Now Decorative Process.

A new process by which artistic designs
can be photographed on paper. cotton cloth,
velvet and other fabrics, is becoming the
"crnze" in England, as any lady can, by its
means, take any white fabric and print
upon it designs to suit her own taste, and in
which pressed leaves will serve instead of a
transparency for the production of many
effects. At recent meeting OF the Photo
graphic Society (England) a well-known
photographer printed different leaf patterns
upon different parts of piece of white cot
ton cloth. He then developed the different
patterns with various developers by apply
ing each of the latter locally with brush;
the result was pretty series of designs in
variegated colors upon one piece OF cloth.
The colors at present obtainable by the use
OF developers in the process are red, orange,
purple and maroon; by mixing the purple
and orange developers an unsatisfactory
kind of an approach to green is said to have
been obtained. Developers to yield blues
and greens with this process have yet to be
discovered,

SQueakinR Sand,

There has of late been considerable dis
cussion on the subject of sonorous sand,
which is found in numerous places in this
country and elsewhere. The old theory
that the sounds are produced by rubbing to-
gether of millions of clean sand grains very
Uniform in size, appears to explain very
ieasibly musical sand, but the explanation
does not so well apply to squeaking sand,
which is known to exist. These two classes
of sounds produced by disturbing sand are
both undoubtedly due to vibrations. One
sound is caused by the attrition of the
particles, and has q harsh character
BY no means musical, which, in rare
cases, becomes a loud squeak. The
second is caused by oscillations of the par
ticIes themselves protected from actual con-
tact by elastic air cushions, and this is de-
cidedly musical in tone. Musical sand
yields notes by friction only when dry;
squeaking sand yields harsh, shrill 50 ueak
(reminding one of the cry of guinea fowl
best when moist This latter is yerv rare.
Out of 800 specimensof sand from all round
the world, while musical sand seemed to BE-
comparatively common. only two samples
OF squeaking sand were found to have been
taken from places in this country; thev
were both so-called boiling springs, one was
in Maine and the other in Kansas. A yery
small quantity of squeaking sand pressed
between the thumb and forefnger produces
when wet peculiar shrill squeak-a phe-
nomenon which is well explained by the at
triton theory.

In the history OF attempts at prolonging
the life Of timber some very curious exnedi-
ents are met with. In 1886 DR.. Boucberie
a French chemist, tried to impregnate tim.
Der by vital suction, that is, by tapping
the tree and allowing the ascending sap to
carry up preserving solution. This, how
ever, did not give satisfactory results. and
In place II cap was supplied to the end
Os a newly-cut log, and the solution forced
along the sap ducts by hydraulic pressure.
Sulphate OF copper was the chemical used.
and when Ii was applied TO newly felIed
timber it gave good results. Lime water
has been tried, and also salt, but the effects
have not been such as to encourage the
repetition of the treatment. There
is a strip OF road in the Union
Pacific Railroad, in Wyoming, where
the sleepers do not decay at all The
analysis of the soil shows that it contains
sodium, potassium, chloride, calcium and
iron, which act as preserving agents. An
inventor named Foreman brought out a pro-
cess by which dry arsenic aud corrosive
sublimate were inserted in holes in sleepers,
and covered with plugs. The materials be-
come dissolved and efioresced on the
surface, when the cattle licked them and
d.ed by scores. The farmers rose in arms
and iorced the railroad company to burn all
the sleepers. One of the best of recently
devised methods of preserving timber con-
Eists simply in soaking the timber in melted
napnthailne Tor a period varying from Q
to u hours, depending upon the bulk of
the piece. A temperature OF 1860 TO 1000
Fahrenheit is all that is required for the
process, and is most easily obtained bv plac-
ing steam pipes In the bottom of the tank
which contains the material Simple as the
process is 1t possesses a still more valuable
feature. 1t can be applied to green timber
thus obyiating the necessity of long and
expensive process of seasoning. The uapb-
thaline peuetrates the pores Of the wood, de-
composing the albumenoid compounds and
dlsplacing both sap and water. 1t then be-
comes fixed and the whole substance is per-
meated with solid autiseptic of a permanent
character. This process has ior some time
been employed in England, from which
come excellent accounts OF its effectiveness,
but there seems no reason why it should not
be adopted IN this country, where the gigau-
tic drain OF recent years is telling on the
timber supply, and where, at last, serious at
tention is being given to preservative pro-
cesses.

Naval Electrical Corps.

The idea recently advanced by Lieuten-
ant Bradley A. Fiske that the exigencies of
any future war would demand q supply Of
skilled and specially trained electricians to
supplement the work OF the regular army
aud navy of this country. has beeL adverted
to by Secretary Tracy in his report of the
new American navy. In alluding to the
advantage of providing place in the ranks
of the naval militia for persons of special
requirements demanded by the service, but
of character somewhat outside of the ordi-
nary scope of professional training, be draws
attention TO the growing use of electricity
on shipboard, and shows how necessary it is
that naval officers should acquire q certain
familiarity with the principles of electrical
applications. The fact remains, however,
that it is quite impossible that the greater
part of them can become expert electricians
without sacrificing efficiency in other
branches of their profession of even more
pressing importance.
Secretary Tracy says that this want would
be met by the formation of corps OF naval
electricians in the different States having
naval militias, the advantages of the special
training of which such corps would thus be
able to avail themselves of. By this means
a large, enthusiastic, and highly intelligent
body would be established, familiar with all
the needs Of modern warfare, and able to
handle naval vessels effectively in time of
war. In time of peace such corps would be
OF the utmost service in fitting out new
vessels with electrical apparatus and in tax
ing charge of the electrical plant on board
ships in commission. The number of
officers available in an emergency would
thus be increased as those now detailed to
electrical work could be assigned to other
duties,

