CreosotinR Of Wood.

Large quantities of wood for railway pur-
poses are creosoted in France. The sleepers
are first seasoned in the open air and then
aided and bored by a special machine,
loaded on trucks and run into drying oven,
where they remain "a hours or more. After
drying at a temperature of about 176o
Fahrenheit, they are run into metal cylin-
Ger feet 8 inches in diameter, and Sc feet
long, which is Theoretically closed. The air
is then exhausted, and partial vacuum is
maintained for about half an hour Com
munication is then opened with reservoirs of
dead oil, which is allowed to flow at a
temperature of 176o Fahrenheit. under
pressure, and this pressure is atterward in
creased by a iorcepump to So pounds per
square inch, and is maintained for over an
hour. The wood used is principally oak
and beech, the oak sleeperS absorbing from
"a TO 81 quarts per cubic foot, and the beech
sleepers from 81 to 10 quarts. The whole
opera lion occupies about four hours. In
testing the question of durability it was
found Uhat after - years service the sleepers
taken Out by the Eastern Railway Company
OF France have been 10 per cent for creosoted
oak and % per cent for creosoted beech.

A Belgian chemist is said to have devised
q method Of rendering fabrics proof against
the ravages OF decay fora ind, finite period.
Noting the fact that resin played an i'm
portant part in the won derful preservation
of Egyptian mummies, lie made numerous
experiments with substances extracted from
birch bark, to which the peculiar aroma of
Russia leather is due. He found that the
green tar which is left over after the oil
used in tanning has been extracted from the
white bark Of the birch tree yields neither
acid nor alkaloid, and that j q solution with
alcohol it forms a LIQUID of remarkable
fiuidity, which has the power of resisting.
when dry, the action of even alcohol. 1t is
claimed that this preservation possesses the
property Of uniting with the most delicate
and brilliant colors, and rendering them
apparently impeushable.

The usual method of disinfecting drains ID
simply to pour the disinfectant down and
leave it to do the best it can for itself. An
apparatus, named the "microbolizer," is
now used in England, which leaves nothing
to chance in the matter of perfect disinfec-
tion. The apparatus consists of a small
hand pump ftted with flexible suction and
delivery hose. When in use the suction is
connected with pail or other vessel con-
tanning the disinfectant, and the delivery
which is perforated for certain portion of
its lengths inserted in the pipe or drain
to be cleansed. The apparatus is simple in
construction, and can be used by any do
mestic servant. 1t is capable of pumping
from 10 to II gallons per minute of disinfect-
ing fluid with great force over the internal
surface of the pipes, remoying the impure
matter and washing it away into the main
sewer or cesspool. 1t is made entirely, Of
copper and gun metal, so as to be free from
rust and chemical action, and is fitted with
a novel form Of jet distributor, with spigots,
which, being flexible, can be passed through
any drain pipe or winding drain. A smaller
form is made for use by female for cleans
ing and disinfecting sink pipe. 1t will
force any stoppage in the sink or other pipe
without fear of bursting it.

The English Industries states that novel
Industry, resting strictly on chem ical prin-
ciples, and needing nothing but a little
capital and dash of dishonesty to develop
it, is said to be practiced in Florida. 1t
consists in avoiding dependence upon the
slow and imperfect ripening OF lemons by
the suns rays, by picking the fruit while
green and exposing it to the umes of burn
ing sulphur, whereby its color is changed to
a rich golden yellow, infinitely more attract
i've than the natural hue "It is true that
the interior of the lemon is practically rec
from juice, a fact which the hypercriticaI
might reckon slight drawback; but this is,
after all, trivial matter, affecting only the
consumer" is the salve applied to the con-
science.

pavRmeuts in paris

Considerable attention has been recently
paid by the city authorities of Paris to ex-
perimeuts of various kinds of paving, nota-
bly, wooden and asphalt, but so far granite
and macadam seem to be the most favorably
regarded. Macadam pavement in Paris is
restricted to streets where few vehicles pass
and 10 drives in the public parks, such as
the BOis du Boulogne. In repairing such
roads OF late years it has been customary in
some places to mix old asphalt fragments
with the broken stone The results, as re-
CARDS wearing qualities, show little improve
ment over the unmixed stone. The great
advantage Of the process lies in the fact that
such pavement keeps remarkably clean
during the dry weather and does not become
so muddy as the true macadam style during
rainy seasons. In the middle of summer,
however, an unpleasant odor arises and the
surface has dirty, black color.

