rub off, or soil the fingers. This coat is
~sulphuret of mercury. Here. therefore,
is a suggestion which may be turned TO
account by enterprising artists. Let them
melt sulphur, and cast it into statuettes,
f~riezes, mouIdings, flowers, and so forth,
expose them to vapour of mercury, and
they will obtain a number of articles all
wearing a metallic appearance, which
NAV he found useful for ornamental pur-
poses. The French chemist, taking a wide
view of the subject, asks, whether sulphur.
which is at times found in the atmos-
phere, may not play an important part
in neutraIising the effects of noisome
vapours, or the deleterious miasm which
rises from marshes and the banks of ri
vers in hot countries. And may we not
ask, whether it will ever be found pos
sibIe to stay the progress OF an epidemic
by flooding the atmosphere with fumes
of sulphur?
A mechanician in the United States
has made experiments with a view TO
determine the cost at which electric
light eau be produced, and to compare 1T
with that Of other lights. He finds that
it cost less to produce Il strong electric
light than a weak one: that with u
thousand cells of an ordinary Groves bat
terry he can get "A light equal 10 some
what more than five thousand candles,
and the cost of these thousand cells tor
one hour would be about five gulneas and
a half. With n Smee's battery, the cost
would be less while with a thermo-elec-
trio battery, as much electricity may be
developed from one pound OF coal as
would give a light equal to one hundred
and forty-four candles. But it the total
energy in one pound of pure carbon were
converted into Ii light, 1t would be equlva-
lent to one candle burning for seventeen
months. The gas from one pound OF
coal would give a light equal to thai OF a
candle for fifteen hours; one pound oil
gas will give a similar light for seventy
five hours. The conclusion drawn IS,
that in our ordinary methods OF gas
lighting we utilise less than one per cent.
Of the energy stored in the coal; and
that 'we may reasonably expect that
electricity, as developed by the lhermo-
electric battery, the magneto-electrlc ma
chine. or some still more efficient appara-
tus,' will ere long open to us the max
imum of artificial light at the minimum
of cost.

For such o statue, Science may surely

of the railways of The Empire, one-Slxth
of the mileage is in Scotland, and pro-
duces one-ninth of the gross revenue;
Ireland, with one-seventh of the mileage,
produces not more than one-twentleth
Of the revenue. Scotland has one mile
of railway for every 1860 of her popuIa-
ton England, one for every 1857 Ire
land. one mile only for every $3.50 per-
sons. To manage or rather mlSmanage,
the two thousand miles of railway In Ire
land, there are from thirty to forty differ
ent boards of directors, some OF them
with about twenty-five miles of railway

more to send a parcel from Dublin to
Armagh than from London to Belfast!
The author of the paper, Mr.. r. f. Fair

tons as to Improvements and economy
in rolling-stock, and better methods IN
the management of trains, OF which we
hope to give an account on a future occa-
sion. Meanwhile, it may be stated as a
general proposition, that with proper
management, railways may become as
respectable and profitable as they are

Among the interesting particulars therein
contained, the following, which sheWs
that as the water in a port is deepened'
so does the revenue increase, is worth
notice. In 1900, when the depth of the
Clyde at Glasgow was three feet only at
Underwater, the annual revenue OF the
mort was not more than L3320. The
depth was increased to twelve feet In
1895. and the revenue amounted to
L.s3e7. In 1868, the depth was twenty
w feet, and the revenue L.11s,o63,
which in 1867 had grown to L.1Sl,s62.

may learn from this how m'1mate is the
connection between deep water and pros
perity.
Another fact mentioned on the same
occ rsion should be interesting TO all who
drink water. Loeb Katrine supplies to
Glasgow daily 81, 200, 900 gallons of wa
ter perhaps the purest in Scotland !; 1t
is nine times purer than that supplied to
London; aud yet The people Of Glasgow
swallow every year one thousand tons OF
foreign matter contained IN the water OF

1t is good news to'be told, on the au-
thority of the Metropolitan Board of
Works, that the bIamabIe delay which

1t is IA familiar experiment with an
electromagnetic to lay a sheet of paper
over the poles of the magnet, and sprln-
kle iron filings thereon, for the purpose
Of watching the curious figures ana
curves which they form under The lnt1u-
ence Of the magnetism. The hgufrs
thus produced are known as magnetic
phantoms,' and a wish has often been
expressed that they could be rendered
permanent the wish may now be reaIls-
ed by two methods recently suggested.
One is to coat the paper with wax or
stearine, and when the phantomS are
formed, to soften the coat by holding
over it a no. iron, when the filings sink,
and become firmly imbedded as the coat
ing cooIs. The other is to lmpregnate
sheets of paper with ferroryanlde of po-
tassium, and t. develop the phantoms
with "a fine kind of magnetic iron sand
found in Norway. When developed
hydrochIoric gas is passed over them tor
a few seconds; the sand is then shaken
off, the paper is washed IN water, and
presently the whole form and details of
the phantom are seen permanently fl ed
by small blue dots and circles, which re-
present the grains of sand. The sheets
thus prepared can be bound in a book,
and kept for reference, which, since phan-
toms have ceased 10 be mere curloSltleS,
is important. 1t is now known that they.
reveal to the operator the condition OF
the poles of the magnet with which ne
has been working.
