TIE electric gong, htely introduced as
railway signal is claimed to be one of the
most ingenious aud effective mechauisms of
the kind yet devised-a heavy gong, accord
ing 70 this arrangement, being made to CON
tinually ring on danger signal post close
by, from three to five minutes before the
approach Of train at that point, the gong
coasing TO ring as the train passes. By this
system, electricity is carried in the rails,
holes being drilled in the fanges, into
which wire is inserted uniting the points;
a one gravity cell battery is connected by
wires to the rails at the end of section of
one mile, aud a signal level upon a post at
the other end of the section, and thus the
current of electricity is continuous from the
battery to the signal When the train en-
tiers upon the section, the current is taken
upon the wheels and axles, and so, being
withdrawn from the lever. it flies up, and
danger signal is set So long as the train
is on the section, the signal remains set
and ringing at :. danger" until the gate IS
dropped

STRANGE CASE OF INCITING TO A
DUEL.


The Correctional Tribunal of Tournay,
France, has just decided q very extraordi-
nary case. M. Loridan, well, known
fencing master, was requested by Mrs.
Robyns, through one of her friends, NJ.
Isabecque, to pick quarrel with her hus-
band and to deal him a good sword thrust.
Mrs. Robyns had found no other means of
getting rid of her husband, with whom she
had lawsuit. Unfortunately the fencing
master, having received an advance of 500
francs, made merry with it instead of pro-
ceeding to Ypres, where the husband, an
army officer, was garrisoned, and when in
toxicated spoke to some friend of his god
send. A friend of the husband, happening
to hear the intended plot, gave noticesto the
officer, and justice Immediately interfered
in the matter. In the court the fenc-
ing g-master declared that when he ac-
cepted the money he never intended to exc
cute the task he was entrusted with. Isa-
becque acknowledged having made the pro-
posal to Boridan to appease Mrs. Robyns's
anxiety with reference to the statements her
husband might make in their lawsuit. Mrs.
Robyns admitted the charges brought
against her. The tribunal acquitted Lori
dan, condemned Isabecque to $50 francs
fine for excitation to duelling, and Mrs.
Robyns to one month in prison and 100
francs fine.

T,.r construction of a tidal NAVIGATION fo

THE construction of tidal navigation for
sca-going steamers between Manchester
and Liverpool is now proposed. According
to this plan, the length of the channel
would be about thirty-six miles; the min
umum width of the navigation would be two
hundred feet, and the minimum depth at
low water spring tides ten feet, or about two
feet more water than exists at low water
over the bar at the mouth of the Mersey.
A basin would be provided at the Manches-
ter end of about eighty acres, with 10000
IineaI feet of well constructed wharves, and
an requisites for shipping accommodation
on e large scale. The estimated cost of this
important undertaking is in the neighbor-
hood of 81, ,OOO, 900, and large revenues are
anticipated

railway trains travel in different countries,
rs given in a recent table, show that the
swiftest runs ere in England, where some
lines average fifty miles an hour; in Bel

miles; the express trains from Paris to Bor-

miles between Bologna and Brindisi, about
thirty -one miles; the average Austrian ex-

One of the most notable among recent
engineering projects is the railway, already
being constructed, over the Mount Lofty
range of hills, South Australia Nearly $4,-
!. OOO, GOO, it is stated, will be expended ON
thirty miles between Adelaide and Marine.
Within tribe, the railway is estimated to
cost about $4,000 per mile, and that
vlsere the cost Of the land is very slight; in
some portions, the expenditures will be fully
10000 per mile, owing TO the large ex-
tent of tunnelling to be done and the height
of the viaducts and embankments to be
formed The summit of the range will be
reached in about nineteen miles from Ade-
laide, and at an altitude of some 1,6OO feet
above sea level, and here a station, to be
named after the range, viii be located. The
ruling gradient, 1 in 10, will be between
Government Farm and this point, and the
descent from the summit to the Aldgate
pump will be by similar gradient. .

A VALUABLE process for chemically black
ening zinc, and thus rendering q tparticuhrly

transactions of the Frankfort "Physisches

and very dilute hydrochloric acid, and then
plunging into . solution equal parts chic
nse Of potash aud sulphate of copper in
thirty-six parts of water. When withdrawn,
after short interval, it is found to have
taken up fine coating of velyety black,
which, however, at this state, very readily
comes Off, To insure its. permanency, the
zinc thus coated is quickly washed with
water, allowed to dry, and then plunged into
a weak solution Of asphalt in benzole. The
. excess Of this fluid is allowed to drain of,
and the colorc then be definitely fixed by
the very simple process of rubbing the sheet

Mosr of the decorative work ON what ar

Mosr of the decorative work on what are
known as Japan lacqusred wares, is now, it
appears, accomplished by the new method
of transfer printing-for which, probably,
porcelain ornamentation suggested the idea.
1t is most simple, and capable of being exc
cuted with great rapidity, The pattern or
picture is printed by the lithographic pro-
cess on fine tissue paper, which is merely
laid face downward on the japanned plate,
and adheres to the sticky varnish with which
il has been treated. After time the paper
is wiped of, but the coIors remain, and are
afterward fixed by stoving- Recently a
unique article in the shape of decorated tin
printed in the sheet has been introduced
