SCIENTIFIC MISCELLANY,

Recent investigations of Mr. Camille Flammarion, the versatile French astron omer, have been applied to problems in plant growth. Cultivating plants under red, green, blue and colorless glasees, he bas found not only that the growth is wonderfully stimulated under red glass while the development of woody fiber is greatest under clear glass, buithat the color and shape of leayes, flowera and fruits are often effected by the color of the light, Liles that were pink in ordinary light became white under green glass. The size shape end color of geranium and coleus leaves varied greatly in light of different colors as wei] asin that of varying intensity, tem erature preving to heve little influence: A German reviewer of these experiments finds that all plaote may be divided into three principal groups. In the first, the influence of light on the nutritive process in the cell causes the colors of leaf and flower; inthe second, the color is influenced by the direct effects of eunlight; and in the third, the coloring of certain parts is not dependent on light.

A disappoiuting feature of the “Turbina” whose pertcrmance not many months ago astonished the world, was the lack of auy means of reversing the motor. Mr. Par. sons at first thought to overcome the diffi- culty by the crude plan of using a s-parate engine for running system, but bas now announeed that he hae succeeded in apply- ing to the steam turbine a system of butterfly reversing steam valves by which the steam may be made to act on the blades of the motor in either direction.

Wearing for eight dayaa mask fitted ) with inverting leases, proj-cting upon the retina erect instead of the usnal inverted images, Prot. Geo. M. Stratton, of the University of California, eoon learned tu see objects right side up, butto his sur- prise everything appeared upside down when he first removed the apparatus. He concludes that seeing right side upis a mental rectification of the visual image

eon projected upon the retina.

Precise measurement of the velocities of projectiles—whiecb vow reach half a mile per second—require ingenuity. The ordinary chronograph consists of a shutter suspended byanelevtromagnet The shutter being dropped as the cannon—ball breaks the first of aseries of wires, and given a knife-cut at the point reached in its fa!] as each of the other wires is broken, The velocity is calculated from the knife marks and the known speed of falling bodies. A new and more delicate chronograph—The invention of Prof. Cushing Crehore, of Dartmouth Ccllege and Lieut. Owen Squier, U. 8. A.—depends upon the modern discovery known asthe Faraday effect a tribi of carbon bisulphide between the two Nicol priems of a _ polariscope allowing the ray of light usually intereept~ ed by the crossed priems to pass when a stroug magnetic field is produced. The magnetic field is given by a coil cf wire surrounding the tube. The recording apparatus includes, besides the polari-cope and tube, # camera with a revolving seusitive plate and a falling shutter with two apertures,one Openiag admitting the polarized light and the other a ray from the vibrating prong of atuning fork, The vibration rate is known and the dots formed on the sensitive plate constitute the time-scale for the projectile record. The projectile breaks the magnetizing circuit— extinguishing the light—as it outs the firat wire, restores the circuit by a simple device as it reaches the second wire, breaks it agein at the third, and so on, four circuits giving a reeord of eight time intervals. By suitable placing of the wires any portion ot the projectile’s path may be studied. A etriking observation already made is that the pro- jectile increases its velocity fortwo or three yards after leaving the cannon, slowing down to muzzle velocity in about 25 yards. A modified apparatus raakee it poesible to fcllow the ball’s course inaide the cannon. The quickness of the measurements is marvellous, ten pointe having been taken in 30 inches, the time interval being 1.2000 cf a second. ‘

Peat is treated in an Englien process, patented by Mr. Blundell, by being form- ed into paste, molded inte tubes four or

five inches throngh, then cut into sticks aud dried for three or for weeks. Thus prepared, the material can be used ag fuel oritcan be more proiiably made into eharcoal in retorts. Three tons of peat make oneton of charcoal. Tue process ia tobe tested in lialy, where are large deposits of pest.

