CURIOUS AND SCIENTIFIC.

Gun cotton, camphoT and castor oil
are the materials out of which it is
said that an excellent substitute for
natural ivory can be made by a new
chemical method described ut q late
meeting of the Lyceum Of National
History.
If a person in a house on fire will
have presence of mind tOapply damp
cloth or handkerchief TO his mouth
and nOstrils, he can effect a passage
through the densest smoke. but the
surest way would be to envelOp the
head and face completely in a damp
cloth.
Coal dust furnaces are coming into
use in Wales and elsewhere. Their
introduction has led TO an increase in
the price of small coal in Great Bri-
tain. This small coal is also used in
the manufacture of patent fuel, which
consists Of coal-dust agglOmerated by
pitch.
A German has succeeded in prOduc-
ing a metallic bronze of a blue color,
the method of preparing which has
hitherto been altogether unknown.
He makes use of an alloy consisting
of one hundred parts of pure tin three
parts of antimOny, and One-sixth part
of copper.
The process of electro plating with
Diekel is being applied to many pur-
poses for which siiver-pIating, on ac-
count Of its expense and liability to
tarnish, is inadmissibIe. Among these
is the covering of the exposed portion
of steam engines with cheap, bright,
and nnn-coTrOdiDg surface.
One OF the latest achievements Of
science is feeling a patients pulse by
telegraph. An invalid being in
Washington, desired to consult his
own physician in New York. The
beats Of the pulse were transmitted by
doctor with one hand on the patients
wrists and the other one on the tcle-
graph key.
The highest point ever attained by
any balloon traveller, namely, seven
miles, was reached by BTr. james
GlaisheT, the English ierOnaut, in an
ascent made from WOlveThampfon1, on

height Mr.. GlaisheF became insensible
and Mr.. COxwell, his companion, was
very nearly so.
The "WoOlwich infant,O as the
English call the great thirty-five ton
gun lately made at NVOoIWich, con-
SAStS Ot no less tnaH SIX separate pieces
combined, 1t Is thought, in such a
manner as to make the weapon one
OF the most formidable pieces of ord
nance in existence. It's, however, by
no means the largest or heaviest.
A curious movement Of the mag
netic needle was noticed by an OBJ
server in Italy during an eclipse OF the
sun in December last. The needle
followed its usual course until the
beginning OF the eclipse. It then re-
traced its steps till theinstant of totaii-
ty, and Immediately afterward began
to move westward until it had re-
gained the exact position il occupied
when the eclipse commenced.

COnsumptiOn-Tho MIR Cure.


Some years ago physicians had 20
habit of recommending every cor
sHmpSive patient to take cod-livrr
oil. The incredible mastiness of the
dose must have constituted its pecu-
liar merit; for, as n matter OF fact,
any result accomplished by cod liver
oil would have been attained by ilrr
patient, had cream instead or oil
been prescribed. Suddenly This idea
seems to have dawned upon H..
medical faculty. As a consequence.
we now have the "milk cure" au
nounced as a specific for consump-
ton. Patients WHO formerly pul
their trust in cod-iiyers, arc now
told that the COW is their only hope.
They are made to drink vast quaati-
ties Of pure milk, instead OF FREQUENT
doses of the unspeakably vic cod
liver oil. The effect is all that can
lie desired. The patient WHO tries
the milk cure finds himself rapidly
growing fat, and il is also said fhat
he becomes gentle, chiid-Iikc. and
bland in his demeanor. The advap-
tages of the milk-cure Will doubles
make it extremely popular among
those who have tried in vain TO swal-
low cod-liver oil.

Our Deserts.

-.L
The traveller In passing along the
railroad, throughout our State, Is very
forcibly impressed with the Idea that
he is surrounded by a vast desert, in
terestlng only for the sublimity Of its
monotony, the grandness Of Its extent
and its utter desolation. With this
idea and these Impressions he writes to
his friends and the press. The people
generally abroad, when you speak to
them about tho resources OF Nevada,
shrug their shoulders and look with q
vacant state rs II contemplating death
from starvation and thirst upon the
arid plains Of the Great Desert. Our
mineral wealth IL now generally con-
coded, but many are deferred from
coming and investing, oven In our rich
mines, from an instructive dread and
fear OF the poisonous reptiles and In
sects supposed to live and swarm In
the God-forsaken country, The press
of the State, perhaps, has been derelict
in duty in not placing Dur resources
before the outside world more ear-
nestly and persistently, In this respect
Il mining interests have not suffered.
But few indeed are aware, perhaps, Of
our immense agricultural resources, In
all its branches. We have the finest
climate In the world. Wherever water
can be had for irrigation, all kinds Of
crops a be raised In abundance. Mil
lIois of acres, now considered worth
lest, will DO cultivated and supplied
with water from artesian wells. Be-
sides our mountains and valleys are
covered with the most nutritious
grasses and white sage. on which cattle
fatten Summer and Winter. Califor-
mia, will, In a short time, receive Its
supplies of becf chiefly from Nevada.
In former years,lw have drawn vi
supplies of beef from California, Orc
gon and Texas, using for our own con-
sumption about 10000 head annually.
From this time on we will raise our
own cattle and have a surplus In a few
years, and instead Of importing large
bands from abroad we will carry on q
lucrative aud extensive business In ex-
porting to California and other mar
kets.-Hunboldt Register.
