LIGHT FROM AN ELECTRIC CURRENT
Electricity Is a hand lamp is the most recent
fruit of inventive enterprise. Messrs. Vol
son and Drouier, of Paris, have just patented
a new scheme for obtaining light from an
electric current. The apparatus consists OF q
single cell inclOsed in light mahogany case,
In the top OF which Is small central hole,
through which projects brass rod or "plua-
GER" having spiral spring communicating
with the zinc plate of the battery within the
case. The battery is brought into play by
pressing down the plunger SO as to cause the
Immersion of the zinc plate In the usual So
luton OF bichromate of potash contained
within the cell. and the chemical action thus
set up Instantly produces sufficient electricity
TO raise 20 red heat fine spiral OF pIati-
mum, which connects at the outer edge two
small Drass tubes, projecting about quar-
ter Oi Fn inch under the cover OF the Case
In front. This spiral is again acted upon
by the evaporation from q benZollGe
lamp about an inch In diameter, the narrow
neck or which is held la position under the
platinum wire by means of a brass arm.
The effectbf the evaporation OF benzoine is
10 raise the platinum to a white heat, a1i
the wick with which the lamp ia furn ishei at
once bursts into flame. The whole operation
is performed SO quickly that 1t may be said
10 be almost simultaneous with the pressing
of the finger on the plunger. The principle of
the Invention is. OF course, we'll known, but
the mode OF applying it is altogether novel.
The apparatus rs very simple, and it is noise
less Ia It's workings.

AN ERRONEOUS BELIEF CONCERNING THE
CHANGE OF COLOR.


CHANGE OF COLOR.
III is very Curious TO observe the regularly
with which We are told In the autumn that
"the first frost will change the color OF the
with the change. lt has, indeed, sometimes
happened in New England that the foliage
has CHANGED, as If by magic, in a single
night, 80 that, upon looking out OF the win
dow in the morning, the eye was surprised
with the spectacle of the world wellnign on
IRE; and since this trsnfOrmation took
place IN connection with the mercury al
low point the whole affair is referred 10 The
agency OF Jack Frost. But why not refer TO
this prestidisiiator the glowing tints of the
apple, the rich crimson OF the velvet peach,
and the purple OF the plum? Many years
ago this error was pointed out by an eminent
bOtanist, who showed that the gorgeous color
OF the autumn leaf came in the regular pro-
cess OF TipeniDg; and, though botany is
generally studied in schools, the old notion
comes back with the beavers every year,
showing that error. in common with truth,
especially when suppOrtSt.by the r1T pOp'ti,
''rise again" however deseryedly crushed 10
earth.
Leaves find their parallel in man, as al
ready observed, and, like the human species,
they may rlpen suddenly. II, however, any
one choOses to ma mystery of the inten-
sity Of the autumnal cOlOrs, there should be
no great difficulty in explaining the variety.
Indeed, the apparent superiority over the
strength OF color in the foliage Oh the CONT
nent of Europe may be attributed chiefly 10
this variety. IN Great Britain the climate Is
evidently uDfavorable TO the production of
bright fOresi-tones, but in parts of Germany
the Driiliancy of certain kind of leaves Is
quite equal TO that OF the corresponding
varieties in North America. At the same
time the green's of Europe are quite different
from those of our own land, where, begin
ming with burnt green in the south, We
passed northward along the Atlantic sea-
board, reaching the true green of The greatest
Of the reproducing states, the state of
Maine. Every one has noticed the unparal-
leled green OF the Emerald Isle," which be.
comes q pale sea green in Scotland, a
whirish green in the south OF Englant aud
In France-only TO change 10 an ashen- green
In Germany, and a sombre olive in the
Italian states.
But we were remarking upon the variety
Of the autumnal tints In our own country.
This is explained by the fact that, while in
Europe there are only forty trees that at
tain to height OF thirty feet, in North
America there are no less than one hundred
and forty-hence our forests fash like the
plane-tree that "the Persian adorns with
