To the Trade Some of you whose plant, have been inspected have received a copy of the written portion of the Engineer's report, showing existing conditions, and pointing out possible improvements which would reduce the chances of fire occurring or of fire spreading. Do you realize the value of such a report as this, made by a professional Fire Protection Engineer? If you had engaged the services of so competent a man profctsionslly it would have cost you a considerable fee. As a member of the Paint Trade Fire Insurance Exchange you will get these inspections twice each year free of cost. This is a most valuable feature in addition to the aaving effected in the cost of your fire insurance. Every member of the trade should co-operate and voluntar ily seek membership. The larger the support accorded the more surely and swiftly will big results accrue. Awaiting your inquiries, I remain Yours respectfully. M. S. CLAPP. President. - ... Warren, Ohio. Tht PAINT.

Maw Ideaa la the Trade. Henry Fenelon, the entertaining correspondent of the London Plumber end Decorator, haa been swinging around the oirele in a tonr of British provincial towns, and writes as follows regarding his experiences: One or two items of interest, however, I gained in my joaraeya. One is ths aaormoes sale of a water paint known i "Mayreaca" Frankly, though conversant with nearly all the washabit distempers 00 tbe market, I hare saver had any thing to do with this one. That it is appreciated in the trade there is so donbt, one provincial sgeot'e turnover each quar ter being simply enormous. These peiute seem to grow ia popularity each year, whether owing to thrir excellanoe or the efforts of the various architects I know sot That they are sanitary'I do know; that they will in domsstie decora tion arm oust wall paper I very much donbt True, they offsr a big scops for toe pencils of the decorators, bat, as I have'eo often pointed out the customers urn not sufficiently educated--the majority of them I mean--to appreciate de aeration. Efforts have hem mads by the various technical aobools to foster this class of work, but the results have beea vary disappointing. Another item of interest is the wonderfully increased popularity of various relief papers, sueh ea Lignomar, Linerneta Walton, Tyneoaetle and Anaglypta--especially the latter--a prominent paperhangings manwiaat assuring me that aotwithetending the exceptionally bad year jut psmwd, the ealee of Anaglypta have beea greeter than eieee he started, and he had every hope that they would still further ierriiisn during 1906. The uee of water peiutand one of the relief papers, I am told, ensbl* an employer to do a job tepidly and economically, and such work oau be got over at a tar 1ms cost than that done with the pencil Everything bo w being oontrsot work has to be taken at e very low flgwr*. A third item is the astonishing number of peperoaagings trimming-machine*, tor go where I will one of these clever labor-saving appliances to in evidence. I have heard it stated tlmt they are nselaas for heavy relief goods, but this is en tirely e mistake, aa they will aa cleanly end sharply trim that oboe of material, yes, and as easily and readily, ae aoommon paper at threepence per dosen yards. Thu we have mater ials end machine* whioh rednoe the out of job* eonsidersbly. A fourth item is the paint-spraying maohiae, which aha economise* labor, whether need with oil peiat or distemper. Mow many of the older hands will doubt the efficacy of the letter machine, end, of eonrae, say no work can equal that at the band. Undoubtedly, but for rough wort, such ee iron girders or tbe limewsebing and distempering so frequently wanted in warebonsea end etcres, this machine is equal to the labor of a doxen men; end for an employer to estimate for labor and material against another uing this machine for painting work' end a machine for trimming, mast wm that it would be utterly ueleae for bim to compete. He might as well save himself the trouble of writing out b (Unuhto* It pcrhipi might bo u wall if tbi Imhaiol schools took these matters in hand, and instead of "art" or useless lessons in stenciling and deooration, give the boys a thorough knowledge of how to hang relief, how to trim with maehine sixty pieces per hour (for this It easily done), and how to manipulate the paint-spraying machine. Iu the long run they would earn far more money than dreamily studying obsolete and out-of-dete methods. COLOR CARDS SIGN BOARDS AND SLATS The LaClede Mf|<. Co. VS. . ... . s> BUHAlO.

