Queer Discoveries Concerning the GrOaCth ot Mushrooms.-Wor burlington Smith, who has written much on repro duction of the mushroom tribe, has made some interesting discoveries. He finds that when single specimen of COprinus radiatus has been placed on a slide with drop of water under a covering glass, and this again under a prOpagating glass, that as the millions of fungous cells quickly disappear. so millions of infusoria just as quickly come into being: and he thinks that it seems almost reasonable to believe..that the fungous cells themselves are suddenly transformed, and reappear as simple infusOria. A dozen semi-de- cayed specimens, swarming with min- ute infusOria, were boiled in test tube for five minutes, and then dramatically sealed at the highest point of ebulli- tion. At the end of a month the tube was opened, and a drop of its contents at once placed under the cover glass of the microscope for examination, spores cells, monads. bacteria and svibrienes were all there, but the latter motionless and apparently dead. In fifteen min life, and began to move about, in thirty minutes the movements were decided in nearly every specimen seen, and in an hour the infusoria darted about with almost the same energy as they did before they were boiled. As there are about 22,500,000 cells in one of these minute plants requiring four teen daysf for their production, it fol lows that the cells go on multiplying all the fortnight at the rate of 1,114 the minute. .t'

Application of Electricity in Dyeimg.- According to the Bulletin de lo Societe I'edustriette de Mulhouse, Goppelsreder has observed that if an electric current is passed through anlline dye becks deeoloration ensues, with formation of colorless salts of lenkaniline. If yarns or cloths are steeped in the liquid they absorb it, and on subsequent exposure to the air they, become coLored, just vat and exposed to the air. The colors thus obtained are, said to be faster than those produced by the ordinary method. Whether this principle of dyeing will prove practically useful re- mains to be seen.

SCIENTIFIC.

Testing Beer for StarcA Sugar. is sometimes desirable to ascertain whether to given sample of beer there has been added, for the purpose of economizing the malt, substance variously known as artificial grape sugar, starch sugar, or potato sugar, etc., which is made from potato starch. some time since, Bechamp made the discovery that this starch sugar con tained & peculiar substance, interme- diate between real sugar and dextrin, to which he gave the name "amylin." :" Like real grape sugar, it turns the ray of pOlarized light to the right; but un- like it, it is incapable of fermentation.
 Eugen Dietrich has recently made the discovery that amylin IS a crystal Ibid. and therefore able to pass, when in solution, through dialyser made of parchment. This furnishes 8 ready which is a cOllOid and unable to pass through the dialyser. The method of analysis as applied to beer is as fol- lows:
 One liter (4-5 quart) of beer was sub- jected to dialysis for four days, water being frequently added. The dialysed liquid was evapOrated to one quart, de- cOlOriZed with animal charcoal, and filtered. Washed yeast was added to to the filtrate, which was quietly left to itself at 8 temperature of 68 deg. Fah., and in two days no further evolution of carbonic acid was perceptible. To make certain that all the sugar had been removed, fresh yeast was again 1ded, left two days more, and the liquid filtered and polarized, Accord ing to Neubauer's experiments, com- mercial starch sugar contains 90 per cent of this non-fermentables ubstance. Hence we may conclude that the quan- t!ty Ut of ;11 a;1myiln yin found, when h multiplied a tity of starch sugar employed. But lb. of this sugar will replace on an average g lbs of malt, thus indicating the amount of malt saved.

Wool Bleaching.-It has been found that the method of bleaching wool by means of oxalic acid, combined with glycerin, or used alone, has the effect of causing the tibers of the wool to be- come felted. This is now remedied by saturating the oxalic acid with soda, spoube pIa oaaae Sa %he beaebog 5has biOFmae s & fected in the same manner, that is to say, with pure water, exempt from lime, and the wool preserves all it's suppleness and soft touch.
