Prevention Of Colds.

The author of late paper which was
read before the New York Homeopathic
Medical Society, declares that colds can be
prevented by developing the elasticity and
vigor of the skin. The skin should be pre-
pared to meet ana resist atmospheric cold by
systematic and regulated exposures to cold
treatment, which is easiest applied in the
bath. 1t is recommended to begin with
such temperature as is easily within the
reactive powers already present, when the
time of exposure is properly regulated, and
increase the demand for reactive effort as
the ability to respond become greater. It is
by a similar system that the muscles are
developed. A case in point was that of a
Boston man whose lungs, after an attack of
pneumonia, were thought to be too much
affected to bear another Northern winter.
After spending several winters in the South,
to the neglect of his business, he was hard
ened sufficiently for a Northern winter by
trunk and spine rubbings twice a day,
washing off with water gradually reduced
in two weeks time from 80 Fahrenheit to 20
Fahrenheit, and maintained at this tempera-
ture all winter.

Experiments in Crr,rnl Walton.

A lady writes anonymously in recent
number of 'The Proceedings of the Society
for Physical Research" upon the phenomena
of crystal vision. The use of the crystal
for this purpose, though simple, has very
ancient and varied history. 1t consists in
gazing into a crystal, a drop Of water,
polished metal, gem, or even the finger
nail, and seeing there reflected certain ap-
pearances usually to be interpreted as of
prophetic significance The custom has
been widespread in the Orient, both in
ancient and modern times. It has been
found among savages, it has been counted
as an instrument of the devil, and it has
been honored by the learned before the
courts of princes. Like most of such Gus
toms, it has been surrounded with mystic
and religious proceedings, and its exercise
controlled by elaborate and fancifuI direc-
tions. Considering the function of the
crystal simply as q means of concentrating
the gaze, the writer in the article referred
to attempts to follow the course of
these visions by analogy with other hallu-
cinations, and regards them as consist
ing mainly of, first, "agter-images, or re-
crudescent memories, often rising thus, and
thus only, from the subconscious strata to
which they sink;' and second, "as object
ivations OF ideas or images consciously
or unconsciously in the mind of the percip-
lent" 1.-THE tendency OF the conscious
memory is so strongly in favor of picture
making, that we may naturally assume this
habit on the part of that which is latent or
subconscious." These remarks are fol-
lowed and confirmed by the actual exper-
ience of the lady in question, who appears
to have brought much intelligence. to bear
upon her investigations. The conclusion
arrived at is that just as much of the mys-
terry that surrounds the mesmeric phenom-
ens fall away when men looked for their
explanation, not in some peculiar gift of
the mesmerist, but in the pyschophysic con-
stitution of the subject, so the phenomena
connected with crystal vision become psy-
chologically rational when we seek their
explanation, not in the magic properties of
the crystal, but in the mind of the seer.

New Use of Mica.

Mica is mineral that has attracted some
attention for the past few years in the
Southern States, particularly in North
Carolina, and large mica mines are now be-
ing developed in South Carolina. The
principal use to which the mineral has been
put heretofore, is for stove doors and decor
atiVe purposes, such as bronzing, wall
papering, etc. When properly prepared, it
can be used for variety of purposes, and
the discovery of this fact has led to the in
vention of machinery and processes TOR its
special handling. This result is probably
mainly owing to its adaptability as lubri-
cant for railway purposes, where its value

A company has been formed with facilities
ior pulverizing about i've tons of mica

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPArcH.1
NEWPORT, KY, November 16.-Robert
Waring, an ex-banker. and perhaps the
wealthiest man in this city, has been bit
terly opposed to the marriage of his SON
Robert and Miss Belle Metcalf. Miss
Metcalf is remarkably pretty girl, and
thorough lady. Her mother is a poor
widow. The elder Warnings only objection
TO his sons afianced was her poverty. He
declared the girl was mercenary, and only
sought to obtain his money. He said that un-
der no circumstances should she get dol
lar of it. He told his sou that marriage
with Miss Metcalf meant disinheritance.
The young man, who is the Junior partner
in prosperous firm in Cincinnati, decided
he could paddle his own canoe, and last
evening the young couple slipped off to
Hamilton, o., and were quietly married.
On their return this morning, and while
driving to the brides home at an early hour,
by quiet street, young Waring surprised
his father coming out of a prominent
widows house. In the explanation that
followed, it transpired that the old man
himself and the widow had been married
two months, having gone to an Ohio town
for their wedding. Under the circum-
stances, the old man concluded to forgive
the boy and his bride.

The Coming Electric Fire Engine.

