M. Galppe, a French savant, speaks . good word for copper. He has been experi- menting since 1875 upon dogs with verdigris, bluestone and various salts of copper, and he has come to the conclusion that Cooper can- not cause fatal poisoning" And on its being objected that the emetic effects of these sub- stances probably saved the animals lives dogs being particularly susceptible to the ac
 ton of emetics-he courageously proceeded to try similar experiments on himself, having all his food regularly cooked in copper ves- sels coated inside with verdigris, and he feels none the worse for it. Furthermore, he has over and over again found copper in the liver and kidneys of persons who have died from natural causes and his analyses of wheat, chocolate and other alimentary substances have revealed the presence of in finitesimal quantities of copper in their com position. These are facts, he says, which should not be lost sight of in making post mortems of persons whose death has been attributed to metallic poisoning and he be- ieyes that ignorance of them has led to more than one sad judicial error.
 Some thirty of the leading machinists and mechanics of Nashville, Tennessee, neatly and "heartily" 'sindorse' the report of the ma iority of the Water commission awarding the contract for waterworks engines to one com pany, and also 'heartily indorae" the report of the minority recommending the award of the contract to another company. They say that, after mature consideration, they are persuaded that, with which ever company the contract is made, it will be the best thing for the maehinists and mechanics of Nashville that has happened since the last engines were put in place. They further explain their interest as follows At one time we were red hot for good en- zine, like the ones offered by the West Point founders, or the Hartford company, but VIC have found out that those kinds of engines will last from fifty to ninety years with very small outlay annually for repairs, while such gear as both the majority and minority ity of the commission recommend will, in all human probability, have to be replaced in five or ten years, while a sum sufficient to keep four or five machinists drawing good pay would have to be expended on them yearly, clearly showing that the commission has the inter ests of the Nashville mechanics at heart, and it would be the basest ingratitude on our part not to support them in the laudab1e effort to place few dimes in our pockets.

A Press-ROoIsl Puzzle.

We looked into the press-room of one of
 Boston's large printing establishments this week The pressman was furious and the proprietor sorrowful. Frictional electricity
 in the printed sheets of paper as they left the presses was the immediate cause of their
 trouble. It is an interesting and not uncom-
 mon phenomenon, and is not easily ex-
 plained nor easily controlled. It has puzzled
 Professors Bell and Wadman and the best
 electricians we have about here. The pack
 ing upon the press cylinders seems to act as
 an inductor, and the paper leaves the press
 thoroughly electrified. We watched 8 press
 running of l, 100 per hour. Suddenly the
 printed sheet clung about the cylinder as though pasted upon it. and had to be torn off
 in strips Again, we lifted a few freshly
 printed leaves, and they ripped and cracked like the stitches on an old coat. Then we
 saw 8 lot of card board being printed. The sheets stuck together as solid as brick, and could not be separated until the electricity had partly passed off. piece of printers
 brass rule placed in this pile of cardboard,
 with an end projecting, threw of sparks when approached within an inch by another piece of rule. Two sheets sucked together when held fourteen inches apart. Wet
 rags placed around the delivery table and led into a bucket of water charged the water with electricity in forty minutes, so that positive shock was felt upon hand being i immersed in the pail. Electrical currents were felt in the hands and arms upon nano- | ling pile of paper eight minutes after being printed. These are only few of the curi- ous experiences. The bother to the printer is a considerable one. It entails inconven-
 fence and serious loss. Valuable work is
 frequently spoiled by the electricity parching
 the leaves so closely as to offset the fresh ink.
 Then the presses have to be slow sPeeded,
 with frequent stoppages Nothing so demor- alizes the press-room as this mystery of frlc-
 tional electricity when under full headway.
 The theories for controlling it don't seem to
 work when applied, worth a cent.

EDITORIAL NOTES.

A new kind of temperance movement has been started in the West by Father Wander erder, Catholic priest of Milwaukee. it is the organization of 8 society called the sLeague of the Cross," the members of which promise not to abstain from drinking, but simply not to enter saloons or places where liquors are sold. At the first meeting in Chicago great church was crowned, and about nine-tenths of all present joined the league
