ISS . e Y Scientific Miscellany.
Tue Pianets as Evecrric Morors.—Iin an experiment described to the French Academy of sciences, M. Ch. V. Ze2uger has imitated the rotation of the earth by means of a hollow glass globe and a Wim- shurst electric “machine. The globe was
steelaxis. Placed between the poles of the machine, so that a line connecting the dir- charge points would pass at one side uf the axis, the giobe began to rotate when the crank of the machine was turned, and cone tinued to move with a degree of regularity and speed varying with the motion generat- ing the current. From this effect it was argued that the mocion of the planets of our solar system have an electro dynanue origin.
Pure Zinc.— A French metallurgist, M, Chahaigne, has succesded in macirg dis- tilled zinc 2s a commercial product. This zine is chemically pure, and, though still somewhat more expensive than ordinary zine (which contains such impurities as lead, tin, cadmium, copper, antim»ny, iron, silicium, sulphur, and arsenic), it has some important advantages. It is more malleable than the ordinary metal], and is easily split or drawn into platesor rods of great tough- ness. In electric batteries the pure zinc is
lconsumed much less repid!y and much more
regularly than che ordinary z ne (even when the latter is pertect'y amalgamated), and gives @ more constant discharge.
ANILINE AS A Microse Porson —Two Gerwan medical men have taken advantage of the property of aniline for killing bac- teria. Violet aniline dyes, arsenic, proving to be without poisonous effect on guinea-pigs aud rabbits, eye- disorders were preduced in those animals, and successfully treated with aniline. skia-ulcer on a scrofulous child was then cured by the daily application of a solution ofaniline. The substance was subsequently found valuable in a bid case of eye-disease, and in general for sterilizing suppurating wounds and sores,
Dr. Russell, an Edinburgh pathologist, claims to have discovered the cancer para- site, which is a fungus of the yeast type.
AN OuncE OF Prevention. —Dr. G. W. Hambleton urges that an important step toward the suppression of consumption is the fitting of the body to resist it. He re- jects the accepted theories, and regards the i disease as depending upon conditions that
; HE SLOOP ‘‘ PET,” 9 tons, new, suit- reduce the breathing surface of the lungs
below a certain proportion to the rest of the body. These conditions—in the ab- sence of which consumption has never been | produced, even in Kech’s experimeats— | include sedentary life and occupations, want lof exercise, defective seats, tight clothing avd whatever may tend to compress the chest and prevent full expansion of the lungs. Remedies »re free country life, well-ventilated rooms, suitable chairs and ‘clothing that is loose and not too heavy. Liability to the disease may be avoided by keepiug the lungs up to the normal capa- city. A man of 5 feet 8 inches in height | should have a chest measurement of from ' 38 to 45 inches, with a power of expansion ‘of 4inches. The earliest physical training should aim at full development of the lungs. Narrow-chested persons should practice deep breathing and exercise sys- tematically to expand the lungs to the healthy standard, at the same time especia!- |'y avoiding work in close and dusty places.
Tue PsonocrarH ry Mepicine —The suggestion that ths phonograph might be , used for recording the sounds characteristic ‘of certain diseases has been successfully acted upon at a London hospital. The whoop of whvoping-cough, with the inter- vening cries of the patient, were as vividly reproduced as if the child were in the room, and so also were a variety of hoarse utter- ‘ances. Ic was evident that the phono- ' graphic record of such sounds must prove of great value for teaching and probably for many other purposes.
A photo-chronographic apparatus for analyzing every kind of motion has been devised by M. Marey. A photographic film is moved by an electric motor across 4& | camera's focus, and may be interrupted fifty {times a second for the production of as / many views of the object. | Messrs. Fremy ant Verneuil have pro- | duced artificial rubies on a large seale and
of greater siz? than heretofore. They are equal to the natural rubies for the watch. maker,
AN INTERESTING PHENOMENON.— Luminous clouds, according to Mr. O. Jesse, were first seen in June, 1885, from the vicinity of Berlin, ‘The time was 9.39 p. m., when the gun was about 9 deg. below the horizou—too low to shine upon ordinary clouds. Continued observations since that time have shown that the laminous clouds have a regular period each year, their appearances at Berlin having been between the last of May and the first of August, and that they travel io the earth's atmosphere in such @ manner that during the months of December and January they are to be found in the southern hemisphere in lati- tudes of about 48 deg. to 60deg Repeated measurements give a height of some 40 to 60 mies, and the light seems to be due mainly to direct illumination by the sua. These im-
| portant peculiarities of a remarkable phen- ' omenon have been firmly established : (1) The luminous clouds have had in general a very rapid movement from northeast to southwest, but much slower movements in the opposite direction have taken place in some cCaseé. (2) Since their first appearance, luminous clouds have to a considerable exteat waned. In 1890 they have displayed a beautiful brilliance during only about three nights; at other times the light was for the most part feeble. (3) Luminous clouds present them selves generally more brightly—therefore are more frequently visible—after than before midnight. While in the firs years they appeared before midnight very frequently, they have done so in the last years very seldom. After midnight they still appear pretty often.
