Cooking by Electricity.

Resistance colts OF platinum or Ger
man silver wire have been used for ex.
perimental cooking. The currents used
have been of constant direction, and
the coils traversed by the currents
must needs be in or in close proximity
10 the substance to be cooked. Further,
the surface exposed by q coil taking
up considerable room Is small, and the
amount Of heat radiated aud conducted
from the wire If not nearly red hot
will not be large. Cooking by electricity
has not come into use as yet; the use of
alternating currents offers a solution 10
the problem. A large electro magnet
of great self induction is constantly in
circuit. Tie loss Of current through
this coil as long as metal IL not brought
near 1t is too small to be measures. 1t
being desired to COOK 1apjacks, an iron
spider Is placed over the poles Of the
electro magnet. The rapid reversals of
current In the coil induce currents III
the iron spider, which Is thereby
heated. For heating liquids, copper
vessel is preferable where It can be
used on account of its greater conduc-
tivity. The metal In which or on which
the cskIng is done need not touch the
magnet. Indeed, a lesseDed heating
effect Is obtained by separating the
1ish from the electro magnet.

The Great Congo Forest.

While in England considering the
best routes open to the Nyanza
(Albert), writes the explorer, Stanley,
[ thought I was very liberal in
allowing myself two weeks march
to cross the forest region lying
between the Congo and the Grass
Land, but you may imagine our
feelings when month after mouth saw
Us marching, tearing, ploughing, cut
ting through that same continuous.
forest. 1t took US l60 days before vel
could say, "Thank God, we are out of
the darkness at last" Take thick
Scottish copse dripping with rain;
imagine this copse to be a mere
undergrowth, nourished under the
impenetrable shade of ancient trees
ranging from 100 to $50 feet high;
briers and thorns abundant; lazy
creeks, meandering through the depths
Of the jungle, and sometimes a deep
affiuent of g. great river. Imagine
this forest and jungle in ali stages of
decay, and growth-old trees falling,
leaning perilously over, fallen pros
rate; ants and insect. of all kinds,
sizes, and colors, murmuring around;
monkeys and chimpanzees above,
queer noises of birds and animals,
crashes in the jungle as troops of
elephants rush away; dwarfs with
poisoned arrows securely hidden
behind some buttress or in some dark
recess; strong, brown-bodied abori-
gines with terribly sharp spears,
standing poised, still as dead stumps;
rain pattering down on you every
other day in the year; an impure
atmosphere, with its dread conse-
quences, fever and dysentery; gloom
throughout the day, and darkness
almost palpable throughout the night
and then, If you will imagine such
forest extending the entire distance
from Plymouth to Peterhead, you will
have q fair idea of some of tho
inconveniences endured by US from
June % TO December 5, 1887, and
from June !, 1888, to the present date,
to continue again from the present
date till about December 10, 1888,
when l hope to pay last farewell to
the Congo forest. Think of the broad
Congo, varying from one to sixteen
miles wide, which has q stretch Of
1,4oo miles, supplying another i'm
measurable quantity of moisture to be
distilled into rain and mist and dew
over this Unsuitable forest, and then
another GOO miles of the Aruwimi or
Ituri itself, and then you will cease to
wonder that there are about one hun
dred and fifty days of rain every year
in this region, and that the Congo
forest covers such o wide area.

An Emper0r's Student Days.

During his school career the German
emperor was a model Of the studious
German youth. He took his place as
q common pupil In the public school at
Cassel, and studied and played with
the other scholars. AT the final exam
ination he was, indeed, only tenth on
the list; but when he was two years
younger than his mates, and was right
" considered TO have done so well
that his tutor was Immediately knight
ed. There is no cramming system in
Germany; he passed without aid or
favor.
AT the University of Bonn l have
sat on the same benches with him, and
seen him with his little note book,
writing down, like hard worked re-
porter, nearly all the professor uttered
in his lectures on the great German
authors or on the genius Of Shake
speare. The prince was also anxious
to study subjects not just then in the
curriculum, and for these the profess
sor attended at his own apartments.
By the professors the prince was
treated with all almost servile adula-
ton, and he won their esteem and love.
He had them all In turn to dinner at
his rooms in villa which overhung
the Rhine, with the honeysuckle, Glenn
ats and Virginia creepers reaching
over and down the garden walls almost
to the waters edge.
The queen sent him out from Eng
iand splendid boat costing nearly two
hundred pounds, but he used 1t very
little, and 1t generally lay moored by
the bank below his garden, idly rock
ing in the ripple Of the Rhine. But he
took part heartily in all the amuse-
ments common among German stu
dents, namely, beer-drinking, duelling,
torchlight professions, carriage driv-
ing, bathing and, in winter, sledging.
1 do not think he ever fought real
duel, but he mingled freely with the
duellers, and in knelpen-drinking
bouts-and torchlight serenades, sip
ping and sitting with the slippers Of
light German beer till late into the
night.

Orange Culture,

The province of Palermo Is the great
orange district of Sicily. Frequently
the fruit when gathered is allowed to
sweat IN the groves from two to thres
days, piled on the ground and covered
witt tarpaulins. II is then wrapped
in tissue paper, boxed up and sent 10
the city. Fruit Is also sent directly
from the groves. All fruit, upon
reaching the exporters warehouse, is
carefully inspected and selected,
wrapped in fresh tissue paper and re-
packed. Exporters ship their oranges
as soon as packed.
During the shipping season large
firms in Messina employ as many as
500 women and girls, paying them 20
TO 25 cents a day, nine hours work.
The women select and wrap up the
fruit. Men are employed to pack the
fruit and handle the boxes; they get
from 40 to so cents day. Tho steve
,lores handle the boxes with care.
The steamers give all possible ventila-
tion to the fruit during the voyage.
Fruit possessing the greatest keeping
qualities Is sent in sailing vessels 10

In an account Of some experiments
on the effect OF friction between various
substances, writer shows that the
heat produced, other conditions icing
equal, is in proportion to the hardness
OF the substances, and. on the other
hand, the greater the difference In the
hardness OF two materials rubbing
against each other. the less the heat
produced by the friction and the harder
or the two heats more than the other. In
the relation of these facts to the compo-
stion of bearings, 1t is remarked that
the alloys of copper and tin in general
use are rarely homogeneous, with the
exception Of that which contains eighty
two to eighty-thTee parts of COPPER to
seventeen or eighteen Of tin; if there
Is less tin in tie composition, Pranula-
tion takes place during cooling, which
