Conveying LiquId Air.

Among the recent successes OF
chemical science is Prof Dewar's con-
veyance of a considerable quantity of
LIQUID air from London to Cam bridge
Condcnsing the various detailed &C
counts of this achievement which
have appeared, the simple fact may be
stated that the liquid air was carried
IN a double glass, vacuum jacketed
flask, the space between the inner and
outer TASKS containing nothing but
extremely attenuated mercurial vapor
together with little liquid mercury.
On pouring liquid air into the inner
flask, its outer surface is rapidly COW
cred with a mercuriaI film of extreme
thinness, forming a reflection surface
highly impervious to radiant heat As
soon as this is formed the whole appa-
ratns Is packed in solid carbonic acid,
which at once freezes the liquid mer-
curry, arrests the deposit upon the mir
ror, reduces the mercuria1 vapor to an
infinitesimal quantity. forms an al
most perfect vacuum, and supplies an
envelope so degrees below zero; thus
protected, the liquid air was conveyed

The source Of Petroleum.

The theory that the remains of ami
mails form the raw materials from
which petroleum is formed by nature
is still held by some prominent scien-
lists; and, as to the manner in which
the organic substances of those ami
mails became decomposed DR.. Engler
sets forth as primary starting point
the fact that.such substance consists
essentially of nitrogenated material
and fat, the former easily decomposed,
the latter very staple, as has been
well known for long time, and dem
onstrated by exact Investigations, ex-
amples in proof being the wax of
cadavers in old graves, the fat in the
bones of mammals thousands of years
old, and the fat on the bottom of the
ocean recently found. Whether, and
how, the fat was decomposed in this
long period by the water splitting up
glycerol and forming the free acid
for instance, the fat in the bones of
mammals-can not be answered, but
both, fat as well as the fatty acids,
form petroleum when distilled under
pressure. One of the many possibili-
ties cited by DR.. Engler, by which the
mechanical process of the transmuta-
ton of fat into petroleum may have
taken place, is that remains of the
character IN question, wrapped in
mud, and transported by the currents
of the ocean easily accumulate, and,
later on. under the pressure of sedi-
mentary layers or strata-perhaps I'M
der the influence of heat, too-are
transformed into petroleum.

Platte VALLEY DRAIIsAoE.

The zEsny Proposed Ixrieating Canals
Nay Drain the F7stte Dry.
It has been demonstrated that the
Platte valley lies on top Of q ridge
which constitutes the backbone of the
state running east and west; that the
ground falls away on both sides Of the
Platte; that the popular belief that
the northern part of the state is higher
than the southern is q fallacy, there
being but little difference between the
attitudes Of the Republican and the
Niobrara; that the dryness of the
Platte between North Platte and
Columbus is due to the low altitude of
the parallel Loup, which drains the
water away, returning it to the Platte
in large volume at Colum bus; and that
it would be perfectly feasible to con-
meet the South Loup with the Platte
near North Platte and leave the pres
emit bed of the Platte as dry as bone
all the way to Columbus. 1t is not
likely that diversion will ever be at
tempted, but the possibility together
with the certainty that the North
Platte viii be called upon to feed in
Vulnerable irrigation canals, will cause
the people in the thriving cities along
the Platte to watch closely all canal
and power schemes in the district be-
tween their river and the Loup.
Serious attempts TO divert the waters
of the Platte will of course be met
with determined opposition.

portions Of the oceans floor, and have
risen from the waters partly because
OF the retreat of the latters and, as
continents are formed. one part of the
waters of the seas is transported to
them in the character Of lakes. rivers,
eternal SHOWS, glaciers and organized
substances. and owing to this action
the waters of the oceans have been
constantly diminishing and their levels
lowered correspondingly. Again, in
proportion as the earth cools down,
ice accumulates near the poles and on
the tops of mountains, and water is
taken more deeply into the surface of
the terrestrial crust. the formation of
hydrated minerals being everywhere
manifested In view of all this, the
conclusion is regarded As inevitable
that, since all the water which has
ever existed may still exist in the form
of perpetual ice, snow. hydrated min
erals, etc, the waters of all oceans
have consequently been gradually dis
appearing, and that the lowering of
the oceans is going on even at the
present time, faster. perhaps, than
ever before.

