SCIENTIFIC NOTES.

LIE manufacture OF aluminium by
an elcctrolytic process is to be gone
into quite extensively at Forces,
France. The falls of the praz river,
giving 2.000-horse power, are to be util-
lied and IL plant erected soon.
THERE is an impression that self
hardening stcels will cut hard metals
which no other steel will cut. This is
mistake. Carbon steel of best quail
ity and of high temper, which can be
hardened in the usual way, will cut
chilled metal that no self-hardcninp
steel will touch.
TIE results of recent experiments
made in Berlin by Prof. Uffelmann,
show that cholera bacilli remain alive
in wafer from one to six days, in butter
six days, in cabbage three days, on
postal cards twenty hours after drying,
while on silver coins and copper they
die i'll half an hour
THERE is hardly doubt that the
natural gas supply, even in the most
favored districts where this agent has
been discovered, is generally approach
ing extinction, and it will soon cease
to be an important factor. among the
fuels of the country, particularly as far
as its use in manufacturing industries
is concerned
For people owning country houses
an engine recently devised will possess
great interest. 1t is so arranged that
it will drive circular saw, churns,
cream scparators, dynamo for electric
lighting, and throw two powerful jets
of water for fire extinction. 1t devel-
ops SIX horsepower and will deliver
one hundred and twenty gallons of wa.
ter per minute.

AN ARTISAN SPIDER.

lIo Constructs Hinged Door to Cover
His Dwelling.
The artistic work of spiders has at
all times attracted the interest of nat
uralists and laymca alike. One of the
most striking accomplishments in this
line is the nest Of II spider which lives
i'll Spain and southern France, the
Ctcni>a fodiens. This spider bores
tnbelil!e hole about four or five inches
in the ground, which it lines with a
fine weft. soft as velvet. Over the top
the little insect builds Il nd or earth
which fits exactly over the somewhat
santing aperture. The under side of
the cover is also padded with the ,lowny
weft in such Il way that one side of it
is hinged to the lower tube. The hinge
is strong enough to hold the two to-
gether. The upper side Of the lid is

CAUSE AND EFFEor.
Che Humming and Singing OF Telegraph
and Telephone Wires.

anu Telephone Wires.
You have all heard the humming and
singing of telegraph and telephone
wires as you passed the poles along
the streets. No doubt YOU have con-
Guided that it is caused by the action
OF the wind on the wires, and given it
no further thought. But it is not true,
continues the Boston Journal of Com
mercc, that the singing is caused by
the wind. and. if you are at all obsery-
ing, you will notice that often the
hamming sound is 10 be heard these
coid winter mornings when the smoke
from chimncys goes straight up until
1T is lost in the clouds, and when the
frost on the wires is as fuzly and thick
as roll of chenille fringe. The wind
has nothing to do with the sound, and,
according to an Austrian scientist. the
vibrations are due to the changes of
atmospheric temperature, and espe-
cialiy through the action OF cold, rs a
lowering of temperature induces a
shortening of the wires extending over
the whole OF the conductor. Il consid-
cradle amount of friction is produced
on the supporting bells, thus inducing
sounds both in the wires and th. poles.
When this humming has been going on
birds have mistaken the sound for in
sects inside the poles, and have been
seen to peck with their bills on the
outside as they do upon the apple and
other trees. The story is told OF a
bear that mistoole the humming noise
rs coming from Il nest of bees, and
clawcd at the pole, and tore away the
stones ut its base in the hope Of finding
the m"ch-coveted honey.

COMMUNICATIONS

LONDON, May Eek Minister Grant
says concerning the case OF Max Judd,
recently appointed United States consul
general to Vienna, that for some time
after Max Judd was appointed it was
doubtful that an eXequatur would be
granted him. In response to Mr.. Grants
first request for Mr.. Judd's exoouatur
Count Kalnoky, minister of foreign af-
fairs, said that no decision had been
reached in the matter.
A second request from Mr.. Grant for
the exequatur ELECTED from Count Kali
noky the state ment that there were
doubts as 10 me granting OF it, Mr..
Grants third, las. and most pressing re-
quest was answered by Count Taarc,
Austrian premier and minister OF the
interior, who eventually informed him
that the exequatur would be granted.

not covered with the web, but looks
like the earth which surrounds this
artistic domicile, which makes it very
difficult to discover the presence of the
spider. The inner side of the lid is pro-
vidcd with small holes from which the
animal hangs suspended when inside
its house with the lid closed. If the
spider is on the hunt for prey it opens
the lid and closes it immediately as
soon as a careless insect has entered
the trap. The lid is held down so
tightly Ivy the spider that it is difficult
to pry it open with Il penknifc

the day is that inaugurated this season
by the management of the John Robin

OF the amount would scarcely be credited

production on q scale of magnitude and
opulont splendcr never prece dcnted OF
the new biblical spectacle OF Solomon,
his Temple, and the Queen of Sheba, a
spectacle prolific in grand scenic effect,
Impressive in pomp and pageantry,
realistic in its reproductions Of the
pltriarchal era, sacred in it's biblical
associations, and enhancing in it's bal

With such q dc sirable feature added
to tho admirable circus, the vast men

d!ome, the many canvases, spacious as
they are, should and will be packed

and gratified spectators each afternoon
