NEW PROPERTY OF sELENIUM.

The metal selenium seems under the increased
attention when has OF late been gwen TO 1t to
be deV eloplng new properties. NJ. Blaudot
writes to the French Academy of Sciences that
when q piece OF annealed selenum ~ connected
to one pole OF Lippman capillary electro
meter, by means of platinum wire, and
a plate of platinum is similarly con-
nccted to the other pole, a comparatively
powerful electric current is developed by rub
bling fhc selenium against the platinum plate as
is shown by the defie ton of the elcctrOmeter
scale. Mere contact between the srltnium and
the metal produces no deviation from the zero !;
but the act of rubbing readily gives an electro
motive force equal to that of u sulphate OF
copper cell. AS il to take the effect still fur
ther out of the category of those already rccog-
nized NJ. BlondlOt has verified the facts that
neither the rubbing OF two metals against each
Other nor an insulating substance against
metal, nor two insulating substances, can pro-
duce a change III the capillary cectIometer.
The current flows through the eecuomcter
from the unrubbed to the rubbed surface OF the
selenum. Now o therm0- electric current set
up by heating n seleniun-l platinum junction
would, as VI. BlonHot points out, flow through
the elecTOmeter from the hot selenlum surface
to the cold one, or in precisely the opposite di-
rection. hence the novel eject cannot BE- due to
heat developed by the friction.

NEW INVENTION IN GAsLIGHT.

A new feature in gasliGhi, involving prin-
cipaly greater economy and intensity of light
than the common coal gas, is now on exhibition
at No. 40 Llbertyst. The gas is made from
oil under patent of Lieutenant George ii.
Folt, United States Army, who claims that 1t
gives four times the light OF common coal gas,
and can be burned in any size burner from ten
to two Thousand candle power, without smoke,
or sulphur. Gas works arc TO 10
erected in the city, but instead Of a gasometer
there will DO fifty or sixty receiving cylinders
eighteen leet long and thirty inches IN diam
eter. The new gas may be distributed upon
the same principle as coal gas, but in factories,
elevated roads, and surface railroads. where
meters cannot be connected. it is proposed to
furnish it in cylinder tanks five feet long and
twelve inches diameter, each of which will hold
900 cubic feet of gas, Or twelve volumes COM
pressed into one. These cylinders, it is
claimed, will furnish six two-feet burners each
giving thirty candle poNer, for sixteen hours.
Arrange mentS are being made to test the light
on several railroads..

CURRENT RELIGIOUS DISCUSSION
CHRIST A CHILD.

Every mother knows how readily Der little ones
initiate their playmates. and what ceaseess care she
must take lest they be mised by unworthy assoc-
ates The power Of Christ to win the little ones Is
far greater than il would have been without the
story of His childhood brief as it is. Let the parent
make much of that story during the next few weeks
and test its power to impress the young The child
wants guidance as much as the older person. 1t
would be pity to leave IL with the picture OF
Christ too awful and severe and exalted to come
down into its own state and set 1t the example
it needs. The world Is lonely to the child who has
never been taught to find leader in Christ adapted
to the wants and perpex'tes OF Its daily life. IL
would be well at this season ot Christmas 70 dwell
upon the piey oil tho child Christ toward both His
Heavenly Father and His earthly parents.

SCIENCE FOR THE PEOPLE.
PHOTOGRAPHS IN NATURAL CoLoRs.

PHOTOGRAPHS IN NATURAL COLORS.
The announcement is again made that pro-
cess has been discovered for taking photo
graphs possessing all the brllliancy and deli:
cacy OF the natural coloJs, and an exhibition Of
pictures thus naturally cOlored has just been
held IN London. According to the reports, the
colOrs ara produced by the action of light alone
IN the camera, and owe nothing whatever to the
artists brush. In the photographs exhibited,
the cOloring appeared to be quite true to nature,
and delicate tones and shades were clear to the
view. The fesh-tint was exact to life, and full
justice was done to gorgeous regimentals. The
prOtruded tongue OF dog in one OF the photo
graphs possessed the exact color of nature.
Some of the guests. says The English Mechanic,
inspecting this collection, and not fully ac-
qualnted with the character of the latest inven-
ton, TOOK 1t Tor granted that the work was done
by skilful, artistic hands on ivory and other
material, and could scarcely believe their eyes
when informed that the color. as much as the
form and outline, was produced by the light
CT day. Careful and minute investigation,
however, would then show that human handi-
craft was not in it; for there we're touches
and effects which natures pencil of light could
alone accomplish The contention is that
photographs cOlOred by artists, however clever,
must be more or less "monotOnous, hard, I'M
true to Nature and TO the originals"
The process was discovered, it is said, by
French scientist, out has since undergone I'M
nrovement by the proprietor OF the patent TOT
England. III the new system prove an unquall-

numerous attempts have been made to induce
the sun-pencil to fix cOlOrs In the pictures 1t
draws IN the camera; but chemical and me-
chancal difficulties have stood in the way. In
the new process colors are said not only to be
faithfully produced, but protected from the
action of light by, being passed through boil
ing solution, OF which gelahne forms the prln-
cipal ingredient, and that some CT the photo
graphs so treated have been exposed for months
to the sun without beng, in any wise, affected
by the ordeal. Unfortunately the process is as
yet unknown, as it is likely to be for some time
to come.

ARE VOLCANIC STORMS GYRAToRY.

NJ. Faye, the French sNvan, has been invrs-
tigating the form of volcanic eTuptions. II has
frequently been asserted that the elected matter
OF volcanic eruption possesses Pyrntory
motion; but NJ. Faye can find no such move
ment in the ascending column Of Vesuvius.
The enormous clouds Of steam and smoke
which escape from the crater have boiling ap-
pearance but this is due 10 movement ratlies

there are never any flashes OF lightning 10 be
seen except when these ashes arc dropping IN
abundance from the upper NapOrs. These facts,
In the opinion OF M. Faye, go to prove that the
volcanic storm is quite distinct tom the solar
storm. and resembles in Effects the Armstrong
