POPULAR SCIENCE.

The fiber Of silk is the longest contin-
nous fiber known. An ordinary cocoon
of well-fed silk-wom will often reel
1000 yards, and reliable accounts are
given by Count Dandolo of a cocoon
yielding 1895 yards, or fiber nearly
hree-quarters of a mile in length.
Human skin and that of young rabbits
have been successfully applied in small
pieces to large healing surfaces in wounds.
DIR. Wilson, however in the Medical Nelcs,
claims to have obtained very much bet
ter results from the use of the internal
membrane of hens eggs. The egg should
be fresh and warm.
The best way to ascertain whether
flour has been made from sprou;ed wheat
is to stir sample up with water, filter
and test with corallin solution, rendered
red with a trace of alkali. If the flour is
acid it turns yellow, Methyl orange can
be used. Litmus is less delicate in OBJ
tanning the reaction.
Tabulated results of $50 experiments
with forty-two distinct explosive COM
pounds were published by NM. Berthe
lotand Vielle, of the academy of sciences,
Paris, bearing on the amount of pressure
developed at the moment of explosion,
the temperature produced, and the spe-
citic heats Of the gases, especially those
of the compound ones, at various tenn
peratures.
The giant bowls of Orholm, on the
east side of Christiana Fjord, have been
described by Herr Geelmuyden. These
curious geological formations are the
largest of their kind in Scandinavia. In
two of these depressions a few pines and
birches grow in tolerably natural way
until their tops reach the level of the
rock, above which the branches are
twisted Enthusiastically by the force of the
wind.
A clock at Brussels has been going for
nine months, and has not required to be
wound up since it was first set going. II
fact, the sun does the winding of this
time-piece. A shaft exposed to the SUI
causes an up-draft of air, which sets {
fan in motion The fan actuates mechan
ism which raises the weight of the clock
until it reaches the top, and then puts OF
break on the fan until the weight hal
gone down little, when the fan IS AGAR
liberated, and proceeds to act as before

A practical farmer who burns both coal
and wood in different stoves makes a
practice of mixing the ashes and apply
ing all on his young orchard in the
spring. He believes that the potash of
the wood ashes is effective in small guam
titles, and that its addition to the coal
ashes makes the latter much more absorp-
tive of ammonia or nitric acid from the
atmosphere At any rate, he finds good
results from the mixture, and his young
orchard is usually thrifty and productive.

Fast Running Of Trains.

On the subject of fast running an ex
change says at is the frequent stop
pings and slowing ups that prolong run
ming time. To move a body from a
state of rest to a velocity of sixty miles
per hour, or eighty feet per second, is
equivalent to lifting it 121 feet vertically.
The Zulu express on the Great Western
railway dhe fastest tram in the world)
takes twenty-six to twenty-eight miles
to get up its full speed of fifty-eight and
a half miles per hour. Engines on some
of the Eng fish roads are said to have re-
peatedly run fifteen miles in twelve
minutes, which is seventy-fve miles per
hour"

Emperor willinm's Appetite.

Emperor William has followed his carriage and horses to Wiesbaden at last, though they were sent down some time ago. His majesty is greatly affected over the death of faith full valet few days since, who had served him continuously for over ffty-two years. A demoralized digestion is also troubling the emperor as one of his eccentricities is ''boIt- ing'' his food. This is so we'll understood here that when he accepts an invitation ont the host is compelled to make the gala meal very prosaic affair, rushing the courses on and of in steamboat style As etiquette re- quires course to be removed as soon as the emperor gives indication of being satisfied with it, and another to be brought on imme- dietely, the other guests are compelled to iIn= itate their sovereign or leave the dainties un- touched. This is sometimes hard on the lady who may have the honor of the empe- TOTS attentions, as she is expected to pay more deference to him than to the dictates of her appetite. Indeed, it is proverbial here that the lady whom the emperor escorts to the table never has an opportunity to judge
 of the quality of the refreshments. At the French ambassadors ball less than half an hour was consumed in encompRssing refresh ments. It was 8 magnificent spread, but owing to the courtesy due the aged monarch,
 the different dishes were left almost un- touched in the scramble to get the feast over without fatiguing his majesty. One of the women assistants in the kitchen was seen watching the emperor through glass door, and when the dishes were removed she slipped into her pocket 8 piece of bread which he had been eating, saying to @ com- panion: T am going to preserve that, for I saw our dear emperor eat from 1t !"

