The Flow of Solids.

Some characteristic investigations
have been made by a German chemist,
relating to the flow of solids. The sub
stances experimental with were taken
in the form of fine powder and sub
jected in steel mold to pressures vary
ing from 1000 and 1000 atmospheres
per square centimeter. Lead filings
under pressure of 2,000 atmospheres
were transformed into a solid block,
which no longer showed the slightest
grain under the microscope, and the
density of which was lis, while that of
ordinary lead is 11.S only; under 5000
atmospheres, the lead became fluid and
ran out through the interstices of the
apparatus; toward 5000 atmosphers zinc
and tin appeared to liquify. Powders
of zinc and bismuth at 5000 to 1000 at
mospheres became solid blocks of a
crystalline fracture; powders of soft
and of prismatic sulphur were trans
formed into solid blocks of octahedric
sulphur; red phosphorus appeared to
pass into the dense state of black phos-
phorus; binoxide of manganese and the
sulphides of zinc, in powder, weld when
compressed, and exhibit the appearance
respectively of natural crystalizei pyro-
| lusite, blende and galena.-N. Y. Sun.

The New Hypnotic. paraidehyde.

In his published experience with tho
use of paraldehyde, Dr. Clouston, Of
Edinburgh, expressed decided prefer.
ence for it as compared with any pure
hypnotic, the fact being that very often
the patient is asleep in five minutes
after the drug is given. 1t is very rare
that it produces disagreeable effects,
there being no interference with the
appetite for food the next morning, nor
disturbance of the stomach or bowels,
and in some cases it restores to the
brain the habit of sleep, with the addi-
tional advantage that it may be discon-
tinued without leaving a drug habit.
DIR. Clouston found its administration
to be of no use, but rather injurious,
when resorted to in the daytime. The
dose varies largely according to the
case, but too small doses have a tenden-
cy to excite the patient In very many
cases of confirmed insomnia, melan-
cholia, and in acute mania. three or
even four drains are required for pro-
ducing the desired effect, and in cases
of mania DR.. Ciousten often adds a
dram OF one Of the bromides to the
evening dose Of paraidehYde, Lon len

FISHING FOR PEARLS.
The Divers in Bahrcin Are Mostly slaves
from Africa.

from Africa.
The pearl fishery is the great occupa-
ton Of the Bahreinee. The pearls of
their seas are celebrated for their firm
ness and do not peel. They are COM
monty reported to lose one per cent
annually for fifty years in color and
water and after that they remain the
same. They have seven skins, whereas
the Cingalese pearls have only six.
The merchants generally buy them
wholesale by the old Portuguese
weight of the Chdo. They divide them
into different sizes with sleeves and sell
them in India, so that, as is usually the
case with specialties, it is impossible to
buy good pearl in Bahrein.
Diving here is exceedingly primitive;
all the necessary paraphernalia are a
loop Of rope and stone to 60 down
with, a curious horn thing to hold the
nose, and oil for the oriflce of the ears.
Once merchant brought with him q
diving apparatus, but the divers were
highly indignant and, leaguing against
him, refused to show the best banks. In
this way the fisheries suffer. for the
best pearls are in the deeper waters,
which can only be visited late in. the
season. The divers are mostly negro
slaves from Africa; they do not live
long, poor creatures, developing awful
sores and weak eyes and they live and
die entirely without medical aid-Corn-

is asked by his relatives and friends if
he intends to return. II he says he does
not, he is allowed to die in peace, but If

or smother him to hasten his death.
The Thibetans have no regard for age,
and the elders and parents have no
