NEWsY NOTES OF SCIENCE.

The new remedy for consumptiVe pa
tients, called chlophenol, is said 20 have
shown remarkably good results in hos
pitfalls.
Painted windows were photographed in
their original colors recently by Swiss
doctor who has devoted long study TO this
subject
II is claimed that the Eifel tower in
Paris attracts so much electricity as to
cause great cloudiness and an increased
amount of rain in that vicinity.
The new system of transmitting power
by means of compressed air, which was
recently tried in Offenbach, showed loss
Of but 10 per cent in the daily output.
A compound composed of oxygen and
hydrogen has been discovered which will
dissolve metals, and when united with
mercury and silver it forms powerful
explosive.
A new explosive called "Terrorite' has
been invented 1t is n gelatinous COM
pound, the ingredients being a secret. II
is said to be safe to handle, very powerful
and can be fired in shells
From recent investigations made in the
Pennsylvania University Veterinary school
it was shown that the chief cause of con
sumption came from the use of the milk
and flesh Of tuberculous cattle.
Aluminium Is taking the place of magne
SUM in fash lights for photography The
mixture consists of powdered aluminium
and chlorate of potassium, which gives q
brilliant fash with but little smoke.
The recent losses by fire in the cargo Of
ships carrying cotton has shown that cot
tonseed oil, when held in the cotton on
the outside of the bale, rapidly oxidizes
and generates spontaneous combustion.
The statement is made by an English
journal that wrought iron or steel pipes
can be produced at less cost per unit of
length than cast iron pipes, and pipe
built of steel can be made at a less cost
of labor than that of wrought iron. on
account of the reduction in the number OF
plates and rivets, and therefore, of calk-
ing and punching Being also less liable
to corrosion than pipes of wrought or
cast iron, the durability of steel is insured.
Instead of being turned TO the desired
size by sharp-cutting instruments as IN
ordinary machines for turning wood and
metal granite is now turned or ground
away in the production of columns by the
wedge-lik action of rather thick steel
disks, rotated by the pressure of the stone
rs it slowly turns in the lathe; the disks.
which are six or eight inches in diameter,
are set at quite an angle To the stone and
move with an automatic carriage along
the lathe bed.
The recent advocacy by some of the use
of atmospheric air as fuel Is pronounced
one of the most remarkable results OF
modern experiment with one of the essen
tial elements of the universe As is well
understood, air is mixed with coal gas and
with hydrocarbon vapOIs and the com
pound when burned generates a much
greater heat than if the air was absent
The new fuel, however, Is the air itself

an incandescent substance-say, coal made

terials that can be made TO glow
