pertinent, to say that perhaps the American

Among the numerous experiments
which may be made with Ruhmkorff s
machine, there is y remarkable one imag
ined by M. Chautard. professor of natural
| philosophy at Nancy. A quantity Of
flowers of sulphur is mixed with small
proportion of IRON filings, or better still
with iron reduced by hydrogen, in which
case it is in quite an impallible state; zinc
and copper filing may also be added In
small duantitiesr The mixture which
must be as complete as possible, is then
thrown on pane of glass or dry brick
so as to form heap two or three cent?
metres in height, and much longer than it
| it is broad. If the ends of the wires OF
| Ruhmkorff s machine be now inserted in
| to the heap, SO as to be- two OF thee cent?
metres distance from each, other, and the
current made to pass through, a violent
explosion of the mass takes place, sort
Of crater is formed, whence magnificent
sheaves of fire will be seen to ISSUE
much resembling the bouquet of fireworks
and, like it, displaying different Ecolors

M. G. Bergeron, Director Of the West
ern Swiss railways, has obtained conces
sion from the Canton de Vaud to connect
the railway station and the Place st. Fran
co.'s, at Lausanne, Switzerland, by means
of pneumatic railway.
The same engineer has lately presented
to the British Association at Nottingham
the plans for a pneumatic railroad over the
Alps, by the Simplon Pass, commencing III
the Saline Valley on the Swiss SIDE ano
the Diveria Valley on the italian side. The
distance is 16 miles. NJ. Bergeron est
mates the total pynpnSa' at "A 900 600. The
incline on the Italian side would be ! IN
Ia; on the Swiss side | i'm. 81. He pro
noses a tube large enough to receive car
riages of the size of an ordinary omnibus
The highest point to be reached Is 6,OOO teet
above the level OF the sea- The tube IS to
be cut in the form of gallery in the side
of the precipice, the debris being allowed
to fall into the torrent below. The air cur
rent is to be produced by means OF water
wheels for which the streams furnish abun
dant power. This is by far the cheapest
plan yet proposed for effecting the pass
I age of the Alps by railroad. Its economy
is principally due to the small area OF the
proposed tunnel. The working expenses
| would be very light.
Even in France they do not manage the
