Recovering Rubber.

An important discovery has been
made in the rubber industry. Hitherto,
in recovering rubber from old goods,
and especially from old rubber shoes,
it has been the custom to use sulphuric
acid. which in this capacity has many
drawbacks. A solution has been dis
covered which is not an acid at all, but
rather of saline nature. which is said
to free the rubber from any foreign
material in Il few minutes. Its first
coat is slightly higher than that Of sui
phuric acid. but. on the other hand, it
does not lose strength by use, and can
be washed out of the rubber, evap-
grated, and used over and over again.
The action of sulphuric acid upon
whiting. one Of the most common adul-
tclantS used in rubber shoes, is to turn
it into sulphate Of lime or gypsum. IN
ingredient that is quite out of place in
a rubber compound. The saline solu-
ton. however has no effect on any
thing except cellulose. The rubber re-
covered by this process has closer
grain and in better condition than that
secured through the acid process.

Soap Paper.

Travellers on the European continent
know by experience that unless they
take soap in travelling bage they will
in all probability have to make their
toilet without any. A form of soap
which will be appreciated by them is
the new soap paper brought out in
France. The paper is Cut into pieces,
slightly larger than visiting cards, and
is covered OH each side with a thin lay
err Of ordinary soap or Of soap various
ly colored and perfumed. These soap
tickets are put into memorandum books
card cases or pocket books. just as if
they We're business or visiting cards.
Each piece serves for one time only,
and is used like an ordinary cake Of
soap In the manufacture of this new
product sheets Of unsizcd paper are
in Il bath Of cocoanut-oil soap. prepared
in the same way as for the manufact-
ure Of toilet soaps. The strips Of paper
are dried. passed between two rollers
in order to render them smooth and
slightly. and then cut to the proper di-
mansions and stamped with any desir-
ed mark

Electric Publication Of OIL.

From the results of M. Levat's ex-
periments in new methods of purify
ing OIL it is certain that electricity
will soon be extensively employed for
the purpose. In testing the efficacy
of the electrical publication of oil, NJ.
Levat placed Il column of olive oil of
inferior quality, bitter in taste and
cloudcd in color, in contact with the
negative clcctrode Of voltameter
which was in circuit with Il small
magnetic machine After electrolysis
the oil was clarified and sweet tasting.
In all, twenty samples of oil from
various sources were hydrogenated, in
every case with marked improvement
in taste and color The special treat
mcnt Of oils Of bad quality gave very
Interesting results. Tho oils were prin-
cipally for lubricatins purposes. and
lad ut least ) per cent Of free acid.
On bcir;. subjected to the current the
oils lost in every case 20 per cent CT
their acdity, and after Il second cleo
troll! sis the acidity was diminished by
80 per cent. NJ. Lcyat states that he
was unable to diminish it further.

Electric Fog-SignnIins.

A visual and audible and permanent
recording fog-signaling" apparatus has
been patented in England. BY the aid
Of this apparatus each time locomo-
tive passes signal that signal is re-
pcatcd ON the engine, an Indicator
points to cline clear" or to danger"
and one or two bells is rung. At the
same instant an index in the cabin
gives corresponding signal. 80 that
the signalman not only knows that a
locomotive has passed Il particular sig
nal, but he also knows that the driver
has been correctly informed of its po-
sition. The two instrumcnts-that in
the cabin and that on the locomotive
are in series. so must give the same in
dications. The same wire also serves
to work an electric repeater in the
cabin to show at all times the position
Of the signal. The apparatus is quite
simple, and Is said to be in many re-
spccts the best electrical device of the
kind that has been brought out.

bottles of Electric Bitters and seven
boxes of Bucklen's Arnica Salve, and
his leg is sound and we'll. John
Speaker, Catawba, O., had five large

he was incurable. One bottle Electric

Flying NInde Easy.

The ma1hematicians IF st. Pc ers-
burg art greatly exercised over lect-
IRE which has been given in that city
by the latest claimant for the honor
Of discovering the only trus principles
of ar,iiici;.! flight. NJ. TShcrnoff, the
lecturer. had Il ke"nly critical audience.
us he appeared before the Russian
Tee hl:ical society. and they were at
first disposed 10 receive his .spoa "nntly
ai,Gacious theses With suspicion and
inurcduity. Before the lecture Was
concluded, however. they began 10 rec
o:,nizc that NJ I'shcrno!f's theories de-
served at all events. serious considera-
ton. "Herctofore." said the lecturer.
1.-The principle that undsrlcs the flight
of birds has remained Il secret. for the
supposition prevailing until now that
it was based on the resistance OF the
air is gratuitous nsi false. 1t was.
therefore. inevitable that all artificial
wings constructed in accordance with
that theory should prove utterly worth
less The fact is that it is founded on
the principle of inertia, and from this
point of view the flight Of birds has
never been Investigated" NJ. Usher
no!T approached tho maxim. which is
the foundation Of his theory. Force
increases in direct ratio t" the mass,
from an wholly unexpected point CT
view. He splits UP the given mass
and the units of tine into very small
fractional parts. thus arriving ut cQua-
tons of parabolic surfaces. Which he
maintains must not be considerable.
The summation of these parlbolic sur
faces are the mathematical expression
of the wing of bird. In the case OF
eagles and other birIs Of prey, which
are capable of carrying lambs and
heavy bodies generally i'll the air. he
laid great stress on the fact that their
wings are not compact. but marked by
intervals between the feathers. This,
he claimed is Il strong conf 'mation
Of his assertion. for from the point OF
view Of the resistance theory these in
tervals are a hinderaEc'. whereas in
the light of his theor; OF inertia the
lifting power of the birds OF prey
is dependent upon them. In further
confederation of his discovery. NJ.
Tshcrnoff placed a specially construct
ed machine on the dish Of Il balance,
exactly Contemplating it with the nee
essary weights, which he laid in the
opposite dish Then he set in motion
the mechanism inside. whereuDon, to
| the astonishment of all present. the
machine became Immediately lighter,
and the dish of the balance in which
| it stood rose up proportionatelE. w nat
| ever may he the fate Of NJ. TshernoT
| theories. their propounder has. ut all
| events. had the satisfaction Of pro-
ducing Il genuine sensation before
conservative scientific society. The eN-
| citement over the matter in st. Peters
| burg is said to be extreme, aud the
mathematicians of the university are
going to test the theory.
