New Method for Saving stone.

Much attention is being directed TO Il
material which has just been brought
into prominence in England, under the
name of "krushite," for the cutting Of
stone. Krushite is made in different de
grees OF fneness, and is used by quarry
owners and builders in saving AID pol
ishing granite, stone, marble and other
hard materials, in lieu of sand. Its
inventor claims that it will saw block
Of granite at the rate Of four inches in
depth per hour, and hard gritstone at
0 inches in depth per hour. One ton
of the material is claimed to he equal
to 800 tons of the sharpest sand. The
sizes already on the market vary be-
tween the finest emery powder and

free from rust, and will not stain; it
is chilled to intense hardness without
being brittle, and in action ii rolls be-
tween the block and saw blade or rub
Der; hence it retains its spherical shape
and cutting power. 1t is used in sand
blast apparatus instead of sand, and Is
substituted for diamonds in boring and
drilling. Unlike sand or emery, it does
not become imbedded in the blade or
rubber, but rolls backward and for
ward creating n crushing action on the
blocks sawn. The wear and tear OF
the blade is said to be much lower
than when sand Is used. For some
time the composition of krushite was
kept secret 1t is now declared to be
chilled metallic shot. The idea of using
chilled shot for saving hard stone is
not new, and the method was tried in
America several years ago. So that, al
though krushlte is heralded as a new
material it is actually, while possibly
an Improvement, but a modification Of
ali old adaptation. Krushite is likely
TO take the place of emery and the dia-
mond in quartz saving. Emery is
largely used in the rubbing of granite
and marble preparatory TO The polish
ing process, and in saving stones Of
the hardest kind, and diamond disks

Military TcIcgrnnhy.

Recent accounts of military evolu-
tons in Europe go to show that great
progress is being made in the utiliza-
ton of both the telegraph and the tele-
phone, especially in cavalry work.
During the late cavalry maneuvers in
England the field telegraph accompan-
led the cavalry at trot, the wire being
laid as fast as the cavalry advanced.
When the cavalry retired 1t was reCled
up with equal rapidity. 1t is under
stood that this demonstration Of the
possibility OF the telegraph wire being
used with cavalry will lead 10 an ex-
tension of the scope OF the telegraph
organization I'm the British army.
In telephone work. an interesting
experiment between Berlin and Potts
dam Is reported. A telephone line was
laid on the march by two cavalry pa
trolls, each consisting OF an officer and
two under officers. One patrol started
from Berlin. the other from Pottsdam,
WY early In the morning. Each pat
rol was furnished with a complete
telephone set and supply OF reels,
each OF which contained about n mile
Of steel wire. The end of the wire was
connected TO the town circuits in Berlin
and Potsdam respectively, and the reel

Spectrum analysis in the hands OF
Dr. higgins and Mr.. Lockyer and 9th
crs has taught us things of which the
world little expected TO be told. We
have been enabled TO measure the
speed with which clouds Of blazing hy-
drogen course across the surface Of the
sun; we have learned the pace-the fab
ulous pace-at which the most familiar
stars have been for ages approaching
to or receding from our planet, which
rs far as historical records go back,
they have always delineated on the
evening sky. We have received some
information about the elementary
atoms themselves. We have learned
that each sort of atom, when heated,
strikes upon the ether a vibration, or
set Of vibrations, whose rate Is all its
own; and that no one atom or combina-
ton of atoms, in producing its own
spectrum, encroaches even to the eX-
tent of a single line upon the spectrum
that is peculiar to its neighbor. We
have learned that the elements which
exist in the stars, and especially in the
sun, are mainly those with which we
are familiar upon earth. These are n
few lines in excess TO which we can
give no terrestrial name; and there are
still more puzzling gaps in our list.
1t is a great aggravation of the mys-
terry which besets the question of the
elements that, among the lines which
are absent from the spectrum OF the
sun, those Of nitrogen and oxygen stand
first. Oxygen constitutes the largest
portion of the solid and liquid sub
stance Of our planet so far as we know
IL; and nitrogen is very far the pre-
dominant constituent of our atmos-
phere. If the earth is n detached bit
whirled Off the mass of the sun, as cos
mogOnists love to tell us, how comes
1t that in leaving the sun we cleaned
him out so completely of his nitrogen
and oxygen that not n trace of these
gases remains behind to be discovered
even by the sensitive vision of the spec
troscope?
All these things the discovery of the
spectrum analysis has added to our
knowledge; but 1t has left us as ignor-
ant rs ever as to the nature of the ca
PRECIOUS differences which separate the
atoms from each other, or the cause to
which those differences are due.-From
Unsolvcd Problems OF Science, by the
Marquis Of Salisbury, in The Popular
Science Monthly.