A remarkable fabric now being made in Brusseis is flexible, tranaparent, and im-~ pervious to water. Iie surface, like that of glass, can be washed with a wet sponge. The material is made by a patented pro- cess, whieh cousi-ts in filling the meshes of a wide meshed fabric, such as muslin, with chrome gelatine, rendering the gela- tine insoluble by exposure to light, and then giving both sides several coats of boiled linseed oil or fat varaish, The fabric is ornamented by printing, and is designed especially tor portieres, window shades, umbrellas, an” similar ures,

The theory that gold nnggetshave been deposited from & solutiou around a nue: Jeus has been a subject of investigation by Prof. A. Liversidge, the Australian minpe- ralogist. He finds tha: etahed sections of nuggets show more or lesa crystallization often large and well-defioed crystals, some times with inclusions ot quartz and other impurities, bat never concertric layers. Gold that had been fused had a sinsilar crystailine structure. He does not think this necessarily proves that native gold has been in a melted condition buat be- lieyes that it bas been deposited from solu: tiou and uausualiv in veins and cavities, although possibly around a nucleus,

The daily expansion and contraction of the Eiffel tower at Paris have been studied for ten years by Col. Bussot. The light- ning-rod at the top is kept always in motion, exparsion produciog a torsion movement of about tour inches from sup- rise to sunset, and contraction reversing this as the mass of iron and steel cools at bight. This trusting, which does not comprom'se the solidity of the structure, is greater in scummrr than in winter,

The phosphorescence» of decaying wood proves to be due to minute vegetation, in-~ stead of to sclely chemical causes as some have supposed. The mycelium of some undetermined fungus from pine bas been cultivated by Kutcher, a German biologist, in decoctions of beech bark and agar-agar, the result being a white, brilliantly luminous growth.

The obvious advantages of the phono graph heve been at last recognized vy the French town of E:amves, whose municipal counci! has adopted the apparatus as & recording secretary.

Trying a Dead Man.

It is probably an unusual thing in any country for a court to sit in judg- ment on the dead, but in a Berlin letter to the Chicago Record an account is given of a trial in which the accused was a dead man.

It was not his first trial. That had taken place in his lifetime, and its re- sult had been a sentence of imprison- ment for 18 months. The delinquent was bureau chief in the tax office of Schweidnitz, Silesia, and it was proved that he had embezzled funds and forged documents. Soon after his sentence, however, he showed signs of unsettled reason, and at length died a maniac.

His widow, anxiors to clear his mem- ory from the stain that rested upon it, had the case reopened and proved by expert testimony that her husband had been demented at the time he commit- ted the crime.

Thus occurred the peculiar circum- stance of a dead man ou trial. The trial resulted in the reversal of the former sentence, the court pronouncing the de- ceased not guilty.

a Good Thing

to be rid of, because bad blood is the breeding place of disfiguring and dangerous diseases. Is your lood bad? It is if you are plagued by pimples or bothered by boils, if your skin is blotched by eruptions or your body eaten by sores and ulcers. You can have good blood, which is pure blood, if you want it. You can be rid of pimples, boils, blotches, sores and ulcers. How? By the use of

AYeP’s

Sapsaparitia

It is the radical remedy for all dis- eases originating in the blood. Read the evidence :

“Ayer's Sarsaparilla was recommended to me by my physician as a blood purifier. When I began taking it I had boils all over my body. One bottle cured me.””—Bonner Crart, Wesson, Miss.

“After six years’ suffering from blood poison, I began taking Ayer’s Sarsapa- rilla, and although I have used only three bottles of this great medicine, the sores have nearly all disappeared,”” —A. A. Mane NING, Houston, Texaa,

THE LITTLE BOY THAT DIED,

Dr. Chalmers is said to be the author of the following poem, written on the occasion of the death of a young son whom he greatly loved.

I am all alone in my chamber now, And the midnight hour is near, And the fagget’s crack, and the clock’s dull tick Are the only sounds I hear; And over my oul in its solitude Sweet feelings of sadness glide, For my beart aud my eyes are ful] when I think Of the little boy that died.

