GOLDEN hair fluids have recently been
the subject of continued investigation by
an English chemist, who, after q careful
analysis, asserts that they are composed
Of dilute nitric and muriatic acids, with
traces, in some instances, of sulphuric
acid. Though the proprietors of these
fluids announce that the preparations are
harmless, yet instances have been reported
of ladies being injured by drops Of the
hair-dye falling on their shoulders. The
agent to effect the change in the color of
the hair is the nitric acid, aided by the
chlorine evolved by the decomposition OF
the mufiatic acid. .AAnserican artisan. ~
THERE is found on the coast of British
Columbia, Russian America, and Van
couver's Island little fish, not larger
than a. snelt, clad in glittering armor,
winch is fat almost beyond conception.
Its scientific name Sdln.os Pttcifcus-popu-
larly is called the candle fish. 1t is next
to impossible to .broh or fry them, for they
melt completely into oil. They, are so
marvelously fat that the natives use them
for lighting their lodges. For this pur-
poseathe dried fish are perforated from
head to tail by piece of rush pith by
means of long needle made of hard
wood The wick is then lighted, and the
fish burns steadily, with sufficiently good
light to read by. 81 a.;,.o,-.-.. >, q.
