1890 on the nights of the 9th, 10th

for the meteors. The August falling

occupied by the constellation of Per-

northeast these nights between 10 and

About the middle of August it will
be at its farthest remove c~astwardly

and would prove a boon TO travellers,
and paying investment for RAILWAYS
if generally adopted
Such an invention has been made bv
DR.. A. II. X. Guiley. and has been pat.
ented in this and most other countries
in the world
According to this invention, which is
illustrated in the annexed engraving
one of the rails is made a continuous
conductor by connecting the rails
electrically at the joints, and the other
rail is divided into sections or blocks,
and provided with electrical connec.
tions which overlap from one bl oclz to
another Between the rails at suitable
intervals, preferably at opposite ends Of
the blocks, are placed electric contact
pieces, each formed Of two plates in
sulated from eacn other and provided
with vertical ribs arranged diagonally.
These ribs lie in the path of an arm or
"feeler" carried by the locomotive, and
upon the locomotive is placeda battery
and alarm mechanism.
The arrangement of the circuits is
such that when a train is passing in
one direction, the feeder strikes a set
of contacts controlling the circuit ar
ranged for trains passing in that direc-
ton, When the train passes in the OPP
posite direction, the feeder strikes the
opposite contact plate, securing OPP
poslte results. The feeder, which ex-
tends downwardly from the pilot of
the locomotive, is capable of swinging
laterally, and is protected so that it is
not injured by the shock due to striking
the contact plates, or other objects
lying on the track.
In the cab of the locomotive is ar
ranged an electrical alarm which is set
off by the contact of the feeler with
one of the plates, and continues to ring
until the engineer readjusts il for an
other alarm. The inventor has devised
an attachment to the feeler by means
OF which steam Is taken through pipes
and through the contact end of the
feeler for thawing SHOW and ice that
may accumulate upon the feeler or
upon the contact plates.
This improved system applied to
railway furnishes complete grade
crossing protection, and very efficient
block signal while at the same time,
under certain conditions, it may be used
as train signal by which one train
may signal to another.
In the annexed diagram, the con-
facts, Il, B', etc, and the electrical con-
nections, as arranged upon the main
track. A., and branch track, and on

that will absolutely dissipate or nu1lify

paper, either latent orgenerated by the
revolutions of the press. Many employ
ers nave paid out co siderable money
TO electrical experts and others who
claimed to have discovered nr to be in
possession of infallible remedies for
TINS trouble; but not one o. them has
squarely fulfilled the term, of his con-
tract We have studied the effect of
wires connected with batteries and of
wires connected with gas or other pipes
reading to the grounds; the latter on
the principle of the lightning rod.
While these do to a certain extent help
to modify the action of electricity or
the generation of it, they fall far short
OF doing 1T effectively and completely.
ana Tor that reason do not Justify the
outlay Of much money upon them.
Again, many printeries throughout the
country are beyond the reach of those
who could help them with the appli-
ances described; are at an expense
which, as we have just said. the modi-
cum of benefit that would be derived
would not Justify. 1t is for this reason
that we recommend to all who have
trouble with electricity in paper the
adoption of the simple and inexpensive
but surprisingly effective remedy we
now present.
In nearly every printery a bottle Of
glycerine is kept for one purpose or
another. Take this bottle and a clean
rag or other cloth. wet the cloth with
water and wiring it out well until
1T is only damp, then pour little gly-
cerlne upon the damp cloth, and wipe
the surface of the tympan sheet with

the impression is. as it is there that re-
action is atfected---at the point of pres

much glycerine, as it will
wrinkle the sheet too much Simply
go over it as you would in oiling the
sheet to prevent offset, ] do not
saturate it. If you find that one appli-
cation or wiping will not stop the
trouble. go over the impression parts
again in the same manner. Some
kinds of stock are more susceptible
than others, and call for an additional
application.
This is the simplest and cheapest Of
all the remedies, and as good as any

How Tin Plates are Wade.

Following is summary of the More
wood process of timing plates nov in
use at the works of the United States
Iron and Tin Plate Company, Limited,
at Demmler Station, Pa:
The plates are rolled in the ordinary
manner into black sheets, eight of these
sheets being rolled at one time, and
after being sheared to size are placed
in the "clack pickle" bath Of sui
] phuric acid, where all oxidation
is removed They are placed in an
annealing furnace for thirtv-six hours
and are next passed through the cold
rolls, receiving smoothly polished
surface, after which they are annealed
again and put into the white pickle,
where they are thoroughly cleansed
from any oxidation and are ready for
the timing process. The mode of put
ting on the coating of tin is a very
simple one, and is begun by submerg-
ing the plates in bath of palm oil I'M
I'll all the water disappears, the oil form
ing tlux for the tin, the first coat of
which is received in the tin pot, the
plates next being dipped into the
wash pot" and when taken out the
tin IS spread over the surface with
brush by hand. The final act in the
tin coating process is in passing the
plates through rolls running in palm
oil, whereby the tin is evenly dis
tributed and smooth surface is OBJ
tanned. There are feet of these rolls
used. running ON top of 2, and the
plates make two passes through
them, first being let down
through the first and second of the up
per set. and by cradle arrangement
are returned the second and third.
This completes the timing operation
proper, and the polish is obtained by
rapid movements of the plates through
bran and middlings. respectively, and
then polishing with sheepskin. The
result obtained at the Demmler works
is very excellent article of bright tin

The PI.o.phorescemce or Diamonds.


In the New York sun, Mr.. G. Z,
Kunz, the well-known expert in gems.
has recently called attention to a prop
erty of the diamond which may serve
as means Of distinguishing it from
other substances. Referring to the
paper Of Robert Boyle son a Remark
able Diamond that Shines in the
Dark" published in the Transactions
.of the ROYAL Society in 1868,
Mr.. kunz remarks that this
paper has been indirectly allud-
ed to by a number of authors, but never
read. Among a quantity Of facts Boyle
mention, one diamond that phospho-
resced simply by the heat of the hand,
absorbed light by being held near
candle, and emitted light by being
rubbed. He stated that many dia-
monts emitted light by being rubbed
in the dark The experiments made
by Mr.. kunz show conclusively
not only that Boyle's statement
that some diamonds phosphoresce
in the dark after exposure to
the sunlight or an arc of cleo
trio light is true. but also that all
diamonds emit light by rubbing them
on wood. cloth or metal, "a property
which viii probably prove of great
value in distinguishing between the
diamond and other hard stones, as well
as paste, none of which exhibit this
phenomenon. and will be welcomed by
the general public who do not possess
the experience of the dealer in
diamonds The property is evidently
not electric or il would not be visible
on being rubbed on metal.
