An Appreciative Animal.

\ Georgia journal is responsible for
the following: A handsome and intelli-
gent collie dog belongs to John Bones
Moore, of Augusta. and makes his
home with him for the most part.
During the September freshet the dog
was caught by the high tide In Broad
street, and, though a good swimmer,
he could not make headway against
the swift current surging down Broad
way. He caught in some brush or tim
bers near Landram S Buffers store,
and while there IN durance and in COLI
siderable peril, he was rescued by Mr..
Landram, taken 10 the second door and
fed for two or three days until after the
wattr subsided. Collie then went on
his way rejoicing. So far the honors
ore in fav, OF Mr.. Landram; and now
comes the story OF dogs appreciation
and rare intelligence. Every day since
the flood that dog has trotted around
from Greene street, in fact, twice each
day, and rush ng past clerks and Gus
toners, he calls on Mr.. Landram and
salutes him with grinning tee h and
bowling head and wagging tail. He
then curlS up at his feet, goes to sleep,
and, after his nap, bows again and re-
turns home. This interchange of civ.
ilitieS between man and dog is always
Interesting. And the story does not
stop here. Last fall Mr.. Landram
went North to purchase his regular
stock of dry goods, and as soon as the
dog noticed his absence from the store
he so Ight some other way of showing
his gratitude. And here is the strang-
est part of the wonderful story: AL
though the dog had never been known
before to stop at Mr.. Landram'S house,
he took up his station that night on the
back piazza of the residence, and there
he remained till the cook came in the
morning to open the house. Collie then
left, satisfied that all was right: and
this nightly visit and guard lie main
tained until his daily visits TO the store
told him that Mr. Landram was back
home to protect his own house at
night.

4 ne,1 source of electricity has been
discovered by Professor Braun. of
Tubingen. Hitherto it was found i'm
p .ssible to transform mechanical work
direct into electricity. The German
professor says that he has succeeded in
dong this. Physicists have known for
some time that currents may be pro-
duced in metal wires by bending them.
Professor Braun has found that nickel
wire develops the strongest currents by
winding it into spiral and connecting
its ends with delicate measuring ap-
paratus (multiplicator). The p inter
of the multiplication detected consider
ably according as the spiral was elon-
gated or compressed, showing that
relatively strong currents were created !;
tie current flowing duElng the elonga-
ton of the spiral i'll a direction opposite
to that in which the wire had been run
i'll its passage through the draw plate.
The interest in the phenomena observed
will he enhanced as soon as there Is a
prospect of increasing the strength OF
the currents to degree which will ren-
der them available for practical pur-
poses. As Professor Braun has sue
ceeded in putting in circuit a number
of spirals like gBlvanic elements, and
thus obtaining stronger currents, there
is a probability of constructing engines
which will perform useful work.

SCIENTIFIC.

The Man,tfacrurer-s Gdzette prints
the following in relation TO new mo-
tor, the Possor locomotive:
unlike other motors propeiied py
steam. II is noiseless, smokeless, anu
shows no offensive ste I'm. Ihe lnVen-
tor. Mr.. Treat L. ProSser, of Chicago,
is weil-known civil engineer ana
steam expert. Briefly stated, the IN
vention consists of an ordinary hign
pressure boiler with four small engines,
soarranged that they make complete
balance on each truck, and up 10 the
point of exhaust they do their work In
the ordinary way, but instead OF ex-
haus ing into the open air, with the
putting sound and cloud OF white
steam so dangerous to rest'Ye horses,
the exhaust Is in a condenser suspended
under the platform of the car, and IN
such a manner that it Is neither seen
nor heard. This condensation is
effected by robbing the steam of por-
tion of its heat by air passing rapidly
through the open tubes, and the con-
densed water IS pumped back Into
high-pressure boiler. there to be again
converted into steam, saving botn heat
and water. Wood, coke or hard coal
can be used, and very little smoke Is
perceptible. Traction wheels are used
on the truck, giving great advantage
over the ordinary locomotive. Ihls
combination motor will seat thirty
passengers, and will draw one or more
ordinary laden street cars. 1t Is SAID
that the new principle can be applied to
all machinery where steam is the mo
tive power either on land or sea-" a
public exhibition of its workings is
soon to he given on the tramways of
Lowell, Mass, which it is expected
large number of men interested in
rapid transit will witness

The SIMPLEST way to moderate the
glare of the light of incandescent
lamps without losing too much of its
lighting power is, according to the
EtectriSche Anzeiger, to give the globes
a thin coating of collodIon- With a
little practice the uniform distribution
of the collodion over th- whole surface
is soon achieved. BESIDES simplicity
and cheapness this method presents the
additional advantage that the coat Is
easy To remove with water. In con-
ueSIon with this communication the
PoIgtschntsch. SOtisJiitt recommends
TO paint the lamps over with a SOLUTION
Of a salt. whereby they are covered by
A coat of fine crytals. These innum-
erable CRY s ais effect q diffusion of the
light without materially diminishing
IIs intensity. salts OF lead and tin are
thought to be the most suitable for this
purpose, but CtIer materials may he
found more convenient.

Fully % persons in every 100, if askel
to name the most precious metals,
would mention gold as first, platinum
as second and siv,r as third. If asked
to name others, few might add nickel,
and very few aluminium, to the list.
Let US see how near to the truth they
would be. Gold is worth about S24O
per pound, troy; platinum, S130, and
silver about Sl2. Nickel would be
| quoted at about 90 cents, and pure
aluminium IS 10 50 TO the troy pound.
We will now compare these prices
with those of the rarer and less well
known of the metals. To take them In
alphabetical order, barium sells for 500
pound, when it is sold at all, and
calcium is worth $500 a pound. Ceri-
um is a shade higher-Its cost is Sl60 an
ounce, or 1920 a pound.
Theae beg.n to look like fabulous
prices, but they do not reach tie high
est point; chromium brings $1,000.
cobalt falls to about half the price OF
silver, while didymium is the same
price as cerium, and erbium $40 cheaper
on the ounce than calcium, or Just
Sl6SS per pound.
Glucinum is worth $3.50 per ounce:
indium, Sl5S, iridium, S65S a pound
itR1 @'AaCB slbA A4Nl4ulI. glOl
per ounce. Nioblum costs SIS per
ounce, asmium, palladium, platinum,
potassium and rhodium bring respec-
lively S64O, S4O0, S13O, S32 and $512
per pound. Strontium costs SIPS an
ounce; tantaum, Sl44; telurium, 50
thorium, 1912; vanadIum, S32O; ytt-
rum, Sl44, and zIrconium. $3.50 an
ounce.
Thus We see that the commonly re-
eived opinion as 10 what are the most
precious metals is gu te erroneus.
BAIium IS more than four times as
va liable as god, and gallium more
than 162 times as costly, while many
of the metals are twice and thrice as
valuable. Aluminium, which now
costs s. or 50 a pound, vii eventually
be produced as cheaply as steel. Wher
this can be done 1t will push the latte
metal out of great many of its pres
ent uses, as it possesses great strength
toughness and elasticity, with extreme
| lightness of weight. Its sources o.
supply are ineXhaustible, and its preSen
! high cost arises from the difficulty G.
! its extraction in metallic form. IrI
| dunn seems to be chiefly used fol
| pointing gold pens, and many of the
metals mentioned have but limited
| sphere of usefulness.
