IRON CAsTINas.-A writer In the
London Iron on the subject Of cast
ings, thinks that the whole trouble
OF deficient soundness arises from the
shrinking not taking place simultane-
ously. Given a casting Of any COM
plexity of form, there cannot, he says,
be the slightest danger Of breakage
from shrinkage if the cooling through
out takes place simultaneously, and ii
the cores will give to the contraction.
This latter necessary quality OF the
cores should be carefully attended to,
as evidently, II the cores will not give,
the casting must burst under the con-
tracing strain. There is, however,
great danger to the casting, when the
cooling is not Simultaneous, of many
portions being placed under great
tension, even to such an extent as to
cause them to part. This simultane-
Gus rate Of cooling is very seldom to
be obtained naturally in any casting.
In very great proportion OF castings,
the sections Of metal are by no means
equal throughout, and, even il they
are, the inner portions Of the casting
are not able to radiate their heat away
with the same facility as the outer
ones. The rate of cooling is primari-
ly dependent on the proportion of the
outside cooling surface to the mass of
interior metal In any portion. The rate
will also, secondarily, depend on its
position-whether surrounded by, or
in close proximity with other metal,
or whether to the outside Of the
mould.

ExPREssIoN-GLAss.- portrait pho
Biography a small mirror. called an
expression-glass, in which the sitter
can see his face, has been tried with
success. It consists of round glass
mirror about six inches in diameter,
secured by means of universal Joint
to brass ring sliding on an upright
rod. The rod is supported by base,
SO that it will stand firm on the floor,
and by means Of the ring and joint the
glass can be placed in any desired
position. On the top Of the mirror is
a telescope sight, to enable the ope-
rator to adjust the mirror in line with
the sitter's eyes. By the aid Of this
glass the sitter is assisted to look in
the proper direction to obtain the
best view Of the face, and is given
fixed point on which to rest his eyes.
He also sees his face in the mirror,
and may thus correct any infelicities
of expression. The apparatus is said
meet the approval OF Photographic
artists.

BoRAX AS PREsERvATIvE.-Som
recent experiments with solution Of
borax, by M. Dumas, point to its value
as an agent in destroying the spores
Of parasite plants, like those affecting
the grape, etc., its power Of destroying
low animal life, infusoria and the like,
its usefulness in preserving anatomi-
cal preparations and in arresting fer
nentation. It was also tried on milk
and fresh meats with success, and is
suggested as an aid in the treatment
OF wounds. s. Beer, Of Germany, in
the same line Of research, announces
The use OF borax as a solvent in the
treatment of timber. The coagulation
OF the sap may be prevented by q So
luton OF bOrax, and 1t may then be
removed from the wood by boiling.
The timber is said to be greatly i'm
proved in color and texture, and in
ability to resist decay. By omittinp
the boiling, and leaving the borax in
the wood, it is rendered less liable to
injury by fire.

HE ALTITUDE AT WHICH MAN CAN
L1vE.-In July, 1872, Mr.. Glaisher and
Mr.. Coxwell, ascended in balloon to
the height Of $4,000 feet. Pevious to

seventy-six beats a minute, Coxwells
at seventy-four; at IL 900, It. the pulse
OF Mr. Glaisher was at eighty four, that
OF the latter at one hundred. At 49,
600 feet Glaisher's hands and lips
were quite blue, but not his face: at

SCIENTIFIC.

ANOTHER APPLICATION OF MACHINERY.
The little machine some time since
invented in France, by the aid OF
which stenographic writing may be
accomplished at the rate Of between
two and three hundred words per
minute, Is claimed to have proved q
practical success. It seems to be very
simple. There is q keyboard ope-
rated by the hand, and composed Of
twelve black and an equal number OF
white keys; and on each side OF
the instrument Is large key,
moved by the pressure Of the
wrist, and serving to give supplement
tary signs which simplify the reading
OF the characters printed. All the
keys, when operated, produce indica-
tions in ink on q roll OF paper, which
is taken from reel In manner similar
to that on the Morse telegraphic ap-
paratus; the black keys, however,
give long marks, while the white
ones cause similar dots to be tran
scribed. At each pressure of the
fingers on the keyboard, the
paper is automatically unrolled for
about O.O2 of an inch, so that on each
line any combination Of twelve double
signs may be imprinted, and these
signs are arranged in three groups Of
four each, and read from left to right
in the ordinary manner. The num-
ber Of characters which may be made
on each division of four Is more than
sufficient to require a single move
ment to form a single letter; in other
words, with practice, three letters or
less can be written at once. If the
useless letters be suppressed, such as
double letters, e mute, &C., frequent
ly single movement will produce an
entire word. The manipulation Of the
keyboard requires about six months
practice to ensure skill.-Pat. Right

