GLASS ETCHING FROM PRINTED DESIGNS— HOW TO SLICE MICROBES—A USE FOR SE- LENIUM—ACQUIRED HABITS OF WILD ANI- MALS—A RUST PREVENTING PAINS-——HU- MAN RUMINANTS — ACETYLENE AS A POWER PRODUCER —THE ZEBROID—THE LONGEST STEEL TAPE,

A new method of etching on glass or porcelain bas been patented by Herr Retz- laff, of Berlin. The usual German process consists in cementing a sheet of tinfoil to the surface, which is thea uncovered for etching by askillful cutting out of the pattern in the foil, and washing away of the cement. The improved plan is to perform this operation more simply and perfectly by chemical means. The pattern is printed or s’eucilled ia grease colors on the tinfoil, which is then fastened te the glass by asphalt, and the prepared plate is placed in an acid bath thatdissol vee out the exposed parts of the foil. The asphalt is then washed off, when the glass ie ready for etcbing in the usual way.

By means of the microtome, slices 0° vegetable and animal tirsues down to a thinness of about 1-10,000 of an inch are obtained for microscopic study. Prof. Elmer Gates, of Washington, has now gone further, and even slices up blood cells and microbes by cementing them in a single layer betweeu two glass elides and cutting the slides apart with @ very thin blade of copper sharpened to the highest possible degree. The fine grain Af the copper causes it §? take an edge that bd teZor Gao wpproach. The cells are sga’n cut by repeating the operation, aod it 1¢ claimed that slices heve tern made on'y 1-100 as thick asthe thianest produc ed wy the microtome.

Se'enium, hitherto chiefly an iateresting curiosity of the chemist’s laboratory, has been receatly used for coloring glass. When added directly to the glats in the roelting pot, it gives a fine rose tint, vary- ing somewhat with the pur’ty of the seie- nium and bardness of the glass, and when the selenium is mixed with cadmiam sulphide a beautiful orange red is yield- ed.

Sodium carbide, as described to the Parise Academy, is an inexplosive white powder, which, on slight heating. buras ip air, leaving sodium carbonate. Its chemi- cal activity ie much greater than that of calcium carbide.

Civilization’s advance is responsible for a remarkable change of habits in more than one wildanimal. A familiar instance is that of the kea, the great New Zealand

parrot, which was formerly esteemed as é j

friend tothe farmer, but which has b come @ dreaded scourge on account of its acquired taste for the kidney fat of sheep. Dr. Schonland mentions the chacma la- boon as a Cape Colony animal that has be- come similarly transformed. It! -s tr‘cer to killing lam be forthe wk with whicl Yhey have filled their stomachs, ard it is increasing to an alarming extent on account of its warinees and the pro'ection and natural food afford:d by the fast-spread- iog prickly pear. Another South African example is the +o-callrd “wet-gat spreouw” (S3preo bicolor). This animal is now very distructive to fruit, which afew years ago it was never known to touch, its food con sisting chiefly of insects. The Maanlaar jackal seems to have partially acquired a new liking. While its ordinary food is in- sects, and Dr. Schonland has been unable to find anything else in its stomach, farm- ers in certain distri.ts—possibly where roan has reduced its food—insist thar ix is very destructive to smal! stock,

The new rust-preventing paint of Dr. B. Kosemann, of Charlottenburg,Germany, 1s com posed of the perox des of earths of the cerium group. These are incorporated with linseed oi] boiled with a mixture of boric acid and the peroxides. Graphite, Campblack, heavy spar, etc., may be used for coloring. The paint is claimed to falfill all requirements, having sufficient oxygen to insure hardening of the linseed varnish, with freedom from any metallic

Rumination or cud-chewing in man, according to N. Nattan-Larrier, is not known to be, as has been stated, chiefly found in males. It may be hereditary, and wheo involuntary is especially preval- ent among nervous dyepeptics. It is not aesocisted with epecial chemical change of saliva or malformation or lesion of stomach or oesophagus. When volun- tary, it usually occurs in the weak-mind- ed, but in children it may be imitative. Some idiots bring vbeir food up at will for rechewing after retaining it for bours.

