1t has been recently stated that prize Of
fered some years ago for the discovery OF
some means whereby the inexperienced
might at once determine whether in q given
case death had or had not occurred. was
won by physician who had discovered
that if light were placed behind the ha nd
OF the supposed dead person a scarlet tint
would be apparent where the fingers touched
each other if life was not extinct; and that
il no red glow was visible death had taken
place.
DR.. B. W. Richardson has written an
essay in which he states that although this
test has its value, it is not by any means to
be trusted az an unfaillng indication of life
or death. He gives the case OF person in
state of syncope to whom the test was
most carefully applied. Not the faintest
sign OF red coloration between the fingers
could be traced, yet the recovery of the
syncope was complete and was effected
without any artificial aid. Dr. Richardson
regards it as good test, but is of opinion
that more certain proofs are: the pulsation;
the respiratory murmur; pressure on veins;
the electric test for muscular irritability;
the ammonia hypodermic test; coagulation
of blood in the veins; rigor mortis, and de-
composition

The smokeban In War.

In the sham fight at Portsmouth in honor
Of the Emperor William, an advancing
column was so affected by the fumes of the
snlokeball which was used to raise cloud
OF impenetrable obscurity under which they
could advance, that the men had to keep
their hands to their noses to avoid suffoca-
ton. 1t is now proposed that the smoke
ball shall receive a further development.
1t has occurred to some military men that
instead of half suffocating their own troops,
it would be better to follow the example of
the Chinese pirates with their stinkpots, and
asphyxiate the enemy. A Vienna scientist
has accordingly invented bomb of such
power and virulence that everyone who is
within certain radius OF it when it ex-
plodes is rendered unconscious. Devices
such as these would soon mnd1fy the art of
war, and probably the next development will
be an anti-asphyxiating bomb, whose fumes
will neutralIze those Of the other 1t is said
that many years ago a scheme based on the
throwing OF poisonous gases over tract of
country, was put before the war Office in
England, for the purpose of devastating the
country in the face of an invading army,
but the agency employed was so terrible in
its effects, that it was not made public, and
was consigned to the secret records of the
war Office.

Irregular Working in Machinery,

A simple method has been devised by
means of which, in the midst of busy
workshop full of machiney in motion, any
special noise, even though slight, can be
distinguished and its origin traced. The
apparatus consists OF an ordinary india rub.
Der gas tube about yard in length; the
length may, however, be varied to suit the
nature of the Investigation. The tube is un-
provided with ear piece or bell. One end is
applied to the ear of the observer while the
other is moved about in order to explore the
seat OF the irregularity. Since the free ORR
flee of the tube is comparatively small and
is applied as closely as possible to the vi
brating surface, it practically receives only
those sonorous vibrations which are emitted
by this surface. Those who have to do with
machinery will find it especially useful for
observing noises due to Irregularities in the
working of small parts of machines, which
may be either difficult or dangerous to ap-
proach in any other way.

Like Tight Lacing in Women, They Are
Blamed for Much Suffering.
Brooklyn Citizen.1
There is much complaint among police
men at being forced to wear tight belts
while on duty. A number claim that their
livers are affected, and in consequence thereof
they are put to much expense in doctoring
themselves. A policeman in conversation
with reporter yesterday said that the
belts policemen are compelled to wear so
tight is the cause of the sickness in the de-
partment.
"a man who is in the least stout" said
he, suffers the most. In every station
house You will fnd men on sick leave. II
you investigate you will come to the con-
clusion that the belt and fancy club are at
the bottom of the trouble. The late DR..
Malone, when he was the department
surgeon, did away with It. He saw it was
detriment to the men, physically. During
his time he investigated the complaints Of
illness and traced them first to the tight
belt and then the club that Is attached to it.
The weight Of the club In time will cause
suffering"

