NJ. Charles Margot of the physical
laboratory of the University of Geneva,
says L'ludustrie, has made a curious
discovery. lie has found that by rub
bling on glass with an aluminium point
we obtain cloar metallic lines, which
cannot be removed by washing, no mat
ter how often repeated. Many applica-
tions can be suggested for aluminium in
this direction. 1t can be used instead Of
the engraver's tool in cutting designs
on glass. With tho aluminium pencil
diamonds can be distinguished from inn

diamond. IL is possible that the new
discovery may make a great difference
in the making of cut or engraved glass.

A funny incident Of q drawing room
meeting was recently noticed. A grave
looking gentleman, with an unusually
tall hat, entercd, and seeing no rack in
the hall placed his hat ON the floor just
behind the door. Pretty soon another
grave man entered with a large, drip
ping umbrella, and peering anxiously
for the usual receptacle saw in the
gloom tho hat resting ON the floor, Ills
eyesight was probably poor, for he mis-
took it for one of the new umbrella
holders, and in il he deposited his drip
ping umbrella. This was an example
for those who followed, and in a short
time the solemn looking hat was stanch-
ly holding n dozen umbrellas. At the
end Of the meeting the water in the hat
was am inch in depth.-London Tit-Bits.

Ten years z Mr.. Edison applied for
a patent in his own country for a new
method of generating electricity, which
is now made public. 1t consists Of .

or crucible, through the closed cover of
which u stout rod Of carbon passes down
TO near the bottom of the crucible, where
1t is surrounded by dry metallic oxides
or other compounds capable of attacking
carbon uuoer heat and in rarefied air.
The closed crucible is connected with an

invention seems to have been abandoned
by Edison. At all events, it has not as

csc capital and Washington. with

was sent, giving not only the desired
details, but adding features which it
is believed will show the japanese
government the desirability Of the ar
ruugcmcnt. China has already not
flied Secretary Gresham that she will
Join Japan in acknowledging the in
dependence of Corea and win also pay
cash indemnity. The amount she
will pay is not specified It is felt in
official circles here that the gravity Of
the action taken by the United States
has not yet been fully realized by the
public, as it contenplates Il foreign
policy to which the Hawaiian incident
is said to be triiling in comparison.

there is belief that European powers