From experiments by M. Ravel, it ap- pears that 6 35 cubic feet of acetylene gas gencrates in the gas engine one horse- power per hour, which 1s a reduction in fuel of two-thirds as compared with petroleum, The mixture of air with acetylene begins to be explosive when the preportion reaches 1.35 parte of gas tol of a'r, while the explosive force reaches its maximum with 12 volumes of air to 1 of gas,and disappears at20tol. The flashing pointis about 900° F., moat other gases used for power requiring a ternperature of J,100° to ignitethem. The temp°rature of combustion i¢ much higher than that of other gases, (reat rapidity of the transmission of flame, low ignition temperature and extraordinary energy of explosion are therefore the special charac- teristics of this gas.

Since the domestication cf the zebra, it has Leen suggested that mixture with the horse woula give a half breed combining the qual:t-es of the two animale, as the mule combines the horse and the ass. The new hybrid ia announced py the Baron de Porana, the animal being nowin the second half of the first year. The “zébroid” as it iscalled, isa male of a bay color, with zebra-like ttripes, which are hidden oa the body by the thick winter coat. The black mane resembles that of the zebra, the tail being) ke a muk’s, The baunch is large and weil rounded, the chest long and high, the eyes and nostrils are large, the lips and head small, the legs muscular tut delicate, and the hoofs small, black and hard. The creature is very lively but gentle, ?

TLe high quality of Swedish steel was strikingly illustrated at the Scandinavian Exhibition. A steel ribbons, cold-rolled, was twined like a silken band about one of the pavilions, the Jength of this monster tape being 2354 feet, its width 8 inches, and its weight 1146 pounds.

The Borchardt automatic pistol is cited asan example of rapiditv io complicated mec! axical movemen s. Ae 8 tho's have been fired in one-third ofa second, one* twenty—fourih of a second must suffice for advancing the firing bolt, exploding the charge, extracting the cartridge, and re- loading and cocking for the aext shot.

An Old Woman's Care For Dyspepsia.

“Tne most remarkable thing that has ever occurred to me in my earthly ca- reer,” said Eugene McKelsey, ‘‘occurred some years ago when | was afflicted with dyspepsia. I had a bad case, I assure you. Oh, I was all broke up. Food was disgusting. I had no appetite, and i just walked around looking for some place to lay down and die. Some time passed, and I grew worse, I saw myself a physical wreck, and try as I might I simply couldn't revive appetite nor am- bition. Finally I ran intoan old woman, a kind of witch I guess—old women are always witches when they dress in faded garments and predict to you—who said that I would get well if I should go to s certain farm and three times a day cast anear of corn to a white pig and then listen to it eat. I.do not believe in such rites; but, dear me, I was so sick that I was willing to try anything.

‘So I boughta white pig, secureda pen for it within the mentioned farm limits, and daily made three journeys with an ear of corn that I threw in and then watched the pigeat. Well, do you know the sound of that pig crunching and suck- ing those corn grains made me hungry. Oh, I enjoyed the sensation se much. It made me ravenous. When I returned from my walk I wanted to eat. So I continued visiting the white pig and eat- ing three good meals a day until I was myself again and as healthy as I am now. I don’t care to understand the whyness of it now. I am only too glad to be well.”—St. Louis Globe-Democrat.

A man’s health is the rope by which he climbe to succese. If hecan keep hie health he will go on to euccess. Yet his health is the very thing he neglects more than anythingelee. It is easier to keep health than it istoregainit. When a man feels himself running down, when he realizes a joss of vitality and energy, he must calla halt. The strands of his rope are parting rapidly. Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery bas helped thoueunds of men in justthiscoidit n.

It is a fact worthy of note that Mrs. C. B.
