Cold md Electricity.

That extreme cold paralyzes every
vital function is Of course a piece OF
everyday knowledge. But it has
been left to Professor Pictet, who
has been conducting some expert
ments on this subject, to discover
that at a temperature Of $50 degrees
below the centigrade zero there is no
chemical action between nitric or
sulphuric acid and potash, between
oxygen and potassium, though, un-
der ordinary circumstances, the at
fnity of the latter metal for oxygen
is so great that twill burn If thrown
into water, owing to its combination
with the oxygen in that fluid. But
If the electric spark Is played on bod
les which have thus lost the power
Of chemical affinity, some new and
curious combinations result. The
latest investigations, the conclusions
Of which, however, have been theo-
retically presaged for some years
past, may require us toreconsider the
question of the temperature of outer
space and the possibility of an at
mosphere composed Of gases tn COM
bination existing there.

Notice to Invetors.

There was never a time in the history O,
our country when the demand for Inventions
and improvements in the arts and SCIENCES
generally was so great as now. The con-
venicnces OF mankind in the factory and
work shop, the household, on the farm, and
in official life, require continual accessions
to the appurtenances and implements to each
in order TO save labor, time ard expense
The political change in the administration
of government does not affect the progress
OF the American inventor, who being on the
alert, and ready to perceive the existing
deficiencies, does not permit the affairs Of
government to deter him from quickly con.
ceiyng the remedy to overcome existing
discrepancies. Too great care cannot be
exercised in choosing a competent and skill
full attorney to prepare and prosecute an
application for patent Valuable interests
haye been lost and destroyed in lnnumerable
instances by the employment of incompe-
tent counsel and especially IS this advice

week or two ago, but I cannot vouch
for the absolute truth of 1t. Sir

No Blanks in this Competition.

This is competition of rather an unusual
nature 1t IS common to offer prizes for the
best story, or picture, or architectural plan,
all the competitors risklng the loss OF their
labor and the successful one merely selling
his for the amount of the prize. But the
Press Claims Companys offer is something
entirely different Each person is asked
merely to help himself, and the one who
helps himself to the best advantage is to be
rewarded for doing it. The prize is only a
stimulus to do something that would be well
worth doing 1t. The architect whose COM
petitive plan for club house on certain
corner is not accepted has spent his labor on
something of very little use to him. But the
person who patents simple and useful de-
vice in the Press Claims Companp's Cumpe-
tition, need not worry If he fail to secure the
prize, He has substantial result to show
for his wcrk-One that will command its val.

Improvement can be too simple to be worth
paicnting. TIE simbler the better. The

Before and After

As an instance of the surprising in
crease in value that a picture &C
quires after an artist has become ia
nous, the following Is interesting.
A dealer once went to the studio Of
David Cox and purchased a painting
off his easel for 410. A few days
afterward the old man went to him
and said:
"You are young and have a wife
and children. / think ! have charged
you too much for that picture, and !
have brought you back e."
Not many years after that same
painting was sold for $50 guineas.-'

The Tower Of Pisa.

The famous leaning tower Of Pisa
is campanile or bell tower. The
building, which is cylindrical in
form, is 1877 feet high and 50 feet In
diameter, made entirely OF white
marble. 1t is called the leaning tow
or from the fact that it inclines some
80 feet from the perpendicular, and
1t is not generally known that this
inclination, which gives tho tower
such a remarkable appearance, was
not intentional. At the time it was
about half done the error in meas
urement was perceived. It was
guarded against by the use Of extra
braces in the further construction OF
the building and an adaptation OF
the stone in the highest portion.
There are seven bells on the top Of
the tower, the largest of which
weighs 1000 pounds, and these are
SO placed as to counteract as far as
possiblethe leaning Of the tower it.
