H seems to be due in most, It appears that there are certain hardware stores and general mer- chants in Ontario that are making a practice of selling formaldehyde, or formalin. This, the Canadian Hardware Journal points out. is clearly in contravention of the Pharmacy Act of 1915. which pro- scribes formaldehyde as one Of the articles which none but qualified druggists may sell, offer for sale, or even give away. The law is quite clear on the subject and imposes a penalty of $20 for the first offence and $50 for each subsequent one. As the law provides that one-half of the fine imposed shall go to the inâ€"l formant. the risk a hardware dealer runs who carries formaldehyde in stock is evidently very great... ‘ Over 200 Opticians throughout _, Ontario are now practising my system FARM IMPLEMEN' and Repairs DAVID MADILL, {Vizarkdaia Ontario WHO WAS IT?

Insuflcient postage on letters is a serious handicap to American business abroad, reports our acting vice consul at Genoa, Italy.

Lost Skill of Ancients. i From the earliest periods of which I we have historical records one of ! mans greatest problems has been to lift heavy loads rapidly and efficiently. i Some ofy the greatest monuments of antiquity were built under conditions l that involved lifting of heavy pieces of 3 building material to great heights, but how it was done we do not know to this day. The manner in which the : great stones were raised in E" g3pt has falways been a [113 star; and probably always will be. It is certain, however, that the builders of these wonderful . monuments were possessed of mechan- ‘ ical contrivances that were lost in the dark ages intervening between their ; time and ours or they possessed pa- 5 tience to a more remarkable degree . than is exhibited in any race of men at the present time. ~Engineering Mag. azine. point, and then ice begins to form. But ice is a very bad conductor of heat. Therefore it shuts ofl the freez- ing air from the big body of compen- tively warm water underneath.

It used to puzzle all thinking people why ponds and rivers do not freeze beyond a certain depth. This depends on a most curious fact~namely, that water is at its heaviest when it reach- es 40 degrees F.-â€"that is, 8 degrees above freezing point. On a frosty night as each top layer of water falls to 40 degrees it sinks to the bottom. Therefore the whole pond has to drop to 40 degrees before any of it can freue. At last it is all cooled to this Pikes Peak’s Cyclopcan Eye. A writer in the Technical World Magazine, describing the immense light on Pikes peak, says: “The‘ venerable head of that most in- mous of mountains, Pikes peak, has been given an enormous eye. In Den- ver, seventy-five miles away, this eye can be seen flashing to and fro on clear nights and in Colorado Springs, fifteen miles away the ‘company on the front porch is likely to be shown up in a bright light at any moment by the cog railway’s searchlight.