Witt Coxsumerion Fottow !—Small pox has practically disappeared from the Britisa Isles, only one death having been registered from this disease in England and Wales for tie three months ending with September jast. During the same period 85 deaths from small-pox were recorded in Venice, 53 in St.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR. Howians Tunnel Before Recipro. city and Free Tade with the United States.
Sir,—The Liberal chieftain has come jand gone, and the grand rally of his party in the Market Hail is among the things of the past. ‘The people are about as wise as ie were, and all that is left for us to do is to soliloquize the words ‘* Free Trade jand Reeiprocity,” what do they mean / |Free Trade has been declared, time and ;again, 8 impracticable, and Reciprocity ‘is out of the question when the United States declare they are legislating for (themselves and not for Canada, This, to /mue, is hke telling a horse, ‘live and you | wil! get grass.”” Uncle Sam has no notion of bringing the grass unless you give him the horse, and then he can do as he pleases. |Are we to fuld our hands and do nothing \to develop our own country until the | United States will Jift ue out of our bvots / | History is against the watchword and bat- jtle cry of the Liberal party. Instead of setting class against class and farmer | against manufacturer, the interests of the | farmer and manufacturer are identical. | Franklin wrote from Lendon in 177i: |‘* Every manufactarer encouraged in a |country makes part of a market for provi- sions within ourselves, and saves so much money to the country, as must otherwise be exported vo pay for the manufactures ‘he supplies. Here in England it is well known and understood that wherever a manufacture is established, which employs a number of hands, it raises the value of land in the neighboring country all around iit. It seems, thee'ore, the interest of our farmers and owners of land to eucour- age young manufactures in preference to foreign ones.” These are the words of Franklin, and are they not pregnant with meaning.
General Jackson, in a famous letter to | Dr. Coleman, puts the case very forcibly : ** The American farmer has neither a for- eign nor a home market, except for cotvon. Does not this clearly prove that there is too much labor empleyed in agriculture ? and th: t the chaanels cf iabor should be multiplied Common sense at once points out the remedy Draw frem agriculiure the superabundant labor and employ it in mechanism and manufactures, thereby creating » home market for your bread- stuffs and distributing labor to a most pro- fitabie accuunt, and benefits to the country will result. Take from sagricultare in the United States 600,000 men, women and children, and you at once give & home mar- ket for more breadstuffs than all England now furnishes.”
Free Trade will give us only the existing markets, never creates new ones, and the history of countries who tried it is before us. it has been demonstrated that a weak, struggling country, with their industries in the neighborhood of older and more power- ful countries under Free Trade, becomes absorbed into the older and strongest country.
Is there not a Jesson for us in all this in Canada? The lesson appears to me to be this: The party whe cannot formulate a policy as to the best means of governing and developing our Own country indepen- dently of any other country, 1s not fit to rule the destinies of the people of Canada. There is a question above ali other questions. to the people of Prince Edward Island upon which the Liberal party and the leader has beer: silent, viz. : the com- plete and | eral fulfillment of our terms with Canada on the winter communication, Free trade and » ciprocity are mere flies upon the w! e/ compared with the tunnel scheme so a’ xcvocated and set forth as practicable Ly Senator Howlan, Against heavy odds and «amidst a great many difh- culties, Senator Howlan has plodded with this question, and toevery impartial mind I think there cannot be a doubt as to its practicability. What are our representa. tives dving in the Commons? Do they give the Senator any assistance in the matter? No! Well, then, the electors of this country and the whole Province should. The tunnel, and neither free trade nor reci- procity should be the watchword, and the | party who wll not support the tuanel is not the party fur us. Give us the tunnel or subway, develop our own country and let us not be trammelled in matters affect- ing our own interest by any red tapeism at Ottawa, and if the Province as a whole would iaake a solid demand upon Sir John Macdonald and his Government I have no doubt with the information which Senator Howlan can place before them they would cheerfully vote the money.
Before auy election cry is sounded in our ears the country should put forth effurts to bave the question settled. It is ours by right, and inlepenident of our representa- tives at Uttawa, Sir John and his Govern- ment should do right to the Province avd leave the rest to the good sense and jndg- ment and gratitude of the people. Why waste our time talking upon matters over which we have no control when there is a@ covenant existing betweea this Province and the Federal Government that has never been fulfilled, and we as one of the con- tracting parties are not moving & hand or a foot to help Senator Howlan in this matter.
Meetings should be called this winter, resolutions should be passed and the Senator should be instructed, together with the local Government, to make a solid demand upon the Government this winter, and let us have the tunnel without further delay. The loss to the farmers of this Island, by the uon-fulfillment of terms, has as g 4 right to be recouped to them by theGeneral Government as the drawback duties or fish- ing bounties, and the sooner they assert themselves the better.
