SyecifIc GrGrity BdldHcs.-M. Gannal
has recently devised simple means of
determining the specific gravity of
liquids. With his densimetre hydro
statique all calculation is obyiated. and
the specific gravity is ascertained by
simply reading the weight on the bal
ance. This apparatus is maze in the
form of an olive, so that bubbles of air
shall not attach themselves TO its sides.
The olive of glass or metal has volume
exactly equal To one decimal subdivision
of cubic metre. There are two differ
ent methods employed in the practical
use OF the appatps. o. We may sus-
pend il on the platform of the balance.
and having produced an equilibrium,
we plunge ii into the liquid: tine equi-
librium is then destroyed by the loss of
weight of the olive, and the number of
grams which il is necessary to add to
the scale-pan to restore tie equilibrium
Is the exact specific gravity of the liquid.
(2)Or the liquid whose specific gravity
we desire to ascertain may be put in a
glass vessel on one pan of the balance :;
balance the scale pans, and then sus-
pend the olive in the liquid by means
OF fine thread. The equilibrium is de-
stroyed, and the scale descends on the
side on which the olive is suspended,
and the weight, which it is necessary
to place in the other pan to restore the
equilibrium, is equal to the specific
gravity of the liquid.

SCIENTIFIC.

The Sand BldSt.-Among the wonder
full and useful inventions of the times
is the common sand blast. Suppose you
desire to letter a piece of marble for a
grave stone; you cover the stone with a
sheet of wax no thicker than a wafer,
then cut in the wax the name, date, ETC.,
leaving the marble exposed. Now pass
it under the blast, and the wax will not
be injured at all, but the sand will cut
letters deep into the stone. Or, if you
desire raised letters, a flower or other
emblem, cut the letters, flowers, etc.,
in wax and stick them upon the stone !;
then pass the stone under the blast, and
the wax will cut it away. Remove the
wax and you have the raised letters.
Take a piece of French plate glass, say
two feet by six. and cover with fine lace
pass 1t under the blast and not thread
of the lace Will be injured, but the
sand will cut deep into the glass
wherever it is not covered by lace.
Now remove the lace, and you have
every delicate and beautiful figure
raised upon the glass. In this way.
beautiful figures of all kinds are cut in
glass, and at small expense. The
workmen can hold their hands under
the blast without harm, even when il is
rapidly cutting away the hardest glass,
iron or stone, but they must look out for
finger nails, for they will be whitfield
off right hastily. If they put on steel
thimbles to protect the nails, it will do
little good, for the sand will soon whit
tie them away, but if they wrap piece
of soft cotton around them they are safe.
You will at once see the philosopny of
it. The sand whittles away and destroys
any hard substance, even glass, but does
not affect substances that are soft and
yielding like wax, cotton or line lace or
even the human hand.

The Writing EdchiRe.-The metalo-
graph is the name of an Instrument just
invented by Bostonian, and is likely
to be of service to writers. IL can do
things that the electric pen cannot ac-
complisb. Its motive power is COM
pressed air instead of electricity. The
instrument is thus described: 1T con-
sists of hardened steel point. which,
when in use, is moved up and down,
within a metal tube, very rapidly by
means of cam and spring. The cam
is on little metal shaft, which is re-
volyed by wheel, which is connected
by rubber tube with pair of bellows
under a table, and can be worked by
hand or foot. Resting the instrument
perpendIcularly upon thin sheet OF
metal, ana setting the bellows in motion,
person may write with 1t upoI, the
metal, making what appears to be con-
tinuOus line, but really a dotted line.
The letters made are embossed upon the
metal. The sheet of metal is then to be
placed in Il small press and covered by
Il suitable piece of carbon paper, and
over that again the paper to be written
upon is placed The press is then set
in motion and copies of the writing or
composition can be produced very rap
idly. No liquid ink, acid or electricity
is used. The little machine can be used
in manifold writing. The metalograph
will also be of service in signing bank
checks and other important documents,
for it will be impossible to alter or erase
signatures made with il.