A remarkable law discovered by the eminent Buslan chemist, Mendelrrf, many years ago, links.the chsmioal alemeets together in each a way u to indicate a relation between their propertiea and their atomic weights. The lew indicates that hitherto 'undiscovered elements mut exist, and enables chemists to state wbat. the properties of these will be when they are found. Id severe] instances these predictions have already been verified in no striking a manner that tbe law of Mendeleef has been class*i by some writers with the greatest of scientific generalisation*, such as Newton's lew of gravita tion. Mow comes another chemist, 8. H. Harris, with addi tions to this law, which, he asserts make it pouiUe to predict new discoveries with even greater accuracy. The Busina chemist arrange* ths elements in corresponding'lines. 'Hr, Harris has discovered that, in oertain instances, the log arithm* of the atomic weight* of element* in the first line s t c proportional to tbe tqure* of those in the second, la other, eases, they are proportional to the numbers -themselves, and,in still others, to their iqnsre roots, following a certain deifi. nite arrangement, whioh Hr.

L. Barrett Sl Co Chleio, HI. PAINTS IN THE HARDWARE STORE. If a hardware dealer were only to ret hinrer-lf down to con sider seriously the cvcr-occurring question of hour to sell paints nuccorefully, he would be astonished to find how easily the prob lem can w> solved. .Many merchants seem to look upon their paint department as something tntully dilfereut from their otlier hardware line*, and to ignore the fact that the policy pursued in pushing sales in one dirwlion would be equally sw-re-refiil in the other. Why there should be any ja-rplexitv aa regards the push ing of paints we cannot understand. In fact, at the outset the paint department is much more advantageously placed than, say, the builder's hardware, or any other branch, because the merchant is go tlioroughly helped by tlie manufacturer. II,can not only supply himself with any amount of attractive adver tising matter, artistic hangers, colored plates, and so on, hut most paint houses go to the extent of publishing hints as to how the dealer can beet work out a selling campaign, and are ready to back hitn up with the advice born of long cvis-rieia-e ami knowl edge. The manufacturer does his "hare, am! more than his share, in helping the dealer. The paint department, therefore, slarls out with this great advantage. Now, if the dealer only follows out the progressive policy we presume he pursues in'Ins other department*, the selling of paint should be eav. Many merchants stock tle-n paints, in a back portion of the store, probably in a place wl-ithere is little light. Doe* he place hia builder"? hardware then N6, Then why the painta? In the old davs of oil and lea.! there might be some reason for that: Ihere is none now. when ready mixed painta are put up in such clean and attraetiic form. Place the paint department., then, where attention is easily directed, and where the hangers anil show cards get the greatest benefit of the light, *o that n customer, in entering tlastore, may tee the colored plates of nrli?tic Ih-use ^minting and be struck with a desire to have his own house look ns well. . Then the paint department should be given a fair share of window space. Many merchants sccni to think that ) mints do not lend themselves to display. Nothing is further from tlic case. With the various colored lal.-ls, tins, sets in pvramidiral form or in any other design look extremely well, and with tlie help of hangers of beautifully painted house*, the passer-by i probably more quickly attracted Ilian by any other form of window display. Tla-re is color to the window, and color attracts. l'iiint displays should Is- run frequently, not oiu-c u year, and eqi-viiilly during the spring niul fall months. The dealer should make himself strong mi nil 11to-i- talking points la- can secure from the printed matter (if tlie manufacturers, and from their salesmen. Follow up tin- projs-rly owners in the district, not only personally, but semi to the manufacturer, who will follow them up a? well. Thus tin- merchant pets the Ih'ik -I'iI of sirong co-o|H-iutioii. By studying the pushing of hi? paint dc|iurtincnt, a progressive dealer can make that branch of hi? store most profitable. ALLEGED CAUSES or FAINT BUSTESINO.

