with that organ the nerves and muscles are affected

construction of two fifty ton guns have
been sent to the British war office, and
that the authorities of the royal gun
factories are ready to construct another

with equal bitterness by the latter, who

curing dyspepsia, biliousness, nervous
affections, and, in fact, a majority of

the more self indulgent portion of our

Iron Columns.

The announcement has recently been
made that Philadelphia manufacturer
is preparing a plan for column 1000
feet high, to be constructed entirely of
iron, in open work, from the summit of
which the grounds of the Centennial
Exposition are to be illuminated by
means of vast and magnificent Drum
mond light. 1t will be the loft1est struc--
ture in the world, though possessing,
probably, but little architectural beauty.
The tallest thing of the kind now in exs-
istence is said to be the iron open-worh.
central spire of the cathedral in Rouen,
France, and which is spoken of as a
peculiarly unsightly object. It was
erected few years ago, to replace the
beautiful spire destroyed many years
previously by lightning; and, though
the builders were determined to make it
few feet higher than the celebrated
Strasburg cathedral, their work is pro
nounced as positively hideous as that of
their predecessors was stately and su-
perb. Probably the next highest work
of mans hands, allowing st. Peters at
Rome to be unequaled, are two chin
neys of chemical works in Glasgow,
though each of these falls somewhat
short of 500 feet.

GRENADE, A New -SrrFF.-A sec
ondary product of the manufacture of
fuchsine, employed for some time in
dying wooden goods, under the name of
cerise, aniline, orseille, etc., has of late
contained impurities in the form of in
soluble foreign substances which has
suggested the effort to render it sufi-
GENTLY pure to warrant its use with the
finer fabrics. A dye-stuf named grenade
has been produced at the factory of
Knosp, in Stuttgart, which is said to give
pure garnet-brown, free from the dir5y
bluish-red tint of cerise and other sub
stances substituted for archil, and which
by combination with picric acid, turme,
ric, etc., can be made to give any shade
of brown. The brilliancy of the color
surpasses that of genuine archil. 1t is
applicable to wooden, cotton, silk, leather
and wooden articles, by use of different
mordants, and is practically cheaper than
cerise, by reason of low first costs and
absence of insoluble residue. DR.. Rel
mann predicts for it q permanent place
among dye-stuffs.

Portable Railways.

An English engineer has brought for
ward system of portable rails, which.
1t is claimed, secures to every carriage
its own tramway, and which NAV be
used with equal facility upon any ordi-
nary road, whether macadamized. paved
or asphalted. A vehicle constructed for
this purpose by the inventor, with the
portable rails attached, appears, on ex-
perl1nental trials made, to have exhib-
tied satisfactory results. The carriage
wheels employed for this purpose, which
are about twenty-one inches in diane
ter, and fixed to the axle beneath the
springs in the ordinary way. run upon
what may be termed the inside of the
tires of second pair of wheels of s11ffi-
clent size to permit the small wheels to
rotate between the tires and nayes of
the large ones. This large tire. which
forms the portable railway, is made up
of a series of long and short segments.

PooO VI a AdAHdg, rs constantly pass
ing around the periphery of the large
wheel to regain its position in front of
the running wheel.
One peculiar advantage characterizing
this invention is stated to be that the
external appearance of the carriage is
not at all altered, an objection which
has done much to prevent the introduce
tor. OF endless railways generally and
it is believed that the railway here de-
scribed will meet an important desidera-
tum IN those instances, SO frequent
where the traffic is insufficient for per-
nanent rallway.-,S. Louis Republic1tn.
