Welding Rustproof Steel

Rust-proof steel is easily welded BY
the acetylene-oxygen process and -
even more rust-proof after welding
than before due to loss Of carbon, sill
con and manganese during melting;
These findings by W. Hoffman, Gers
man metallurgist. were announced by
the national advisory COMMITTEES for
aeronautics in Washington. The phys
ical characteristics Of rust-proo3-steeL
Yields are better than those Of soft
steel Yields but the hardness Of the
metal due to welding must be re-
moved by heat treatment. The rust
proof steels most used contain large
percentages of chromium or chromium
and nickel.

Human Disease. Old

Students of disease have been much
interested in recent years In ferreting
out the diseases that afflicted man In
prehistoric ages. Ancient pictures show
abnormaIities of the outside Of the
body and thus give an insight into the
conditions that prevailed at the time
the records were made. The X-ray has
yielded valuable results in the study
of the diseases Of the bone.

Cat. Whisker.

There is an old belief that cat
uses its whiskers to determine whether
it can squeeze through a small open
ing or hole According to this notion,
If the cats whiskers touch the sides
of the hole. 1t will not venture In.
Although this is not strictly true,
says Pathfinder Magazine, there is O
grain of truth in the belief. The large
hairs on either side of cats nose are
.feelers. Technically they are known
as "visbrissae." Their roots are pro-
vided with delicate nerve endlngs Of
touch, thus enabling the animal to find
its way with ease through dark, mar
row passage.

"You must leave this book lying