4 REMARKABLE CURE.

ABRAHAM HuNsICKER, two miles from Skip
packville Montgomery county, Pa, contracted
a serious cold, which settled upon his lungs,
with a violent cough, pains in side and breast.
and short breath. The symptoms became very
alarming; In abscess formed in the lungs and
made its way through the side, and discharged
large quantities of pus externally, so that his
physician Thought that the power or functions
OF one of his lungs was totally destroyed. and
therefore supposed the case entirely hopeless.
This mOurnful state of things continued for a
long time until he was wasted and worn to
skeleton. He was advised to make of
Swayne's Compound Syrup of Wild Cherry, and
through its use was restored to hea ltb.
In every section of the country there are per-
Sous who have been cured of consumption, in
its several stages, by the use of DIR. Swayne's
Medicine. Many have been restored to health
after being confined to their beds, reduced to
mere skeletons. and troubled with cough, night
sweats hectic fever, and all other indications
OF an advanced stage of disease. 1t is true that
in all cases where cures are affected the patient
must have some lungs remaining, but thous-

ROMAN MAGNIFICENCE.

If anything was wanted to give us
an idea of Ronan magnificeDce, we
would urn our eyes from public monu-
merts, demoralized games and grand
professions, we would forget the stat
ues in brass aid marble, which out
numbered the living inhabitants, so
nnmerous that one hundred thousand
have been recovered and still embellish
Italy; and would descend into the
lower sphere of material life-those
things which attest luxury and taste
fo ornaments, dresses, sumptuous hv-
ing, and rich furniture.
The art of using metals and cutting
precious stones surpassed anything
known at the present day.
In the decoration Of houses, III So
cial entertainments, in cookery, the
Romans were remarkable. The mo-
saic, sgnet rings, canoes, bracelets,
bronzes, vases, couches, banqueting,
tables, lamps, chariots, colored glass,
gliding, mirrors, mattresses, cosmetics,
.rfumes, hair dyes. silk ribbons, pot
teries, all attest great elegance and
beauty The tables of thuga root and
Dellan bronze were as expensive as
the sideboards of Spanish walnut, so
much admired in the Great Exhibition
ut Lenlon.
Wood and Ivoi y were carved as ex-
qmsitcly as in Japan or China.
Mirrors were made OF polished sill
YER. Glass cutters could initiate the
colors of precious stones so well that
the Portland vase, taken from the
tomb of Alexander Severus, was long
considered as genuine sartlonyx;
brass could be hardened so as to cut
stone.
The palace of Nero glittered with
gold and Jewels. Perfumes and flow
crs were showered from ivory ceilings.
The halls of Kligobulus were hung
with cloth and gold, enriched with jew
els. His beds were silver, and his
tables of gold. Tiberius gave mil.
lion of sesterces for picture OF his
bed room. A banquet dish of Dasil
lrs weighed five hundred pounds silver.
The cups of Druses were of gold.
Tunics were embroidered with the fig
ures of various animals. Sandals were
garnished with precious stones. Drink
ing cups were engraved with scenes
from the poets. Libraries were adOrn-
ell with busts and with tortoise shell,
and covered with gorgeous purple.
The Roman grandees rode in gilded
chariots, bathed in marble baths, Gined
on golden plate. drank from crystal
cups, slept on beds OF down, reclined
on luxurious couches, wore embroider-
ed robes, and were adorned with pre-
cious stones.
They ransacked the earth and the
seas for rare dishes for their banquets.
and ornamented their houses with car
pets from Babylon, ,onyx cups from By
thinia, marbles from Numidia, bronzes
from Corinth, statues from Athens
whatever, in short, was precious or
curious i'm the most distant countries.
The lnxuries of the bath almost ex-
ceed belief and on the walls were mag
nficent frescoes and paintings. exhib-
iting an inexhaustive productiveness

THE RED SEA-The following is

]tst number of the Bombay Catholic
Indian Ocean, which are of deep blue
color, those ef the Red Sea are of n
isht emerald green. No one, I sup
pose, even imagined that they were
red but some may naturally ask how
it come to be called the Red Sea. To
this question | am not sure that l can
give a satisfactory answer. We know
that the Yellow Sea of China is So
called ON account of the quantity of
the soil conveyed into it by the Ganate
King, and the waters of the Black Sea-
] believe / have somewhere read, are
of an unusually dark hue, though the
frequent storms to which 1t is subject
would amply justify its present epi-
tibet. As for the White Sea Of Russia,
it probably owes it's name to its being,
n great part Of the year covered with
snow and ice. For the name of the
Red Sea, have heard two explana-
tions: one, that when this sea continues
calm for several days together, it's sur
face is overspread with myl lads of ami
malcules of a reddish color; the other,
that the Arabian coast abounds in reefs
of red coral. The correctness of these
explanations ] was not able to verify,