I went one night to my father’s house, Went home to the dear ones all, And +oftiv I opened the garden gate, And sofiy the door of the hall! My wother came out to meet her son, She kissed me and then she sighed, And ber bead fell on my ueck, and she WED? For the !ittle boy that died.

I shall miss him when the flowera come In the garden where he played ;

I shall miss him more by the fireside Whea the flowers have al! decayed ;

I shall see his toys and his empty chair, And the horse he used to ride ;

And they will speak with a silent speech Of the little boy that died.

We shall go home to our father’ shouse— To our Father’s house in the skies, Where the hope of our souls shall have no blight, Our love no broken ties; We shall roam on the Lanks of the river of peace, And bathe in its blissful tide, And one of the joys of our heaven shall be, The little boy that died.

AN ANSWER AND PROPOSITION,

Sin.—At last the nine days wonder occasioned by the failure of * Mariaer and Hie As-es” to disturbe by their braying the cows ruminatiog by the roed side leading to the village of Annandale, on the warm sunpy afiernoon of the 7th day of November, 1897,bas been dispelled. For after staying in tbe womb of oblivion for nearly four mouths, he has been boru again to the reading public, as a ful! tiedged navigator. The difference bet- ween a “* Mariner” , and a “ navigator ”’ 1 leave him toexplain. He speeds on and says the matter was ventilated last fall. So it was, until I clogged the ventilating pipe with a propesition ! He goes on and says the specification ealls fora can buoy outside the bar; and that a beer cask with some slabs on it is the one I use; and that during the fall of of the last year the (ate contraeior had charge ot the buoys he lost the can buoy and having no spare ove, mark you—put out arum pu: cheon for that fall and that it is still there. Now, if I use thisram pue cheon where doesthe beer or ale caek come in and vice versa. Well,now **Naviga‘or,” if you answer my proposition and give me the privilege of seeing yeur amiab'e c-unienance, in snswer to some cf your assertions, 1 am afraid I wili b: tempted t» call you a Siar; butas it will hurt your nerves todo this in public, I wilrefrain. You assert first that the present bar buoy was first put ont in the fall of 1896. Now sir, that is false. It was made by Mr. Jokn Howlett, according to @ plan sent by Mr. Lord,to Mr John Swallow the then contracter, inthe year 1+90. So much for fal-ehood rumber one. Again he rambles on and says that there should be two black spar bnoys,one on each side of the bar. Will Navigator inform me where the side of the barare? ‘They cannot be needed on the inside or outside as there isa can buoy outzide and a cask buoy inside. Perhaps He has some vltirior motive in wishing the epar huoys scattered tome where sloug outside the harbor; anyway they are not named in my bonds, so that

I never Lave 10° never will put th m out. But perhaps, he m:ant one of the inside sets of

spar buoys one of these buoys being red, the Agent of Marive and Fisheries having ordered it to be painted that color. I beg Jeave to inform him that] have chain moorings eraorgh for all the buoys and enough spare chains for to moor all his shipping at any time he feels inclined to atk forthem. And in order to end this Apostle of Calumny’s,ca:e°r, at once,] make him the following ofter: let him, and tbe quadruple alliance that he writes for, come to Mr. KE. McFarlane’s, store, en Monday, March the 28'b,at7 o'clock p. m., and their answer the following charges and assertions they have made regarding the Grand River bucy service, myself, snd the harbour master: Ist That the present bar buoy is not lawful; 2od, where they ever saw a epecification of this harbou:; 3rd how I die- obeyed my instructions in painting a spar buoy red; 4th, answer the proof I have that the present bar buoy can be seen further than the old one; 5th, which con- tracter first painted all the spar buoys 6th, which eon:ractor first kept « eper buoy 6ft above the water; 7th, wich contracter first used a chain mooring on a spar buoy; 8th. why do you not obey the 10th com- mandment of the decalogue?

I will bring my beuds and you will have the privilege of seeing how 1 observe my obligations te the public. And now, with an apology to my pen for using it to hurl such a base caluminstor from my path,I will close with a hope thatI will never have to solicit the attention of your readers with a reply to Navigation again.