GLD32367 5tA THE CENSUS OF THE PAINT INDUSTRY In the early days of the American Colonies very little paint vu used, their log cabins and rough mode of life requiring little in the wav of decoration or ornament. Linseed oil was first manufactured in New Yorlc in 1715. The increased production of this stimulated the use of paints. The colors, however, were all imported. . In New Kngland the prejudice against the use of paints as an evidence of worldlincrs and vanity was very strong. In 1630 a clergyman in Clurlcstown, Mass., was brought before the Council for having the in terior furnishings of his house painted, and for forty years later there was not a single painter in Massachusetts. Nevertheless, by 1795 the use of paint had become general throughout the country, the white house and green blinds for many years living the common form of outside painting in all parts of the United .States. The first successful attempt to make white lead in this coun try was by Samuel Wethcrill & Son in Philadelphia in 1804. writes John J, Macfarlanc in Commercial America. An emissary from Kngland burned their factory, hut it was creeled again in 1808. This firm is stilt in existence and carries on the manufac ture of white lead and other chemical.-; in Philadelphia today. The manufacture of the oxides of lead began about the same time. Anthony Ticmann regularly started the manufacture of colors in 1807. Christopher Shrack began husiness as manufacturer of (Minis in Philadelphia in 1810 and also manufactured copal varnish on a small scale. The first varnish manufactured in ihc United States on a large scale was by P. B. Smith, of New York. In 1850 the paint industry in this country received an im petus from the discovery of zinc deposits in New Jersey, giving a cheap supply of ore from which zinc oxide could be easily re duced. This is largely used as a substitute for white lead as a body for paints. Owing to the fact that ilic demand for paint in the United .States had outgrown the capacity of the house (winter t work up his colors with slab and imillcr to the paste form, imichimground lead and .-olors in oil came into use. Alxiut Itr.ti the ready made mixed paints were first manufactured and since that time this industry has grown so enormously that it is claimed thst in 1907 the output was 100 million gallons, valued at 150 million dollars. lead, and 2,927 tons of orsnge mineral. In the same year 77,800 toDs of zinc oxide, valued at six million dollars, were manufac tured. The total value of the paints atone manufactured in the United States. according to the United State* eensu* of 1905, was $07,277.910. distributed among the different states aa fol lows, in millions of dollars: New York, 18.7>; Pennsylvania, 9.1; Illinois, 9.1; Ohio, 6.6; Missouri, 6.1; New Jersey, 3.5; Michigan, 2.8; California, 2.2; Massachusetts, 2.1; Wiscon sin. 1.0. The total value of the varnish manufactured in the United Stutos was $23,561,099, distributed in the different state* aa fol lows. values given in millions of dollars: New York, 6.3; Illi nois. 3.8; New Jersey, 3.4; Michigan, 3.1; Pennsylvania, 2.2, and Ohio, 1.9. Tho above chart gives the eombined value of paint and varnish by cities for the census year. Six- states, New York. Pennsylvania, Illinois. Ohio, Missouri and New Jersey, produce 80 per cent, of all the psint manufac tured in the 1'nitol States, and the same states, with the excep tion that Michigan takes the place of Missouri, manufacture Hourly 90 )>cr cent, of the varnish.

The United State* produce* nearly 30 per cent, of the world's output of lead and zinc, the two metal* which enter moat largely into the manufacture of pigments used in the manufacture of paint.

