The Ieletopometer.-An ingenious IN
strument for a~scertaining the distances
Of accessible and inaccessible points
from the observer and from each other
has been Invented by DR.. Luigi Cere-
botani, a professor of the University OIL
Verona. The apparatus consists main
ly of a pair of telescopes mounted on a
stand and fixed on a tripod for use.
The telescopes are both brought to bear
on the object, and a reading is then
taken from a graduated scale on the ln-
struament, which compared with a set
of printed tables, gives the distance.
BY this means the inventor Obylates the
necessity for the base line, which has
hitherto had to be laid down IN these
operations, and he Gispenses with all
trlgonometrical calculations. Distances
can be measured between far Off DID,
jects, and by means of a sheet OF paper
fixed on a drawing board a rough plan
of the country under measurement can
be sketehed. In the same way the dis
tances of ships at sea, or of moving OBJ
jects on land, can be determined. The
apparatus appears to be well adapted to
land surveying, and particularly for
military purposes. In fact, it is stated
to have been already adopted In the
German army in the latter connection,
and it is about to be tried by the au-
thorities of our own War Department,
A practical trial was made with this
instrument ON the Thames Embank-
ment recently, when its varied useful
ness was demonstrated.

Protection Against Iccbergs.

Never were there SO many icebergs in
the Atlantic as during last May and
June. These were found as far south
as 80 degrees. and we're in the line OF
steamships that ply between Europe
and America. Navigation, therefore,
has been perilous, for the vapor of ice-
bergs is foggy, and IN the night there
is no means of gaugiug how near they
are to a ship. The City Of Berlin, with
1.400 passengers, struck an ice erg III
the night, bat she was saved from de-
strnction by her long bewsprit and
PROV, an unusual ~appendags to a newly
built steam vessel. Inventors have re-
Gently been at work to find mean for
protecting steamships from collisions.
Prof. Bell suggests that IN ecno might
tell of the proximity CT an iceberg, aud
commended tine plan proposed by Mr..
f. Della Torre, Of Eltimore, Tor effect
ing this object. This was tested on
Chesapeake Bay. The apparatus con-
sisted of a speakidt trumpet attached
TO the muzz Q of q mnsket. from which
blank cartridges were fred at passing
vessels. The experiment so far sue
ceeded that at a mile off, " steam
boats aud passing scaooners returned
echos at intervals proportionate to their
distance. Another apparatus employs
q bell for producing the sound, and a
large open vessel received the echo.
The sound in this case was conveyed to
the officer ON deck by telephone. These
and other inventions are being tested,
and II successful they will greatly re-
duce the danger Of iceberg collisions.

Some time Ego it was stated that an
ozonometric paper could be used with
effect in determining the presence of
certain diseases in the atmosphere.
NM. Bornis and Daniel, however from
observations conducted on the Senegal
during five years, conclude that there
is no relation between the indications
OF this paper and the intensity Of bilious
and yellow fevers. The simple fact is
that the reaction on the paper is slight
when the air is dry, and intense when
the air Is moist.

WINDOW CuRRArSss-Red and ma
room lace onrtains have beeh somewhat
popular this season, principally for DIN
Ing rooms, where they vail the window
by being quite crossed at the top and
then drawn away. To arrange this
crossing satisfactorily, the curtains are
usually sewn on to a piece of stout
muslin, high up, out of sight. Tue
soft silk scarfs looping them back are
tied about half way up. Cream and
white lace and muslin ones are ar
ranged in the same way for drawing
room windows and portleres. Some
times two fancy silk handkerchiefs are
used for keeping them back, one beng
tied around the curtain, with the point
on one side, and another Topped in and
finished off In a careless bow. Portiere
curtains of the soft oriental silks have
been a good deal used. as many as three
shades being put together, generally
with one of some pronounced color on
one side of the doorway and two har-
monizing colors Topped together on the
othsr-brown and two shades of gold,
brick-red and pcacoek-blue, and several
odd hues peculiar to the new goods.
Velvet on one side and soft silk on the
other looks very well. Target tins, with
long, pointed hooks, fitted into gilded
wall baskets of goodly size, are often
seen on n side ola portiere curtain,
attached at the point where it is lcoped
back and filed with sweet-scented flow
ers, and long sprays of fern, grass and
pampas spreading upward and out
ward.
