These fibres are drawn in the oxy-
hydrogen flame from purerock quartz,
their diameter being regulated by the
speed of drawing. As to the size, it is
possible to draw them from those

diameters and in lengths for diameters

as desired. Inspection with a micros.
cope shows that they are extremely
uniform in diameter, and contain no
"fishes" or flaws OF any kind.
The principal advantage possessed
by quartz fbres over all others are:
first, perfect elasticity; they show
absolutely no "nachwirkung or
"set," and when twisted, come back
to the same position Immediately; it
is thus possible to reach much
higher degree of sensibility with gal.
vapometer using a quartz fibre in
place OF unspun silk, for it is well
known a cocoon fibre, to which IS
attached a system under small con-
trolling force, will not return at once
to the zero point within per cent. of
the total DETECTION. Quartz fibres
are also absolutely unaffected by
ordinary changes OF temperature or
atmospheric conditions, whereas
silk fibres, absorbing greater or less
amounts of moisture at different
times, will have correspondingly
different zero points.
The tensile strength OF quartz fibres
is from so to 20 tons per square inch,
which is nearly as great as the best
steel, and many times that OF silk.
Fibressof extreme fineness may conse-
quently be used; as, for example, a
quartz suspension 10000 inch in
diameter will sustain a weight of 1-2
gram. They are, however, very easily
broken by lateral stress, and are,
therefore raised or lowered as a whole
instead OF attempting to bend them
around a spindle although the finer
ones can be successfully wound upon
spindles OF 1-2 inch or greater diam
eter. 4"
The uses OF quartz are various; they
can be employed advantageously for
the suspension of all delicate electro
meter and galvanometer suspensions.
They may also, as suggested by Mr.
Boys, be used to suspend very small
bodies, the specific GRANTEES OF which
are required, as there is practically
no capillary attraction between the
fibre and water. Being unaffected by
heat and OF very uniform diameter,
they are excellent for use as cross.

The Aerial Craphoscope.

At the last meeting OF the physical
Society OF London, Mr.. E. Stuart
Bruce, M. A., inventor of a method
OF signalling by captive balloons, lit
electrically, exhibited an instrument
which he calls an "aerial graphoscope,'
for showing the effects of persistence
OF vision-that is to say, the lingering
OF an image on the retina. The boyish
experiment of whirling stick with
red hot point until the point describes
a luminous circle in the air is a we'll
known case of persistence. Mr., Bruce
whirls a wooden lathe round by
means OF machine until the lathe
appears to the sight as fiat screen
or disc. The lathe is painted white
at the ends, shading to grey in the
centre, and the disc is of a uniform
whitish color. Ordinary slide
picture of an optical lantern were
projected on this illusorv screen to
hang in mid air.

American Women Patentees.

Necessity is the mother ofinvention!
1t was an American woman who in
vented a baby carriage which netted
her $4,000. A street-sweeping ma
chine OF great merit was devised by
New York lady who had acostly dress
ruined by the mud splashed on it by q
defective machine; while one of the
most remarkable OF American wo-
mems inventions is that OF Mrs.
Mary B. Walton for deadening the
sound of car wheels, the outcome of
her enforced residence near the ele-
waited railway in New York, and the
consequent annoyance experienced
from the sound of the passing trains.
One OF the most complicated and
curiously ingenious machines ever
made, it is said, is that for the manu-.
facture of re-enforced-bottom paper
bags. 1t was the invention of Miss
Maggie Knight, who from it and other
inventions in the same line realized n
great fortune.

Murderous Chinese.

SACRAMENTO, June 6.-The Bee
Saturday publishes a sensational
account of the secrets of the Bang
Kong Tong highbinders' society,
the records of which were captured
by the police after last Tuesdays
battle in the Chinese quarters, in
which two Cinnamon were killed
and several wounded. This Is the
only capture of the kind made in
the United States. The terrible
oath the members have to take,
while kneeling bowed over burning
candles and incense, and all the
secrets of the murderous organiza-
tions are revealed. The oath invokes
the wrath of the great god, Shing,
upon every betrayer ofthe of organi-
zation, and each member is solemnly
sworn to murder, when commanded,
even when the victim is a brother
or other relative. A member is re
quired to go into the streets and fire
pistols whenever ordered to do so,
even if the persons to be slain bear
the family name Of the assassin.
The blessing and protection of
heayen is promised to obey every
sign and signal of the order. The
bylaws of the society require every
fallen Chinese woman to pay q
monthly tribute of 50 to the society's
funds, and accord each member the
right to enter any tan game, put
down money for bet, demand his
winnings, if any, and walk off with
his wager, if luck is against him.
Many details, even to the personal
expense account of the hired fighters
including items of whisky and
opium, are disclosed, together with
letters from San Francisco, San Jose,
Los Angeles and other places, calling
for highbinders, or relating to the
procuring Of witnesses to swear in
cases of members accused of crime.
One letter recites that Chief Crow
ley broke up the San Francisco
headquarters of the society, and
thus it was forced to meet in a
small, secret room. The police
regard these disclosures as the break
ing up of the murderous concern,
which although but four months
old here, numbers 1873 members.