Non-Polsonous Wlilte Palm or Yarn lull. A traDS-Atlantic exchange descriWa a white paint or varnish, claimed to be non-poisoooua aod permanent in color. It bee been recently introduced and patented by Leonard Hunt, of Mancheater, Eng. The base of this paint or varuish consists of 75. parte of ulphete of barium and 25 part* of sulphite of tine, inti mately mixed together by precipitation. To make this baae or mixture into a permanent white paint it ia first mixed with linseed oil and by mechanical mean* worked into a paste, to wbicb ie then added more oil. turpentine and terebene to form the consistency of a thick cream, the proportions of the oil, turpentine end terebene varying with the nae of the pi.int, or effect desired in the ordinary manner. in using tbe base for a permanent white varnish it is made, in like manner to tlm paint, iDto a paste with linseed oil, and by adding mixed pale copal varniahes, reduced to a creamy or like consistency, the proportion* of the oil aud copal varnishes bring according to the effect desired. The improved paint or varnish, beside* being non-poisononi, ie said to be indestructible by heat and unaffected by sulphuretted hydrogen, whereas the ordinary white-lead paint at preseintin use is decomposed by beat, audeoon turns brown io an atmosphere containing the slightest trace of sulphuretted hydrogen. Water Paints.--A Britiab paint journal observes that there appears to have been of late a large number of new water paints produced--that is, paints which are supplied in a dry powder or thick paste, which are ready for use on the addition of water. They are made in a large variety of colors end when applied to the enrfsce of plaster or other material are warranted not to rob off. This class of paints ie certainly more nsefnl and convenient, but it ie a little difficult to un derstand why to many of them should have been brought out within a limited period of time. Possibly it is to be attrib uted to competition. The strange thing about the production of these specialties is that the uee of them in ibis country muet always be to s great extent limited. Por finishing or dinary ceilings they will probably never be universally adopted because of the expense, but for finishing the walls of schoolrooms, temporary churches and sucb-liks buildings, for sculleries, dairies, etc., they will be always welcome. The surprising thing is that the manufacturers do not take steps to push them more than they do in foreign countries. In outh America and the Wcet Indies, for example, water paiuts re used very extensively, aud, considering the auality and variety of colors of those now prod need, they would be likely to sncceed very well indeed. Of course, some of the larger manufacturing firms already ship considerable quantities of these goods abroad. Our point now is that firms who have brought out water paints recently for the first time can never hope to succeed very well if thoy limit, as they appear to be doiDg, their efforts to obtain purchasers in the home market 56A GLD32372 To loin out a superior rapidly drying varnish, mix pow dered min with a thick milk of lime, aet aside for 24 boon, then pot over a watiV>ath, evaporate to dryness, and powder.

A Fire Proof Patnt. Twenty parts of finely pulverised glass, twenty parts of any sort of stone in powder, ten parts of cslcined lime, and thirty parts of water-glass (silicate of soda), such as ie usually found in commerce. The eolid elements having been powdered as finely as possible and sifted, are moistened and then intimately mixed with the water-glass. This yields a mass of syrupy consistence that may be employed for paint ing, either alone or mixed with color. The addition of the limn giveB a certain uuctuoaity to th- mass for whitewashing, and its combination with the silicic acid of the soluble glass sen es to bind the other materials together. Tbs proportion of the different elements above mentioned may be changed aavo that of the water glass, which moat remain constant Tbiise elements may even be replaced one by another; but it ia always well to preserve the lima. Instead of the silicate of soda (soluble glass of soda), soluble glass of potuh might be used; but the former is leeB expensive. The costing is ap plied with a brush, as other paints are, as uniformly as possi ble over the surface to be protected. The first coat hardens immediately, and a second one may be applied six hours or move afterwards. Two costa are sufficient. This paint may like wise be employed as a preservative against rust Varnish Patnt on Steel.--Prof. Sabin, in an article in the Progressive Age, reports the result of experiments in ths use of psints in the preservation of steel. A test of the rel ative values of ordinary oil paints and of the so-called varnish or enamel paints showed conclosively the marked sup jriority of the latter. About 300 plates of sheet steel were carefully cleaned free from all rust and scale, and wars then oovered with tbrre coats of Ibe paints or enamels to be tested. One-tbird of the pistes were sunk for two years in a fresh-water lake near Boston, soother third were suspended from a float in sea water at New Tork navy yard for a similar tim, and the remaiuder in aea water at Norfolk navy yard, Virginia. As stated, the enamel paint* proved much better tbau their competitors, and this superiority was particularly rnaiked iu the case of enamels whioh had been subjected to baking process. Some of them were absolutely unaffected by their loDg immersion. The character of the pigment mixed with the paint appeared to influence the result out little, tb* one exceptiou being the red lead, which proved mnob ths best of the oil paints. tr Writ* for fsslwt' prepsritiee EMPIRE VARNISH CO., CLEVELAND,OHIO C'k i.t x i.o s k Ta in t k o ii AYf .s k v .l x .-- cellulose paint is recommended by a Trench writer for the protection of ateel sbi|i6 and all exported metal surfaces.

