SCIENTIFIC.

The Electric Lighf.-Dr. Wilde, of the
Academy of Sciences of St Peters
burgh, and Director of the Central
Physical Observatory. has recently
made report to the Academy upOn
the mode of producing the electric liRnt
proposed by NJ. Ladiguin, of that city.
and mentioned on page 225 OF the Sci
ENTIFIC AMERICAN, present volume.
Since the discovery of the vOltaic are
in 1921 by Davy, many attempts have
been made to utilize it practically for IL
Elimination. But in spite OF the regula
tors devised for the purpose, il still re-
mains variable and incOnstant: being
too intense, used at single point, il IL
yet incapable of division. Since the
improved magnetic-electrO machines
have reduced the cost of the electric
light TO only one third that OF coal gas,
these efforts to utilize it have redou-
bled. And, as a result. NJ. Ladiguin
has made an invention which, In very
simple way, resolves both problems.
rendering the light steady, and at the
same time capable of division. Ii has
long been known that the electric light
proper comes from the intensely heaIed
carbOns which the current traversee
the resistance of the air between them
of a platinum wire placed in circuit
causes it to he highly heated : but the
light thus obtained, though constant
and entirely controllable, is too feeble
for practical use. NJ. Ladiguin has
conceived the idea OF replacing the pla-
rinum wire in this experiment with
thin rod of gas carbon, and with com
plete success. Carbon Possesses, even
at the same temperature, much
greater light-radiating power than pla-
tinum /; It's calOritic capacity Is less than
one half that of platinum IL Is more
ever, a sufficiently good conductor OF
heat SO that the same quantity of heat
elevates the temperature OF q small rod
of carbon to nearly double that of a
wire of platinum of the same size.
Again, the resistance of the carbon EN-
ployed is go times greater than that of
platinum hence il follows that a rod
of carbon may I've fifteen times Is thick
as a wire of platinum the same length.
and yet be heated by the same current
to the same degree. Finally, the car
bon may be heated TO the most intense
whiteness without the danger OF fusion,
to which platinum Is liable. These are
some of the advantages of carbon; its
only disadvantage is that heated III air
it burns, and so gradually wastes. But
NJ Ladieuin has happily Obviated tnis
difficulty by enclosing the rod of car
bon in glass cylinder containing no
oxygen and Theoretically sealed. DIR.
Wilde asks, in conclusion. that the
Academy recognize the fact that III. La
digain has resolved the grand problem
OF dividing and rendering steady the
electric light, in the simplest possible
manner, and that they award him, In
consequence, the LomonOssow prize.

the mother, and taken in hand early by
a good dentist. As soOn as they begin
to do service, they have right to care.
and in spite of baby's protest, they
should be cleansed with soft towel
every day. We are told that there is
already a demand for brushes for
babies teeth, and that the demand is
likely to be met soon. When the child
is old enough, he should be taught the
imperative necessity of cleanliness in
this particular. as in every other. Let
the dentist examine the teeth often,

torture that comes of allowing decay to
extend to the sensitive parts of the
tooth. Ii is to he hoped that the greater
watchfulness of the mothers. and the
increasing attention paid to diet, and
the more general use of grains and
fruit will secure to the next generation
more durable teeth than have been the
inheritance of this.

Moths in Clothing. g.-The moth is de-
cidesily formidable enemy 10 a house
for, tiny mite though il il, it will prove
rninOus to all wooden stuffs, such a
blankets. flannels, curtains. carpets and
clothing, as well as TO furs and feathers.
These are the suitable materials for its
nest. and in them il deposits its eggs
whence in due season Issue the larv:e
which will feed upon them. Then
small circular holes are eaten by them,
which destroy the beauty ofthe material.
and render it worthless. It is often be-
lieved that moths generate In clothes
that are laid by, simply by their being
shut up 10 dark, close places; and
therefore, in the spring, when moth
millers are plenty, the clothing is taken
out to be aired, and thus good OppOr
tuniIy given to them to deposit their
eggs upon the garments, etc III they
were entirely kept from their approach,

