Macadam read paper on Sediments
In Domestic Water Cisterns, in which
he expressed the conviction that in

the contamination Of the water by its
being retained in cisterns containing
deposits lying there for long periods.
The analysis ola number of sediments
taken from cisterns In different parts Of
Edinburgh, proved that the deposits
were intermiugled with minute parsie-
les of carbonate of lead due to the lac-

PNEUMATIC CLocKs.-One of the
latest and nr!st novel applications of
compressed air is to the regulations of
clocks at distance. which has. inst
been introduced into Vienna. We now
get our water and our gas through
pipes laid III the streets, and it has
been proposed to distribute heat in a
similar way; but it is novel idea to
''turn on the time for our clocks by
kindred mechanism. The following is
description of the Vienna system,
from an English journal /: Tubes are
Laid In the streets from the Central
station, in which is the "mas,er clock"
or rather two clocks working together;
aud should one get wrong the other

Tung to indicate 10 the attendant that
something is wrong, aud lie at once

the station, and just as gas or water
'ean be taken into houses, BY means of
pipes, 50 can tie pneumatic tubes be
laid, and people can receive their time
just as they get their water or gas, the
tubes being always kept fully charged