An Iniiovutlon in Knumcl Vnruisli.--A new ename varnish invented by Pancbevre, is aaid to produce a brilliam anrface on metala and be extremely durable, resisting tbf effect of blows without scaling or chipping off, and being therefore highly suitable for cycleaand any other articles ex posed to shock. For the manufacture of 44 gallons, 11 pounds of red copper, 8.8 pounds of yellow copper, 4.4 pounds of hard ateel, and 4.4 pounds of soft steel, all in a comminuted condition, are well washed in petroleum ot mineral spirit, and are then treated with concentrated sul phuric acid io a lead-lmed verge1, with continued stirring for two boors. After twelve hours' reet the sulphuric acid is neutralized with Javel extract, and the fine powder left in the vessel ia passed through a silk sieve to remove any fragments of metal, then ground along with linseed oil, ivory black, and petrolenm, the finely divided mats being afterwards filtered through flannel and incorporated with a mixture of: Bombay gum, 22 pounds; Damascus gum, 11 pounds; Judea bitumen, 22 pounds; Norwegian tar resin, 11 pounds; and 11 pounds of ivory black ground very fine in refined petroleum. When perfectly homogeneous the mass ia again filtered, and is then ready for qse. It is laid on with a brush, aud then fixed br exposure to a temperature of between 200 and 400 C. The ivory black may be replaced by other coloring matters, according to requirements.

Walker shows in an article in La Folette's magazine, how the postofficc is run at a loss, because the express and railroad companies want bigger profits. Wc print a part of the article which touches the most vital points, believing it will interest our readers: The United States postoffice last year did business at a loss of about $17,500,000. The Wells-Fargo Express Company last year di vided profits of $24,800,000 among its stockholders. In 1906 the postal deficit in the United States was $10,500,000. In the same year the four.largest coun tries in Europe reported postal surpluses as follows: Great Britain .................................................. $22,000,000 Germany ................................. 15.000,000 Russia .................... ........................... 15.1x10,i> France ....................................................... ;.. 14.000.000 Of all the imi|>uaiil civilized countries in the world, the United States is the only one in which the postoffice loses money. At the same time, the United Stales postoffice gives less service and charges more for the service it renders than any other postal system in any largo civilized country. In fifty years, instead of making progress with other nations in our postal methods, we have steadily gone backwards. Thirty-five years ago the United States had the cheapest parcels post system in the world. Today our ' rates for sending parcels by mail are the highest in the world. We have more than 60,000 postmasters, almost all of whom are selected for their offices, not because of their knowledge of postal matters, but because of their political standing, influence or usefulness. We pay rural mail carriers starvation wages (less than a dollar a day after deducting the cost to them of keeping their rigs) and require them to equip them selves with a horse and wagon each capable of carrying half a ton of merchandise or mail. Then we forbid these carriers to deliver on their routes anything heavier than letters, newspapers and postal cards, ex cepting at exorbitant rates. A man with an empty wagon drives from town to take the farmer his weekly paper or a letter containing a notice that the railroad has a small package for him, and the farmer has to hitch up and drive to town'to get the package, to bring out a few pounds of groceries, or to deliver his butter and eggs. Most of these and other absurdities are relics of the past, of outgrown conditions. Our postal system has not grown to keep pace with our development as a nation--to meet modern conditions and needs. The reason it has not grown is mainly because the express companies, the railroad companies and the telephone and telegraph companies have not wanted it to grow. These big corporations make big contributions to cam paign funds, and our Congressmen, generally, are more interested in the campaign funds than in the postoffice or the public welfare.