Concerning the speed of English railway
travelling, Julian Ralph says: sis it true
that there is faster travelling in England
than here? Yes, there is faster trains and
more of them. The run from London to
Liverpool is 200 miles, and it is made in 225
minutes or at the rate of mile in a minute
and q seconds, which, when the stops are
taken into account, is very nearly an
average of a mile q minute. The run to
Edinburgh on two railroads is made in the
same time. These are world-famous in
stances, but they are by no means the only
ones.
Mr.. Ralph gives a very clear explanation
Of the cause of the perfection in English
railroad building. England is a small
country densely populated. Her cities were
built up before the roads were constructed,
and to construct them was to make certain
of enormous traffic. From end to end En-
gland is only 365 miles long; from side to
side, at the brOadest part, it is only 26O miles
wide. Illinois and England are about the
same size. Building railroads there was a
different thing from building them here.
Their profits naturally 60 toward perfecting
their plants, as ours have gone toward
lengthening our systems out into the West.
Our railroads have mainly developed their
own business, while theirs had their busi-
ness already developed and awaiting them.
A comparison of English business with ours
shows that England In 50 years has built
only Is, 600 miles of railroad, but in 1882
those roads carried 56S, ,OOo, 600 passengers.
We in so years have built $50, 900 miles OF
railroads. but in 1885 we carried only 351,-
100000 passengers. In those facts and hg-
ures hes reason enough for the superiority of
the English railroad plant. ''Give us the
same conditions. " adds Mr.. Ralph, "and we
viii do as we'll"

A Nailless Horseshoe.

The periodical nailless horseshoe has
cropped up again. The latest form Of it can
be secured firmly to the hoof without either
nails or screws. 1t is provided with clip
ping plates, or Aanges, which project up
ward at an inclination from the base of the
shoe, which latter is open at the back, the
opening being bridged by clamping screw.
The shoe is applied to the hoof, and the
fanges are dressed down upon it. The
screw at the back is then operated to bind
the shoe firmly to the hoof. Split or cracked
hoois are thus done away with. The shoes
can be put on in the morning and taken of
at night, thereby resting and cooling the
hoofs.

Card Sbuffiinr Machine,

A novelty which will be welcomed by all
but fortunately very limited section of the
community is a card shutting machine.
The action is quite simple. Two side
springs are grasped between the finger and
thumb of the left hand, and the cards are
placed with the right hand in receptacle
at the top of the machine. The springs are
released and the cards will automatically
shuttle themselves, the process being almost
instantaneous, and the shutting perfect.

Sparkle of the Diamond,

A jewelers. journal explains the ceaseless
motion OF the diamond, which is 50 unac-
countable to the uninitiated. The secret of
this motion is in the setting of the diamond,
and the method is patented. The patentee
is reaping a royalty of $50 from every man
ulscIuring jeweler to whom he sells the
privilege OF using it. The stone is set in
the usual manner, except that a band-like
appliance with rhodium tips is used. The
result is what scientists call condition of
unstable equilibrium, and the twinkling
goes on and greatly enhances the flashing
beauty of the gem.

CIenuiur Boilers With OIL,

It is stated that in recent experiments the
cleaning of boilers with oil has been found
economical and effective in preventing rust
scale, besides e1erting cleansing influence
on the pipes The best results were obtained
by the use of two quarts per week on boil
ers four feet in diameter, and IL feet long,
and three quarts a week for boilers five feet
in diameter. The kerosene is introduced
through quarter-inch branch to the sue
tion pipe of the feed pump, leading to the
vessel containing the oil, so that any quan-
tity, large or small, could be put into the
boiler simultaneously with the usual feed.

Tramcar Starter.

The strain put on street car horses every
time the car is started from a state of rest is
well known to be very severe, and to tell
heavily upon the life of the animal. The
devising of a means of giving an initial
start to the tramcar has been attempted by
several engineers, and is said to have at
length been successfully accomplished by
an English engineer. The principle of the
invention consists in utilizing the spring
power given off from the working of the
brake springs and storing that power for
the purpose of facilitating the re-starting of

Preserving Fence Posts.

A new method of preserving fence posts
has been adopted in Germany. The posts
to be treated are allowed to get thoroughly
dry, and are then placed for several days in
a tub of limewater, so that the end to be set
in the ground may be thoroughly saturated.
After removing them from the limewater
they are dried and then painted with dilute
sulphuric acid.

Stale Milk,

The New York Medical Journal draws at
tentlon to the fact that a preparation named
preservaline is being sold to milk dealers to
enable them, by adding it to their milk, to
palm off stale milk on their customers. It
is supposed to consist mainly of boric or
saIicylic acid. The persons concerned pro-
fess that the milk is not made injurious by
this procedure, but il is quite obvious that
conditions may arise under which the con-
trarv may be the case. 1t is fortunate that
the State Dairy Commission has taken the
matter up
