SCIENCE AND ART. LIGHTING GAS WITH THE TIP OF THE FINGER.--- This feat anybody may perform. Let a person, in his shoes or slippers, walk briskly over a woollen carpet, scuffling his feet thereon, or stand upon a chair with its legs in four tumblers, to insulate it, and then be rubbed up and down the body a few times with a muff, by another person,and he will light his gas simply by touching his finger to the tube. It is only necessary to take the precaution not to touch anything or to be touched by anybody during the trial of the experiment. The stock of electricity acquired by the process we have described is discharged by contact with another object. A second person must turn the gas while the other fires it. PARIS OF OLD.—The germ of this Paris of the nineteenth century is the small island in the Seine, now known as La Cite, whereon stands the cathedral of Notre Dame. This was the Lutetia of the Romans ; a bridge over the Seine on either side, beyond the east end of the cathedral, connecting the city with the roads to the provinces north and south. At the other end of the island, the western, the kings of France fixed their habitation. There, too, the Parliament met, and the judges dispensed the law. The palace occupied more than a third of the whole area of the island, and bristled with turrets and spires. Fire devastated it in 1618, and again in 1776. The Palais de Justice was afterwards modernised, and at the present time the remains of the medieval building are comparatively few. Chief amongst them is the Sainte Chapelle. A NEW EFFECT IN WINDOWS.---I have lately found that by the following simple process a very beautiful effect may be produced in stained glass, adapted for ecclesiastical purposes, at a very moderate price. Take some pieces of flashed glass having a clear pattern cat upon them, and unite any two of different colour and pattern. The result will be a design of great beauty of form, richness of c o l our , and especially of a sparkling brilliancy, almost un rivalled in any other kind of glass. I have had some leaded up in diamonds, and the effect is so pleasing, i that they will probably be adopted n the chancel of a church which I built s ome years since, and about which my opinion had just been asked. If the makers of this sort of glass would manufacture it specially for the purpose, the result would be doubtless still , more satisfactory ; but with the ordinary specimens any of your readers may satisfy themselves of the truth of my statement. The kinds of patterns best adapted for the purpose are stars, crosses, circles, and generally good geometrical forms. I may add that the expense is very trifling, considering the effect pro duced, as the glass in single colours is manufactured at a very low price, and the process of combining the two, by which the rich effect is produced, costs com paratively nothing.---Correspondent of the Builder. • ST. PAUL'S (IRON) CHURCH AT KENSINGTON.—A temporary church has been fitted up in the grounds of the Vicarage at Kensington, and was opened on the 30th ult. by Archdeacon Sinclair. It affords accom modation for about 800 persons, and is the first tem porary church of iron put up in the metropolis. The edifice consists of a nave 72 feet in length, 30 feet wide, and 24 feet high to the ridge ; north and south aisles, 84 feet long, 13 feet in width and 17 feet high ; and a chancel of the sume width and height as the nave, and 24 feet in length. At the end of the north aisle, immediately adjoining the chancel, is the vestry, 12 feet square ; and the organ is placed in the correspond ing portion of the route aislh. The porch extends the width of the west end, and has a depth of 12 feet. The roof, internally, is opened, and of stained deal. The church is warmed by means of hot-water pipes, which traverse the walls. The seats are open, with panelled ends, and, like the roof, are of stained deal. The whole of the building is externally of corrugated gal vanized iron. It would not be difficult on a future oc casion to give a more ecclesiastical character to such a structure externally. The arrangement is, that ss. a year shall be paid for each sitting to the contractors, Messrs. Hemming and Co., of the Clift-house Works in the parish of Bow. If the proceeds of the seat rents do not suffice to meet the annual expenses, the deficiency is to be made up by the archdeacon : if a surplus is realised, it will be applied in aid of the fund for building a permanent edifice of stone. ADVICE TO CONSUMPTIVE PERSONS.