ELECTRIFIED CLOTH.

In wax cloth manufactury at Grcshcim,
near Frankfort, the finished pieces of wax -coth
are hung up to dry in an artiiicially heated
room, being supported ia successive folds ON
wooden bars placed across near the roof, and
the lower parts being about "a yard above the
floor. The air is kept about day at the tenn
pcIaturc of 400 10 go {. by means Of the fur
mace gases passing through earthenwarc pipes
in the ground, but also and especially, an air
current heated by these. On opening the place
Uhc heat having been shut off for II short inter
yaD, the wix-cloth is found strongly electric.
The boys go under it to have their hair set on
end, and distinct shock is received on touch
ing the cloth, more or less strong according to
the size OF the piece The explanation, rs Herr
by the hot air on the wax cloth in its rapid pas

people that the electric shocks are more violent
when the drying occurs in calm weather. which

If stripes in two colors are used then by carrying
two threads the clusters may be worked in the

a matter of taste, but they don't look well when
too crowded.

SCIENCE FOR THE PEOPLE.
THREADING WATER.

Mr.. Henry MacCormac, who recently urged in
Nature "treading water to prevent drowning,
thus replies to correspondents who recommend
teaching swimming i'll preference Let those
who will go III for swimming, and wish sim
cerely that everyone could swim. 1readlng
water, however, conducts at once to swimming.
Everyone can tread water who likes. 1t is just
as easy, If we only knew it, to tread water as to
tread the earth, and prOXimately just as safe.
Men and women might walk into the deep sea
and out again when they pleased. Nature has
not been so niggard with us as some persons i'm
agine. Why are not as safe in water as Is
the dogY 1t is simply because he treads water,
and we do not. In treading water the body IS
and are comparatively helpless. The admirals,
both of them, have given valuable testimony as
regards the efficacy of treading water. Before
the present pier at the Cape built, vessels in
bad weather could not communicate with the
shore, even by boats. Men, then, treading
water amid the mountain seas, carried cOmmu-
nications to and fro in oilskin caps | have
heard it was the same at Madras. Young Cor
don, apprentice to the sea, fell into midi ocean
while listing n sail The poor fellows heart
sank when he saw the ship sailing away. But,
as he aftcrward told me, he trOd water, and
kept up till the boat reached him. l have
trOdden water again and again with big boy
on my back. Anyone might do the same. Not
one woman in ten thousand, not one man in a
thousand, suppose, can SWIM They do not
know they can tread water when they fall in,
and of course drown. But ignorance and pre-
JUDGE cannot always rule, and the, day will
surely come when human beings better in
structed, shall enjoy the Same immunity in the
water that other animals not human beings now
