AIR IN GANADIAN HIUSES 100 DRY N WINTER TIME Builetin Issued by Dominion Fuel Board Gives Many Valuable Hints for Health and Economy in HMHeating Homes The air in Canadian homes during a large portion of the artificial heatâ€" ing season is, with few exceptions, drier than that of the driest desert. This is a fact which Canadians either do not know or do not appreciate, says the Dominion Fuel Board. House heating is more than the simâ€" ple process of maintaining the indoor temperature at that point where one does not feel cold. The designers of present day heating apparatus have done excellent work considered from that standpcint; but, as a rule, they nave neglected to take into account the natural law which governs the reâ€" lation between air temperature and air moisture. The result is that, genâ€" erally speaking, Canadian indcor air during the winter is excessively dry. This excesdive air dryness is injuriâ€" ous to health, affecting more particuâ€" larly the respiratory organs and the skin. It is destructive to woodwork and furniture, and to clothing and furnisching fabrics. It als> necessitates th> mainteniance of temperaâ€" tures for comfort than with air conâ€" taining adequa‘te moisture. Many people believe that excessively dry air conditions are to be found only in houses heated by certain types of heating equipment; also ‘that such unâ€" desirable conditions may be remedied by opening the windows and admitting large quaniities of cold outdoor air. "Humidity in House Heating," a bulâ€" letin resently published by the Dominâ€" ion Fuel Board in coâ€"operation with the Natural Resources Intelligence Serâ€" vice of the Department of the Interior, points out that cold air saturated with moisture becomes dry on heatingâ€"not because moisture has been removed, but because of its greaitly increased moisture capacity at the higher temâ€" peraiture. â€" The air in houses during the winter cannot be otherwise than dry, unless provision is made in the heating equipment, or by other means, to satâ€" Thursday, Jan. 9th, 1930 In addtton to indicating, in a genâ€" eral way, various types of humidifiers which may be used, either in conjuncâ€" tion with the heating equipment or inâ€" depenten!ly, to supply the moisture for healthful humidification, this bulletin stresses that fact that the evaporation : of a few quarts of water per day in the average Canadian house during the winter months gives practically no reâ€" Mlief from air dryness The evaporaâ€" | tion of from three or four to twelve or ‘more gallons per day may be necessary, depending upon weather conditions and ventilation.

Moreover the admission of targe quantities of outdoor air increases to a corresponding extent the moisture which must be supplied for this purâ€" "HMHumidity in House Heatirs‘" disâ€" cusses briefly in nonâ€"technical language the essential features of air dryness in house heatingâ€"cause, effect, and reâ€" medy. It explains what is meant by the expression "relative humidity," and points out that, for health and comâ€" for indoor relative humidities of from for, indoor relative humidities of from 40 to 50 per cent. should be maintainâ€" ed throughout the winter, It shows how a hygrometer is used to measure relative humidities, and points out that the effective control of humidifying equipment depends upon results as measured by means of ithis instrument. The purpese in i:ssuing "Humidity in Heating" is not only to further the cause of good hoalth but to promote the more efficient employment of the fuel used for house heating; since the fuel used to maintain the high temâ€" peratures of 72 degrees to 75 degrees for comfont under air conditions may be used to greater advantage in cvaâ€" porating the wat‘er for healthful humiâ€" dification of air a@t the more moderate comfort temperatures so required.

An occaâ€" sional prospector, surveyor, or timber cruiser traversed its lakes in summer, and the Indian trapper cruised it in winter. Toâ€"day the thriving towns of Rouyn and Noranda form the nucleus of an industrial area in .which the scattered producing mines, nearâ€"proâ€" ducers, and prospects. Two roalroads serve the district and excellent motor roads intersect it. The greatest advance, according to Dr. H. C. Cooke â€"of the Geological Surâ€" vey, Dominion. Department of Mines, is visible at Noranda itself, where the great Horne smelter rears its imposing bulk. Built in record time and blown in during the tlosing days of. 1927, it produced in its first year of operation thirtyâ€"three million pounds of copper, worth nearly five millions of dollars, together with precious metals to a value of more than a million dollars. Gradual improvements in practice, without increase of equipment, raised the daily tonnage from 500 tons at the outset to 1,000 tons by the close of 1928. In 1929 this was again increased to 1,300 tons, so that the 1929 production should largely exceed that of 1928. Adâ€" ditions to the smelter were completed in November, 1929, which enable at least 2,000 tons of ore to be treated daily, and with these improvements it is estimated that the production in 1930 will exceed 100 million pounds of copâ€" per. In these two years of operation proâ€" fits have been sufficient to pay not only »perating expenses but also the very heavy costs of development; to retire a loan of three million dollars advanced by Hollinger Consolidated Gold Mines for the construction of the smelter; and to build up a cash reserve of apâ€" proximately seven million dollars. As 1 result the company has announced that in 1930 it will pay a dividend cf three dollars a share, the first quarâ€" terly installment to be paid in January. The mine itself is in excellent conâ€" dlition. Operations have been carried to a depth of 1,200 feet by two shafts, nown as Nos. 3 and 4. The sinking f shaft No. 4 became necessary when No. 3 entered a huge body of very rich are at a depth of nearly 800 feet. On the lower levels work is still mainly sonfined to exploration.

