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 colour,
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 some 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 mutton 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
