SCIENTIFIC NOTES.

M. Geymet has succeeded in fixing
photographs on porcelain and enamel, by
means OF heat estimated at 1900 de-
grees f.
-Bromine is said to be nearly as good a
test for starch as iodine, and tannic acid
to be better than iodine in some instances.
Some of the grecn-kd gloves which are
now worn are said to be dyed with an arse
mic color, which produces on the hands an
eruption very difficult to cure.
1t has recently been discovered that
melted steel, as well as melted platinum,
viii dissociate the elements of water. The
experiment should be performed with cau-
ton, as an explosion is often produced by
the ignition of the liberated gasses.
A special commission of the French
Academy of Sciences pronounces hypo-
nitrous acid the most efiicacious known dis
infectant, but it is exceedingly dangerous
to health. Carbolic acid is cheaper, and
nearly as eiflcacious. 1t may be mixed
with three times its volume of sand or
sawdust, or with twenty-five or thirty vol
umes of water, to sprinkle floors and bed
ding.
DIR. j. II. Salisbury, of Cleveland, has
been studying rock sculptures found in va
rious parts OF Ohio, which he thinks indica-
tive OF something higher than the present
symbolical or picture writing of the Indians.
He finds that they have many characters
in common with the Oriental sign-writing
or hieroglyphic alphabets, and specially
notes the resemblance to birdtrack char
acter which was used by the Chinese in
their syllable-alphabet some eight centuries
before Christ.
Professor Nordenskjold states that the
masses of meteoric iron brought from
Greenland by the recent Swedish expedi-
ton seem to have formed the principal
masses of an enormous meteoric fall OF
meiocene date, extending over an area OF
some two hundred square miles. The iron
appears to be free from silicates. Professor
Ramsey thinks the masses may be of tellu-
ric origin.
The Panama pearl fisheries are now
carried on by negroes, whose villages re-
semble those OF Western Africa. The
value of the fisheries is about $3.50, 900 a
year, but there are signs of exhaustion, in
consequence of the use of diving machines.
1t is proposed to regulate the fisheries by
law, experiments having shown that after
two years repose the crop is largely in
creased.
Prof. p. L. Chase's observations upon
the frequency of anti-cyclonic storms have
been zorro borated by the experience of the

instance, the Chinese typhoon of September

THE TARIFF ON SILK
Spirited Protest of the Silk Viewers Against
its Reduction.

Spirited Protest of the Silk Viewers Against
its Reduction.
AT recent meeting of silk weavers,
held in New York, delegates from the
shops at Patterson, Newark, Greenpoint,
and other places, submitted to the chair
man petitions against the proposed reduc-
ton OF the tariff on silk, to be forwarded by
him to Washington early this week. After
some preliminary business, Mr.. Hassen-
buhler, the president, delivered an address,
in which he said:
''It seems to me that the liberal policy
and the noble one upon which this govern
ment is based should lead it to do all in its
power to call to our shores all the skilled
and useful labor which can be obtained
from Europe. The labor of the Swiss in
the two directions of matchmaking and
silk-weaving has done more to enrich
Switzerland than any other power in that
nation. During the past nine years many
of the most slsilllul of the Swiss operatives
in the latter branch of industry have emf
grated to these shores to work at their
trade, preferring to live in this coun-
try, where much larger liberty and
freedom prevail than in their own
country, and where, when they
shall be enabled by hard industry to lay
by some money for their declining years,
no governmental tax or exactions can COM
pei them, as at home, to yield up contin-
ual disbursement to tax-gatherers and as
SCISSORS. 1t seems to me that this skill is
part of the treasure of our adopted coun-
try. We think America cannot afford to
despite it. While England and other ma
lions are pouring i'll their hordes of con-
victs, ticket-of-leaye men, and vagabonds
whom they cannot control, the intelligence
and industry which the new developments
of this nation are calling to its shores
should not be ignored or sent adrift.
''The result of the reduction of the tariff
on imported silks will be no more disastrous
to us than to our adopted country. With
out unduly estimating the value of our
skill, it is safe to say that the nation will
lose millions of money by the passage of
the proposed act. Gentlemen, | am glad
to learn that our memorial to Congress will
contain nearly 10000 signatures and there
is now an opportunity afforded all those
who have not affixed their signatures to the
petition to do so. Our opponents, as l
learn, have, after making Herculean efforts,
succeeded in obtaining only 1900 names.
If the rule regarding majorities shall pre-
vail our cause is assured. We must, how
ever, not depend on that, but each one of
us must do all that in him lies to prevent
the passage of the proposed reduction"
