A very simple method of preventiE,
hard deposits IL steam boilers is men
toned by VI. Schmidt, French en-
gineer There are two boilers in use at
the same time. one being at rest, and
the water in use is very bad, being very
calcareous and magnesic, with organic
matter, chlorides and little sulphate OF
of lime. Each boiler is allowed to go on
working for about 500 hours before
being cleaned, when it is stopped,
with the water in it, and allowed to cool
down for about a week. The masonry
h allowed to become cold, and then the
tap is opened, also the safety valve. so
that the water runs naturally out of the
boiler, the latter, when empty, being en-
tered and simply swept. The deposit,
being in the form of damp mud, is easily
swept away, leaving the boiler as clean
inside as if II We're new.
This method has been in use some five
years and seems to show that the ordi-
nary hardening of deposits in boilers is
due to the absence of water in them
while the mud and the iron are being
heated by the brickwork when the boiler
has been einptied by the ordinary meth
cd under pressure. 1t is necessary, how
ever, under this system, to be able to do
without the particular boiler for soma
eight days.-New York Sun.

The Ermine.

The ermine is a queer animal. It
is one thing in winter and another
thing in summer. That is a strange
statement, but it is true. for In
winter the animals fur is as white
as snow and is called the ermine In
summer its fur turns reddish brown
on the upper part OF the body and
light yellow on the lower part; the
animal is then known as the stOat
This change is quite familiar to
naturalists but not to unscientitlc
people, and the ermine and the stOat
are, therefore, generally regarded as
distinct animals
The fur of the ermine is much val
ued and is in great request At one
time it was a mark of royalty. and
the state robes of judges and mag
lstrates were lined with it as an en-
