THE CAMPYLONIETER.

This name, meaning curve measurer,. is
applied by NJ. Gaumet to q small pocket in
strument he has designed for giving at a sim
gle operation and by q simple reading (1) the
metric length of any line, straight or curved,
traced on a map or plan; and ~ the nat
uial length corresponding to graphic length
on maps whose scales are mutiDles or sub
multiples of these. The instrument consists
of a tOothed disk, five centimetres in circum-
ference, mounted on a micrOmetric screw in a
frame, with handle. The two faces of the disk
carry each a system of broader divisions, the
one being into forty, the other into fifty parts.
The circumference of the disk corresponds to
four kilometres on one of the scales just re-
ferred to, and to five kilometres on the other
Q4O of the disc on one scale and $50 on the
other, measuring 100 metres). AS the disk
passes over the line it IS desired to measure,
it moves laterally along the micrOmetric screw,
and in front of a graduated scale in a frame.
Its zero having at the outset been brought to
that of the scale, one has merely (the move
ment being ended) to note the last graduation
Of the scale beyond which the disk has stopped,
and to add to the value of this graduation
the complementary length furnished by the
division of the disk opposite the scale.

LIGHTS FORLIGHTUOUSES.

Sir W. Thomson. who is one of the most pro-
mncnt of the scientific workers in Engln ID,
makes some sensible suggestions about improve
mpnts III lighthouses in Il letter to The london
IinleS lie recommends: % A great quicken
ing OF all revolving lights. GU The application
of a grOdp of dot. dash signals to every fixed
light. CD The abolition of color as q disinc-
ton for lighthouse highs, except for showing
dangers, channels and ports by red white and
green sectors. Ills proposal is to distinguish
every fixed light by u rapid group OF two or
three dOt-dash eCipsrs The dot of about half Il
second duration, the dash three times as long
with intervals of light, about half second
each, between the cclipses Of the group, and of
five or six seconds between groups. The dis
tinctiOn by color alone ought to be prohibited,
he says for all lighthouse lights on account
Of its LIABILITY to be confused with ships and
steamers sideiights.
or about one Northumberland twenty revolving
lights on the English, Scottish and Irish coasts
there are in all eighteen in which the periods
are ten seconds or less, and the times of cxtinc-
ton seven seconds or less. In these quick re-
vOlving lights, the place Of the light is not
practically lost during darkness the eye,
sweeping deliberately along the horizon, with
or without the aid Of a binOcular, to pick up
the light" passes over less than its own field
OF view within the period Of the light and thus
finds it almost as surely as if it were fixed.
The system of dOt-dash lights has also been
strongly urged for adoption on all sea-going
vessels, which would thus by the use of the
Morse alphabet be able TO interchange messages
at night with either passing ships in mid
ocean, or with lighthouses or light ships along
the coast.

MALLEABLE BRONZE.

A method of rendering bronze malleable
has been recently discovered. 1t consists in
adding to the compound from u to 2 per cent
Of mercury. which is supposed to act mechan-
really IN modifying the structure of the bronze.
The mercury may be combined with one OF
the metals of which bronze is made, before
they are combined. by pouring it into the

into the melted copper along with the tin, or
lust after the TIN has been added; or an
amalgam of tin may be stirred into the melted

IMPROVEMENT IN PORTLAND CEMENT.

Portland cement was discovered IN England
in 1924, and little change has taken place IN
its manufacture during half a century. In
making it, the chalk and clay. of which it is
composed, are thoroughly mixed in pug or
washing mill with n large proportion of water.
After being carefully worked, this liquid
"slurry' is pumped or conveyed to the becks
or settling ponds, where the heavier portion
subsidies, leaving the water on the top. The
water being drawn of, the substance at the
bottom is technically known as slip" The
slip is spread on flats to dry, the requisite heat
being derived from coke ovens underneath
The dried material is then placed in kllns and
calcined. 1t is next ground by horizontal
millstOnes, and is then ready for the market.
Several improvements have lately been in
PRODUCED into the manufacture. One of these
consists of peculiarly constructed kiln which
dries the slurry as well as calcines it, Another
is the substitution of wet grinding for the wash
ing mill, thus doing away with the large
amount of water required by the old process.
BY combining these two improvements some
English cement makers have obtained very
satisfactory results, making q better article at
a much cheaper rate, and probably extending
the sources of the raw material used beyond
the chalk deposits and the alluvial clays Of
the tertiary period.