which does the mischief, cOuld touch
the articles. The winged moth that
flies about the house, does not eat ol
destroy woOIens of any kind, but seeks
opportunity to lay its eggs in WOODEN
articles, upon which nature dictates
that her young must subslst. These
eggs produce little caterpillars, which
assume the pupa state, out of which
comes the winged insect. Thus we set.
if we prevent the moth millers from
having access to the articles we desire.
to preserve, they cannot become moth
eaten. For instance, if you do mp any
article that is free frOm moths in a
paper, cotton or linen bag, and pin it
up tightly, or tie the mouth of 1t closely,
no winged moth can enter to deposit
its eggs, and thus its contents must be
secure from depredations. Yet these
winged mites are possessed of con-
siderable cunning, OF rather instinct,
which makes them search patiently and
carefully for proper places TO feed their
young. Simply putting wooden articles
into tight drawers, or covering them
with paper, &C., will not suffice. for the
least bit of q crevice will admit them.
Nature has also implanted an instinct
to seek unmolested places wherein to
lay their eggs; therefore. if You shake
any wOUlen articles or furs OCCASION
ally, the moths will avoid them. Thus,
should any articles of clothing become
infested with them, frequent brushing
and beating will drive them away and
if they can be dipped into hot wafer, or
held over the smoke of a fire, the young
Larvae will be destroyed. If caipe are
infested with them. take boiling hot
alum water and dip cloths into it, and
saturate the carpets with it. Hot
alum water is very destructive to all
insect life. COckrOaches, water bugs,
bed bugs, and the like, can all br ex-
terminated by its use. Wooden articles
and furs can be also kept from moths
by busting them over with red pepper
or putting camphOr gum among them.

baltimore Tobacco Market.
BALTIMORE, July |, 1875
Editors Of the Register:

DhblIMohEi Duiy - ip'D'
Editors OF the Register:
Our market for Ohio Tobacco during
the past month has again been Il very
quiet one until the last few days, when
u demand sprang up for good Red To.
bacco suitable for England, and for Span
gled Tobacco for Austria, the sale OF about
$50 hhds. of these descriptions
have been effected at not quite former
prices. Bros. Boninger, the Agents of
the French contract, state that they are
waiting for instructions from Paris, and
for the types of the tobacco before they
will commence buying. As the French
contract has been taken at under S93, it
is evident that they intend to make an
effort to buy at low prices. Under these
circumstances we consider it policy
for agents here TO induce ether
BUYERS to come in the market and
by making sales to reduce the stock. The
stock at present in first hands consists Of
$500 hhds and as the inspections thus
far amount already 10 300 hhds, we sup
nose not more than 1900 to 1900 hhd> :,
will come forward vet from Ohio; there
are besides about 900 hhds. in specula-
tor, hands, which, however, we think
will be held ut tull prices. As Bros. Bon
niger will have to buy the
bulk of the tobacco this year
and will probably need in all about 1000
hh hds in order to ill the French contract,
and to supply the wants Of their Duis-
burg house, it will be plainly seen, that
they will have difficulty in getting their
share, if other buyers take hold of much
tobacco. The installment of l,20O nhds.
will have to be delivered in France Sep
tember lst. and therefore they will
have to commence buying
this month. As Italy has tn.
ken last wear about $500 hhds. ofOhio
tobacco. we think it Is likely that she
will need some Ohio tobacco this year es
pecislly as her contracts for Kentucky
tobacco for last year have not been filed.
Considering that all European markets
have not been supplied with Ohio to-
oacco for the past eight months, It Is
-easouable to suppose, that the stocks IN
Europe will be mnch reduced, and
therefore We believe fair demand for
Ohio tobacco from the different markets,
will set in later i'll the season.
According TO late advices received
from Ohio, it seems that the prospects for
the new crop are improving, and that
with favorable season from now on We
may expect a medium average crop.
