TE DAILY EXAMINER.

JANUARY 21, 181. Scicatific Miscellany. Timper Preservarives,—Of the many processes suggested for preserving timber, oniy three have been much used. Of these, kyanizing, or impregnation with bi- chloride of mereury, has proved very effect- ive for structures—hke b idges—expesed to the weather alone, and not to contimucus dampness; but for railway sleepers or pavements it is of doubtfal value. Bur- nettizing, or treatment with suiphate of zine, is unfitted for bridges and other ex- posed places on account of the readiness with which the zine is washed out. Sev- eral methods of preventing this, however, by closing the pores of the woud, have been proposed, The burnettizing process is used ‘osume extent in the \Wuited States for though the cost is 20 to 25 cents each; while on English railways the third process, crevsoting, 18 almost universally employed. Creosoting is also much used for herbor works, as it offers the only practicable means of resisting the at- tacks of marine worma A _ bew process, consisting in seaking the timber in naptha- line, was introduced into Eugiand in 1882, aad is reported to have given good experi- mental results for sleepers, coal mine sup ports, harbor works and cars, and to have the advantages of not uuficting the wood fur cutting or painting, and of being readily applied to the undried jogs. Grounp Water AND Dissgasz. — Mr. Baldwin Latham, President of the Royal Meteorological Society, states that most epidemics accompany or immediately follow a@ period when the underground water is unusuaily low, though some diseases are inost rife when the soi] contains most water. Cholera ordinarily breaks out when there is least ground water; smallpox is almost al- ways preceded by along season of dryness of the ground; and typhoid and scarlet fevers are most prevalent on the first wetting uf the ground after a dry period. There is usually most diphtheria in alow water year. Measies, on the contrary, is most prevalent at and near high water periods, while whooping-cough increases with the ground- water, and diminishes as it subsides. The death-rate is always greatest in years of drought and low ground-water,

Execrric Laraus. ~A writer on machine shop improvements says that just as we are feeling pleased with electric lights, tele phones and electric buttons, we find thata wire is to be led to the engine lathe to assist in turning tapers and irregular outline work that must be turned from a pattern, Two friction wheels attached to the cross feed revolve continually in opposite direc- tions, and are thrown intu gear by electro magnets. A pointer reaches from the tool post to the gauge line that is given to work from, and the electro magnets take good care to keep the lathe tool in a position where the pointer just reaches the gauge line. lathe a battery of his own make, and finds that ic assists his eyesight wonderfully. When he wishes to see if he has clamped his work on true, he sets in the lathe a tool that has a wire attached, and a bell rings the instant it touches the highest point of revolution,

Constitotion or THe Eartu.—Sir Wm. Thompson demonstrates the solidity of the earth by rotating two eggs, oneraw and the

other cooked, suspended by steel threads. |

The cooked egg behaves like any solid body and continues to movo tor along time; but the raw egg soon comes to a siup, because the shell only was put in motion, and the friction of the matter of the egg soon over- comes the impulse. From this it appears that the earth cannot consist of a thin solid crust containing # liquid or pasty nucleus, such constitution being particularly incom- patible with the movement of the terrestrial axis corresponding to the precession of the e juinoxes.

An Austrian naval officer finds that, con- trary to general statement, the imaginary line separating one day from the other does not pass the Philippine Islands on the west, but considerabiy tu the eastward, A change to the European date was made “by the governor of those Islands in 1844, by omitting December 31st from the calendar for that year. A similar change was made in Alaska on its purchase from Russia.

The 300.h astervid was discovered on Oct. 3rd. The first was discovered Jan, Ist, 1801, and the list has been increased by about 100 in the jast ten years.

Variations oF Latirepe.—Observations at Beriin, Streeburg, Prague and other places have been reported as showing a decrease in the latitude of Central Europe. This implies that a shifting of the earth’s axis is in pro- gress, For the six months ending with Feb- ruary, 1890, the amount of decrease was balf a second, which would be quite a serious rate oi alteration if steadily coutinued. Accordiog to Prof. Alfred Kirchoff, however, the obser- vations for the haif-year ending with August, 1890, show an epposity change—or increase — in Ber.in’s latitude, Tne movement there- fore, appears to be a minute oscillstion of the axis, which is pr. b by produced by some ehanges in the internal mass of our plonet. It was lately poiated out hat a heaping up of the sea to the extent of 500 cubic miles would give a perceptible vibration, and an ice accumulatien night rave a like effect.

A Sat Laxe.—The saltest body of water known is stated to be the Lake of Us amia, in Persia. The lake is 84 miles long, 24 miles wide and very shallow, and is at a height of more than 4000 feet above sea-level. Its northern shore is a glittering boarder of salt. Analysis shows that the water contains 22 per cent. of salt. a much larger proportion than exists in the Dead Sea. A very small species of jelly fish is the only living thing that can endure the salt.

Measurements of the sun's distance by the methods of different periods in astronomical science have given these results: Hipparchas, 150 B. C., found it to be 5,900,900 miles; Posidonius, 100 B. C., 62,750,000 miles ; Copernicus, 1543 A. D., 4,700,000; Kepler, 1628, 13 500,000 miles; Wendelin, 1640, 5%,- 600,000; Riceioli, 1650, 29,200,000 miles ;

The Tunnel Again. _ The Standard and Diggers News, pub- lished at Johannesburg, South African Re- pubiic, contaias the fullowing reference to the projected tunnel under the Straits : —

“* An engineering project is on foot to con- struct @ tunnel across the Str.its of North. umberland to Prince Edward Island, @dis- tance of six miles and a half, the cost of which is estimated at about £3,400,000. An English syndicate aas applied to the Dominion Government for the contracr, offering to cacry out the work for six per cent, on the Govern- ment bonds for 100 years. If the scheme goes through it will be ano‘her feather in the cep of Mr. Greathead, the celebrated civil engineer, whose plins of the scheme were made yearsago Mr. Greatheadis a Youth Afrivran—a native of Grabamstown—and has proved an honor to bis country.”

The G6 eat Republic and the Indians.

AN INGENIOUS CANARD ABOUT THR POPK.

A Paris despatch reports that the story of the Indian troubles at the West, as tcld by the cable from day tu day, is used by the French press in a way to cast the greatest amount of derision upon the gov- ernment of the republic. The sentiment of the public is entirely with the red men. The feeling is intensitied by the illustrated journals, that are making an especial fea- ture of the war, giving prominence to all horrible incidents, avd not being over par- ticular as to whether they occurred recent)y or at some remote period in American his- tory, or are altogether imaginary. Fuel has just been added to the flame by the publication of a letter addressed to the Pope, and sent to His Holiness through a missionary, signed by an Indian chief. The writer appeals to Leo XLIL. to act as medi- ator between his people and the great father at Washington, promising that in case his request is granted, His Holiness shall be propitiated by a sacrifice and the present of the skin of a ferocious buffalo slain by the hand of the hief. The Pope has granted the Indian’s r quest, and in due time President Harrison will receive from hima an autograph letter calling his atten- tion to the subject, and expressing the hope that some way will be found of miti- gating the cruelties alleged to have been practiced,

During the year 1889 there were 179 pessons lynched in the United States. During 1890 the number dropped to 126. This does not prove that there were Jess crimes for which the perpetrators ought to have been bung up, but rather that they had better lack in getting away.

Latest advices from Chili via Buenos Ayres confirm the statement that only 4 portion of the Chilian fleet is in revolt, and that the army continues to remain loyai to the government. The people are said to be unexcited. A state of seige has been proclaimed, and the government is taking energetic measures to repress the distarb- ance,
