Eirc-Protectin- ReImec

4 smoke helmet of real utility has been
adopted by Western fire brigade Ii
not only protects the eyesight from the
binding smoke, but furnishes sufficient
fresh air for breathing purposes to enable
the fireman to continue his work under cir
cumstances which would otherwise be pro-
hibitive. 1t comprises large flexible hood
that entirely encloses the head and neck
the head being forced upward through a
yielding neck orifce which closes snugly
about the neck. The front of the helmet is
provided with transparent screen of glass
or mica, so that the view of the fireman is
absolutely unimpeded. A strong cylindrical
air reservoir, supported at the back
of the neck, contains sup
ply of fresh air, strongly compressed, which
will serve TO maintain respiration for
reasonable time. The cylinder communi-
Gates with the interior of the hood, the air
being let in gradually by valve that con-
trolls its admission according to adjustment.
4 small pressure gauge is connected with
the cylinder, which indicates the amount of
compression. An airpump is also attached,
by which the supply of air can be replen-
ished when necessary. The fireman is thus
enabled not only to get much nearer to the
fire, but to exist and carry on his operations
under conditions that formerly would i'll
evltably have been fatal to life.

Idiopathic Badness.

A writer in an English medical paper
states that much of the prevalent idiopathic
baldness-that is, badness not due to pre-
vious disease or exciting causes-could be
prevented, or, at all events, modified, if
people would take a few sensible precau-
tions A headcovering should be used as
little as possible, and never indoors, in
trains or in closed carriages. In summer
and still weather straw hats are best; in
winter, light felt, ventilated and unlined.
Too constant washing of the hair is un-
necessary, as well as harmful. Once a week
is quite enough for cleanliness, as well as
Tor maintaining the strength of the hair.
The same remark applies to constant brush
ing; continual brushing, especially with
hard brushes. should be avoided. There is
a common notion that greasing the hair is
vulgar, and it is now regarded as ''bad
form. The consequence is that many peo-
pie fall into the other extreme, and never
apply any pomade at all. After the hair
has been washed it is quite beneficial to
apply moderate quantity of some form of
simple grease or oil.

The IuminositY of Flames.

The ingenious Chatelier pyrometer has
recentlyly been applied to measuring the
temperature of the various zones of an or
dinary gas jet. From the results obtained
it appears that the temperature is only 500
degrees cent. at about one-half inch above
the burner, after which it rises rapidly to
little over 200 degrees at the commence
ment of the luminous zone, increasing
aiterward to 1,36S degrees cent. near the
top of the flame. These results have an i'm
portant bearing on the luminosity of the
fame, which is usually attributed to the
liberation OF solid particles of carbon in
the flame. The incandescence of the parti-
cles is the principal source of the light
Tracing out the chemical changes which
occur in the successive zones from the mouth
of the Jet up TO a temperature of 1000 de-
gress 10 1900 degrees cent, Prof
Lewis has found that between those limits
the original hydrocarbons of the
gas are converted into acetvlene, which is a
clear, colorless gas, containing two parts of
hydrogen to 2i of carbon. At bright red
heat this gas is decomposed into carbon and
hydrogen, accompanied by the liberation of
heat. In the gas flame this change CON-
meRces at the beginning OF the luminous
zone, at which point only the requisite tenn
perature is reached. This discovery is in
line with the well known fact, that the
luminosity of a flame can be diminished by
cooling it, and still further cooling will
extinguish the fame. To certain extent
this action is always going on, the great
rush of air to the external surface of flame
cooling it down to such degree that par
ticles of gas escape unburnt, as can be de-
tected by careful analysis.

Hardening Gypsum Casts.

The perishability of plaster casts has al
ways been regarded as a great disadvantage
to their employment for art work Various
methods ior hardening their surface have
been proposed, and it is now stated that this
can be effectaally done by using solution
OF soluble silica, followed by the applica-
tlon OF baryta solution. Another method
consists in making the cast Of mixture of
plaster and various metallic hydrates, such
as those of alumina and zinc, which are con-
verted into silicates eby subsequent treat
ment of the casts with soluble silica. 1t is
possible that some such treatment as this
would be useful for making decorative tiles
and for photographic stones, which require a
hard and smooth surface.

