NIanranine. q Now Alloy.

Margarine is the name of a new
alloy, consisting of copper, nickel and
manganese, which has been brought on
1.-THE market, says Iron, by German
firm, as material of great resisting
power. The specific resistance of
margarine is given as 40 microhm
icentimeters, that is, higher than that
,of nickeline. which has hitherto passed
Ias the best resisting metal Another
advantage of margarine is its behavior
under variations of heat, the resistance.
1T is claimed, being affected only in a
minute degree by high temperatures.
1t is therefore adapted for the manu-
ifacture of measuring instruments and
electrical apparatus in general, which
are required to vary their resistance MS
little as possible under different de-
grees of heat. A further interesting
TACT is that, while other metals In
icrease their resistance by the raising of
tthe temperature, that of margarine Is
diminished.

isfactory might no doubt be improved
without greatly remodeling the plan.
For instance, it Is rather awkward to
be compelled to pass through another
apartment in order to reach the sitting
room, and to pass through two rooms to
reach the library Also the pantry
looks small; and there is lack of any
sort of toilet room on the first floor-a
closet where overcoats, overshoes, UNI
brellas, hats not in daily use, skates and
the like could be stored, and where
there might be placed, at tri-
fling expense, the very great con-
venience of washstand with
running water. We should prefer
to diminish somewhat the rather
disproportionately large area given to

THE PUDAMUCK.

Unzinyati river, in the Quanthlamba
mountains, while engaged in missionary
work among the natives. have learned
that it is rare, and never found outside
of what is known as the Bungaleed dis
trict, marshy tract on the Unzinyati
river about twenty miles square. had
the strange animal transported to the
station and placed in high Enclosure,
where had an opportunity to study it's
habits. AS near as 1 can judge it be-
longs to the genus Ornithorynchus. I
found it necessary to keep the animals
quarters as marshy as possible, with
small pond of fresh water in one cor
ner, for it is an amphibian. Itlivcs en-
tirely OH the blood of animals, taking
all nourishment through the medium of
the suckers on the extrcmities of its
eight legs. These eight legs, by the
way, have doubtless led to its being
called by the natives 'pudamuck,' which
means many legs
II threw Il live rabbit into the in
closure one day, and was greatly sur
prised at the way in which the puda-
muck attacked its prey. Springing
upon the rabbit, it plunged the poison
GUS sting secreted in the tail into the
flank of the victim. The latter was
then permitted to scamper away, the
pudamrcll following close behind, much
after the manner of boy turning cart
wheels. 1t thus brings all its legs into
play, and is capable of covering the
ground mt marvellous speed. The
rabbit finally succumbed to the poison
and sank to the ground in its death
agony. The pudamuclf then twined its
many legs around the dead body and
sucked the rabbits blood. 1t never
uses its mouth in feeding. 1t must DC
kept as warm as possible"
Keeper Byrne had the animal placed
in wooden cage in the elephant house,
and watched it closely for hours. At
times the pudalnuck, becoming tired of
walking about on the floor, sprang to
the ceiling, about six feet above, and
walked about there, clinging to the
smooth surface by means of the suck,
crs on its feet. 1t continually gives
vent to peculiar cry, somewhat SINH
lar to the boot of an owl.

POPULAR SCIENCE.

CIIRoNoeRApHs are now being Inado
that are capable of measuring to the
ten-thousandth part of u second.
CAREFUL Investigations show that in
ordinary flames charged with common
salt the yellowness is due TO too free
metallic sodium and not to the unde.
composed molecules of chloride of so
dunn.
A NEW process for making oxygen
gas consists in treating manganate of
soda in current of steam. Oxygen is
thus evolved by the manganate being
reduced to sesquioxide of manganese.
The latter is reoxidized by being heat
ed in current of air.
RECENT series of elaborate tests
made of the dust in various portions OF
the streets of Naples show that the sec
tions of the city which are the cleancst
are the healthiest; and by the mere in.
spection of the dust the degree of illness
pertaining to each locality could be
readily determined
PROF. DUNER of Germany has discov.
cred that the revolution of the sun as
shown by the movement at its equator
is once for twenty-five days and twelve
hours of our time, while at or near it,
poles the revolution may be only once
in forty-six Of our days. This would
only be possible with a movable and
gaseous surface like that of the sun.

And tints the earth with softcncd glory

The last red rose upon the bushes.