MILE an EnnIsinn.

1t has been found by experiment that
various animal and vegetable oils can
be mixed with water and broken up
into minute globu1es of fat, quite
evenly distributed through the water,
forming true emulsions, says an insti-
tute speaker. Thus liquids can be
made closely resembling milk and
which act like milk For a time, and
while greatly moved, the emulsion is
preserved. If left at rest, gravity acts
60 bring the fats into a mass at the
top like cream. And by churning, the
fats can be gathered into a kind of
butter. In these and other ways, such
artificial milks or emulsions act so
very like true milk that, reasoning
by analogy, there is a strong argu-
ment that cows milk is simply an
emulsion. If this is true, there is one
important clue obtained to churning
Alright. If there are no sacs to rupture
or break, there is no need of the
violent beating which was given milk
and cream, in former days to compel
the butter to ''come" Milk being a
simple emulsion, and acting like other
emulsions made by experimenters, all
it needs is gentle agitation. under fav-
orable conditions, to cause the fats to
collect and form butter.

Flow Russian Peasants Live.

Under the same roof which shelters
the family, the cattle and other deni-
zens of the barnyard are also housed,
a continuous roof of thatch usually
extending over both house and yard,
says a writer in Demorest's. The re-
lations between the stocl1yard and
house are so intimate that at times,
when the weather is particularly Sc
we're or sucking calf may be ailing,
it is brought into the house to share
the only apartment with the family.
The rear part of the house is partially
occupied by a large stove, IN which
fire burns continuously for eight
months of the year. The stove is ar
ranged somewhat like a bakers oven.
The FIRE is lit in the morning, and,
after two or three hours, when the
wood is reduced to Goals, the fue
plate, or damper, is shut; the brick
walls being very thick, the oven re-
mains warm until the next day, when
the fire is lit again.
This stove serves every purpose of
the household, even supplying COM

away at bed time in gallery which
runs across the rear of the apartment,
above the stove, the children occupy
ing one end, the seniors the other. In
some sections an innovation has been
made by inserting board partitions IN
the balcony, thus giving more privacy
to the sleeping quarters of the differ
ent members of the family. On Satur-
day all the mem bers of the family
crawl into the oven in turn and have
good wash, using little home made
wooden tub and bundle of birch
twigs. An abundant supply of the
latter is gathered in the spring while
the leaves of the birch are green and
fragrant. The furniture of the house
is usually very meager, consisting of
homemade benches and tables and a
variety of articles which have found
their way there from the homes of
their wealthy neighbors.

Intsrlocking Pavements.

a newly proposed system of pave
ment material and construction pre-
sents, as its principal feature. COM
bination of interlocking prismoidal
blocks in conjunction with concrete
supporting foundation, with boundary
curbs of the roadway, and a grating
of cement or asphaltum by means of
which the blocks are firmly interlocked
and are interdependent upon each
other for support. In this way the
foundation is entirely relieved from
the pressure which would arise from
any one block Independently. As
every block is supported in one direc-
ton between two others which have
diverging bases while in direction
at right angles with these, it IN turn
serves to support the abu tting ends of
two other blocks which fit against it.
This construction leaves spaces be-
tween the blocks and also spaces be-
tween those at the sides of the curb
ing, which are filled with the material
for binding the blocks together. The
whole surface is finally coated with

is nothing new, however, in all of this
except the method Of approach. as the
Romans 2, GOO years ago fed their work
oxen on leaves and twigs. The ques-
ton is one of economy. Shall we find
crop of leaves as economical as crop
of grass? There is but one answer to
the question, where grass can be OBJ
tanned. The experiments mentioned
have been undertaken in Europe be-
cause it was question largely of kill
ing the cattle or feeding them on
leaves and twigs, on account of the
widespread failure of the grass crop.

