Recent deal research proves that film a chief enemy of healthy teeth and gums the sunrve of most dull teeth, a chief cause of many gum disturbances.
Because old ways of brushing failed to remove ihn successfully, a new way in tooth and care is being widely sug- gested by dental amhorities. These are emind the special fla-removing dentifice called Pepsodent.

Film was found to cling to teeth; to get into crevices and stay; to hold in contact with teeth food substances which fer- mented and fostered the acids of decay.

If we wish to avoid the fate of the nine great Empires which have dominated and declined, we must nce that our "Lotus eating", does not take the place of working, and that we do not allow "jazz" to`pay fat dividends while steel, cutlery, and plate. languish and our high thinking and spirituality decay.
The most crushing condemnation of jazz is that it is a dead-end sort of composition which cannot pro- gresa, Nothing, can make it any- thing but the essence of vulgarity. It is a low type of primitive music both in structure and performance. It is decidedly atavistic.
It always puts emphasis on the grotesque by, bangings and clang- ings of pots, pans, or any shim- mering metallic substance, rein- forced with special drums,
industry.
Formerly, metal films were manufactured by welding shoots of some more or less noble metal to plates of copper; these on plates, being then rolled out and the copper dissolved in neid, the film of noble metal remained." It must be remembered that, especially in technology, the word film" means, not only "the layer, usually gelation or collodion, containing the sensitive salts of photographic plates," but "also the flexible shoot of celluloid or similar material upon which this layer is sometimes 'mounted" and even any extremely thin skin or pellicle no matter of
The next method adopted was to deposit the noble metal galvanically on a metal sheet. In this way, films of one ten-thousandth of a millimeter can be produced; but it is so difficult to remove these films from the acid uninjured that baly those of very slight dimensions can be got out unpierced.
The popularisation of this type of music and the attendant im-what material. modest dances leads to, and, in fact, has already led to, a lowering of the prestige of the white races. The noble trombone is made to bray like an ass, guffaw like a village idiot, and moan like a cow in distress; the silver-toned trum- pet, associated in poetry with the seraphim, is made to screech, pro- duce sounds like drawing a nail on a slate, tearing calico, or like a nocturnal tom-cat. Unfortunately the white races have lost a lot of that subtle element of superman superiority owing to the large num- ber of coloured students seeings so much of the giddy side of English
life.
To meet the difficulty, Dr. Muller resorted to the following method. He galvanized the free side of the film with a deposit of copper, and thus cbtained a triplex metal sheet, with the noble metal enclosed between two layers of the non-noble. This tripicx sheet could be easily fixed in a frame and the layers of copper corroded off. By such means, Dr. Muller succeed- The great. surplus of women ised in producing films of platinum. grave problem in Denmark silver, nickel and iron 2 to 6 centi- According to the latest statistics meters in diameter and varying in thickness from a hundred-thou- there are 1,086,000 women and sandth of a millimeter to a 200- 925.000 men, which gives a thousandth. feminine majority of 95,000.

The tenacity of these excessively thin films is astonishing. For in- stance, the nickel film resisted. the weight of a mercury column 25 em. in helght without suffering rupture. Uapierced films were obtained having a thickness of one forty-thousandth of a millimeter and yet measuring 6 em. across, of 50-thousandth to a thousandth of a millimeter and 2 em. across. These, last films were 14 transparent as crystal; it was possible even to take instantaneous photographs through them. The gold film allowed 50% to 60% of the spectral rays to pass through

Culeulations showed that 'gold films with a thickness of about d 100-thousandth of a millimeter were roughly 30 times the diameter of their own chemical atoms and nickel films 25 times. Despite their relatively large surface, their bulk is very slight. Now the physical inertia of the vibrating membrane is the chief cause of the | faulty reproduction of sounds in the telephone receiver; the lower the coefficient of inertia, the, finer the reproduction. These new films are therefore destined to play a special role as membranes in tele- phony, in short-wave radiography and in telegraphy. Owing to the enormous disproportion between their surface area arid their bulk, they cool so rapidly after the par- sage through them of an electric current that they can withstand a high voltage without melting. This constitutes a matter of the greatest significance in connexion electric contrivances. with many If, for example, films of various metals are combined, Irridintion of produces thermo- the junction electric currents Indicating even a millionth of one degree contigrade. Hence, by using sufficiently sensi- tive galvanobeters, it would be quite possible to measure the tem- perature of the constellations in big telescopes.
Again, in such sciences as zoology and medicine, these films can be employed to register the most de licate sounds. Probably, indeed, their future application will ex- ceed the range of present envisage- ability. And, albeit the produc- tion of those fima la still confined to our laboratories, the time is close at hand in which their manu- facture on a large scale will be undertaken by industry.
When, the Wrexham (Denbigh- shiro) Fire Brigade arrived at a stack fire at Gwersyllt Park, to which it had been summoned by telephone, the farmer met it and Baid he had not sent the message, and in any case was too poor to pay the expeness of the firemen. The owner of the park offered to contribute £6, but the farmer still said he could not pay the brigade, which thereupon returned home, Ioaving the stack burning. The stack consisted of about 10 tons of hay valued at approximately £50. The brigade's charges for firea outside the borough are £7 78. for the engine and about 30s. an hour for the firemen.
