SCLENTIFICO MISCELLANY

Iridescent films are ingeniously fixed and adapted to purposes of ornamentation by the Directors of the Physiological Laboratory at the Sorbonne. A sheet of impermeable paper or other material is placed at the bottom of a vessel that can be completely emptied by a stopcock, the vessel is filled with water,jand a little resin, bitumen or tarry matier in a volatile solvent is dropped upon the surface. As the solvent evaporates the film becomes beautifully iridescent, tb¢ colors changing with the vibrations ofthe particular tone produced ifa whistle or other musical instrument is sounded. On allowing tle water to rup off, the filn: becomes attached to the paper and imparte, to this, when dried, the appearance of watered silk, or the glossy iridescence of certain birds and insects,

The mud from coal washing is utilized by a Friedrichsthal engiueer. He finds the mud to consist of two portions—one being chiefly clay andthe other particles of coal—and he separates them by drying and sifting, the clay passing through as fine dust while the fine coal ie retained by the sieve. The cvsl centains little ash and is adapted for various purposes, while the separated dust has proven not wholly useless.

German figurescredit various woods with the following heating capacities : Linden, 1; fir, 0.99; elm and pine, 0.98; willow, chestnut aod larch, 0.97; maple and spruce, 0.96; black poplar, 0 95; alder aud white birch, 0.94; oak, 092; locust and white beech, 091; and red beech, 0.90. Modern scientific research gives us another surprise in thus ehowivg that the soft woods have greater heating power than the hard.

A remarkable object that “ rather resembles some obscuring medium than a nebula” is the unique discovery in tbe constellation of Perseus lately made by Rev. T. E. Espin.

A bar of soft metal is used on Dresden electric lines instead of the trolley wheel and is claimed to wear the wire lees aud to he more convenient.

Frequent sea disturbances that are sometimes called earthquake waves are recorded in New South Wales. Mr. H C Russell, the Government Astronomer, states that these have about 26 minutes from crest to crest, which corresponds to the period of waves from earthquakes, but it has been shown that only about | per cent have really orginated in earth movements, About 6@ per cent. have their origin in confined waters far to the south undera low pressure. The low barometer is accompanied by a rise in cea level, resulting In currents that meet Baes Straits, producing waves that are transmitted through Tasman Sea and are recorded by the Sydney and Newcastle tide ganges. Heavy gales orginate at least 10 per cent more in the Tasnan Sea. The remainder of these periodic waves, which somewhat resemble those that have been noticed in Lake George, are believed to be due also to meteorulogical cause, although the connection bas not yet been traced,

Improvement of the gas engine seems to offer a promising field for some inventor. The exhaust gases in the average engine are heated to about 950° F., and a techni- cal authority calculates that a reduction of this to 300° with the same initial tem- perature would increase the theoretical efficiency from 53 per ceni to 76 per cent. External refr.geration is thought by radia- tion and condition are sbout 65 per cent, and only about 17 per cent of the total heat of combustion is converted into available power, and an almest equal percentage passes uselessly away with the exhaust gases,

If the light from an arc lamp be brought to a focus within a veseel containing moist dust free air, Mr. C. J. R, Wileon, an English physicist, finds that a bluish fog becomes visible in the course of a few minutes along the path of light. The cloud particles remain in suspension for hours after thewght has been cut off, Further experiment proves that these clouds, unlike those obtained by Tyndall

and and by Aitken, by the action of light on various vapors, are due to the ultra. violet rays alone; and it is suggested as possible that the particles giving the blue of the sky may be dueto ultra-violet rays | probaly plentitul in sunlight as it ficet enters our atmosphere.

‘‘Ked rain dust” from a heavy fall at Melbourne in 1696 has proveu identical in composition with ordivary soil from volcanic rocks.

During the last ten years a great many} night photgraphs bave been taken by M. G. Loppe, of Paris, who has acquired great skill aud bas obtained some very remarkabie negatives. Exposure and focusing offer the chief difficulties. The former, of course, must be quite long, and must be varied according to the intensity

Between 10 and 11 o’clock on an evening of last May, two distinct and extraordinary photographs of the E ffel tower weve secured, the firat showing the tower th:ough a celuge of rain as it was struck by a bolt of lightning; and the second giving a view as the shower had passed to the south and the clouds were ciearly outlined by illumination from the distant flashes. The time of exposure ia each case was about fifteen minutes.

English botanists have called attention to the suitability ot the spore dust of cert~ ain fungi infecting cereals for use as a co- loring matter iu the paints of artists. Moistened with alcohol and mixed with gum, oat smut forms a water-color pig- ment ofa fine sepi ordeep brown shade, that may be lightened by mixture with white, and has proven to be little affected by sunlight. Similar spores, it further appears, are used by Japanese ladies asa pigment for painting the eyebrows,

The largest quartz crystal known is that found by Mr. J. E, Burton last December in a mice of Calaveras County Cal. It is

reported to be 11 feet 7 inches in circum-

ference, 4 feet Zinches long, 3 feet 6 inches | wide snd 3 feet 2 inches high, and to weigh | over 2200 pounds. It is thought thata, large point in the centre would cut @ pure | ball of erystal from 12 to 14 inches in

A unique forest of immense pslm-like stalagmites has been discovered by M. Marte! in a watural pit in the limestone of the Lozere, France. They are at the lower ead of an immense sloping chamber, reached by descending a p erpendicalar shaft about 2200 feet, and many are very beautiful, while one is over 90 teet feet high, nearly touching the vault of the caveru.

English Mistletoe,

It may be of interest to know that of the ‘‘English’’ mistletoe so conspicuously displayed on our city streéts about Christ- mas time not one-tenth really comes from England. orchards of Worcestershire and Lincoln- shire, from which the English mistletoe is obtained, have nearly exhausted their sup- ply. Most of the mistletoe now brought to this country comes from Normandy, where it is so thick that the farmers look upon it as a nuisance. Some American mistletoe, from Delaware and Virginia, is sold every year, but it is generally regard- ed as inferior to the imported article.— Boston Transcript.

Siberia is not an arctic waste, but an immense country witle vast resources. An English military attache who has traveled through that vast country declares that Siberia can produce about every kind of cereal and live stock, and it possesses abundant quantities of the more important minerals.

Active efforte are being made in the Western States to secure the passage of 8 law which will afford respectable flour manufecturers protection against the prac~ tice of adulterating wheat flour with coro flour, starch and other cheap products. The fraud, it is said, has been practiced to such an extent that makers of pure wheat flour are forced totake steps to stop it. some time ago the millers s-nt Augustine Gallagher to Washington to look after their interests in bringing the adulteration bill before Congress. A monster petition it to be forwarded to Washington. It is said that 100,000 signatures will be obtained

The things that peuple see are inside o them and not outside. No two people see the same thing exactly alike. One woman may look out ata beauciful landscape and see all tbe beauty and restfulness and grandnees that there is init. Another one wiil look out atthe same scene and see nothing. The man who is perfectly well and vigerous enjoys life to the full. Dr, Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery makes people well. There isn’t anything miraculous about it—it is the most natural thing in the world. It simply puts the digestive organs, the stomach, the liver, the bowels, in perfect order and thereby makes the blood pure and rich. All diseases live and thrive on impure blood. Keep a ttream of pure, rich, red blood flowing into a diseased spot and the disease will not stay. A maa lives on rich, pure blood, and disease dies on it.