RECENT PROGRESS IN PHOTOGRAPHY
rPREPARKD FOR THE DISPATCH. 1

The action OF Boston, in essaying to effect
on an elevated railway, the same successful
and profitable developments OF electrical
traction which it has accomplished on its
surface lines, is regarded with much inter-
est by electricians all over the country.
One of the greatest objections to elevated
railways has always been the use OF steam
locomotives, with their disagreeable accom-
paniments of noise, and smoke and cinders.
With the heavy locomotives, too, required
for steam traction a very cumbrous struct-
ure was needed, but with the use of elec-
trio cars, lighter and more ornamental con-
struction can be adopted. This new depart
ure of Boston seems likely to inaugurate in
city trayel an era long desired. 1t is now
mentioned as fact that a mile an hour bet
time is made in Boston by the surface eIec-
trio cars than in New York by the steam
cars of the elevated roads.
Among the prominent systems which in
volve the perlecting of modes of travelling
by electricity is the portelectric. The e1-
ploirers of this system have been steadily
carrying on operations for some time at their
experimental station in Dorchester Prof.
Dolbear, the electrician OF the Portelectric
Company, says that although, theoretically,
the car can travel on the track at the rate of
two miles a minute, the difficulties of the
existing conditions prevent the requirement
OF such speed. At recent test, to which
members of the electrical press were
invited, the force of these difficulties
were made manifest. A serious him
drance has been the adapting of the car to
the compound curve, made of grade and
curve of short radius, and on the day of the
test, besides the unfavorable conditions of
track and bearings, defective insulation,
coils of too low a resistance and excessive
humidity had to be contended with. In
spite of these, however. speed of go miles
an hour was obtained, and, in all proba-
bility, these drawbacks will all disappear
in actual work. The portelectric gives ex-
cellent promise of displaclng the pneumatic
system, especially for long distance work,
and when the technical difficulties referred
to have been overcome, there can"'be little
doubt of the commercial success of the sys-
tenn,

A Trim to the North Pole.

The belief in the possibility of successful
aerial navigation still retains its hold on the
minds Of many intelligent men. A French
scientist now proposes to make scientific
expedition to the North Pole. He proposes
to construct a balloon of lined silk, 30
meters in diameter, and having a cubic
capacity of IA, 121 meters. The balloon will
be covered with a special varnsh, which
will Insure its absolute imperviousness. It
will be filled with pure hydrogen, and its
car will be constructed on a novel plan
especially suitable for Polar expedition.
1t is calculated that this aerial journey will
last four or five days. 1t is proposed to
start from Spitzbergen, and it is hoped il
will end on the North American continent,
or in the northern part of Asia.
This is by far the most important journey
which has yet been attempted in balloon,
and if successful, it wilt each many lessons,
not only in aerial navigation, but also in
many departments of physical science.
Experiments are being made in another
department of air travelling by Lawrence
Hargrave, in Sydney, New South Wales.
Mr.. Hargrave holds to the feasibility of a
flying machine in which screw propellers or
Tapping wings are used, and in his latest
attempt he used as prime mover a Broth
erhood engine driven by compressed
air. which was found to give trustworthy
source of power. These experiments have
raised doubt as to whether the balloon is
even a step in the right direction of solving
the aerial problem. They, at all events,
have demonstrated, from the facts they have
brought out as to the flight OF birds, that we
have still great deal to learn as to the laws
of animal life. and their further investiga-
tion opens up a wide field alike to the
physicist and the mechanician.

Remarkable success has been attained BY
Prot. Ahn, of Breslau, in applying photog-
raphy to fix the indications of different dis
eases of the eye. Another contribution to
one Of the newest departments of science are
Prof. Fischer's photographs of civilizations
of luminous bacteria, which were photo
graphed by their own light-the views Civ
ing evidence OF the constant movement in
which the tiny organisms are increasingly
engaged. One of the greatest anthropolo-
gists of the century, in Paris, has been
making collection of the various types OF
mankind, and he does it by means OF the
photograph. He inclines to the opinion
that the type or origin, the race to which the
party originally belonged, is better pre-
served among women than among men. He
has therefore made his collection from
among women, and to increase its attractive
ness and value, he has announced his inten-
tion to choose only beautiful women for his
types. Apropos of this idea, prominent
photographer proposes to appeal to photog-
raphers for selection and contribution of
Photographic reproduction of the representa-
tive woman whom they consider the most
beautiful; so that a collection can be made
which will be handed down to posterity as
representing the standard types OF beauty in
the nineteenth century,
