parties gave bond and was permitted to go

Only regret at leaving Washington was that
she could not bring her Knabe piano with
her, but when assured that the Knabe would

POPULAR SCIENCE.

By means of an air gun, Prof. c. L.
Mees has found that to drive Straws
into pine boards and hickory bark, as
is often done by tornadoes, Il velocity
of $50 to liz miles al hour is nccC5-
Sary.
SUGAR has frequently been recon-
mendcd as a means of preventing
boiler incru8tation. Recent expert
ments have shown that formic acid is
generated by such use, attacking the
iron of the boiler.
SOMETIMES the lampWick will obs
tinately refuse to be turned up in an
orderly manner. II Will seem firmly
wedged at one side. while the other

quite tractable when introduced into

THERE is, as Prof Thompson re-
marks. no assignahlc 'vclocity of cleo
tricity," as this must vary with the
current and the conductor. Wheat
stone in 1888, seemed to show a trans
mission velocity of 2SS 900 miles Il sec
ond through copper wire; but i'll late
experiments signals were sent over or
binary telegraph wires on poles, and
had a rate of only 1900 to $4,000
miles. With wires near the earth the
velocity was 1900 miles, but reached
$4,000 on very high wires.
IT is generally supposed that pneu-
monia is due to the accidental pcnetra-
ton of specific microbes into the sys-
TEN, but the observations of NJ. JAG
coud, a French student of the subject,
show that the disease really results
from the development, under favorable
conditions, of microhic germs perma-
nently present in the system. \ chief
condition Of such development is sud-
den chill, which explains the frequent
coincidence of lung affections with alb
rupt changes of temperature.
