JERSEY APPROPRIATIONS,

the Passaic River Improvement-Other
River and Harbor Work.
WASHINGTON. Aug, 80. 1892. In the last
River and Harbor bill provision was made
for continuing work on fifteen distinct
projects in New Jersey, involving a total
expenditure OF $198, 100. AS this money
is now available aud the plans of the en-
g;neers nave been made. it will b. of in
tereSt to know what is contemplated in
The way of river and harbor Improvement
during the present fiscal year. for which
the appropriations were allowed. The
following Is u brief statement OF the work
intended
Heretofore the appropriations for the
improvement of the Passdfc river have
been made in two distinct items. The
first has been for the river below New
ark: the secopd for that portion above The
city. For various reasons, both scien-
tifc and economical the chief of engin-
GERS says, 'It is highly desirable that
these projects should be united In order
that the funds may be expended at those
oints. the treatment of which will best
onduc to the regulation of the tidal por-
ton of the river in its entirety"
Congress adopted this view, and here
after the appropriation will be for the
Passsic River without any qualification,
and the amount nov to be used Is $45, 900.
This money will he used in dredging out
the channel, as far as it will go, 20 as TO
secure a least depth of ten feet. AS 1t
will lake $114, 1875 TO complete the project,
and as SAC. 600 is now to be thus used, there
must still be appropriated by Congress for
its completion S74. 375. Above the city a
much smaller amount 5000 can be used,
as the engineers, of course, recognize the
greater necessity for Improvement below
Newark. 10 complete the dredging In
this part CT the river there must yet be
provided t49. 972.
The S5.0 goo available for the Elizabeth
River will be used In dredging from the
mouth of the river up to the heal OF navi-
gatiol. This leaves but 5000 yet to be
furnished for the. completion of it's pro-
ject. The engineers do not look with
much favor Oh the proposition to convert
the creek into q regular canal. as 1t could
only be done at an expense greatly out Of
proportion co the benefits SCI ured.
While $40. 800 will be spent on the Rarl-
tan River, but comparatively little can
be accomplished on a projsct which in
wolves an outlay Of over Il million aud q
half dollars. Progress on this work can
only be slow. as before dredging opera.

Ano.-.sr A.w A.4cycle.


A chainless safety bicycle is the latest
production in cycle manufacture. On
the new whee, ;he power is transmitted
from the pedal crank to the rear wheel
by a beveled gear, and one of the chief
merits of the device is its simplicity.
Apart from the method Of transmitting
power this bicycle will differ little in
general outline from the wheels of this
years pattern. Attached to the dri-ing
shaft is a beveled gear, made staff ny
exactly in the center Of the wheel,
which is mashed into q second beveled
gear, which connects with a shaft run
ming to the rear wheel. BY a similar
gear the power is transmitted to the
rear wheel, the beveled gear being at
tached to the real axle.
The shaft will be made of steel tubing,
incased in a metallic tube. The gear
ing at each end of the shaft will also be
incased in a metallic cap, making the
bearings Of the wheel absolutely dust
proof. The wheel will have ball bear
ings throughout and will be fitted with
a pneumatic tire. This doing away
with the chain makes the wheel n
siderably lighter and reduces the cost Of
manufacture.

SOuLING tF MILK.
1t Is the Result of Ozone and Not of
Lightning.

Lightning.
1t is a ~wellknown fact that milk is
especially apt to sour during the prevail
ence of a thunderstorm, and from this it
has been surmised that thu electric dis
charge held some mysterious sway over
the lacteal fluid. An Italian expert
meuter, one Prof. G. Tolomel, has been
making trials of various sorts, the OBJ
Ject being to throw some light on electric
influence over milk molecules. In his
first experiment he passed an electric dis
charge from a HoltZ machine between
two balls of platinum hanging two
inches apart IN a pottle containing a
quart of fresh milk; secondly,
by sending a current between
two strips of platinum at the bottom of a
Y tube filed with the same fluid; thirdly,
by subjectlng milk in a test tube to the
action of q strong battery current through
a silk covered copper wire wound spirally
around the tube. In each one of these
experiments, which were as thorough as
any lover OF science coulu wish, 1t wus
proved that acidulation of the milk was
delayed las cad of hastened. as had been
expected.
Three equal portions of milk from the
same milking, thus treated, began to grow
acid on the seventh. the siuth and the
sixth days respectively; while other por-
lions Of it which had not been treated
with electricity was rankly acid on the
evening of the third day.
Having thus disproved the popular
theory Of lightning being the direct caus
of the Modification of milk, Prof. Tolomel
tried ozone and found therein the mystic
agent Of milk souring. In his second
trial OF ozone he brought the surface of Il
quantity OF milk close to the two balls OF
the machine used, and the fluid almost
Instantly hrcame acid In consequence
