An Experiment That viii Afford Pleasure and
Profit to the Little Folks.

Not the least pleasant thing about a
knowledge of simple science is the ability
it gives you to entertain others. The
most easily made experiments excite WON
der in those to whom they are new, and
many young host has enlivened an even
ing by a knowledge of the suggestions
which we are making under this head
from week to week. Here are two more:
Make very small hole in each end of Il
fresh egg, and after blowing out the con-
tents close one end with a bit of sealing
wax. Cut two pieces of cloth in the
shape of the body of a fish, and sew them
together on the edges so as to make a
pointed bag. Into this bag some sand
should be put for ballast.
The mouth of the bag must be exactly
the size of the egg, which is to be fas-
tened into it with sealing wax or glue to
form the head of the fish. Having pre-
pared it in this way, paint two eyes on
the egg with black paint, and the magic
fish is ready to be put into a jar of water.
The weight of the sand in the bag must
be such that the fish will float on the sur
face if left to itself, but so that very
hight touch will cause it to sink
Cover the jar tightly with a piece of
India rubber or any other proof
flexible substance. When you lay your
hand on the covering the pressure trans
mitted to the liquid will cause a little
water to enter the egg, and the fish will
dive; the heavier you press the more
quickly it Will plunge. If you remove
your hand from the India rubber the
compressed air i'll the egg will force out
the water, and the fish will come to the
surface again.
Lay on the edge of a table a long and
narrow paper bag, and place some heavy
weights-two dictionaries, for example
upon the closed end. The books can be
overturned without being touched, sim
ply by blowing.
The compressed air will swell the bag
so violently that the weights upon it will
be raised and thrown over. This expert
ment enables us to measure the strength
of our breath by overturning objects of
various weights, and will prove that
an adult can, without fatigue, raise with
his breath a weight 'Essf at least twenty
pounds. ~, -

CHEAPER FUEL.
for Coal as Fuel and Steam
Maker.
Chicago Globe. December 10.

Cn1cago CrlODe, december ~.
The council committee on fire and
water went to South Chicago yesterday
to examine the plant of the Standard
Oil company and its proposed inlet to the
city via the pipe lines of the National
Transit company. 1t was also an object
of the trip to investigate the burning oil
as fuel.
Aldermen McGregor ,Gorton, Manierre,
Young and Wallner, of the committee,
and Aldermen Wethrell, Emmerich and
Tiedemann composed the party. The al
dermen were met at South Chicago by
Attorney Eddy and Secretary Hearn of
the National Transit company, and Man
ager E. C.. Potter of the North Chicago
rolling mills. Mr.. Potter took the COM
mittee over the rolling mills and showed
the method of using the fluid oil as fuel.
The pipes are conducted to the front of
( the boiler, where the oil is sprayed with
"a jet of steam into the fire box. The
1iame is an intense one, and according
!. to Mr.. Potter, is far better and cheaper
than coal. 1t also did away with smoke
entirely from the chimneys or CRIME
from the coal. The immense plant of
the Standard Oil Company and the tanks
supplied by the pipe lines from the Ohio
coal fields were visited, and the aldermen
were very favorably impressed with the
magnitude of the works and its posi-
bic influence on the manufactures of
Chicago.

Electricity has been introduced as a
motor in the Comstock mines. By con-
veying water in fumes to the mouth of
shaft on the COmstock and then letting it
fail to the level of the Sutro tunnel, a
force equal TO Il pressure of $50 pounds to
the square inch was generated. Electric
motors convey the power, with Il loss of
only 40 per cent. from point 1850 feet
below the surface of the ground to the
mill on the surface, and when the power
reaches the stamps it is found to be equiv
client to 435-hOrSe power, which would
run any stamp mill in the world If the
experiment proves successful low grade
ores, which are not profitable to work
with steam power, will become valuable.

The NJ rning Ledger. which died g few
months ago, was started IS q riVal OF the

vince the public that it had filed sn ach-
ing void. The Ledger had no special po-
litic.l or other kind Of policy and the fact
that II changed the style Of its head four
times in IS many days Was enough 10 kill
it. It was hard work to recognize it

its typographical transformation. So that

however, be masking money indie

they need not worry about their ex-

To recapitulate 1 find that there ere

Of experience are coming here from all

Still they all seem to find employment.
