A VERY delicate test for copper is due to
the careful researches made by NJ. CREST.
According to this method. two small wires.
one of zinc and tho other of platinum, con-
nectsd Gt ono end, are placed in tho solu-
ton suspected to contain this metal. A
black deposit appears on the platinum
wire. Now, to t-st this it is washed and
placed whiIe still moist in a mixture
of hydrogen bromide gas and bromide va
por-suoh as is obtained by acting on
potassium bromide with sulphuric acid.
The deposit, if copper, becomes, under
these circumstance, deep violet liquid,
especially distinct when phced on . white
pAts, and which NJ. Cresti believes to be
solution of ouprous bromide in hydrogen
bromide. The minuteness of this inyesti-
cation, az well as its chemical value, is
shown by the fact that copper may thus be
det4cr,d in few cubic centimetres Of O
one millionth solution.

SOME improvements have lately been

also woollen and silk rags, and the various
mixed fabrics, by new method of employ

unhydrous before it is brought into com

Of air at forty-fve degrees O., which. being

finished by means of ammonical gas or other
alkaline agent.

JUDICIAL DECISION OF BETS,

A Colorado Court, in the case of Elored
against Malloy, decided that promise to
pay sum of money, upon condition that
railroad should b. built to place named
on or before specified day is void as
wager. The Court says: THE courts of
this Territory have enough to do without
devoting their time to the solution of
questions arising out of idle bets made on
cook and dog fights. horse races, the speed
of OK trains the construction of railroads,
the number on dice, or the character of o
card that may be turned up. If we enter
upon the work Of settling Sets made by
gamblers in ono case, especially on the
time when the Colorado Central Railroad
reaches Golden, or when it will reach
Georgetown, we may well despair of ever
finding time for the despatch of those
weightier matters which affees the personal
and property rights of the respectable geo
pie in this Territory. If the gate is once
opened for this kind of litigation il is more
than probable that we may be overran with
questions arising out of bets. The spirit
of our laws discountenances gambling
Penalties are prescribed against gambling.
and l can see no difference in principle in
the bet that the faro dealer will turn up
jack the next turn and the bet that the rail
road will be built to Table Mountain in so
many days"

states that he took handful Of cotton

and then put it into box along with
some dry cotton. The box with contents
was then heated to It's degrees Fah.,
and in one hour and quarter the cot,
ton saturated with boiled linseed oil was
found to be on fire. Boiled linseed oil and
seal oil proved to be this most combustible;
next in order came lard oil, which took four
to Ave hours; rapc oil and gallipoli-olive oil
took little longer than the last. All the
oils thus named are ethers of glycerine.
Castor oil, which is not an ether of glyoer-

TIE RICHEST CITY.

Frankfsrt-on.the- Main, now containing a
population of about l0O, ,OeO is reputed 10
be the richest city of its size in the whole
world. If its wealth were equally divided
among its inhabitants, every man, woman
and child would have. ii is said, 10000
marks, or some $4,000 piece. There are,
as may be supposed a great many very
poor people in the town; but the citizens
are, as whole, in unusually comfortable
circumstances, more So probably, than the
citizens of any other capital in Germany or
Europe.
1t is asserted that there are 100 Frank.
forters worth from S., 600, 900 to ST., 900, 900
each, and $50 who are worth 81 900, 600 and
upward. The city is one of the greatest bank
ing centres of the globe. It's aggregate
banking capital is estimated at $20o, 0tO,-
600, more than one-fourth of which the
famous Rothchilds, whose original and par
ent house is there, own and control.
The annual transactions in bills of ex-
change are in excess of $lOO, 900, 00o. Its
general trade and manufacturing industries
have greatly increased since the formation
Of the German empire, to which Frankfort
was originally averse being free city and
an opponent Of Prussia until coerced, in
July, 1866, by General Won Fslkenstein,
who entered at the head of the army and
imposed fine Of 81 ,0Oo, 900 forms for Its
insubordination.
