NEW ANTISEPTIC COMPOUND.

Professor Barn has described in Il communi-
cation to the Society OF Arts, London, a new
antiseptic compound applicable to the preserva-
ton oi articles of food. The compound in ques-
tion is an ether of bOric acid and gyceTine Of
the composition Boa Cs E5 first obtained by
Schiff and Bccchi. Experiments made with this
substance on various articles OF food, both solid
and liquid, seem TO have yielded satisfactory
results, so far as the preserving action is con-
cerEed but neither in the paper nor III the in
teresting discussion which followed its reading
does it appear that the preserving action is due
specially to the compound i'll question, or to one
Of its constituents. That bOric acid acts rs pre-

no doubt, but little is known OF its action on the
human economy. especially when taken III the

a little more inquiry should be made as to the

OF the other constituent of this compound
something more is known. 1t exists naturally
in many articles of food or drink, and It's phys

quite harmless. AS preservative against fer

nary fermentation and the fermentation OF va
rious bacteria in high degree.

AN INDIANA METEOR.

Professor Daniel Kirkwood, of Bloomington,
Ind describes in The Scientific American what
Is termed the great meteor of March 9, 1SS2.
At about IL o'clock, he says, on the night of
March O. 1882, meteor of great size and brill
iancy exploded over KosciuskO County, In
diana, in latitude 40 20 n, longitude ISo so
W. from Washington. The following account
OF the phenomenon is derived from The WdrSdU
Republican of March 25, 1882 and from a let
ter written by Mr.. Albert Parker, an intclli-
gent and trustworthy observer
Mr.. Parker was one of a party of five young
men whO at the time OF the explosion, were rid
ing III an open carriage or wagon about eight
miles northeast of Warsaw, the county seat of
Kosciusko County. The sky,was entirely COW
cred with clouds, and snow was rapidly falling.
Consequently the meteor could not be seen till
il had passed below the clouds and as the eX-
plOsiOn took place within less than a second
after its appearance, no trustworthy estimate
could be formed of the time of flight. The mo-
ton OF the meteor was from south to north, and
was accompanied by a noise resembling that OF
rapidly moving tram OF cars. It's color was "a
bright red, and It's apparent SIZE nearly equal 10
that OF the full moon. According to Mr.. Parker
II was nearly overhead-probably a little north
OF the zenith-at the time of its explosion. The
report was distinctly heard at Warsaw, and ex-
cited much attention from the fact OF its occur
ring during heavy snOwstOrm. The light of
the meteor was so brilliant as to blind any
person looking directly at it, and nOtwithstand-
ing the storm hghtened the entire vicinity as
clearly as the brightest day at noon" To Mr..
falker and his companions the explosion and
report were very nearly simultaneous. No
aerolites, however, If any fell in the vicinity,
have yet been found.