A PROTECTION FOR FIREMEN.
LATE NEWS FROM THE SCIENTISTS
WRITTEN FOR THE DIsPATCH.l

The newest of the many substitutes for
glass which are constantly appearing is the
invention ola Viennese glass manufacturer,
and seems likely to be especially useful for
Photographic purposes. This product is
said to have substantially the same proper
ties as glass, resisting the action of salts and
alkalies and of dilute acids, besides being
inodorous and transparent. 1t has, how
ever, the advantage of being flexible and
Intangible to a great degree, while its in
fammabilitv is much less than that of its
collodion prototypes. 1t is so simply made
that the photographers can undertake the
process of manufacture for themselves with
out much difficulty.
From four to eight parts of collodion wool
are dissolved in about 100 parts by weight
of ether or alcohol or acetic ether, and with
this is intimately combined from to per
cent of castor oil or any non-resinous oil,
and from 1 to 10 per cent of resin or Canada
balsam (soft resin). The compound, when
poured on a glass plate and subjected to the
driving action of a current of air of about
500 Centigrade, solidifes in a compare
lively short time into a transparent, glass
like sheet or plate, the thickness of which
may be regulated as required.

Electric Fire Engines.

1t seems not unlikely that before long the
fire engines in many of our large cities will
be worked electrically. The substitution of
an electric motor in place of the. present
steam engine for running the pumps would
be one of the first steps in an improved
service. Wires to furnish power could be
run from underground conduits in the
streets up through posts close to the fire
plugs, and end in sockets similar to those
now used for incandescent lamps. The OBJ
lection has been raised that to supply many
fire engines an extra supply of current
would be needed. A fire alarm gong and
indicator could be placed in the electric
light works, and when fire occurred one
or more dynamos could be thrown into ser
vice at moments notice.

Telenhone Rates Abroad.

A telephone man has been writing to the
daily papers in connection with the agita-

ments for which subscribers in New York
are charged S15O per annum, cost but IS 42
to manufacture. and that the rival company
which he represents sell for export COM
plete subscribers outfit for from SIS to SIT.
The charge for a long distance instrument
in New York is $50 extra, or in all, S240 q
wear. This instrument is sold outright for
export for $40 Montreal, just across the
border, pays S35 year and has single lines
to each subscriber and metallic circuits.
Berlin and most German cities pay So to

e10 wear, or 81 month. At Barbados
and Trinidad the rates are So so to S4 a

respectively. In Venezuela the ruling rate
is $50 year, and in Mexico City it is 500.

HARVARD BOYS TO BE GowNED.
An English Custom Adopted by the Senior
at Cambridge.


CAMBRIDGE, MASS, March III [Specia, !
"A. r. Crandall, Chairman of the Harvard
Senior Glass Day Committee, had made his
report on the cap and gown question, and
circulars will be sent to the members of the
senior class The award of the contract for
the manufacture of the gowns has been de-
layed owing to the negligence of several
firms to whom the contract was offered. The
cap and gown will be furnished by an
Albany firm. The cooperative society will
act as its agents, and measurements may be
taken there and the goods will be delivered
when finished
The material of the gown is alpaca, and
will cost, with the cap. 81 80. Class day
officers will wear, to distinguish them from
the other seniors, red tassel on their caps,
the gowns remaining the same. The gowns
will be worn all day and through the even
ing. No dress suit will be worn, or, if it
is, it must be worn under the gown. 1t is
expected that, as usual, visitors and under
class men will wear dress suits in the even
ing.

The report that during the Electrical Ex.
hibition the London Crystal Palace insur-
ance rates have been raised some 80 per
cent has caused no little indignation in
electrical circles in England. \ leading
English paper now suggests that an elec-
trical insurance company shall at once be
started in England. 1t would insure all the
buildings on which the ordinary companies
want to raiae the rates, as, knowing the real

light is so much safer than gas or petroleum
that as soon as building is lighted cleo

Train Lighting in Eng

Some of the trains on the Midland Rail-
way in England have been fitted up with
electric light. The light is supplied by a
dynamo fixed in the guards van, and
coupled directly onto the axle of one of the
pairs of wheels. By this means sufficient
motor power is generated through the mere
travelling of the train to supply about $50
eight-candle incandescent lamps, and to
charge the accumulators with the reserve
requisite to maintain the electric light when
the train is stationary
