working power, be equal to 400 600, 900
times the horsepower of the largest
iron-clad man-of-war.
One of the most delicate instruments
known to science is Edison's taslmeter,
or h~eat-measure. The rapid passage of
the hand before it at a distance of
~thirty-four feet causes a DETECTION of
the needle of two hundred degrees.
1t has lon been suspected that milk
often serves as a carrier of diphtheritic
posion, and numerous recent cases in
Great Britain tend to confirm this sup
position. The matter is being inves-
tigated by a London.medical committee.
Edison's new lamp consists simply of
a horseshoe shaped thread of carboniz-
ed paper, in the electric circuit, en-
closed in q glass globe from which the
air has been exhausted. The passage
of electricity through the slender strip
of carbon heats it to incandesence.
Experiments in the artificial coloring
of the corolla of flowers have been for
some time conducted by Prof. Sac
harde, of Padua. The idea is not new
but the methods employed are original.
He simply causes the flower to drink
certain colored solutions-chiehy ami
line which, penetrating the tissues,
modify color, or, in fact, dye the nerve
lets and veins of the corolla. 1t is
known by gardeners hat hortensias re-
ceive a blue tint from the mixture of
iron filings with the soil around the
plants. Pansies and stocks have their
flowers colored in fifteen minutes if
their roots are immersed in a solution
of green aniline. The plant, however,
dies within a week when thus treated.
Watering the soil with a colored solu-
tion produces no effect, as the coloring
matter is absorbed by the earth.
In the peninsula of Taman, in Rus

fury before the Christian era has been
discovered. In it was found a gold col
