SOLAR PROTUBERANCES.

SpectroscOpsts who have studied the solar
prOtuberances affirm that the matter of these
rises with the tremendous velocities of so, 100
or 120 leagues per second. NJ: Faye. however.
who has been lately expounding his theory Of
solar phenomena in the Paris Academy, ex-
plains the appearances in the following way :
The gas forming the protuberances expands
in space, is enormously cooled and ceases to tie
visible but presently the solar radiation, which
amounts to 1900 to 800 calOiics pei. square
meter and per second, heats 1t again and
renders it perceptible. The visibility commences
at the lower side of the cloud by hydrogen, and
advances upward to the top. NJ. Faye holds
that it is this phenomenon that is propagated
with the high velocity just referred TO, apd not
the gas itself.

A NEW ALLOY.

In tho new alloy of copper, iron and zinc
considerable difficulty has been experienced IN
securing uniform admixture oi the IRON. "A
Tondon exuerimenter is said to have overcome
this by his method of introducing the iron INTO
the mkt ure of zinc and copper. When ordl-
nary wrought iron is introduced into molten zlnc
the latter readily dissolves or absoros thc
former. The exact point of saturatOn or the
proportion dissolved or absorbed varies with
the temperature at which the molten zinc Is
maintained during the process, and it is by
carefully ascertaining and controlling this tenn
perature that a perfectly uniform product has
been obtained The metal thus produced, and
to which the name of Delta metal las been
given, is stated to be as much superior to brass
as pbosphor bronze is to gun metal, or as steel
is to iron. 1t possesses great strength ana
tougbness, and samples cast in sand give
breaking strain of twenty-five tons per square
inch.

IMPROVED ELECTRIC ACCUMULATORS.
A great Improvement has been effected IN ac-
cumulators, says TIE English Mechanic, by a

which formerly was lit by eighteen incandes-
cent lamps, supplied by seventy Fauree accumu-
laturs. is now Illuminated with forty incandes-
cent lamps, the current for which ia supplied by
whose total weight is less than half those for
merly employed. According to Professor Ayrton,
the old accumulators weighed 130 pounds in
working ORDER and gave current equivalent to
one horse power for thlee-quarters OF an hour !;

tie growing by the extensive shipments
TO England of foreign grain; and now
foreign meats are pressing upon them,
and ii really looks, taking the essayist's
figures as a basis, as II English acres
devoted TO cattle and sheep growing
would leave their population more de-
pendent than ever upon the grains and
meats Of other countries. The English
people are fully aware Of this, and It is
reasoned that the British farmer and
feeder will continually, in the future,
encounter very strong competition from
our cheaply-grown meats. They argue
very strongly that the real food value OF
cereals is enormously greater with them
than the best yield that can be obtained
through stock growing 1t is claimed
also that the production Of stock is
strictly limited while through better
system Of farming, applied with care to
the production of grains and vegetables

the cheapest that il they would
depend more upon ''the kindly fruits OF

them, and much cheaper. But we sus-
pect that the poor people having got a
taste of good American grown meat, and
finding it "toothsome, notwithstand-
ing the vigorous efforts through libelous
statements to place it in the background,
will quite surely clamor for more, be-
cause they find 1t agreeable to the taste,
and satisfying; and when itcomes to do
ing hard labor they, OF course, find that,
while bread and potatoes, constitute
pretty good diet--especially good for
filling still the well-fatted flesh OF the
beast Of the field is quite necessary to
make one strong in battle, whether the
battle be in the harvest field with sickle
in hand, or a carbine and knapsack over
the burning sands Of Egypt. We con,
clude from all this that no sophistry
will change the taste of the English
working and middle classes back to po-
tatoes, after having had few good fills
of American high-grade, well-fatted
meat. United States Economist.

When Armies Fought Hand to Hand.

In the days Of hand-to-hand fighting,
when missile weapons were employed
by comparatively small portion of the
combatants, the vanquished were gen.
orally almost annihilated, and the vic
tors suffered enormously. At Gamma
40, 900 Romans out of 80, 900 were killed.
At Hastings the Normans, though the
victors, lost 0,000 out of 10000, and at
Crecy $4,000 Frenchmen out Of 100000
we're, it is asserted, killed, without
reckoning the wounded. When the
hint-lock reigned the average Of the
proportion of the killed and wounded in
ten battles, beginning with Zorndorf in
1853 and ending with Waterloo, was
from one-fourth to one-tifth Of the
troops present on both sides. The
heaviest loss was at Zorndorf, where
32,9l6 men out of $4,000 were killed or
wounded. 1t was also very heavy at
Eylau, being $4,000 casualties out of
100000 men. In the campaign in Italy
in 1859 rifles were used on both sides,
and we find that the proportion of casu-
alties to combatants was at Magenta
and Solferino one-eleventh. In the
Franco-P russian war of 1901, when
both sides were armed with breech- load
ing rifles, the average proportion of
killed and wounded at Worth, Spich-
eren, Mars-le-Tour, Gravelotte, and
Sedan was one-ninth, the heaviest loss
being at Mars-le-Tour, where ii was one
sixth, and smallest at Sedan, where it
was one-twelfth. The AMengun,.

