A MoD1F1oAT1oN, made by M. Lontain Of
the Wilde and Sismens system of electric
illumination, is claimed to multiply the
power, but at an increase of cost. M.
Lontain, it seems, has contrived to send
the current generated by an ordinary
Wilde's machine into an electromagnetic
engine called distributor the central
part being strongly maguetized by the cur
rent from WilleS machine, number of
electro magnets are Influenced by its rapid
rotation, and i'll each OF these an induction
current is generated-these induction-cur-
rents being powerful enough to feed three
electric lamps, and, as there are two series
of twelve magnets, g. single machine could,
theoretically, feed seventy-two lamps, but
it actually feeds only twenty-eight. In
this argument, N. Lontain uses an i'm
proved kind of regulator, which works by
the dilatation of small silver wire; by its
dlataton, this part of the apparatus works

The change Of color produced in
agates, by artificial means, is said to be
remarkably successful. as carried on in
the manufactory at Oberstein, and is of
peculiar interest az showing the very
different porosity of different layers in
the agates, the least porous bands, it is
stated not being necessarily nearest the
centre, but dispersed irregularly through
the mass. BY immersion for some time
in honey and water or olive oil, SO that
the pores of the agate become mere or
less filed with substance to be carbon

sulphuric acid produces differencs in the

Dangers Of Getting Married in Dis
tant Lands.

The troubles which 50 often arise when
man goes from the country of his residence
10 a distant land for wife, seem to fall upon
princes no less than upon ordinary people.
The Duke OF Edinburgh, also known as
Prince ALFRED, Queen VIcToRIA's second
on, is just beginning to learn the truth OF
This matter. Instead of marrying some nice
English girl, as he probably might have done,
ne went off to Russia and married the
daughter Of the Gar. A daughter of the
Gar is Grand-duchess, and RANKS among
the highest of all the princesses Of the earth,
everywhere except in England. The Eng
lish think that their princesseS are better
than those of any other country. So when
the Russian princess who has married Prince
ALFRED goes into society with an English
princess, sue is required to take back seat,
thing which no Russian princess ever yet
did do, and which this particular Russian
princess, it seems, has notified all concerned
that she never will do. Her husband, as a
rood husband should, stands by her in this
discrimination. Hence there is much trouble
in tile royal drawing-rooms, and English
society is futtercd from centre to circum'
ference.
The moral Of all this is that a young mar
should not so off to distant countries ii
search of wife, but should marry one OF
the nice girls who are among the chic
glories Of the land in which he makes hi
home.

SCIENTIFIC,

The Annales des Points ct Chaussees states
that a commission appointed to report on
boiler explosion at La Viliette attributed it
to an insoluble deposit, composed chiefly of
calcareous soap, which formed near the
opening close by the water feed pipe, and
which was due to the nature of the water
used. Some of the water containing cal
careous matter was furnished by the city,
some came from coudensers bringing fatty
particles, arising from the fabrication of
the machines. The commissioners in this
case cite numerous accidents which have
occurred within the last fifteen years, all Of
which are attributed to the same cause.
They therefore think it important that
manufacturers, if they are obliged to use
such mixture of waters, should take all
possible precautions, such as the purifca-
tion of the calcareous waters by carbonate
of soda, the filtration of the condensed
waters passing them through wool or felt,
the careful skimming Of all greasy matter
from the surfaces of condensing cisterns,
and frequent drawing OF of the surface Of
the water i'll boil, 8.

ACCORDING to the various chemical analy-
ses made by NJ. Blendeau the presence Of
Dagnesio in drinkabie waters does not
produce so hurtful an action as has often
been supposed; aud, in regard to the very
disagreeable earthly taste, which some
wells possess, this taste, lie says, is derived
from alumina held in solution by carbonic
acid-it being observed that those well
waters that contain most of this base
have the strongest earthly flavor. M.
Blondeau's experiments show that classi-
fcation of drinl,able waters based on the
relations which exist between the sulphates
and the chlorides, as long advocated by
some, must be a defective one.

THERE are certain uncertainties of the
law and occasional decisions of the higher
courts that sometimes seriously affect the
social relations of individuals as well as
their financial affairs. The market value
of a Missouri divorce has never been
questioned until recently. The man or
woman who had procured a "bilP' felt
himself or herself at perfect liberty TO
forage at once in new matrimonial pas
lures without any apprehension of collid-
ing with any statute against bigamy
But the Court Of Appeals of that State
has lust decided that divorce case can
not be referred to a referee, and as q
large proportion of such cases have been
80 referred and the divorce granted on
the report of said officer, there is a vast
element of uneasiness amongst the many
hundreds of divorced couples in that
State lust at the present time. A great
majority of them have married again,
and now find themselves, in the language
Of the law, living in two states at once
the State of Missouri and the state of
bigamy. The divorce laws Of the differ
ent States are so diverse that divorced
couple travelling through The United
States would in some State find them
selves still man and wife, while in the
next they might be at liberty to marry
anain. 1t is an embarrassing state OF
things. Why don't Congress, under its
constitutional power "to regulate com.
merce among the several States" pass g
general divorce law?

The Baltimore Sun says There is q
very good representation in Congress
from Texas-ior Texas, but it promises
to be a very expensive one for the rest
of the United States. There for in.
stance, is Mr.. Mills, who insists upon
an increase OF the army-for Texas, and
votes, he and his colleagues, with the
republicans upon the subject-all for
Texas. There is Mr.. Reagan, who is
not disposed to favor an adequate ap-
preparation tor Baltimore harbor for
fear it will interfere with some appro-
priation-for Texas. There is Mr..
Maxey, who amends the post Office ap
preparation bill with 100000 per
annum subsidy for a particular steam
ship Incorporated some of the steam
ers will sail from Texas. There is Mr..
Coke, who wants the United States to
build a couple of little railroads for him
through Texas. These roads will
cost mere bagatelle-only St, 00O, 900,
and they will save the government ST.
900, 900 per annum, Mr.. Coke says.
There is Mr.. Throckmorton, who calls
economy in public expenditures ''inis-
cradle economy" and wants to toss it
to the winds. All the members are
fanatically in favor ofthe Texas Pacific
railroad subsidy, and stop their ears
when an attempt is made to reason
with them upon the subject. In short
the Texas members are in danger of be-
coming a rather costly delegation-to
the country at large.
