tite liquid c-Lxilness counteracts thoso

The accompanying salad greatly en

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.
Ail of them expressed a d.ir that when
I got the information stjught I should
furnish it to those engaged in the drug

Sav He Ila Found a w Metal.
Gi-org" X Clarke, at exTx-rienced iron-
worker of B-iston. claims to have ai
cover'd an ore ia tbe Becky mountains
which he believes is n to the worid.
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. Tin; result
ing metal, too. is capable cf a high poiL-h.
la a word. I f JLnd that tlie ore increase 1
the tensil3 strength and the fluidity
under beat of both thesa metals and
makes them both of finer grain. It is
non-corrasive."
Mr. Clarke produced a handful of tite
ore a substance that looked like a fine
saaLston savn that it was black, and
many pieces of it presented highly pol
ished surfaces as sm Kith a f a bit c f glass.
