 days.

KNOW LITTLE ABOUT EARTH
DweIlers on This Globe Have Shown
No Curiosity Concerning Possible
Wonders Of Its Interior.

The earth's crust is compared to
the skin Of an apple by the writer Of
leading article in the Scientific
American Monthly. Our knowledge Of
the globe on which we live, he says,
is not even skin deep; for an apple
as large as the earth would have a
skin twenty miles thick; and no one
has been much more than mile in
to the crust, or has bored into it with
tools more than a mile and half. 1t
Is rather humiliating to think that
we know more about the sun, ninety
millions of miles away, than we do
of the solid earth under our feet. We
think nothing of dispatching exploring
expeditions to unknown regions thou
sands of miles away; how about a
little expedition, to points only few
miles distant-vertically downward?
Such explorations have been proposed,
although the boldest explorer has not
dared to suggest going further than
twelve. miles-a trip that would take
him on the surface of the earth only
from one end of Manhattan island
to the other.

NO LONGER SIMPLE PROBLEM
Matter Of Food, in These Days OF
Statistics, Has Become Cues
ton of Calculation.

Once upon time this problem of
food was very simple matter. Three
times day, as rule, the attention
Of man was drawn to a hollow feeling
located due east of the lower end of
the vertebral column. This vacancy
he proceeded to fill with a slab of
bread, chunk of beef, pot of rice,
ETC., favored as rule with butter,
jam, garlic, etc, according to race, re-
ligion, climate, age, etc. This settled
the problem till the next call from
the far East.
1t pains us to say that this was 1iv
ing to eat and not eating to live. 1t
showed no adjustment of means to
end. 1t was a, system of food that
made no distinction between a long
shoreman and free-verse poet. 1t
was internal anarchy.
Happily the truth has been realized.
The consumption of food is no longer
destructive but constructive. Man no
longer eats cOrned beef and cabbage,
but the vitamines in the beef and the
polyzeugmatics in the cabbage. When
he picks up the bill Of fare he no long
er says, 'What Will most speedily and
cheaply allay the unrest in my far
East?" but he says, "Where can find
the 12,500 carbonuxates that will give
me the right outlook on the League Of
Nations?" And he finds it in unpolish-
ed rice. Or he says to himself, II am
now at work on the fourth act of my
poetic drama; to make it convincing
to Belasco must absorb 5000 per-
maganazoids daily for the next 80
days." So he shaves the kernels off
the corn and eats the cob. Perhaps
with coconut butter, for the added col

Cats and Diphtheria..

1T is widely accepted belief that
cats may suffer from ,diphtheria and
convey the infection to human beings"
says the Journal of the American
Medical association in recounting the
experiments by which Doctor Savage
proved that this is entirely without
foundation.
Doctor Savage planted vast numbers
Of diphtheria bacilli in the noses and
Threats Of kittens. but in no instance
did these take the disease, and within
"a hours the baculi were dead. Doc
tor Savage reviewed all the evidence in
connection with epidemics of diph-
iberia and came to the conclusion that
SO far as it duplicates cats It is quite
valueless.
