Efforts are now in progress to attract

A Dresden man has made a good
lubricant for shafts by mixing the
whites of eggs with the finest graphite
powder, until the consistency of firm
dough. This is kept in boiling water
until the whole is coagulated. The

A newly vanished carriage is liable
to spot. To prevent this some wash
the carriage two or three times in clean
cold water, applied with sponge in
stead of using hose; this will help
harden the surface. and prevent it, to
some extent, from being injured by the
mud or water getting splashed on it.
Mr. Michel Rossi states that the accu-
mutations of fire-damp are accompani-
ed by faint subterranean noises, which
the microphone indicates with much
sensibility. BY grating sounds this in
strument proclaims the escape of gas,
and Mr.. Rossi argues that this, added
to barometic warnings, would forewarn
the superintendents of mines and con-
sequently prevent explosions.
The Sanitary engineer says of mac
ademized streets: 1t would be difficult
to find q material better calculated to
irritate the eyes, the throat. the lungs,
not to speak of the feelings of the un-
fortunates who have to encounter it,
than the fine dust which is ground from
a macadamized city street when not
properly cared for. And where in the
United States is there a city which takes
proper care of its streets?

them he proposes to extract the So
called egg-oil, which may be used in
the manufacture of soaps, and he also
suggests that eggs unfit for human
food may be found of advantage in
artificial manures.
A correspondent of the Baltimore
Sun thus describes filter which he
says he uses with perfect success for all
the water his family requires. 1t is a
gallon glass funnel with small piece
of sponge in the bottom, and on which
rests half dozen slender sticks to IA
cilitate the percolation, then placed at
all around and beneath a
piece of muslin a foot or SO square.
The muslin is filed with, say, pint of |
closely powdered charcoal. Through |
this he filters the water. At first lit |
tie of the charcoal passes through, but |
it soon becomes perfect filter.
