FluoresceRce Of Bodiesm Castor OIL
Charles Horner states that certain
natural organic coloring matters, which
exhibited no fluOrescence when in a
queous or alcoholic solution, were OBJ
served to fluOresce brightly when dis
solved in castor oil; while other sub
stances, possessing naturally faint
fiuOrescence, were found to have this
property considerably augmented.
In this solvent, cudbear exhibited a
brilliant Orange-colOred light, and ex-
tracts of logwood and camwood a pow
erful apple green fluOreseence. The
well known fiuorescence light of tuT-
merle solutions was increased in bril-
liancy at threefOld, and is described
as a vivid emerald green fluOrescence,
comparable only with the appearance
presented by the best uranium glass
under similar circumstances. 1t is
suggested, therefore, that in studying
the phenomena of fiuoreseence, advan-
tage should be taken, when possible,
of the solvent property of castor oil.

Self Watering LooomOtires.-Thes self
supplying water apparatus for locomO-
tives is coming into very extensive use
in this country. 1t consists of a water
trough from 500 to 200 feet long, Land
between the tracks of the railway. As
the engine passes along at a velocity of.
the fireman, by means of alever, lowers
the water is carried up into the tender.
The water is prevented from freezing
in winter by means of steam pipes.
The use of this device, by saving time
in stoppages, permits more moderate
average of speed, and so results in econ
omy.

Testing Tin Plates for Ledd.-Fordas
recently communicated to the French
Academy of Sciences the following
simple method of determining the
presence of lead in tin vessels employ
ed for packing articles of food. The
metal to be tested is first touched with
nitric acid. and then heated, when the
acid evaporates- If lead be contained,
stannic acid and nitrate of lead remain.
Iodide of potassium is then applied,
forming yellow iodide of lead while
the stannic acid is white. The yellow
stain. therefore, indicates lead, the

Preservation of Wood by Lime.-M.
LOstal, railway contractor, Ferminy,
has communicated to the Society of Min
eral Industry, at st. Etienne, France,
the results of his observations on the
effect of lime in preserving wood, and
his method of applying it. He piles the
planks in tank, and puts over all a
layer of quicklime which is gradually
slaked with water. Timber for mines
requires about week to become thor
Oughly impregnated, and other wood
more or less time, according to its
thickness. The wood acquires remark
able consistence and hardness, and 1t
is said, will never rot. Wood has been
prepared in this manner for several
mines, so that the plan will shortly be
tested on a considerable scale. Beech
wood has been prepared in this way
for hammers and other tools for sew
eral iron works, and 1t is said to become
as hard as oak without losing its elias
ticity or toughness, and to last much
longer than when unprepared. 1t has
long been known that wood set in lime
or mortar is preserved from decay, but
no systematic plan for its preservation
has until now been attempted

Before washing almost any colored
fabrics, soak them in water to each
gallon of which a spoonful of Oxgall
has been added. A teacupful of lye in
pail of water is said to improve the
color of black goods. A strong tea of
common hay will improve the color of
French linens. Vinegar in the rinsing
water for pink and green will brighten
those colOrs; and soda answers the SAME
end for both purple and blue. To wash
calico without fading infuse three gills
of salt in four quarts of water. Put in
the calico while the solution is hot, and

Temperature Of the Edrth.-At the re-
cent annual meeting of the Geological
Society of Glasgow, the president, Sii
William Thomson, gave lecture on
''The Conditions Of Underground Ten
perature at Different Depths" The
various classes of varia tiOns occurring,
and the mathematical Investigations
which had been made by various en-
inent observers of the phenomena re-
ferred to, notably those of Fourier,
who had done much on the subject of
underground temperature, were con-
sldered. Such observations were diff
ficult to make with correctness, on
account of the changes of temperature
caused by the opening of the ground
for the placing of the thermometers.
The best form of thermometer was
that having a lOngshaped bulb.
1t was found that, generally speak
ing, the temperature of the earth in
creased by 1 deg. Fab. for every 80
feet of depth. There were some con-
siderable exceptions to this, the temper
ature increasing faster, which was ap-
parently due::tO volcanic action.
By making use of the knowledge ac-
quired by observations and supposing
the earth at one time to have been in
a molten state, this condition could
not be be placed further back than
about 4O0, 100000 years.

half a pound of Spanish whiting, and a
pound of clean glue which has been
previously dissolved by soaking it first.

qualities of soda, does no injury to the

added one tablespoonful of oil of tur-
pentlne and three of liquid ammonia.
This mixture is then well stirred. and
in it the clothes are STEPPED for three
hours, the wash-tub being covered up
as carefully as possible. Next. the
clothes are washed, rinsed, and blued
as usual. The mixture will serve a
second time, only it must be reheated
and One-half spoonful of oil of turpen-
tine and one and ODe-half of ammonia
added to it. This process economies
time, labor, and fuel. The clothes are
not injured, because the ammonia
evaporates very quickly; and as for the
smell of the turpentine, that disappears

The Ornamentation is produced by
etching and eIectro-plating. and con-
sists, according to DR.. Meidinger, in
the following operations: After the
object, which may be of massive copper
or bronze, has received the desired
form, the drawings are made with water
colors. the body of which is white lead
If several pieces are to have the same
design, it may be printed on as In por-
celain and faience painting. Those por-
tiOns of the surface not painted are COW
cred with varnish. The article is then
placed in dilute nitric acid, whereby
the paint is dissolved and the surface
ofthe metal is etched to certain
depth. When the etching is finished,
the article is washed with water and
Immediately placed in a silver or gold
bath, and layer of the precious metal
deposited by electricity on the portions.
When the latter operation is finished,
the varnish is perfectly removed and
the whole surface ground or polished,
so that the ornamented portion is just
even with the remainder of the surface.
The contours are quite sharp. The sur
face is then bronzed, which does not
change the color of the gold or silver.
A specially fine effect is obtained by
producing a black bronze of sulphuret
of copper on portions of the surface
between the silver ornaments. A COP
per vessel then has three c0lors. black
and white drawings on red brown
ground of suboxide of copper.
This new process for ornamenting
metals has been devised at ChristOtie's
works since the Paris Exposition of1s67.
Specimens exhibited at Vienna in 1873
show the high degree of perfection to
which it has already been brought.
Unfortunately, these goods are so ex-
pensive as TO be only accessible to the
few, although much cheaper than those
in which the engraving is done by hand,
