Edison has learned, in response to cir
culars to miners ell over the country,
that all the large gold mines contain
more or less platinum.
Preserving grapes fresh has be-
come remunerative branch Of business
in France. The principles observed are
to gather the most perfect fruit on a
dry, windy day, then hang the punches
in special cases, which latter may be
suspended in an ordinary room, the es-
sential point being to maintain a uni
formity of temperature, neither too hot
to dry the berries nor below freezing
point to CONCEAL them.
Henry Bessemer, the English in
yentor, has taken out 160 patents, al
most as many as Edison, and one of
them, his process for making steel,
ranks as one of the most brilliant in
ventions of the century. 1t converts
pig-iron into steel in few minutes, and
has reduced the price of steel rails per
ton from $500 to $50. Ten times as
much steel is used in the world now as
was used prior to 1856.
"A new patent, secured in England,
involves the mixing of paints and var

sition is to store up daylight and give it

applies it TO clock faces, so that at night
the hands NAV be seen distinctly; but
his patent claims its use for all kinds of
lighting purposes. Rooms may be
painted with it, and streets so coated as
to become self luminous; also, ships,
buoys, and the other objects used in the
signal service.
Imitation meerschaum pipes are

ting paper and submitted to certain
pressure, when it becomes a material
that can be readily carved. The coun-
terfeit is said TO be excellent. An imi-