GLD32377 61A EARLY HISTORY OP LINSEED OIL IN THE MIAMI VALLEY. By George Archer. In the *r\y sixties, Dayton, Ohio, had.at one time seven linseed oil mills and was probably making more lin seed oil than any city in the world. No doubt, the raising of flax for the fiber from which the homespun cloth was made produced a surplus of seed which started small oil mills, and the demand from these mills for seed caused the growth of the industry in the Miami Valley'. Probably the first mill was built and run by Prank Esterbrook at Dayton in the late thirties. The pressure was caused at first by driving wedges, later by hand screw presses similar to cuter presses. The writer's father was employed by Mr. Esterbrook, and in good times the output was as much as ten barrels a week. In the early forties, \V. S. Archer was associated with his uncle, Joseph Clegg of Parriott & Clegg, later Clegg & Wood, then Wood, Archer & Co. ]. W. DANIELS, President Arther-Deniele Linseed Co. In the early eighties, the younger Archers built a small mill at Yankton, S. D.. the center of flaxseed production at the time, then moved to Minneapolis and St. Paul, build-' ir.g large mills in the late eighties, and at present the fourth generation successively in this business is interested with the Archer-Dauiels Linseed Company of Minneapolis. Next to Dayton, Ohio, iti number of mills came Pi<|ua, Ohio. A pioneer in the business is still living there--Colonel W. P. Orr, of Orr & Leonard, later Orr, Leonard & Daniels, then Leonard & Daniels. ln'J'Jl)2, the same Mr. Daniels built a mill in Minneapolis, now the Archer-Dauiels Linseed Company. With these exceptions, the early Ohio names have disappeared from the business. TBX LOOK) or FAUfT LEGISLATION. To label or not to label, that is the question that now eonfronts the manufacturer of mixed paints and specialties, and it is a serious question. Heretofore the so-called "pure juiut" legislation has boon coulined to a few stilts, but now that it ia becoming general it makca labeling almost compulsory. Any manufacturer who doca an interstate business--uud who does not?--will find a labeling law perhaps in an adjoining stale, if not in hid own, and he cannot stop all tlie routine of his factory to pvepire a special line of paints for shipment into that particular state. So that it lias now become almost a ease where "discretion is the better part of valor,'' and it is jwrliaps easier to label everything that gin's out, and thus csca|>c any possible penalties tlud may be imposed in any stale. This view is strengthened by tlie fact that paint laws arc now in form in North and South Dakota, Minnesota, Iowa, Ohio. Cali forms. Massachusetts and Vermont, and arc under consideration in Michigan, Wisconsin. Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Nebraska, South Carolina anil Pennsylvnninf It it evident that the paint trade 1ms been aingleil out for invidious legislation and that paint manufacturers arc to Lcompelled to label their products and disclose their formulas at great expense anil loss. The pretense is that such legislation is designed to protect the householder, but it is evident oven to the uninformed or ill advised that the fart of a jmint manu facturer having complied with surh laws by laUding his wares docs not even remotely indirale that they will be finally used without being adulterated. Therefore, in order that the laws already enacted or those proposed shall tie made effective in protecting the innocent householder, the Pa in t . On. Axn Dki o Rev iew urges that an amendment shall immediately be made to laws in effejt and added to laws projioscd. lo the purport that the painter using such materials shall give to the properly owner a sworn guarantee that lie is using them without ail ill ternlions and that he ia applying them as the manufacturers direct; that in every case where paint is prepared by a master painter, con tractor or journeyman, an annlysis ol tin- paint shall be fur nished to the owner of the building and n sworn slntcmcnt shall be made by the painter to the effor t that the paint which he ap plies conforms to the analysis which lie furnishes. This analysis should how the quantity and quality of all the ingredients used --the linseed oil, turpentine, dryer, lead or so-called combina tion lead, zinc, inert material, colors, etc.; and a sworn statemant should be required to the effect that tlie materials were used without any manipulation or adulteration. The Pa in t , Oil a n d Dbu o Re v ie w ia strenuously opposed to any trade being singled out for paternal' regulation, but is like-* wise opposed to any integral part of a trade being exempted from the operation of a law.

"We Japanese have for many generation* sent to all tha eivilized cities of Christendom the finest lacquered ware made in the world, enameled goods with vari-color*d glaaea inlaid with threads of preoions metals wbiob were marvels of beauty and miracles of human patience and skill, decorated porce lain, hand-painted which had been repeatedly fired and emerged from the kilna pnre and flawless so that yoar moat refined and cultnred ladies. placed them in ailk-lined china cloeeta, and feasted their eye* and those of aelaot gatherings upon their holidays and state occasioni; we have aaat yon the moat exquisite wood and ivory oarvings ever created by the cunning bsnd of the artist; bronxea which you have honored yourselves by placing in yonr museums; birds and animals, drawn anatomically correct and colored in the beauti ful hues of nature with infinite skill and cultured devotion; vaeee whoee modeling, decoration, and firing required the labor of months and years, so large in size, and so exact in every detail a* to startle yoar best artiste and challenge the admiration of yonr finrat oonnoiasanre, and despite all of thia, yon have persistently classed ua among the barbarian people of the globe. But d o w , since we have killed aeveral hundred thousand Russians on sea and land and won a aeries of anin terrupted military victories, unsurpassed in reckless abandon of life, in devotion to kin and country, iu endurance and selfabnegation, and iu bravery and the shedding of blood, you suddenly .awake and begin to recognise ua aa a eiviliaed people. "And yet it ia you who prstend to love pesos and depre cate war.

