Tup INV HypRocARBoN GAs.--Expe-
r;ments have recently been made in
ENGLAND on the Illuminating powers OF
a new hydrocarbon gas, produced by
what is known as Mr.. Ruck's process.
The heating gas is almost pure hydro
oen. obtained by passing steam through
a horseshoe-shaped tube that goes
through the red heat of fierce coke
furnace. In this state the gas is used
for all purposes where heat without
light is required, as, for instance, for
oss stoves of whatever kind, or for
boiling water and generating steam.
When REQUIRED to he used for lighting
purposes. this heating gas is made to
bubble through a reservoir containing
rectified petroleum, of specific gravity
of about O.68. 1t then passes at once
into the pipes for circulation and con-
sumption. and issues from these burn
ers a very excellent gas, equal in illu,
minating power to sixteen and half
candles. with consumption of five Gu
bic feet an hour in ali Argand burner.
The experiments on the power OF this
gas for both heating and lighting pur-
poses are said to have been thord WI
satisfactory, and the cost to b
much less than that of coal ga

eral pieces Of artillery. The phenome-
non seems to have been confined to the
Rue de Ia Monnaie !; where, at No. 81,
q young girl who was standing on the
threshold Of her dwelling saw . fiery
globe, of the size of an orange, fall at
her feet, then roll along the street and
disappear. She experienced q violent
shock, causing . trembling that did not
cease until the following day. The pins
in her hair were torn away, % well -
all the other metal articles she had
about her person. Her father, who was
leaning against the iron bars Of . win
dow of the next house, was paralyzed
for few seconds, and did not recover
from the commotion for several days.
At No. "a, same street, in the "Elec-
tion-house," - il il called, the electric
fluid fell on turret behind the house,
pierced . hole through the weather
cock, slid down the roof along the zinc
which covered il, got inside by loosening

ARSENIC IN WALL-PAPER.-The poiso-
nous effects upon the air of rooms of
srsenical pigments on wallpaper have
been generally ascribed to the inhala-
ton Of the dust, which was found to
contain arsenic and copper, but cases of
arsenical poisoning of this kind have
occurred in which, on account of the
moisture still present in the wall and
the effeotual fixing If the colors, this
explanation will not answer. Upon
these q recent series of experiments by
Fleck throws some light. Air in glass
receivers was subjected to the action of
Schweinfurth green and arsenious acid
BY simply placing these substances be-
meath some bodies in o moist condition.
and by applying them as a coating to
others, with and without paper, potato
and wheat starch being employed as
pastee. After from eight days to three
weeks, in different cases, the presence of
arseniureted hydrogen in the air was
Enthusiastically revealed by tests, and left
ne doubt that cases of chronic arsenical
poisoning must be attributed not only
to the mechanical mixture of arsenical
compounds with the air of rooms in the
form of dust, but also to the presence
of this gas, resulting from the decompo-
sition of free arsenious acid in Schwein-
furth green. 1t was also found that the
development of the gas is favored by
moisture in the air and the presence Of
organic matter. especially that in the
paste. Mould appeared on the paper in
some cases, showing that arsenic is not
q preventative of its formation, as often
stated.

| His love for truth in science was only
equalled by his antipsthy TO shams and false
hood. In the rare instances where ne
| thought imposition was practiced, it called
forth from him fierce wrath that astonishsd
those who had only seen the gentler side OF
mis- nature. Some friends made an arrange
ment when noted exhibition of +" spiritual
lists " was in progress, to have scientlnc
investigation of the alleged Phenomena
and invited Prof. Agassiz to make one OF the
party. He turned his back upon his friends,
pointing them to the open door in almost
speechless anger, and only adverted to 1t
afterward in expressions of surprise that
anybody who knew him should insult him by
asking him thus to waste his time.
A publishing firm wrote to him urging
him to write a book on natural history for
use in schools, and offering him a large Pc
cuniary inducement. {" wrote them, said
he, and his eyes sparkled with indignation,
90 that | was not the man to do this sort OF
work. And told them; too, that the less OF
this work was done, the better. 1t is not
school books that We want, it is students.
The book of nature is always open. All that

siz may be better appreciated when the fact
is mentioned that the salary of his professor