WE take note that the people OF
Hamburg, including the whole imper-
ial outfit in Berlin, continue to be
much wrought up over the landing OF
few American cattle alleged to be af-
hicted with Texas fever. We do not
hear that anyone has suffered from
eating this diseased meat" so called,
nor do we expect to, inasmuch as all
the evidence goes to show that the
alarm is not well founded. But tho
incident recalls the time Of the cholera
when Hamburg was sending us over a
few cargoes of cholera patients, and
her steamship lines had agents all
over the empire scraping up more and
Offering them rates that placed pas
sage to New York within the reach
of all.

are not due to the deliberate volition
of the Russian emperor. He is as
much a tool and puppet in the hands

All fears to the effect that the
epidemic which has recently been
raging in the various hospitals and
kindred public institutions of Dublin
was nothing more nor less than the
dreaded Asiatic plague known as the
Beri-Beri, have now been set at rest.
For the doctors appointed to investi-
gste'tha matter have come to the con-
clusion that the microbe responsible
for all the evil is not that of the
oriental Beri-Beri, but is indigenous
to Dublin, and known by the namc OF
'wiski-wiski."

A Handy Storage battery.

The Importance of the storage bat
terry in future electrical work is becom-
ing daily more apparent. While in Eng
land and on the European continent
it is extensively and succ sssfully used,
in America it has met with indifferent
success. The trouble here seems to be
that storage batteries are worked with
too small margin of safety; we want
to get too much out Of them. AS w. W.
Griscom recently put 1t: "a storage
battery continually worked to its com
mercial rating Is commercial failure.
a storage battery worked sufficiently
within its capacity is invariably n con-
mercial success" A battery is now
made that, while 80 per cent lighter
than other batteries Of corresponding
capacity, can be worked well within
its capacity, and still give most salts
factory service. 1t is of unusual
strength and soHdity, and viii stand
any amount of hard usage. The lead
plates are so assembled as to expose
Il very large amount of active service
to the action of the clectrolyte The
battery can be rapidly, economically,
and efficiently charged. 1t may be both
overcharged and discharged rapidly
without detriment TO tie plates. In
proof Of his it is mentioned that
plant of these cells has been discharged
repeatedly, for the last sixteen months,
at rates of from one and one-half to
four amperes per pound of plate and
not n single plate of the batteries
submitted TO these severe tests was
"buckled" or warped. The "buckling"
or bending Of the plates after a period
of wear, has always been n fatal de-
feet of the storage battery, and this
new record is of value in showing "A
distinct stride in its construction. The
new battery Is well suited to the run
ming of electric launches, lighting, or
any service where high discharge
rate may be occasionally demanded
and il Is claimed TO be especially adapt.

LORD RosEBERY says that al Eng
land wants is peace, and doubtless
this is true. England has already as
much territory as it can take care of,
and there is no part of the world in
which it could secure a considerable
addition without coming in contact
with some civilized power. 1t is
hoped that universal peace will be
maintained, and the understanding
which it seems has been reached be-
tween England and Russia is a step in
the direction of permanent peace.

dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
and permanently curing constipation:
1t has given satisfaction to millions and
