sCIENTIFlc AND INDusTRIAL


Black walnut sawdust formerly thrown
away, is now mixed Wits linseed gum
and nodded into heada and flower
pieces for the ornameDtation Of furniture.
When dried and varniahed it is as hand
some and much stronger ard more dure-
bic than carved work.
According to the LamJsrlnan's Gazette,
paper bottles are now largely manufac-
tured in Germany and Austria They
are made of rags, wood peip and straw,
and arc coated on both sides with defrlb-
rinated blood, lime and aalmina. They
are manufactured in two parts and are
submitted to high pressure. When COM
pletcd they will hold spirits, acid. etc,
and are not easily broken. Their cost is
very low.
The use Of catgut suturds and chicken
Done drainage tubes is among the latest
devices for mercifully healing wounds.
Catgut, being an animal substance, is
absorbed, and does not have to be with
drawn as does silk or silver wire, which
has heretofore been used for sewing up
or stitching cuts together. Wounds
drawn together with catgut, therefore,
do not have to be infamed by taking out
the stitches, and are in consequence more
likely to heal by what Is known as the
first intention" The large bones of
chicken are decalcified and made into
transparent tubes. These are inserted
where wounds must be drained, and,
unlike the rubber tubing formerly used,
need not be removed, thus aggravating
the wound. Being anirslal substances
they become dissolved
The remarkable faculty which cats,
dogs, pigeons and other animals POSSESS
of returning in straight line to point
of departure, has awakened much curl
osity on the part of naturalists. Some
refer it to instinct, some 10 intelligence
similar to that of man, some to an inter-
nal mechanism which makes the animals
simply automatic, but none of these at
tempted explanations does anything
toward solving the mystery. Wallace
supposes that when an animal is carried
q great distance in a basket its fight
makes it very attentive tG the different
odors which it encountersllpon the way,
and that the return OF these odors in in
verse order furnishes the needful guide.
Toussennel supposes that birds recognizes
the north as the cold quarter, the south
as the warm, the east Gin France) as the
dry and the west as the moist. Recently,
Viguier has published, in the ReUue
Ph5losOphique, an original memoir upon
the sense of orientation aud its organs,
in which he attributes the faculty to a
perception OF magnetic currents.
