NEVER LOST TEMPER

In the many years of his services in the House of Representatives in- cluding -four years as its leader dur ing the Democratic control, Claude KHchin never once lo3t his temper in the thick of bitter and stormy de- bate. His big, round. red face al ways was lighted with smile or a grin 'as he slaughtered the enemy, and Republicans often declared that Kitchin kept smiling "as he operated on them before the country"
 Back in the days when he was 3 struggling young North Carolina law yer, Kitchin's texaps- was like that of a wild man, as he himself ex- pressed it. One day country trial justice decided a case against him and kitchin started to clean up the court. It was an exciting moment.
 Vicious In Debate

 James R. Mann. a veteran repre- sentative from Illinois. who often crossed swords with Kitehin in the House, declared on the occasion of the lattcrs retirement as Democratic leader, that he was vicious in debate because his attacks, like bricks in a towel, were wrapped Tn smiles.
 Kitchin's greatest fight with his legislative conscience came when the House was called upon to declare wal against the German government in 1917. Congress was wildly excited Word passed back and forth among members that the majority leader would vote against it. Later. on the ] afternoon of April 6. members of the l leaders family and some of his mos intimate friends were in his office For once the leader had lost hi: smile. He was weary and fagged from loss of sloep. He told tn; group that he could not bring hi; conscience to the point of voting fol war. that his right of leader be cause of it would be challenged. but that he didn't care because his heart spoke against it.

relacionadas con el rapido deterioro de

Ia de Mr.. Thomas Duncan, en- ell afo
1858, al describir Ell Acueducto de la
Liverpool Corporation Water Works.
Este sefior dice: 'eDurante Ell procedi-
nliento de remover y ajustar la tuberia
e. el distrito bajo, cerca de los niue
les donde el suelo esta impregnado
con cal comin, Sc encontr6 que Ia tube
Tia en- muchos casos Sc habia reblande-
cido tanto que Sc podia cortar con un

niientras que en- ell distrito alto, donde
h&cia cerca de SO anos que Sc habia
.,lstalado, Sc encontr6 en- tan buen es-
tado como al ser primeramente coloca-
ca. En- todos los casos Ell deterioro fu6
menos en- la tuberia de material duro,
y Sc encontr6 mas Iimpia en- su inte-
r:or. Vease, Minutes of proceedings
Inst. of G. E., Vol XII, P. 487.'
En- otras palabras, bajo ciertas con-
dtciones del suelo, la tuberfa de hero
fundido no es duradera a menos que
esta sea protegida por una cubierta i'm
permeable. Y por 10 tanto, es de una
gran lmportancia para ell ingeniero de-
terminar cuales son esas condolences y
como combatirlas.
Dos de los remedies propuestos para
ia corrosi6n son: TO-, dar al material
empleado una epidermis, costra capa
dura, que resista meior la corrosi6n;
"a, la exclusion de los acidos, sal y
