The Popular Science Monthly for
December, 1f03.

The illustrated articles are an i'm
portant feature in the December Popu-.
lar Science Monthly. The number
opens with an account by President
Jordan, of Stanford University, of the
behavior of South Sea monkey in the
various surroundings Of human civili-
zation. 1t is called 1.-THE Story Of
Bob" and is a delightful mixture if
scientific observation and comical in
cident. Several of Bob's most interest
ing feats are shown in pictures. The
Modern War Vessels of the United
States Navy are described By w. A.
Dobson, their means of defense and
offense being fully explained. The
article is illustrated with views Of the
cruiser New York, the monitor Man
tonomoh, and other typical vessels.
Another copiously illustrated article is
''The Fruit Industry in California" BY
Charles Howard Shinn, the pictures
comprising views of orchards, speci-
men trees, and branches Of fruit. Prof.
G. II. Perkins contributes a paper on
''The Calumet in the Champlain Val
ley" in which thirteen forms of Indian
pipes are figured. Prof. Huxley's
Romanes lecture on Evolution and
Ethics" is concluded in this number
and is followed by critical letter from
Robert Mathews. Subjects suggested
by the closing days of the Worlds Fail
receive editorial comment, and the
other departments contain their usuaI
quota Of minor scientific items.

French Railroads.

The new plan for railroads brought
forward in France is the subject of
much comment The system aims to
combine the features of greatest value
in e2ectric and steam motors for rail-
way lines-a system which, as claimed
IN the account given, can be adopted
anywhere without change of track or
rolling stock. The electric current is
to drive the wheels, but is not to be
conveyed from stationary machines
along the line, and is generated on the
train, the locomotive being simply q
travelling electric plant A steam en-
CINE at the rear of the locomotive
works the generating dynamo, this
furnishing current to a small motor
placed on each axle of the locomotive,
and, also, when it is desirable to ex-
tend the system further, TO motor on
each axle of the cars. The absurdily
of converting the steam into electri-
city before using the power is declared
to be only apparent; and the double
loss in thus using the energy OF the
fuel is more than offset by the gain in
applying rotary power direct to the
axles, avoiding slipping of the rails,
and making unnecessary the connect
ing rods, cranks and wheels, whose
jar and friction absorb great part of
the motive force. The new locomotive
is said to give exact regulation of
power and an Increase Of speed per
hour, Sc to 81 miles, without change
of roadbed

The preservation of pictures has
now become in London, it would seem,
as the result of some very ingenious
experiments, a regular scientific pro-
ceedkng, If the accounts given are to
be relied upon. 1t is simply placing
the surface of the picture, be it of can.
vas or paper, in a vacuum, thus pro-
tecting it from the usual atmospheric
action which is so deteriorating. In
carrying out this plan the picture is
enclosed in a metal frame or vase,
covering the back and sides, and pro.
jecting from the sides like an ordinary
frame. In the edges of this case a
plate of glass is inserted, just as an
ordinary frame, and Theoretically
sealed to the metal. The air is then
withdrawn from between the surface
of the picture and the glass, and thus
the picture is in vacuum. 1t is as
serted that the effect of this plan is to
completely protect pictures from the
action of dsmpness, air, gases and
other causes that operate TO destroy
paintings exposed or framed in the
ordinary way.

The December New Peterson is In
many respects ahead Of all former
months, excellent as those issues have
been. The illustrations are more nu,
merous and better than ever, and a
glimpse Of the contents is enough TO
make one want to read from the first
page TO the last. The opening article,
1.-The Land of the Liberator," by NJ.
McCarthy-0'Leary is sketch Of Irish
life and scenery, written in the most
captivating manner and illustrated by
series Of admirable photographers.
Figs From Thistles," by Lucy H.
Hooper, is a beautiful story and pos
sesses an additional interest from the
fact that it is the last written by the
gifted authoress only a few months
before her death. "Puss in Boots" by
Agnes Repplier, is in that popular
writer's best vein, and the illustrations
are worthy of the sketch. "Pocahon-
tas," by Alexander Brown, is an ex-
ceedingly interesting paper by Vir-
ginia's noted historian. THE Fire
side" contains, papers by Minot J..
Savage and other distinguished essay
lists. The book reviews. by Robert c.
V. Meyers, are the best we have seen
among the months magazines.

