RESTORING BURNED SrEEL-Mr. j. L. Davis an
nounces TO The London Iron what he calls a simple
and eficacous plan Of restoring to steel which has
once been burned it's usual valuable qualities, claim
ing that this can be accomplished by the use Of
fluid which leaves scarcely anything to be desired on
the score of cheapness. The process consists in
the use of resin oil. with which is Intimately
mixed about ne-fourth of its weight of the residue
of maritime stills Cbiseis that have become useless
may thus be restored and made valuable as eyer.
The burned steel must be heated red-hot then
plunged into the liquid for few seconds. then re-
heated and cooled IN the ordinary way, when the
steel Is said to be perfectly restored.
New MODE OF FORMING OzONE.-Brodie, follow
ing up the line of his other recent Investigations
mon electrolytic action, has tested the elect OF
electricity upon carbonie acid gas. This gas, he
finds is partially decomposed into carbonc OXIDE
and free oxygen part Of the latter assuming the
form of ozone The best results were obtained when
dry rapid current Of the was acted upon IN the
induction tube by electricity of feeble tension and
at n low Temperature. Under such circumstances,
about three fourths of the oxygen set free was trans
formed into ozone. In one series or nine expert.
ments however, this limit was exceeded from 100
to Sj5 per cent of the oxygen eliminated oehg con
verted into alloropic modification III VIII az one
be seen that the electricity acts upon oxygen IN the
nascent state in order to produce such an astohlsh-
ing proportion OF ozone.
| WINE MADE WITH YEAsT.-According to Erckmann
yeast-wine is prepared as follows: 20! gallons OF
| thick Yeast are stirred with SO gallons OF water,
solution of 1G5 pounds of potato sugar and Al
pounds of tartaric acid in 1872 gallons OF water,
having temperature of 100 to lS3, are added, ana
the whole is femented at GO to ~, as rule about
! two to three weeks, and then decanted into fresh
casks and half gallon of 80 per cent alcohol, free
from fuse-oi and 81 ounces of tannin are added TO
each 26i gallons After standing four weeks &c be
! comes clear and is dccanted into fresh suphurized
| casks and if necessary, clarified in the usual way
with singlass. The color may be, deepened by SUI
par-colOr and the quality improved by the addition
of glycerine and still more by addition OF Ialslns
| the latter freed from stems being crushed Dolled
a quarter of an hour, and added to the fermenung
| wine The acidity of the product should reach 90
per cent to which il may be brought, II necessary
| by the addition of tartaric acid.
| EFFECT OF THE ADDITION OF FAT TO RAW FEED
FOR SHEEP-Experiments upon sheep by Hofmelster
of the Dresden experimental station afford the fol-
| lowing conclusions: a. Fat incorporated with the
raw feed was without effect upon the digestibility
of the raw fiber. 2.) dose Of threequarters of
pound of fat to 600 pounds live weight and IS TO 20
pounds of organic matter in the feed increased de-
cdedly the digestibilitv of the organic matter OF
the feed in general, and especially of the protein
matter of the raw feed and of the neutrality-suspicious.
extractve matter. 49, This increased digestibility
of the nutrtive matter only true OF clover hay,
and not of meadow grass. a. 1t appeared on cal
culation that clover hay, which loses, proved
eperimentaly in digestibility by being stored for
month, and for a longer time. cannot then be
restored to its normal condition, in this respect by
the addition Of oil the protein matter being rem
dered az digesbe as in wellcured hay, but the non
heterogeneous extractive matter remaining ten per
cent less digestible. o. The oil added seemed in the
highest degree digestible. 6l The digestibity Of
raw feed clover hay. is, however not materially
heightened by the addition OF oil that 1t would pay
to add il for this purpose but since fresh clover hay
possesses almost as high degree of digestibility
land in some cases higher than old hay treated
with oil it is decidedly advisable not to store such
hay longer than necessary before feeding it, a. In
crease of the dose OF salt from 9b4 grains to 1928
grains per 1000 pounds OF weight OF the sheep
seemed Injurious TO the digestion of nntrtivo mat
TEL while it caused a larger consumption of feed.
o. better effect of the feed, indicated

of the animals on the administration of oil sa lit,
