Science and Industry.

Professor Alexander Agassiz Of
Harvard University has been awarded
the Series prize for researches in anato-
my and zoology, by the Paris Academy
of Sciences.
Last year not pound of cream of
tartar was imported, A few years ago
millions of pounds came annually from
England and France. Manufacturers
at home now supply all that the country
needs, and prices are 80 per cent. lower
than formerly.
The importation of crockery has
decreased by about one half in the last
ten years. English manufacturers have
concluded that the American market is
rapidly clio ing to them, and English
capital is being employed in the estab-
lishment of new factories in this
country.
The notion that ice purifes itself
by the process of freezing is not based
upon trustworthy observation. On the
contrary it is utterly wrong in principle
to take for consumption from any pond
the water of which is so foul as to be
unfit for drinking purposes.
For the purposes of submarine
lighting they now compress pure oxygen
into cylindrical reservoir of plate iron.
This oxygen is supplied by a flexible
tube to an alcohol lamp provided with
means for the escape of gaseous pro-
ducts of combustion. This furnishes a
brilliant light for the period of four
hours.
The accumulation of SCOT in CHM
news is a great nuisance, and may be
remedied by mixing considerable salt
with the mortar with which the bricks
composing the chimney are laid. The
salt acts by absorbing moisture when
ever it is damp and rainy, and the SCOT,
becoming wet and heavy, falls into the
fire below. This is an English idea,
and is said to give very satisfactory re-
suits.
Oatmeal to Scotland seems quite in
the nature of Goals to Newcastle, but it
is said that large part Of the product
of an extensive factory at Cedar Falls,
Iowa, is shipped directly to the Land OF
Cakes. Perhaps some of it comes back
with foreign label, for those who have
vet to learn that there is no better oat-
meal available to the American public
than that made at home.
Barley is the only cereal grain that
the United States imports. During the
last three months of the year 1877 we
imported 5,504, ,513 bushels, and during
the corresponding months of 1878, 81
SO0,O31 bushels. The cash paid to for
eign countries for barley during these
six months was $7,091, ,468-a fact well
worthy the attention of farmers in those
sections adapted to the growth OF bar
ley.

DIR. T. Dewitt Talmage has had a

Foreign Notes.

"A collected estimate of the personal
estate of the late Baron Lionel de RothS-
child is S65, 100000.
The Empress of Germany, at the
celebration Of her golden wedding, wore
dress and train of gold color, with a
tiara and necklace of brilliants. Queen
Victoria sent to the imperial pair q gift
of a magnificent majolica plateau, about
"a inches in diameter.
Last years conscripts of the Ger
man Army, taken from all ranks and
classes of the community, furnish inter-
esting evidence of the spread of educa-
ton in the German Empire. The con-
scripts numbered 0,197, and it was
found that of this whole body 13O,939
had received elementary education, and
that 6,2S3 had gone beyond the element
ary stage into the higher branches. No
country in the world but Germany, and
no State of the American Union, could
make such showing in the educational
line.
The way in which a fool and his
money are soon parted was shown at a
recent sale of the contents of Gunner
gate Hall, near marlborough, Eng
land, where Thomas Vaughn had run
through fortune of S2,5OO,OOO in eight
years. The furnishing of the billiard
room alone cost between $l5O,OOO and
100000; in the smOking-room the
spittoons cost 800 each; in some of
the rooms the leather covers of the seats
cost 800 yard; a single fireplace cost
$4,000, and the owners bedStead ST.
500.
The Associations of "Housekeep-
ers" in Vienna now numbers 1,543
members, among whom are ladies OF
the best houses in the city. Nineteen
officials, women, look after the store
houses, the bookkeeping and the sales.
The supervision of the whole is done
voluntarily by the ladies whom the as
sociatiop appoints. In the shops al is
activity and order; the work in the
register office is no less brisk; every
where there is evidence Of women learn
ing to live honestly and Independently
by their own labor, whether as servants,
artists, work-women or teachers.
"A youth, even though he be a titled
ruler, finds it hard to resist "good
Clothes" and especially regimentals.
When Prince Alexander, newly of Gul-
garia, called upon the Emperor at Ber-
lin, he naturally wore the uniform Of his
rank-second-lieutenant in the Prussian
Army. 1t was, of course, unreasonable
that mere second-lieutenant should be
cordially received by an Emperor, so
that potentate dubbed the young man
"Major" on the spot. The Prince had
guessed what the Emperor might do,
and accordingly had majors uniform
ready at his hotel. He dashed out OF
the palace and to the hotel, changed his
lieutenant's for his majors uniform, and
dashed out again, to finish his round OF
state and official calls.
