To AVOID Cot.os.—'I‘he best way to avoid catching cold is to nceiistom yourself to the rim of -pongin ' d water every morning on that getting out of bed. It should be followed with a good deal of rubbing with I dry towel. It has considerable effect in ivingtanetothe skin. and maintaining a proper action in it, rtndtbas proves a IlIft9‘lIllftI‘ the injurious influence of cold and sudden changes of teitrperuture.

A reci rocating beam attached to an ordinary crank, with Iy-wheel of about fovr feet in diameter. is fitted at each end with I cylindrical piece of the fibre, insulated by a plate of glass. Near the frame is I small galvanic battery. Operations are begun giving a shock from this battery to one of the pieces of fibre, whic immediately and violently contracts, drawing the beam down that side, and of course communicating motion to the c.niik and fly- cel. So soon as the centre lnts been turned, another shock gi- ven to tlieo site piece of fibre conliitues the motion; and the shocks being alternately repeated, the fly-wheel soon gains an enormous speed.--./Irc tlect. 6 U‘ 33"‘< fttl golden-coloured scales, very soft and glossy to the touch, readi- ly rubbed between the fingers, and when the colour is brought out by a little friction. having it fine golden metallic lustre; this what is called .Mouu'c Gold, and is extensively used for bronzing, and by j-ipanners for gt'I.ling oriianierite on teu—tra s and other wares;—so that here, as in other things, ‘ it is not all gold that glitters.‘ ' 213:3 S.u.'t_' iiv .\IAivUv'sc'rt:tu:s.—-'I‘lio uses of salt in ittrtnufaclures are various. ltenters into the 'coitipo-tition of s.-il-.-imitioiiiac,——u ll‘|9‘!.—0fuxyiiittriate of lyiiio.-of corro.-rive sabliiii:ite,—-ofti'liiu- ber’s nnit I‘l[l§l)llI itiilt-,—tiiid of p:tiiiter'I patent yellow,—rtnd it is used in b|eiicliing,—in glazing eartltware,—iii assaying inetitls,—in case-liarderiiiig steel, aiip in rendering iroa malleab e. 2--- VEGETABLE SIRPli‘.N’l‘.—.\cc0|'dlt1‘ to some Italian journals, ‘ it new organized being has been discovered in the interior of Africa, which scents to fonti an iriiriiedi.it.i link between vegetable art ani- mal life.

A correspondent of the London 'I'iincs, adopting the signature of ‘ An liye to the Potatoes.’ ‘ in the c -arse of some iidsiiirrtble observations on this subject, makes the ’ following remarks :— ‘ 'l‘lin potatoes .-igain show tinmistiikable symptoms of disease- tlie leztves and stemsa peariiig withered and burnt, and these symp- toms were developed iiiiriiediately after the great ttiuedevstovni ‘riday week last-——tliose plants alone escaping which were Indet- walls. The same effect’ was pets some potatoes of my own. apparently by the same cause, sv ile resiilirig in Guernsey sortie few years back; and the recent resalt tends to coiilirrii me in an tullllltill which I wits than ed to adopt. owing to the di.-vclopinent ofthe disease appearing to be immedi- ately consequctit upon the liberation of ti large amount of atmos- « plieiic electricity, that the potato rot is dire to theformatiea of ozone, which is an alto-tropic or electric and more Icuve for: oxygen. ‘ Now, as the potato disease has been geherally found to be the precursor of cholera, some of our chemical phtl-vaophere may be led to put the ozone theory (at least, so far as regards the disease) to the test ofexperimeiit. Surely nothing would be IIIIR rli:ii-i to nscertiiin the influence of an atmosphere of caries Ipee I potato plant; and if it could be shown that all the symptoms of the disease cati be thus artificially ruduced, at least we should have advanced one ate towards I e discovery of I remedy for it, and may be, afterwards, for that more terrible eetlarge. the cholera. ' Ciitarrlt.-tl complains I find, have been very I genera°.::t':Ig III’ e! the sub- Professor Si.-hoiibein, to whom we owe the discover stance or principle itself, liris placed beyond I doubt.
