Juliet Corson in Harper's Lkizar. Ita Origin ia loabt Tiie other day I casually aske-1 a drug ch-rk the origin of tite many colorel lights which are now the universal signs of a drug store. The youth referred me very l. as.antly to an older man in the store, who fittaily admitted that he knew ab.r.t as little as Lis younger associate. I called in every drug store on upper Broadway and made the same query. At each place the question seemed to par alvze tiie younger members of the estab lishment. The older clerks contented themselves with the opinion that it was o-.ly to attract attention that various colored lights were represented by jets Uhind liquid ia a ftlass bottle. I a.-cer-taiued that there was a LTea; deal of knack in preparing the lirpti-1 so as to give a ch ar light of whatever color de-s-tre 1 and to stand the test of time with out precipitation. One clerk said he thought that the enst - mi could be traced back two or three hundred years until it fa-led into the barber pole that is now the sign of the tonsorial artists throughout the Eniish sneaking world. Another man, who seemed to get a little nearer to it than the re.it, stiid that it originated with the early chemists and alchemists, who desig nated their place of business in this way.

He says of it: 'I took specimens of the ore to as sayers in Cincinnati, Caicge tml Boston, and no one of them could tell me the name of the raineraL Then I began here a series of experiments myself, mix ing it with molten iron. It combined txrfectlv with the iron, and I found that only a small quantity was necessiry to increase the fluidity of the metal. It rendered tiie iron ductile, tin 1 in law grades acted as a purifier. The product of the alloy was a homogeneous metal of very fine pores, capable of higher finish than before. Tbe i-lag expelled by its use contained no metal, and was very light. In the treatment of iron with only one per cent, of this new ore the former's tensile strength, was in creased from 10 to 2-"i per cent Using only half of one p.-r cent, cf this or in a mixture with corper, I f onn-l i that it gave the metal greater density i and a great increase from 6) to 100 per cent of tensile strength.
