Source of Nickel.

Nickel is an element the use of which, in conjunction with steel has revolutionised the manufacture of ordnance and armour-plate Scattered deposits occur over wide areas throughout the world, but there are only two extensive deposits known. One of these is in Canada and the other is in the French colony of New Caledonia at the antipodes Nearly all the nickel used in the United States comes from the Ontario deposits located near Sudbuiy on the line of the Canadian Pacific Railway The average annual output from this source is over ten million pounds. — Mechanical World.

It has long been a recognised custom for an artist or sculptor to sign his work with his name and the date. Two reasons may exist for this — the pride of craftsmanship (for every good workman takes a pride in his work) and the provisions of the English Copyright Act. This latter has made it imperative that, to create or preserve a copynght, the name and date must be appended. There is likely, how-

ever, to be trouble in the future if we are rightly informed The Vicar of Clewer St Stephen's, Windsor, finding that to two stained glass windows recently erected in his church the artist had put his name, insisted on its being at once removed. In the current parish magazine the vicar says that this affixing of names is " just what monumental masons will do with tombstones if you let them, but he never allows this sort of thing \ window or a tombstone is not intended as an advertisement to a tradesman or an artist " We wonder what the good vicar would have said to that very plain advertising epitaph which states " Resigned unto the heavenly will His wife keeps on the business still " ?