A Fifth Avenue Rag Poker.

joaquin Miller writes A curious
psychological story was whispered in
my ear last night at the Windsor Hotel
by one of the wealthy habitues of that
home Of American aristocrats The
singular facts are not yet public proper
ty, but as | shall not give names do
not see what harm can come of it, and i
take the responsibility of my utterarces.
During the war, OF short time after
ward, a man, who it is positively assert
ed had been rag-picker and actually
went about with a bag on his back and
a hook in his hand, from barrel to bar
rel and from day to day, week in and
week out, suddenly became rich. No
one knew how he got rich. But he
bought block Of property and built =
house on Fifth avenue. He sent his
children abroad to be educated, kept
carriage, had crest and coat-of-arms,
and OF course denied vchemently all
knowledge of the rag-picker 1t is safe
to say that if any man had made that
charge against him the man making il
would have had to pay heavily in dam
ages.
Well, the years swept by, the children
returned from abroad cultured. proud,
beautiful with youth and hope and prom.
Use; and, trust, good enough at heart
and strong enough in heart TO feel no
shame in any revelations that may fol
low. But now the fathers concern and
anxiety to keep his low calling con.
cealed was redoubled. He began to
tell all sorts of curious stories of travel,
life in strange lands, a boyhood spent
in Paris, familiarity with great men
in foreign lands during these dreadful
days Of rag-picking in New York city.
This preyed so upon his mind, so says
my informant, who knew him intimate
ly, that he became crazed His children
began to observe that he would get up
silently and go out Of night. He
would come home stealthily at dawn,
!. and they would hear strange noises up
in the garnet. He grew thin as aghost.
One highland only few nights ago
policeman saw man with white
shirt and diamond studs that glistened
in the gas-light poking in an ash barrel
with rag-pcker's hook in his hand
and great well-iillcd bag on his back,
These he dropped and ran as the officer
looked at him supicously. Bnt being
pursued and captured he gave his name
and address, was taken home, and is
now in II private asylum for the insane.
Theory | have no theory about IT,
| have been trying to dismiss the whole
thing from my mind, but II haunts me-;
and SO | have written it down and d.
vided it up by piece-meal with my read
ers to get rid of it. But is 1t not Just
possible that this poor man found his
money in an ash-barrel, where it had
been hidden, stolen, or lost by some gov
eminent officer, perhaps during the
flush times toward the close Of the war,
and so was unable to get his mind away
from the trash Of the StreetsP / do not

is said. was found packed full Of old
rags.

English train vs.. American Meat.

1t is universally the belief that meats
more expensive than vegetable diet;
yet q recent English writer gives ex-
tended figures showing the comparative
value Of a given surface for production
Of human food, when devoted to grain
growing, as compared TO like surface
devoted to the production Of meat. The
essayist referred to reasons that each
acre devoted 10 growing butchers meat
will produce fifty pounds, and that, al
lowing three pounds to each person, the
acreage named would feed 2.l72, 1908
persons. This is on the supposition that
the population would make up the def
cheney with other food, as they could
not subsist. on meat alone. II Is said
Canadian boatmen and the Esquimaux
consume six TO eight pounds each day
when deprived Of other food. II Is
argued that each acre devoted to grain
raising will produce l,420 lbs. per acre,
which, at two pounds per day to each
person, would sustain population Of
81, 702, 500. Thus he reasons that upon
u grain diet, leaving meat out Of the
question. the land will produce enough
food for their own people Tho wish
may, In a degree. be father to the
thought In the case. Ho argues that the
remedy for over-production Is food re-
form, and brings In the oft-rcpeaied
statement Of DR.. Hunter that forty -four
men could DO sustained on 100 acres de-
voted to sheep raisingi 50 on a dairy
farm; $50 on u farm devoted 10 wheat,
and 683 on farm devoted 10 potatoes.
We imagine that the 6s3 on potatoes
would hardly have strength enough To
dig and cat the potatoes after they were
grown.
The British farmer, II Is claimed, has
been mainly driven from grain into cat.