Never before was there ao great activity in the formation of labor onion* aa there ia in tbia age of capitaliatio ooneolidalion on the ore hand and iccialiatio tendencies on (he other Nevr nniona are being formed and old one* are becoming more and more aggreaeive, and the day whan the individual working man treated direot with hia employer aaema to be pasting rapidly away. It ia a movement over which there oems to be no control--e social evolution, as it were, leading nobody knowa where. And now come the painter* with a aeriooa proposition to adopt a union label. They contend that the idea oonld be nq more preposterous than the bread label which stieke to the aide of every nnion-med* loaf, or the printer'* label whieh appear* on fine stationery and rough poster alike. They intend to pnth tbia plan of n union label for painters until it shall be universally adopted wherever local union* can be formed, believing that it will be a great help ia the farther enoe of their organisation. The official organ anggeata that the label be iaanad in stencil pattern to local union* and district oounolle and arrange! on (be lime plan as tbe printer* issue the typographical Union Label, vis: to union shop*, with the right reserved that if the ehop prove* unfair the label can be lifted. "If issued in stenoil form it can be need in oil or distemper and may b* plaoed on the highest class of paper, wood or decor*ted walb without defaeing tbe work. It can also be need with satisfac tion on carriage*, coaches, buggies, wagons, banner*, glass signs, blackboards, and in fact on all that painters, decora tors, paperhangers or hard-wood finisher* may be employed at It will take many years of agitation and considerable ex pense before it become* an established fact; but there ere uo better people in the world then tbe boya who work in paint pafte and varnish to intrednoe the goods It will be 'A Brotherhood Label.'" On closer study tbe label proposition does not seem at nil unlikely to be adopted. Let tbe trade, then, prepare for the inevitable--for tbe time when the badge of respectability in the painter's trade ahull be a stencilled symbol indicating that none but union men need apply. Manufacture of Chemicals at Niagara. Chemists are especially interested in tbe work which tbe Mormoo* electric power generated at Niagara Fall* has acacmpliabed. By the nee of an electrolvtio proeesa invented by Sir Humphrey Davy, todiom ia made in great quantities for tbe manufacture of aluminum, and nodn is produced ad libitum at 90 eente a pound. Alcohol, which ia worth, with the revseu* tax, 99 * gnllqn, ia made for 3 cent* a gallon ont of bitnmiaoua coal at tbs falls Tbe above achievement iu tbe manufacture of sodium effects tbe gold output of tbe world io e special way. In the old days many mine* were unworkable becanee it was impos sible to free Ibe gold at e reasonable rate. Since the dis covery of the cyanide process all that ha* been changed. Cyanide of potassiam is one of tbe by-producta of thssodinm manufacture, and at Niagara Falla ia limited by nothing bnt the demand. Not far away from the falls is tbe region of salt well* and salt-making. From tbe common aalt of that region aodinm and chlorine are manufactured by electric analysis The manufacture of bleaching powder end eauetio soda need to involve tbe hardest phyaioal toil. Now these ere made by the ton every boar or two, and the workman baa nothing to do except to watch the proocaa with intelligent, unflagging attention, to see that it goea right.

Possibly the most foolish of all fool things in retailing is price cutting. One merchant cornea ont with n low price on some staple article and at once every other retailer in the same line goes him one better with a deeper cut. Then the war has fairly begun, and before it ia over prices have gone all to pieces and very one of the competitors hss loot money and none of them has resped any benefit from their insane rivalry. Nothing hut bitterness arises from such folly. If you have faith in your goods, hold up the price and talk qualify first, last and always. If you have no faith in them. got. a line that you can have faith in. You owe it to the manufac turers of honest materials to maintain prices, for a cat price is n confession that you think the goods are not worth what yon hare been asking for them. Of course, a merchant can give his stock away if ba wants to, bnt that is not buriness.
