A NOVEL ELECTRICAL MACHINE.

One of the most widely known
generators of statical or FRACTIONAL
electricityis the Wimshurst influence
machine. A new form of this APP
paratus, lately exhibited before the
London Physical Society, presented
the remarkable quality of being un-
able to charge Leyden jar. Though
the current seemed to pass in a
steady stream of sparks to the jar,
no trace of electricity could be de-
tected in the latter The conclusion
is that the electricity developed is
alternately positive and negative.
and that the current of sparks is
really the oscillation of a small
charge which flows with great rapid
ity backward and forward between
machine and jar.

PHENOMENA OF SLEEP.

As a result of modern research, it
is asserted that, in falling asleep,
the sight ceases first to receive i'm
pressions. the sense of taste next,
then smelling, then hearing, and
touch retains its susceptibility long,
est. The senses appear, moreover,
to sleep with different degrees of
profoundness. Touch is the most
easily awakened, hearing next, then
sight, and taste and smelling awake
last. Sleep does not begin in diff
ferent parts of the body simultane
ouslY, but proceeds from the ex-
tremities toward the centre Of ner-
vous action. Dreams may be due
to imperfect sleep, one OF more
parts of the body. being awake.

MODERN ALCHEMY.

The romance of science probably
embraces no more striking story
than the effected history of coal-tar.
From this troublesome waste of a
few years ago, according to Prof. R.
Meldoda, about 800 coloring matters
are now made, 80 of them being
fast dyes of general utility, and 80
more fast enough for all practical
requirements. The value of the
coal-tar colors annually produced in
Great Britain and on the Continent
has reached some S25,000,000. From
the same original SQUIRE are also
derived such explosives as picric acid,
medicines such as antipyrin, sweets
such as saccharin, and perfumes
resembling vanilla, bitter almonds,
etc.,-not TO mention hydroquinon
and eikonogen, used by photographers
and others.

4 NEW BALANCE.

The manipulation of the delicate
weights required in chemical analy-
sis is tedious operation which n.
Serrin, inventor of the electric light
regulator bearing his name, seeks to
avoid in new balance of precision
which was exhibited the other day
to the French Academy of Sciences.
By this apparatus weighings may
be quickly made with an approxima-
ton of Ito milligram about 1850
grain). The weighing is first made
by the ordinary method to within
about decigram, then the opera
ton is completed by moving slid
ing point along the upright of the
balance. To this point is fixed
one end of a little chain, of
which the other end is attached to
one of the two arms of the balance.
The weights supported by the bal
ance vary with the height of the
movable point, and a graduated
scale gives an accurate reading Of
the amount of the variation.