Photoeraphine Experiments.

Among the recent announced i'm
provements in Photographic methods
and materials, mention is made of a
new substance produced by soaking
cellulose fiber in Is per cent solution
of caustic soda and then exposing the
resulting compound to the action of
carbon disulphide vapors for three
hours in a closed vessel; yellowish
mass is thus formed, which gives a so
luton of great viscosity when dis
solved in water, and from which it is
precipitated by the addition of alco-
hol or salt and water, while its solu-
bility is destroyed by heating to 90 de-
grees c., this converting it into a
horny, structureless mass of cellulose,
somewhat Microscopic and probably
suitable for suitable for support to
the sensitive Photographic film, and it
may eventually replace celluloid. 1t
is said to be possible to coat glass
plate with the solution and then pre-
cipitate upon it the insoluble film by
means of salt and water and subse
quent heating, any adhering chemi-
Gals under this management being
readily removed by washing.

A CARGO OF ONIONs-People who had
occasion to go down to the Delaware
river front last evening in the neigh
borhood OF Dock street, encountered,
as they approached the wharf, the
pungent odor of onions to a marked
degree. It was as though ten-acre
lot with onions laid only an inch apart
was making itself heard from. In
vestigation showed that the smell
came from the schooner Eva May,
which has on board whole cargo of
onions-about 800 tons of them
which she brought from Bermuda.
The captain never carried that kind
of freight before, and said it was
rather hard on his olfactory nerves
just at first. However, he and his
crew are used to the odor, and don't
mind it. One advantage they have,
which is that no one on board suffers
from insomnia The officers and
sailors sleep like tops when off duty,
and have to be kept moving to make
them stay awake when on watch. Tins
is due to the soporifc effect of the
onion smell, and any one who cant
sleep and would like to, can crafty

Making an Asparagus Bed.

OF all the crops for the market gar
den, especially if conveniently situated
to a large city, asparagus is one of the
most satisfactory, because it is easy to
cultivate, easy to gather and easy to
sell The land should be heavily ma
nured and worked up to depth of at
least ten inches, says Canadian Horti-
culturist- Trenches are then opened
up to a depth of nine inches with q
pillow. The plants should be set about
three inches apart in these trenches.
and enough earth packed about the
roots to cover them well, and the har-
row viii complete the job, throwing

as it is drawn lengthwise over the

fall or spring. At the end of the sea-
son the trenches viii be partially Gov
cred in and during the next year may
be cultivated level, leaving the roots
eight or nine inches below the surface
of the ground. Every spFin the
whole surface should receive tn. rough
cultivation with the plow and harrow,
and be well manured. Mr. Garfield of

Foundations in ouicksand.

The well-known German engineer,
Neukirch, in a paper on making foun-
dations in quicksand urges that the
sand on which the founda ton is to rest
be converted into solid concrete by
blowing into it, by air pressure, pow
dered dry hydraulic cement, using for
this purpose IL inch pipe drawn to
point at its lower end and having
three or more 3s inch holes. In prac-
tice, this pipe is joined at its upper
end by rubber tube to an injector,
which is connected to a source of COM
pressed air and is fed with dry cement,
the sinking of the pipe to the depth
required being facilitated by blowing
arr through it during its descent and
setting it in motion, depth reaching
to 10 feet being thus quickly accom-
plished After this the cement is fed
in and carried into the sand by the air.
which, being forced up through the
former, insures a thorough mixture
with the cement, and the tube is then
slowly withdrawn, the supply of
cement being continued until it
reaches the surface, the concrete
formed in this way taking several
weeks to harden and requiring some
months to attain its full strength.
Further the whole area to be treated
is divided into number of small areas
of about square foot each, and, the
tube being sunk successfully and oper-
ated on each of the squares, it is found
that the mixture of the sand and
cement produced occupies less space
than did the sand alone before the
operation. This method of operation
has been resorted to successfully in
cofferdam construction and sewer
work where such had to be laid in