Bellies who win shine at Newport.

 Undoubtedly the prettiest girl in the Coaeh- ing Club parade was Miss Marion Langdon. She bids fair to become as great beauty in New York as Mrs. Langtry did in London. Very many people recognized her as she swept past, and pointed her ont to their friends. There is no doubt, suppose, that Miss Langden is the belle of New York. She is bright, witty and graceful girl, highly &C., com piished and endowed with great wealth She is niece of Mrs. William Astor and a step-daughter of Philip Schuyler, with whom she lives in Washington Place It is said that Miss Langdon is cold and austere, but I fancy that manner is acquired rather than natural girl who has broken engagements with Congressman Perry Belmont and youn 2 Harry Stevens is certainly entitled to treat
 men with more or less contempt. Miss Lang don's beauty is a good deal of tLe same type as that of Miss Chamberlain, who has created furore in London for the past two years. Both are tall slim and graceful, and their faces are characterized by fneness of feature and delicacy of outline. Miss Langdon's fortune of a million dollars comes to her She and Miss Chamberlain will divide the honors at Newport this year, unless one of them makes 8 clean sweep and routs the other. This is hardly possible when both of them are go beautiful. Opinions about Miss Chamberlain, however, differ greatly. The English people and the press are loud m her praises and think her the most beautiful girl in England, but many Americans insist that there are thousands of women here who are much more beautiful than Miss Chamberlain A girl who has just returned from England told me the other day that she considered Miss Chamberlain anything but beautiful woman. She said the first time she met the American beauty was when she went to her dentists in Lsndon. She was waiting in an anteroom, when the door opened and a tall and graceful girl swept through. She bads the dentist good day, glanced coldly at the other visitors, and walked slowly from the room. Her cheeks were elaborately painted, even though it was in the morning, and though her features were well proportioned, she had Tagged out and weary expression. Of course, however, the dentist may have been responsible for some of this.

The Dawson Route.

 Hearing Before a Co mmfttee of Directors
 of the Consolidated Road on a New
 Route for n Branch Road to Savtn
 Rock.
 committee of the directors of the Consol- dated road consisting of President Watrous, Vice-President Reed. N. D. Wheeler of Bridgeport, and Ezekiel Trowbridge, has been appointed by the directors of the road to select suitable route for Q branch road. to Sayin Rock with power. The committee gave hearing'yesterday morning in Presi- dent Watrous' office. Among the gentlemen present were: Hon. H. B. Harrison, Wal lace W. Ward. D. 8. Thompson, James Graz ham, James D. Dewell, N. D. EpdEry, James Gallagher, General E. E. Bradley, Marshall Bassett, s. Harrison Wagner, MsyoF Lewis and Civil Engineer Curtis of tho Consolidated road.
 The route discussed is known as the Daw- son route. It lies between the central and western routes and leaves the main track about half mile below the West Haven depot. It then skirts the old savin Rock road to the Rock, running first on one side and then on the other, being on the average about 800 feet distant from it. The route runs about 300 feet west of the West Haven pestofice and then runs southwesterly to- ward Savin avenue When within about 100 feet of Savin avenue it turns end runs to the Rock and thence across the meadows to Waverly Grove. There are no grade cross- ings and depots will be located at Chestnut street probably, at the Rock and at Waverly Grove and possibly at other points The route intersects only four highways. The unaniaous opinion of the citizens present was that the road should be built end that the Dawson route was the most free from objections of any of the proposed routes. The property owners along the road are nearly all in favor of the route and say that they will expect but moderate land dam ages. MT. s. Harrison Wagner said the Daw- son route was the most feasible. It doesn't cross any road at grade. it is almost mile shorter than the other routes and the land over which it passes will make solid, sub- stRntial road bed, whereas the central route would have to be ballasted all the way. It runs through the best part of West Haven. Others of the gentlemen spoke of the i'm mense advantage the road would be to the west shore, and the development that would follow the building of the road.
 MT. Curtis, the civil engineer of the road, said the route was an expensive one to build owing to the rock cuttings and filling in of excavations. Exclusive of buildings and right of way it would cost $1oO, 600 to build it from the main road to Waverlv Grove, at thirty foot grade. The road would either be in a deep cut or on high embankment. The road would be an expensive one to keep in repair.
 The directors committee will report in a few days, after looking over the route.
