PROGRESS OF SCIENCE.

The most unalterable of water colors
has been found to be yellow ocher, terra
sienna, sepia, and blue.
Men of science declare that the orange
was originally berry, and that its evo-
luton has been going on more than
thousand years.
A new process has been invented for
aging wine by means of electricity, the
novelty of the process consisting of the
special apparatus employed.
There is a great subject for study in
Philadelphia. A surgeon there has dis
sected and mounted the complete nervous
system of a human being, something
never before accomplished.
Great interest is being manifested by
the citizens of Washington in the sue
cessful trial of the Edco electric car,
which is moved by storage battery
called the "accumulator. The car
moves steadily over the track and OF
very rapid speed when desired, 1t will
be success.-[ Inventive Age.
The following plan is adopted in the
Paris Laboratory for testing the compare
tive durability of paving stones. A sam
pie of the rock is placed upon a horizontal
plate rotating round a vertical axis and
pressed against it by suitable contriv-
ances. The wear is then compared with
that of standard material under the
same conditions.
In Frankfort experiments are shortly
to be made to show the application Of
electricity to aerial navigation. The pul.
ley which controls the ascent and de-
scent of the balloon will be operated by an
electric motor, and telephone wire will
enable conversation to be carried on be-
tween those in the balloon and those at
the starting point below.
The study of electricity continues, and
the belief is almost universal that we
have only begun to apply this wonderful
agency to our own uses. Experiments
made in Baltimore are said to demon
strate that a speed of 1875 miles an hour
can readily be obtained by electric cars,
if they have satisfactory track on which
to run. The track is inexpensive. but
the thing can be done, so they say

1t detracts but little from the impression
created by this specimen to know that 1t is
simply a fabrication or re production OF one
contained in a European museum. Some
idea may be formed of the immense size OF
the object when il is stated that the wooden
tusks alone required five men to left each of
them and the same number OF men had all
the work they could do TO carry the legs one
by one.
The interior of the body has a framework
like house, and was only hoisted into posi-

Result of the Examination Before the
COroner's Jury.
An inquest was held yesterday on the re-
mains of Henry 3. Harmon, the suicide
who lived a week with a bullet in his brain.
The verdict was that the deceased came to
his death from a guushot wound inflicted
ty himself with suicidal intent While tenn
porarilly insane.
A number of witnesses were examined
but there was nothing developed to show
when or where Harmon fired the bullet into
his brain. Alex Bardet, manager of the
works where Harmon was employed, said
he last saw the deceased alive on October
18th the day prior to the shooting. 1t was
at the spice-mills, So Jessie street, and the
witness said that Harmon sang and whistled
loudly most of the dav. His favorIte tune
was, ''See That My Grave Is Kept Green"
Deceased had lately given up pipe-smoking
and bis nerves were Affected by abstinence
from tobacco.

Kitty Sanders is somewhat of an epicure
in her way, and recent attempt to tickle
her palate with fancy tabled d'hote dishes
brought Kitty in contact with the rude,
homemade grub in the City Bastile. Off
Ger COnboy introduced Miss Sanders to the
select society in the bird-cage early last
evening.
Tuesday evening Kitty and her young
man went into a Kearny-street restaurant
for supper. Kitty was feeling even more
fastidious than usual, and, after consulting
the menu, the young lady ordered plate of
fried tripe with onions. a. Ii. kunSelman,
the waiter, has had but little dealings with
epicures of the female persuasion, and the
magnificent order given by Kitty tlustered
him bit.
He was so dazzled that he brought out a
dish of stewed kidneys instead of tripe,
ragged Miss Sanders that she lost NJ time in
splitting the top of Mr.. Kunselman's head
open with a claret bottle. Thereupou Miss
Sanders and her beau escaped, while the
natter went to the Receiving Hospital TO
get his scalp half-soled.
While the pegs were being driven in Mr.
Kunselman said the lady was perfectly JUS
tilted in making a kick. as he alone was to
blame for crossing the signs, but thought
she was a little too vehement in view of the
fact that he brought her some sort Of IN

MODERN IRON SHIPS.
Irving NJ. Scott Lectures Before TIL

Irving NJ. Scott Lectures Before the
Technical Society.
Irving NJ Scott, General Manager of the
Union Iron Works, lectured last evening
before the Technical Society of the Pacific
on War-ship Construction" Mr.. Scott
commenced by giving his hearers a de-
scription of the manufacture of steel armor
plate and told how the important factor in
the construction of modern ships is ham
mered into proper state of solidity.
Then followed description of the i'm
proved tempering process, which, the
lecturer declared, requires great deal of
delicacy and skill. He told of the eleven
inch plates manufactured at Bethleham.
Penn, and then entered into history of
his recent trip to Europe. describing the
ship-yaTdS he had visited at Belfast, Glas-
gov and other places. or the Belfast
works, he said: They are the finest in the
world and turr out more work than any
other of which have knowledge"
From this point the speaker took his
hearers over to Hamburg and gave them
deseril tion of the harbor and the improved
methods OF docking ships, in vogue at this
any in the world. Then came descrip-
tion of the latest methods Of lighting war
ships. Referring TO the English navy Mr.
Scott said: England keeps popular
opinion constantly at work on naval affairs
by her splendid object lessons. Interest in
these matters is always at the highest notch,
which surprises the American who has not
taken the trouble to look for cause.
1T is not far to seek. As | have said, the
interest comes from object lessons con-
stantly before the boys of England. There
are many of them, but L believe that the
most potent is The naval exhibition. Here
for instance is the statue of the great
Nelson. Every boy who sees this wants to
be a sailor. Then there are ships Of many
designs and models. Besides this sea liter
ature is much more common in England
than here and young men take more kindly
tO the OccUDation" "