The Episcope,

The episcope is a new device for utilizing
the electric light in connection with stere-
opticon for projecting pictures on screen.
The great advantage of this mode of pre-
sentation is that the object can be shown
without any previous preparation of slides
or other auxiliary appurtenances. The
views are merely the enlargement of pictures
on glass, and the reflection of solid mass
can, by means of the new device, be readily
thrown on the screen magnifed many hun
dred times. The advantages of such an ap-
paratus as this in physiological lectures,
where the closest intimacy with the various
organs and parts of the human body is i'm
perative, can we'll be understood, and Prof
Stricken has for some time used the episcope
in his lectures at the University OF Vienna,
The apparatus is, in many respects, micro
scope on a large scale, as it can receive an
object weighing as much as, and of the same
size as, a dog of IL pounds. 1t is used Tor
showing the pulsations of the heart and the
functions of other vital organs, and the
student can now derive the fullest benefit
from his course of lectures from the fact
that the minutest details, which formerly
could b. only described, can now be made
the objects of closest scrutiny and accurate
observation

Sand and salt boxes and track scrapers
must be got ready. and In oyerhauling The
trucks special eve must be kent on wheel
that has been worn a number of seasons and
is getting light. To try to get more wear
out of it is poor economy, as some morning,
when it is full of frost and goes into curve
it may break and create damage the cost Of
which to the company will be greater than
that of the equipment of the entire cars of
the line with new wheels. Make a personal
inspection of every brake chain and rod on
the line, and be sure that every link is
strong. Gears and pinions must be taken
off when they have worn down to certain
thickness, whether they look "like wearing
few days more" or not, and thus provision
is made against a break which will ruin
gear that might have been good for a
month or two. When all these precautions
are taken, and the salt, coal and sand bius
are filled, the superintendent feels that the
blizzard has no particular terrors for him,
and he can regard with complacency the
worst that the weather bureau can do in the
way of daily bulletins.

Tho Path of Storms.

A method is now on trial at the meteoro-
logical Office at Stockholm, which seems
likely to throw some light on subject which
hitherto has been attended with much un-
certainty, namely, the determination of the
path taken by storms. From the telegraphic
weather reports, tables of the density OF the
atmosphere have been constructed, and
other data been collected which have been
embodied in special charts. These charts
are found to give much more reliable clue
to the movements and origin of cyclones
than the usual method of the comparison OF
the isobars and isotherms alone. The latest
investigations show that storms move in the
direction of the warmest and dampest air,
parallel to the lines of equal density, leaving
the purer air to the right hand.

Winter on the Street Railway.

a provident street railway superintendent
tells how upon the approach Of winter be
makes sure that his company's property is
equal to all possibilities of rough weather
and hard usage. Armed with note book
and pencil he goes over the entire line, not
ing all broken and impaired rails or FISH,
plates and all places where the track has
sunk and water and ice may soon cause
trouble. In one place it is likely that a
paving stone may be so high as 10 be in the
way OF the snow plough, and in other places
the roadbed has been so laid that when frost
comes it will hit the motor pan. These notes
are given TO the foreman and attended to in
due course. The supervision of the over
head line involves the loosening for cold
weather of strain guys that have been kept
tsut all summer, the resoldering of
ears, the putting on Of new insu-
Istors, the painting Of arms, etc.

the flesh of animals is often scarce and dith-
cult to procure. The use of cola nuts to rem
der water palatable may be compared to
those Of olives in many countries, olives,
rs is well known, being used to enhance the
flavor OF whatever is eaten after them. On
the other hand the power said to be pos
sessed BY cola nuts of staying the cravings
of hunger, and of enabling those who eat
them to endure prolonged labor without
fatigue, is similar to that ascribed to the
leaves OF the coca plant OF Ecuador and
Peru, which seems to play in those coun-
tries the same part that the cola nut does

Give the Central a Chance.

1t is not generally borne in mind by the
irate telephone subscriber, when complain
ing of bad service, that the telephone, more
than any other electrical appliance in daily
use, requires a certain knowledge, on the
part Of the user, of its construction, and the
elementary principles of the production and
reception of sound by the human voice and
ear. When we send telegram or turn on
the electric light, or call message, no spe-
cial knowledge of the means employed is
necessary. We write out a message, hand
1t In and pay the charge, and we know that
a written copy Will be handed out at the
other end. With the electric light we turn
a switch, and the light appears or disappears,
as the case may be. According to the bye
word of the day, we press the button and the
company does the rest.
With the telephone it is different. Every
man who uses the instrument becomes III 4
certain sense a telephone operator. ana in
order to get the best results he ought to
know something about the machine he is
using, and how it works, and also about his
own voice and ear. Some people stand away
from the transmitter and waste the air
vibrations they set up when speaking on the
surrounding air Others below into the
mouthpiece and Oiterary) rattle" the trans
mitter. Others ring the bell after the con-
nection is made, because their correspondent
stops to think a moment, and thereby give
central the signal to take the connection
down; central is then roundly abused for
cutting off the connection. Many people
think. that telephone wires pick up noises
going on round about them, aid that they
kept away from railways to avoid being af-
fected by the trains. In reality, they are
only disturbed by heavy currents on neigh
boring wires, and not at all by mere me-
chanical Interruptions; the presence of tele-
graph wires on all railroads explains the
absence of the telephone lines, which would
be rendered unworkable by the mysterious
induced" currents that the busy telegraph
lines would produce in them.
