1nfiammable Buttons.

The progress of science is not without
its dangers, as well as it's benefits, to man
kind. The employment of a preparation
of solldified gun cotton as a substitute for
ivory, and, when colored, for tortoise shell,
horn, etc, has long been known to be at
tended with certain amount of risk A
scientific authority has recently published
a letter, recounting singular accident
which occurred to lady who was stand
ing near a fire. She found herself sudden
ly enveloped in smoke, and gentleman
who crushed the ignited portion of her
dress had his hand badly burned The
fire originates where Il large fancy button
had been, which had disappeared The
following test of the infiammability of one
of the buttons shows the danger of this
style of ornament: A phosphorus match
and piece of a button were placed on a
piece of iron heated by gas fame; in five
minutes the button ignited, and in twelve
minutes another piece double the distance
from the flame, while the match remained
unignited for more than a quarter of an
hour. Another button, attached to
buster, and placed before the fire in a posi-
ton lady's dress might occupy, took fire
and ignted the buster in a few minutes.

able that in some past geological age, when
the country was submerged under water
and the Ignite beds were being formed
branches of trees floating in the water were
deposited in such n position that the car
Donate of lime which was dissolved in the
water penetrated into their substance, so
that, as the woody substance decayed, it
was replaced by carbonate of lime, more or
less perfectly crystallized. The peculiar
odor of the truffitte is supposed to be due
to the decomposing animal or vegetable

Train OH for Calming Waves.

Herr Josef Grossman, an Austrian me-
chanical engineer of some note, has been
addressing scientific audience in Vienna
upon the question of calming the ocean
waves in storms by oil. The frequent fail
ures that have been experienced in this di-
rection Herr Grossman ascribes to a too
indiscriminate use of oils. Purified petro-
leum. and in general mineral oils, he says,
are quite unsuitable for the purpose, even
when poured by caskfuls into the sea.
Train oil, on the other hand, is extremely
effective. Even so small a quantity as half
gallon an hour will, he contends, secure a
large vessel against danger. On the con-
clusion of Herr CHEESEMAN'S second lecture a
discussion took place, and the meeting re-
solved to petition the Austrian naval ad-
ministration to conduct an extensive series
of trials with train oil in order to test it's
practical value
