Mysteries Concerning Melting Pet

Mystsrles Concerning Melting PEI
Certain metals, which melt only at
rather high temperatures, may be
mixed with each other in certain pro-
portions and will then melt at very
low temperatures. That Is how some
soldiers are made. Tin melts at 4496
degrees Fahrenheit, lead at $40 de-
grees Fahrenheit, bismuth at 514.4
degrees Fahrenheit, and calcium at
Cos degrees Fahrenheit. But If you
mix eight parts of bismuth with five
parts of lead and three parts of tin
(by weight, the alloy will melt In
boiling water (212 degrees Fahren-
beit). If you mix six parts of bis
muth, one part Of lead, two parts Of
tin and two parts of cadmium, 1t will
melt In 1873 degrees Fahrenheit. And
If you want any alloy that will melt
at 140 degrees, you have only to mix
four parts Of tin, eight parts Of lead,
fifteen parts Of bislnuth and three
parts of cadmium.

THE sPoILs BLANKET

President Wilson went into office
in March, 1918. In 1917, after prac-
ticalIy all the postmasters in the
country had been politically adjust
ed. he made a general order placing
postmasters of the first, second and
third class under the civil service,
thus attempting to make permanent
the political machine he had estab-
lished. Now taat the Republicans
propose to inquire into the manner
in which some of these appointments
were made, the cry is raised that
there is to be an attempt to over
throw the civil service system. The
country, however, will not overlook
the fact that the men now occupying
the positions did not secure them
under the merit system.
