Ten volumes have now appeared which
are full of instructive and interesting artic-
les and abstracts of articles, original, select.
ed, translated, and illustrated, from the pens
Of the leading scientific men Of different
countries. Accounts OF important scientific
discoveries, the application of science to the
practical arts, and the latest views put
forth concerning natural phenomena, have
been given by sauants of the highest author
lty. Prominent attention has been also de-
voted to those various sciences which help
to better understanding of the nature OF
man, to she bearings of science upon the
questions OF society and government, to
scientific education, and to the conflicts
which spring from the progressive nature OF
scientific knowledge
The POPULAR SCIENCE MoNTHLA has long
since ceased to be an experiment. 1t has
passed into a circulation far beyond the
most sanguine hopes at first entertained,
and the cordial aud Intelligent approval
which it has everywh met, shows that
its close and Instructive discussions have
been we'll appreciated by the reading por-
ton of the American people. 1t has not
been its policy to make noastfu promises
of great things to be done in the future,
but rather to appeal to what it has already
accomplished as giving it claim upon
popular patronage. But no pains will be
spared to improve it and make it still more
worthy of liberal support, and still more a
necessity 70 the cultivated classes of the
country.
The following quotations illustrate the
way 1t bias been habitually spoken of by
the press:

The French mining engineer, Sine
oils, says that the silver mines of Colo
RADIO and of Northwestern Texas give
undoubted evidences of great wealth.
The ores are true silver ores, and the
mines are indentical with those of Mex
leo, of which they are continuation.
An invention has been patented
which may produce almost as marked
an affect as the cotton gin. II is a
wagon-like machine, called the picker,
and when driven through the ripened
fields picks clean every scrap of cotton,
and saves the labor of one hundred
hands.
A Sonoma, Cal, man has raised five
cork trees, which are now % to 80 feet
in height and from ten to twelve inches
in diameter in the trunk. One coat of
cork, II inches thick, has been stripped
of. The tree resembles the live oak in
foliage. The seeds were brought from
Spain 20 years ago.
Wire ropes for mines, elevators and
the transmission of power are now be-
ing made of the comparatively new al
10y, phosphor bronze. These ropes are
said to retain their pliability after long
use, and to resist the action of the cor
rosive waters found in the mines.
Iron ties, said TO be more durable
than wooden ties, and to afford a better
support to the rails, have been tried with
satisfaction on the Pacific Railroad.
They are rather expensive, however,
and their general adoption is not very
probable until the tests have been made
more thorough. The old objection to
the use of iron ties has been overcome
in this case by the introduction of an
elastic substance beneath the rails and
in the Joint of cross-bar which unites
the bed-piates.
While his countrymen At home are
engaged in the attempt to tighten the
terrible infections suffered by the Chris
tians in Turkey, Russian in Paris, NJ.
Paul Jablochkoff by name, has under
taken to tighten the world at large by
the invention of an electric candle. The
English press generally prophesy great
results from the invention, which
promises TO supplant gas almost wholly
rs an illuminator of streets and the in
terror of large buildings. The material
of which the candle is made is q secret,
but it is known that "kaolin," the clay
from which hard china is made, enters
largely into the compound. Nothing is
said of the relative cost, but from the
very important fact that 80 brilliant can
dies can be lighted from one ordinary
electric battery it is to be supposed that
economy is one of the valuable features
of NJ. Jablochkoff's great invention.
