A NEW PAINT-A new economical paint
with the oxi-chloride of zinc has just been
discovered. 1t may be made in two ways.
The first is by taking chloride of zine, pre-
pared by the ordinary process, and free of
acid, concentrating the solution, so that
when cold it marks ffty-eight degrees
Beaume Then prepare solution contain
ing 1 I-2 pounds of carbonate of soda for
every 8 gallons, and mix the two solutions
in the proportion of pints of the first for
8 gallons Of the second. This liquid is mixed
with the white of zinc to form a paint of
ordinary consistence, which is to be applied
Immediately. One equivalent IF chloride of
zinc for one equivalent OF oxyd is found, by
second method Of making this paint is by
using the sulphate of Zine. In this case, 1t
must be a solution marking 40 degrees
Beaume, adding, for every gallon, l ounce
of borate of soda. These solutions may be
kept for quite length Of time, but the
white Of zinc must be added only when the
paint Is to be used, and then a quantity only
sufficient to last one hour is to be prepared.
The white which it gives is very fneS it
colors as well as oil painting; it is very ad-
hesiye and solid its price is half that of the
oxyd Of zinc; it is inodOrous and may be
used on wood, iron, or cloth. 1t does not,
however, mix with coloring matters, and
must be applied only as white paint.

MEASURING IIGIIrNING.-The length of a
uash OF lightning is generally greatly under
estimated. The longest known was measured
by NJ F. Petit, at Toulouse. This flash was
ten and a half miles long. Arago once
measured a series which averaged from seven
to eight miles in length. The long interval
ever remarked between a fash and report
was seventy-two seconds, which would cor
respond with a district of fourteen miles.
Direct researches have shown that storm
Is seldom heard at a greater distance than
from seven to ten miles, while the average
are barely heard over four or five miles off
This fact is more curious as cannon NAV
be heard double or treble that distance and

TIE Fires Of St. Elmo are quite distinct
in character from globular lightning. They
have not in a single Instance, so far as we
know, caused any injury whatever, and, in
fact, they are hailed by seanen with joy, as
tokens that the dangers of tempest are
certainly past. The singular notion prevails
that st. Elmo's fires are tangible objects, and
Arago quotes an amusing account from tho
Memories de Forbin," in which this
strange view is presented in all its naiUe
simplicity. 1t was in 1896, and the ship
approaching the Belearic Isles, when ''dur-
ing the night" says Forbin, 1.-THE weather
became suddenly dark, accompanied with
dreadful thunder and lightning. Fearing
the violence Of an impending tcmpcstuous
wind, L had all the sails furled. We saw
about the ship more than thirty fires of St.
Elmo. One, in particular, at the mainmast
head, was more than foot and a half high.
Se1t a sailor to .fctch 1t doion When the
man was aloit, he called out that the flame

oIL-PAINTs.-Mr. j. Argall, mining en-
gineer, of Adderbury, proposes to give body
and opacity to paint by using as a basis the
natural mineral carbonate of baryta aud
zinc, or native zinc ore, to which carbonate
of baryta is afterward added. The zinc ore
or the baryta and zinc mineral is subjected
TO roasting process. The required color
or shade of color is given to the paint by
the addition of calcined ore of lead tin zinc
copper, iron, or manganese, to the compound
or mixture. By the use of baryta a peculiar
glossy surface is given to the paint, and the
1aryta also effects such rapid drying of the
paint that the use Of ordinary dryers is rem
dered unnecessary.

CURIOUS PROPERTY OF TAKTARIC ACID
NJ. Pasteur, in the course of his investiga-
uons, has noticed a curious splitting of
racemIc acid into TWO tartaric acids, identi-
cal as to their composition, but one of which
rotates the plane Of polarization to the right.
and the other to the left: NJ. Bertholdy has
recently made some interesting researches
into this subject, with regard to the quantity
OF heat evolved. He finds that the right
acid dissolved in water alisorbs ;. 275. and
the left acid; 3'27O calorific units: Racemic
acId, on the other hand, absorbs 5.42O units
The combination of this same acid with two
equivalents of water disengages 1900 units.
1t results that the solution of this hydrate
IN water represents movement of heat
equal to the difference of the two preceding
Numbers, or 1880 units Now it is curious
to note that this last exactly comedies with
the number recently found by NJ. Desains
as representing the heat of melting ice. and
hence the odd result may be stated; that if
solid tartarlc acid were united with solid
water, or ice, there would be no disengage-
ment of heat.
