The electro chemical copying-press de.

Padua has been materially improved siace its
first announcement, and now bids fair to re-
alize measu rably the object Of simple sai

printing, or drawing, by electro-chemical
action, for the use Of editors. telegraphers
reporters. ect. The cop ying press itself
differs but little from the screw-press il
ordinary use, the difference being mainly in
having the upper bed composed Of plate
of copper, and the lower Of plate Of cop
per timed, both on mahogany beds, the
upper being attached to the solid iron press
by clips, and the lower being made to slide
out. These two plates are placed in the
ordinary way in the circuit Of battery, 80
that when brought into close proximity by
the action Of screw the circuit is completed
and the current established over the whole
surfaces.
A steel plate is coated with an insulating
varnish, and upon this the writing or draws
ing is traced. When this plate is interpss>
in the circuit, the current Of electricity il
confined to those portions deprived Of the in
sulating ssrface, and leaves record Of ito
passage by its continued action on the steel
plate and on sheets Of copying paper, es-
pecially prepared and dampened with . So
luton Of prussiats Of potash. The cleo
trolytic action causes the formation Of the
ferroprussiate, or "Poussian blue" produc>
ing perfect fac simile ofthe original mans
uscript or design upon the vanished sur
face Of the plate.
The movable steel plates on which the
writing or drawing to be copied is made
must be thoroughly cleaned and well and
evenly vanished, care also being taken by .
firm and steady pressure on the style, to
remove the varnish, leaving the writing,
printing, or other pattern, in bright steel on
. raised ground Of varnish, adording per-
feet insulation every where on the surface
Any number Of sheets, from one to six,
can be placed one upon the other, afte'
being dampened with the solution, and BY
interpreting these in the circuit, screwinl
the press down SO rs to secure a proper
contact, and by establishing the circuit
one wire being connected with the upper
bed and the other with the lower. the de-
sired result is accomplished in few sec
onds.

honeymoon was waning into the gibbons
stage, s'my dear, you have never told me
how your money is invested !"
Mrs. Meredith Pike poured out another
cup Of chocolate. and helped herself to
slice Of hot buttered toast before she made
answer. slowly:
..Well, to tell you the truth, Merry, my
love, it's mostly invested in my wedding
clothes. The dressmakers do charge 50

..Yes, yes, know that said Mr.. Pike;
"but mean the money that was to have

Belinda laughed little discordantly, Mr..
Pike thought.
..That was all nonsence, Meredith. .
..Nonsence!"
Mr.. Pike grew green.
..Why, of course | never had any mon-

the law. ..you have bascly deceived me

$40 you suppose would have married

| ..Ah.,' said Mrs Pike, with fresh
draught Of chocolate. ..then were even, Mr.
Pike. You deceive me about love, and de-

But Meredith Pike felt bitterly that the.

ALCOHOLIC PRODUCTS OF DiSTlLLA-
TON.

jlON-
Messieurs Pierre and Puchot have been
prosecuting come researches into the alco-
holic products Of distillation. and find that
these consist, frst Of aldehyde; second, Of
ethylic acetate; third, of propylic alcohol;
fourth, of butylie alcohol; fifth, of amylic
alcohol: and sixth, Of essential ais.
For the purpose Of dele mining the exists
ence OF these various products as chemical
substances, anc formed at the expense of
sugar during fermentation, the authors
above named have submitted them to numer-
Gus chemical tests, and have also sought for
the means Of depriving vinous alcohol, props
erly speaking, of these various substances,
for the practical purposes ofpurigcation, as
it is to the presence of one Or other OF them
that the defective taste Of certain forms Of
spirits is attributed.
Among the indirect results reached in
their inquiries, the authors maintain that it
is incorrect to say, when two non-miscible
liquids are boiled together, that the At
mospherlc pressure is equal to the sum Of
the elastic forces Of the vapors Of the two
LIQUIDS estimated separately at the temper>
ature al which the mixture boils; but that
first, when two non>miscible liquits are
boiled together, ono ofthem being water, the
boiling point Of the mixture is below that
Of the liquid that boils most readily: second.
this oiling point of the mixture continues
absolutely constant as long rs there remains
an appreciable quantity of each Of the liq-
uids; third, this constancy is independent Of
the relative proportions Of the two liquids
fourth, the mixed vspors condensed during
distillatiou have direct relation to each
other, independently Of the relative proper
tons Of the two liquids brought together Il
the distilling apparatus.