—In some advice to consumptive persons Mr. Hall says :---" Eat 16 7 all you can digest, and exercise a great deal in the open air, to convert what you eat into pure healthful blood. Do not be afraid of out-door air, by day or night. Do not be afraid of sudden changes of weather; let no change, hot or cold, keep you in doors. If it is rainy weather the more need of your going out, be cause you eat as much upon a rainy day as upon a clear day ; and if you exercise less, that much more remains in the system of what ought to be thrown off by exercise, and some ill-result, some consequent symptom or ill-feeling is the certain issue. If it is cold out of doors, do not muffle your nose, eyes, and mouth in furs, veils, woollen comforters, and the like; nature has supplied you with the best inhaling regu lator, that is, two lips ; shut them before you step out of a warm room into the cold air, and keep them shut until you have walked briskly a few rods and quick ened the circulation a little; walk fast enough to keep off a feeling of chilliness, and taking cold will be im possible. What are the facts of the case P Look at railrbad conductors going out of hot air into the piercing cold of winter, and in again, every five or ten minutes, and yet they do not take cold oftener than others ; you will scarcely find a consumptive man in a thousand of them. It is wonderful how afraid con sumptive people, are of cold air, the very thing that would cure them, the only obstacle to a cure being that they do not get enough of it, especially if it is cold ; when it is known that the colder the purer it must be ; yet, if people cannot go to a hotter climate, they will make an artificial one, and imprison them selves for a whole winter in a warm room, with a tem perature not varying ten degrees in six months: all such people die, and yet we follow in their footsteps. If I were seriously ill of consumption I would live out of doors day and night except it was raining or mid winter, then I would sleep in an unplastered log house. My consumptive friends, you want pure air, not medicated air ; you want nuitrition, such as plenty of meat and bread will give, and those alone ; physic has no nutriment, gasping for air cannot cure you ; monkey capers in a gymnasium cannot cure you ; and stimulants cannot cure you. If you want to get well, go in for beef and out door air, and do not be deluded into the grave by advertisements and unreliable certi fiers." HOUSEHOLD _ECONOMY. SHREWSBURY CAKES.—Mix eight ounces of flour in half a pound of fresh butter, then add six ounces of finely powdered sugar, beat up a couple of eggs in two tablespoonfuls of rose water, to these put half an ounce of carraway seeds, and a stick of cinnamon reduced to powder, mix all the ingredients well together. Upon a well floured paste-board, spread the paste quarter of an inch thick, and divide it into cakes, with a knife or stamp, according to your taste, Bake in a quick oven. POTATO FRITTERS.—ParboiI half-a-dozen, or more if required, large, long-shaped potatoes, cut these into slices, about as thick as a crown piece, beat up a couple of eggs, with a tablespoonful of finely grated crumbs, and an equal quantity of the lean of ham, rasped small, dip each slice in this mixture, and fry in abundance of boiling lard, or Florence oil. The vegetable thus dressed is a capital accompaniment to a chop or steak, and is often served as a supper dish without reference to meat. APPLE PUFFS. Roast, very gradually, in an American or Dutch oven, as many rough-coated apples as required. Take out the pulp with a dessert spoon, taking care not to disturb the core. To. every four apples use the rind of one lemon, finely grated, add this, and sweeten with powdered sugar to your taste. Make a light puff paste with plenty o? eggs, and a quantity of sugar, properly mixed in it. Use up the pulp by a dessert spoonful at a time, surround it with paste, and be careful to make your puffs of a moderate size, bake in a quick oven, and serve either hot or cold. MUTTON HAM.—Hang for three or four days, according to the season of the year, a leg of four year old mutton, of some dozen pounds weight ; trim it so as to give it the shape; of a ham. Dissolve in a stewpan half a pound of common salt, half a pound of bay salt, half a pound of coarse Barbadoes sugar, and a couple of ounces of saltpetre, pour in a cupful of water, to prevent burning ; let all these boil, stirring it constantly that the ingredients may be properly mixed. Put the m u tt on into a deep dish, and pour he liquor boiling hot over it. Turn and baste it with the brine for five days, then add three ounces of ' . 0 . 4 015 1, ija sc e - Py l A r a7to , ,e A 11 heP e, ' A y 0 4 130;011, IP- o :11l I 161
