Publication of Mercury.

The following process for the publication
OF mercury has been in use for some years
at the Physical Institute at KEEL with the
best results: The mercury containing chem
ical and mechanical impurities is poured
into glass tube, into the lower end OF
which is cemented piece of bamboo cane
which acts as filter. The mercury passes
through this into larger glass tube almost
entirely filled with dilute nitric acid Il in
so, and on leaving this bath is sufficiently
pure for some purposes. The distilling APP
paratus 10 prepare chemically pure mer-
curry consists of glass tube about Is nun.
wide and 80 Gun. lohg, at top of which is a
bulb Of about en-. diameter. The open end
of this tube is placed in an inverted bottle
with the bottom knocked out. Through the
cork in the neck Of this bottle is passed "A
second tube about | en-. wide and lI5 en-.
long, which passes through the other wider
tube and up into the bulb at the top OF it.
This narrower tube Is also contracted into a
capillary one about 40 en-. from the top, and
at the lower end is bent upward. To work
the apparatus, the wide tube and bulb are
filed with mercury and inverted, which
creates vacuum IN the bulb, and more
mercury is poured gradually, drop by drop.
into the narrow tube to increase IL, and the
apparatus then acts like a Sprengel pump.
The bulb is then heated by the fame from "A
circular burner, and distillation takes place
continuously, the absolutely pure mercury
flowing out at the bent-up end of the smaller
tube. Unless the atmospheric pressure
varies greatly, the apparatus can be left at
work night and day, and only requires the
addition Of mercury two or three times in
twenty-fOur hours

Trials of Rapid Firing Guns.

A report has just been made to the Brit.
ish War Office upon the experiments recent
ly carried out with the Maxim gun at 6OC
and $40 yards, in comparison with fire from
Martini-Henry rifles. At 800 yards fifteen
men, all first or second-class shots, fired
ten volleys and made SO per cent. of hits in
3 min. IS sec, while the Maxim, firing the
same number of rounds at the same tar,
gets, made sl.56 per cent. of hits in min.

min. 40 Sec; Maxim, so per cent in min.

the volleys tired by the men were directed
alternately a quarter right and quarter

ing II yards; the Maxim fired Is shots

periments are 10 be made at unknown dis

POPULAR SCIENCE.



The United States Fish Commission lately
sent on to California six hundred live lob
sters, three hundred and fifty of which ar
rived safely at Sacramento. Several at
tempts had previously been made to send
live Holsters across the North American con-
tinent, but had failed. In the present in
stance, as we learn from Science, Colonel
Mcdonald. Fish Commissioner. personally
superintendent the packing Of the Holsters.
A crate or box devised by the late Captain
Chester was used This was placed within
another larger box, the Intervening space
being filled with pounded ice. In the inner
box the holsters were placed between layers
Of rock weed, which at times was moistened
with sea water. Each box had an indie
pendent drain, So that the fresh water from
the melting ice could not enter the lobster
box. The temperature OF the latter was
kept at forty-tive degrees Fahrenheit.
A Fish Commission car was used, the
boxes along the side Of IL serving as the
outer box of the combination described
above; one hundred crates, each containing
six Holsters. being placed in them, and sur
rounded with ice. Each morning before
sunrise o careful inspection of the Holsters
was made. and those that had died were re-
moved. The first day forty-five died; the
second day. hfty-ive. After that the NOR
tally was much less. All Of those that
died were in an advanced state of shedding.
and were in poor condition when they
started. One-half Of the three hundred and
fifty Holsters that arrived safely on the Pa
cific coast were placed in the ocean north Of
San Francisco, and the other half south.
The condition Of the water in that region is
similar to that of the Atlantic of the Mas
sachusetts coast. The temperature is about
the same, but it is more constant. The lob
ster on the Massachusetts coast crawls out
into deep water in the summer, where the
temperature is low, but it is thought that
the equable temperature Of the Pacific will
enable the lobster in those waters TO spend
the whole year in one spot.

Use equal parts OF Nos. and :. Keep these
solutions n separate, lisht-tight, well-stopped
bottles.
The function of the gum arabic or dextrin
is to keep the sensltizing solution on the
surface Of the paper, the quantity used de-
pending upon the quality OF the paper
hard, firm paper requiring little; soft, por-
Gus paper, more. As the iron aud ammonia
solution undergoes change when kept, il is
better to have the salt in the dry state in a
well-stopped bottle, making the solution as
needed.
In preparing the sensitized paper, take a
solid, firm paper, free from impurities, and
apply the solution TO the surface Of the pa
per with soft sponge on broad, soft
brush, being careful not to have the sponge
or brush charged too heavily with the solu-
ton, or else the paper will have streaked
appearance, which will show in the finished
print. Go over the surface Of the paper in
two directions at right angles to each other,
10 insure an even coating. The sensitized
paper must be allowed to dry in the dark,
and in a horizontal position.

of Engraving ana Printing.
The annual report of Chief Graves, of the
Bureau Of Engraving and Printing, says that
during the past year 3S 040, 94s sheets of secur-
tiles were printed, or $685. III more than in
1887. OF United States notes, gold and silver
certificates, bonds and national bank notes,
10,649,54S sheets, representing a face value of
$46l ,4y5, $50 were delivered. The appropria-
ton for the support OF the Bureau was S564, 03O,
and over 900 was turned into the Treasury
at the close Of the year.
The report recites the improvements made
in the bureau for the comfort of the employees
and alluding to the steam-power presses says:
"The steam-powerpl ate-printing presses have
continued In successful operation during the
year. The quality Of their work has steadily
improved, aud 1t eau now be said without
qualification that all Of 1t is equal to that done
on the hand presses.
'The steam presses are now printing much
more than one-third Of the work of the Bureau
with great economy u room, labor and ex-
pense. The cost OF the printing done by them
Is less than 1000. To print the same work
by hand would cost SlSO,O00, or $1,000 year
