Petroleum Oa.-Good petroleum
should be colorless or light yellow, or
with the faintest tinge of violet. 1t
should have no unpleasant odor, and
at 50 deg. Fab. should have a specific
gravity not exceeding 0.S04, or not less
0.195. When shaken with sulphuric
acid diluted with its own bulk of water,
it should only color the acid light yell
low, becoming itself lighter in color by
the treatment. At 95 deg. Fah., it
should not burn whena light is applied.

Compressed Ice.-A writer in Les
Nondes suggests that thin ice from
ponds or small pieces left after cutting
blocks from larger bodies of water,
might be stored IN profitable manner,
and at the same time its preservation
ensured, by COMPRISING it into solid
blocks by means of any simple press.
In localities where ice is not attainable,
snow might easily be treated in the
same way.

A VdrRish from Vulcani-ed Rubber.-
The following description of method
of making a varnish from vulcaniZed
rubber is taken from the MoRiteur In
dustriel Beige. In answering questions
relating to the dissolution of vulcanized
caoutchOuc, we wehaverepeatedly doubted
possibility of so doing. The present
process, however, seemingly includes
burning out the sulphur, etc, and then
dissolving the residue. Ii any of our
readers practically test the recipe, We
should be glad to learn the result.
The fragments of vulcaniZed rubber
are deposited in a deep eartbenware
pot, which is closed by a tightly fitting
cover and deposited on burning Goals
for about five minutes. During this
period care must be taken not to open
the vessel, as the vapOr is highly lnf1a-
mmable. On removal, the mass is ex-
amined by pushing a wire into 1t to see
that it is uniformly melted and if this
be the case, it is at once poured out in
to large, well creased, shallow tin
pan, and left to cool. When hard. it is
broken into small pieces, placed in a
bottle with benZole OF rectitied essence
of turpentine, and there thoroughly
shaken and stirred.
The dissolution then takes place, and
after brief rest the clear liquor which
forms the varnish is decanted from the
impurities which settle at the bottom.

SCIENTIFIC.

Triple Properties of the Light Rdy.-
1t is now exactly 200 years since New
ton published his Optics" in which
was described the capital experiment
of resolving white light into its cOnsti-
tuent colQrs by the prism. 1t was the
first great step toward showing that
what was regarded as perfectly simple
turns out to be inexhaustibly complex:
and every succeeding step of research,
while clearing up some points, has led
to others which are still unresOlved.
One thing, however, seems to be quite
clear the mode of action throughout
the spectrum is fundamentally the
same. There are three spectra, one of
which, the thermal, takes action upon
all kinds of matter; another of which,
the luminous, acts only upon a certain
special form of Derve-matter: while a
third, the chemical, produces changes
in certain compounds. Although the
luminous force acts only upon the
nerve of the eye to stir up sensation,
yet We know how infinitely complex
and varied is the world of color that
results. There Is evidence that the
dark thermal and chemical radiatiOns
are of equal variability and cOmplexity,
yet there can be no doubt that all these
multitudiDOus effects are due to a single
mode of action. Thediterence between
the thermal and the chemical rays Is
simply the difference between the red
and the green; that is, a difference of
wave-length and degree of vibration.

preaching In our national history. Itno long
er presents the image of fresh bud; rather
will it be that of a full flower. If l do not
greatly err, the fearful events of the last few
years. instead or impairing the integral ele-
ments of the state, have swept away, with
fiery Bosom, all those which threatened its sol
idity. The wondrous engines of power, con-
trived as if on purpose to overcome our great
est obstacles of space and time, are knitting
bond of interest a thousand-fold more durable
than the metal OF which they are composed.
What majestic theatre is rising before my

every gifted citizen, if truly inspired by the

neld out by the great oracles of our early time,
In contrast to this magnificent picture. how
trinlng appear the noblest aspirations of the
statesmen of the past! They do indeed yet
speak from their graves, in full warning of
some OF the dangers that may yet cross our
path. Let their lessons of experience come in
aid of the heroism of the hour! There is not
a youth in the hearing of my voice at this mo-
ment who, if he possess the requisite happy
qualifications, may not contribute more directly
TO the destiny of America than did all its mob

Rome. Shall the patriots, the holy teachers,
the learned jurists the ms pired bards, prove
themselves equal to the commanding station
which it may be the will of Heaven to summon
them to assume?
trust that under the guidance of Divine
Providence, by the jealous cooperation of all
the noble institutions which are infusing the
true spirit of honor, of justice. and of patriot
ism among the ever growing millions of this
yet youthful community, the. day may yet ar
rive when the claim SO rashly and prematurely
made at the outset of our career, may be ulti-
mately confirmed by the spontaneous and &C
cordnglvoices not of ourselves, but of all ex-
terror nations. Then, indeed, would we not
claim, but modestly accept, their voluntary
testimony that we were indeed, at last, deserv

Il
LONDON, July 27.-ln the House of Com
mons this afternoon Disraeli in reply to Dill
wyn, refused to give precedence to Plimsoll's

would give the government more rapid and d.
rect action in stopping ships from sailing. At
ter long debate the House by vote of 173 TO
10, agreed to give the government bills the pre-
cedence tomorrow.