Present indications point to the adoption
of the electric fire engine in the near future.
The combination of the electric motor and
the pump would supply want that is con-
stantly arising, that of portable engine for
mills, factories, etc. A small electric motor
attached to a suitable pump. such COM
blnation as has been produced by several of
the motor companies, mounted upon light
truck, that can be easily moved to any part
of factory by two or three men, and there
connected to the hydrant and to electric
terminals, and used to throw water to any
part of the building, ought to find extensive
use in the manufacturing districts of the
country especially. Such an apparatus
need not weigh more than few hundred
pounds at most, and might in many cases,
should necessity demand it, be manipulated
and put to work by the night watchman
alone, and an incipieut fire could be extin-
guished before an alarm had called out the
city fire department, only to find that the
headway gained in the meantime would
cause the destruction of the building.

u.e Of Oil on Rough seas.

With the approach of winter storms it is
incumbent upon navlgators to note the many
instances where serious danger and damage
have been avoided by using oil to prevent
heavy seas from breaking on board. There
many cases where oil can be used to advan-
tage, such as lowering and hoisting boati,
riding to q sea anchor, crossing rollers or
surf on barand from lifeboats and stranded
vessels. Thick and heavy oils are the best.
Mineral oils are not 50 effective as animal or
vegetable oils. Raw petroleum has given
favorable results, but it is not 50 satisfactory
when refined. Certain oils, like cocoanut

Ice Age of America.

One of the most interesting of recent con-
tributiOns Of archaeological interest is Prof.
Wright's lecture on the "Ice Age of Amer
ica." Prof Wright shows that the whole
backbone of Long Island is formed of gla-
cial deposits, and he takes his hearers all
along the moraines that mark the furthest
points touched by the wonderful field of
ice. The lecture concludes with descrip-
ton of the small stone god recently brought
up by sand pump near Boise City, Idaho,
from a depth of 800 feet. He and many
other scientists think it is the oldest mark
of human life that has yet been discovered,
and believe it to be the work of the ante
diluyian man.

SCIENTIFIC AND INDUSTRIAL NOTES


PREPARED FOR THE DISPATCH!
Readers of The DISPATCH who desire
information on subjects relating to indus
trial development and progress in mechani-
cal, civil and electrical engineering and the
sciences can have their queries answered
through this column.
The use of petroleum in the arts is ex-
tending rapidly. Used originally for
Illuminating purposes, it is now employed
as fuel for heating furnaces and steam
boilers; as working agent in heat engines
and as a lubricant it stands unrivaled. AS
an illuminant, even in Great Britain, it is
to large extent superseding every other in
private houses. As fuel it is especially con-
venient, cleanly and economical. Stored in
tanks of suitable construction, it is sprayed
into the furnace without labor and without
creating dust and dirt; and it is especially
convenient in locomotive and marine work
on account of the rapidIty, ease and cleanli-
ness with which it can be run into the ten
der or into the oil bunkers of the ship. AS
working agent in these engines it
is employed In two ways; first as q
vapor. generated from the liquid petro-
leum contained in the boiler, very much in
the same way as the vapor of water is used
in an engine with surplus condenser, the
fuel for producing the vapor being also pc
troleum. Very signal success has been OBJ
tanned in this mode of using mineral oil,
especially for marine purposes and for en-
gines OF small power; there seems to be no
doubt that by using highly volatile spirit
in the boiler, given amount of fuel will
produce double the power obtalnable by
other means, and at the same time the ma
chinery will be lighter and will occupy less
space than if steam were the agent used.
The other method is to inject a very fine
spray of hot oil, associated with proper
quantity of air, into the cylinder of an or
dinary gas engine, and ignite it there by
means of an electric spark or other suitable
agency. It is hardly necessary to state the
use of petroleum for furnace purposes of all
kinds is increasing very rapidly, not only
abroad but in this country.

A California Rabbi. Drive.

The rabbit scourge. which has reduced
such large tracts of land in Australia to
barrenness, is now threatening parts OF Cali
fornia with similar effects. In Fresno
county these vermin have become so numer-
Gus and destructive to the farmers that the
wholesale determination of them is impera-
tive. 1t is estimated that five rabbits con-
sumo as much as one sheep. They are par
ticularly fond of the grape vines, fruit trees,
corn and other grain. A drive has been
made by stretching fine wire netting about
three feet high and seven miles in length,
V-shaped, terminating at the smaller end in
a circular corral. One of the drives re-
suited in the death of Il, 200 rabbits.

PoI.oninr by TInned ProrI.Ion..

The use of an acid fux for soldering the
inside of provision tins is serious source of
danger to health, while the resin fux COM
municates its taste to the contents of the
can. In France and Germany all tins con-
tanning articles of food have to be soldered
on the outside, and attempts have been
made to wholly abolish inside soldering in
the United States, but they have not yet
been entirely successful. The first danger
from the inside surface Of solder is the
direct solvent action of an acid fluid on. the
lead, when acid vegetables or fruit are pre-
served without syrup. The second source
of danger is galvanic action. The reputa-
ton of the American sardine as at present
put up is not good, and attempts are being
made to improve it. Hitherto, although
the label has been French, in many cases
the contents were not sardines, nor were they
put up in huile d'olive ct pure, but in cot
tonseed oil, and serious cases of poisoning
after they had been eaten have been re-
ported.