into two transverse channels, the first
one of which discharges into a tank
connected by overfows with a series
Of tanks, the last one of which dis
charges into waste chute. The sec
ond transverse channel discharges into
tank for receiving the lighter second
grade concentrates. At the lower end
of the table is failing box, a chute
from which carries off the refuse
sand and water. In front
of the receiving box, near the upper
end of the table, is water distribut-
ting box, supplied from any suitable
source, and having gates through
which the water is permitted to flow
as desired into the respective chan
nels. In operation, the tailings are
allowed to flow down thechannels I'M
til they are we'll distributed over the
table, when the gates of the water
box are opened one at a time and
sufficient water passed through to

its length with an ordinary mill broom.
The valve of the lower traverse chan
mel is then opened, the water supply
increased, and the sweeping resumed,
when the lighter or second class con-
centrates are carried off to their tank,
the finer fabric at the lower end of the
table not OBTAINING them. The valve
communicating with this tank being
closed, and the other one opened, the
sweeping is continued and the heavier
concentrates are carried in the same
way to the first of the series of over
aow tanks, each channel being swept
in similar manner.

Waterprooting Cotton.

The processes commonly resorted to
for imparting waterproof quality to
cotton cloth have proved only measur-
ably successful, besides being some
what comp icated and troublesome.
The latest and most effective method,
as recently described, is claimed to be
free from the objections heretofore en-
countered and consists, mainly, in first
drying the fabric thoroughly in a dry
heat and then spreading it lightly over
a smooth surface. With brush this
is painted over with a thin coat of
boiled oil, which, after having become
perfectly dry, is treated to a second
coat-and third If necessary-plenty
Of time being allowed between each
for the effect of the operation on the
fabric to become perfect. After the
last coat has been applied, il the sur
face remains sticky, mixture of one
fourth pound of shellac TO a pint of
water gently heated until near the
boiling point, adding to this a small
quantity of liquid ammonia, is painted
over the surface. For a yellow water
proof, yellow ochre is employed, and
for black cloth lampblack is found
serviceable. The coloring matter, it
is said, can be used in mixture with
the shellac.

LITERARY NOTES.

Mr.. Howells' literary sutobiogra-
ply begins in the Christmas Ladies'
Home Journal, and will continue
through years numbers of that
magazine.
Edward Bellamy has written the
story Of How Came to Write Look
ing Backward " for The Ladies' Home
Journal. He will tell, in connection
with the history Of the book itself,
how the idea Of Nationalism first sug-
gested itself 10 his mind.
Edward Box says that of 5000
poems which come into his editorial
Office during year, not fifty, if print
ed, would be read with any degree Of
patience by the public.
-Sousa's new march, 1.-THE Manhat-
tan Beach March" has been purchased
by the The Ladies' Home Journal, and
its full piano score will be printed in
the Christmas issue. The composer
claims for it a superiority over either
his popular Washington Post" OF
High School Cadets" marches.

Floral MYsterY.

The Chinese, Japanese and Siamese
are peculiarly skillful at botanical feats.
One of their wonderful achievements
is known as the "changeable rose. "
This bloom is white in the shade and
red in the sunlight. After night or in
a dark room this curiosity of the rose
family is pure waxy white blossom.
When transferred to the open air the
transformation Immediately steps in,
the time of the entire change of the
flower from white to the most sanguine
of all sanguine hues depending on the
degree of sunlight and warmth. First,
the petals take on kind of washed OF
faded blue color, and rapidly change
to faint blush pink. The pink grad.
ually deepens in hue until you find
that your hly-white rose of an hour
before is as red as the reddest peony
that ever bloomed.

Elevators for the Queen.

Since Queen Victoria met with an
accident at Windsor castle eleven or
twelve years ago, when one of her
knees was injured, she has found il
very troublesome and sometimes pain
full either to ascend or descend stair
case. This difficulty has lately in
creased so much that an elevator has
just been placed in the private apart
ments of Windsor castle for her males
tvs use, and another is TO be fitted up
at Osborne. The queen has a greater
number of steps to ascend at Osborne
than at any other Of the palaces, as
her own apartments are in the pavil-
ion near the top Of the house. Eleva.
tors are also being made for Bucking,
ham palace and Balmoral, which will
be ready for use in the spring. There
was one in Buckingham palace fol-
some years, which was made for the
duke of Albany, although after hi:
death it was removed.

Women Whist Players.

San Francisco women exeA in whist
playing. There is probably no city in
the country where the game is so well
played by so many women as in the
California metropolis. At the recent

bers of various clubs, and a woman,
Mrs Henry Krebs of the San Fran
cisco Whist club, was elected assistant
secretary Of the congress. One of the
most prominent male whist clubs has
a weekly 'ladies' night" to which al
lady players are welcome.
