New White Metal.
Following the discovery of a non-tarnishable silver, comes the news of a white metal which resists both tarnish and corrosion, and has a remarkably deep and brilliant lustre when polished. The day appears to have come when the chemist, by skilfully alloying his metals, can make them resist the ravages of impure air produced by modern industrial conditions. The new white metal, which, it is stated can be produced at a price within everybody's reach has good casting qualities and is both inalleable and ductile. While not entirely un- affected by the atmosphere, the alloy should greatly lessen the work of the housewife whep em ployed in cutlery; and it may have important uses in engineering.

The announcement that "Britan- nia, the King's famous old racing cutter, has taken the water again and is ready to meet all comers of her class, touches the imagination of our maritime race, says the Daily Mail: From her first entry on June 22 on the Clyde up till the end of August "Britannia" will be seen in big-boat racing in a succession of regattas including, of Cowes, the central event. of the yachting season. It is especially right that such a fine sportsman as the King should give a lead to this land exhilarating sport, which has languished somewhat since the "Britannia" was laid up. There is no spectacle more exciting or beauti- ful than a yacht race; nor, it may be added, one that is more appreciated by holidaymakers by the sea

Lord Leverhulme's Luck.
⚫Viscount Leverhulme, speaking at Port Sunlight attributed his business success to strokes of luck. He told a gathering of grocers from London and the Midlands that he first: thought of becom- ing a soapniaker in 1884 when on a holiday in Scotland. On his name return he registered the "Sunlight" through a patent agent in Liverpool, and in that title they had not been forestalled in any country in the world.

Omen at the Wedding.
A
Verily, there is, no end to wed- and ding superstitions, signs, omens. One is always coming across a new one. When the Duke and Duchess of York left the Abbey after the ceremony that united their hearts, hands, and fortunes, an old woman in the crowd was observed to be looking intently not at them, but at the horses that drew the carriage' says the People's Friend, When they started she gave a sigh of relief and cried, There it is now they're all right."" A bystander asked her what she meant, and she repiled, Didn't you see? One of the horses tripped in its firststride, and that's the luckiest thing can happen at a wedding.". This, we are told is a very old belief, though few of us ever heard of it before. When the happy pair go off in s motor car, is there any correspond ing omen? A puncture, dare sxy, would not be considered pro- phetic of good fortune. Cost of Living
The French Commission which is charged with drawing up statis tics showing the rise or fall of the cost of living in Paris has, says a Kokusai message; drawn up a table for the first three months of the year, which, as compared with the corresponding period in 1932; shows a slight Increase. If 100 be taken as the 1914 basis, the cost of food in Paris pow stands at 330, heating and lighting 308, clothing 351, rents 200, and various expenses. which do not come under the cate gory of necessaries 425. When the average of these and other categories is taken, it is found that what cost 100 francs in 1914 and 300 francs during the first three. months of 1922, costs 310 francs. As the franc. has been ipfisted It is less than one third of its gold value, as compared with parity rate before the war, the cost of living is practically unchang since 1914,
