A Sensitive Barometer.

A description appears in The Rivista
Scientifica Industriale of a new barome-
ter of high sensibility and of special
service in coal mines. The apparatus
consists of a vertical tube 90 meters in
interior diameter and about meter in
length, the bottom of which is curved
in the ordinary manner, the opening at
the top, however, being furnished with
a steel peg screwed in an iron collar at
tached to the tube. A long capillary
tube meter in diameter is fixed at right
angles on the large tube little above
the curved part and terminating in an
open receptacle.
The quantity of mercury is regulated
so that the meniscus of mercury presents
itself in the middle of the capillary tube.
The slightest difference of atmospheric
pressure will cause the mercury to rise
and act on the capillary column, and a
fall Of pressure is indicated by the in
verse movement of the column. In this
way the increase or decrease of the mer-
curry in the large tube is augmented ac-
cording to the section of the tubes, and
in this case as 400 is to /, so that a va
ration of 400 of millimeter can thus
be noted, If the variation in pressure
becomes great enough to cause the menis-
Gus to leave the capillary tube, that may
be remedied by screwing or unscrewing
the upper peg

"There is a spirit bell in Arizona that
is almost universally believed in" said
w. H. johnson Of Tombstone. at is
about 40 or 80 miles from Tucson, at
convent which was formerly a monas-
tery. It is one Of the Oldest cathedrals
and converts in the United States, hav-
ing been built long before Arizona was
part of this country. The story goes
that there were originally seven silver
bells, but one night some sacrilegious
person stole one Of them.
"At midnight these chimes are rung,
and the seven bells can be distinctly
heard. One of them, however, is sep
arate from the others, and when they
are silent it keeps up its musical tones
as it passes down from the tower and
through the cathedral. Upon some holy
days a spirit monk can be seen carrying
the bell away from the tower, but at
other times no one can be seen. The
chimes are rung at other hours, but
there are but six bells, and an inspec-
ton of the tower discloses but six. The
convent is visited by almost every tour
ist who comes to Arizona, but none of
them has ever solved the mystery Of the
spirit bell. st. Louis Globe-Democrat.

Forced Draft.

Our cruisers doubtless have as high a
rate of speed as those of Great Britain.
There is no reason to suppose that the re-
suit of the speed trials as given are not
exact. Yet only a novice will have the
idea that they will represent the normal
speed on the high seas. Contractors take
care that nothing is omitted to make the
speed all that is possible, with bottoms
perfectly clean, picked coal and the en-
ployment of the most expert fremen,
with forced draft. 1t is well known that
considerable repairs are frequent after
speed trials, from taxing the machinery
and boilers to their utmost, and perhaps
injuries result that do not come to ltSht
for some time.
A forced draft is so destructive to
boilers when inexperienced fremen are
employed that only few hours steam
ing may seriously impair them, Cap
tain Evans stated that when in command
of the Baltimore in the Behring sea he
ordered forced draft in order to over
take a vessel before dark. As a result
the boilers had 500 leaky tubes.-North
American Review.

1t has come to be a scientific axiom
that the waters of the Dead sea are abso-

even this supposed great truth is wrong.
he finds innumerable numbers Of species

TO be Of very malevolent character.
Animals inoculated die in a few days