The following paragraphs are taken from a nutrition "publication:â€"‘The question, ‘Do children have to drink milk or can other food take its place?" is answered in a new leaflet entitied, ‘Must I Drink Milk?

Paper manufacâ€" turars and C‘her large users of sulphur have been following these experiments with much interest. If finally successâ€" ful they will add materially to the value of many sulphide deposits in northern Canada. The Aldermac mine, about ten miles west of the Horne, has been engazed during the past year with a programme of exploration and experiment. Th‘s mine, in which opsrations have betca carried to a depth of 1125 feet, has extremenly large bodies of sulphides averaging somewhat less than two petr cent. of copper. In places the copper câ€"ntent is greater, and exploration has been directed partly toward determinâ€" three years to devise, if possible, some cheap of utilizing the iron pyribes thait constitutes this bulk of the crebodies. The experiments, it is statâ€" ed, have been very encouraging, and sulphurous acid can be manufactured by the new method ‘at a saving of 30 inz ‘the exten‘t of the enriched parts and partly toward the discovery of new bodies which, it is hoped, may be of higher tenior.

The one rat, generally miserable in appearance, undersized, and with rough, unkempt coat is a decided conâ€" trast to the large, brightâ€"eyed healthyâ€" looking twin brother rat. The only difference in the diets of the two rats was that one had milk, and the other did not. The bones cf the milkâ€"fed and nonâ€"milkâ€"fed rats are shown as further evidence. The bones of the rat which had plenty of limie are solid, shiny white and well formed. The bones of the rat deprived of calcium are crumbly, dark cloured and thin."

PRODUCT OF WOOD PULP HAS NOTABLE PROPERTIES Despatches this week from New York says that a new demand on the pulpâ€" wood resources of the world is exâ€" pected through the commercial use of a new substance, "Durium," discovery of which was announced to a group of Canadian and United States newspaper men by Dr. Hal. T. Beans, Professor of Chemistry of Columbia University. The new substance is a synthetic resin transfomuned by heat from liquid to an insoluble, infusible, flexible solid. The new substance was developed in the search for an unbreakable phonoâ€" graph record. A thin film of Durium will not crack or chip under hammerâ€" ing, yet is almost as fiexible as paper. It will withstand the temperatures of molten lead or type metal without change, and at excessively high temâ€" peratures oxidizes without melting. The chief difference between Durium and other synthetic resins is the speed with which it hardens, making: it posâ€" sible to utilize stamping operations inâ€" stead of molding processes which conâ€" sume much more time and complicate the process of manufactureé. Dr. Beans demonstrated records and taiking picture discs made from his new compound. Paper phonograph reâ€" cords weighing, but a fraction of the ordinary record were produced. Then Professor Bean took a hammer and bounded the record until he split the chair he was using for an anvil. The record showed no evidence of its malâ€" treatment when reproduced. Scratchâ€" ing the needle across the surface left marks and damaged the needle but did not affect the quality of reproduction. Although the material was developed specifically for a light weight, unbreakâ€" able phonograph and talking picture "When a new product is created in the laboratory," he exclaimed, "it is idle to speculate as to what its uses in industry may be. We know that Durium possesses new combinations of qualities, and that needs exist for such combinations. Science has created the material. Industry will find out how to use it. disc, this does not limit its possible uses in industry, Professor Beans said. Among the Canadian newspapermen who witnessed the demonstration was Hon. Frank Carroll, publisher of the Quebec Chronicleâ€"Telegraph. Durium is photosensistive and darkâ€" ens on exposure to light to a deep golâ€" den brown.
