THE remedial effects OF laughter
are really wonderful. Cases have
been known where a hearty laugh has
banishcd disease and preserved life
by "a sudden effort of nature. We
are told that the great Erasmus, the
eminent t~heOlOgiao, laughed so
heartily at a satirical remark that he
broke a tumor and recovered his
health. In a treatise on Laugh

The Earth's Motion Made Visible.

how the carth's revolution may be
made manifest TO the eve. DR.. l.
Swift, in Popular Astronomy says:
Place on u floor ola Don free from

bowl nearly filled with water and
sprinkle over the surface of the water
an even coat of lvcopodiuin powder,
and across this make a narrow black
line of pulverized charcoal. Place the
bowl so that the black line shall coin.
eide with 4 crack in the floor or, il the
room be carpeted, lay n stick upon the
floor exactly parallel with the mark.
After a few hours it will be found
that the line is no longer parallel with
the stationary object, but has moved
from east to west, proving that. du.
ring this inter val, the earth has moved
from west to east,
The reason appears TO me to be that
the solid floor has with the earth and
bowl moved from west to east, and sc
has the water also, but ut a slower
rate, as there is a slight inertia, Of
which the yielding liquid does moi
instantly partakc, to be overcome. II
will be seen that the line or charcoal
mark always moved from east to west

The Best Preservative Paint for
IrcnWork.

Mr.. W. Thompson recently read a
paper before the Manchester Associa.
ton of Engineers, on 'The Influence
of Some Chemical Agents in Produc.
ing Injury to Iron aud Steel" in which
reference was made to the effects of
different paints and varnishes used for
the preservatiOn,,of structural iron and
steel from rust. From experiments
made by himself, Mr., Thomson has
arrived at the conclusion that red lead
paint is the preServatiyc. This result
had struck him as remarkable, because
red lead is highly oxidizing substance;
but the reason was found to be that
the red lead had the effect of produc-
ing a skin of the unoXidizablc and
protective black or magnetic oxide on
the iron itself under the paint. The
author has also found that other oxi
dining agents. such as magnanese
dioxide, form a paint which preserves
iron from rustlng; and this discovery
he regards as of great industrial i'm.
portance. Mr.. Thomson explained
that, having been required some time
ago to make a considerable number
of experiments to ascertain tho most
suitable paint for protecting u large
iron structure from the action OF sea
water spray and rain, he arrive at the
conclusion that red lead paint was the
best he could fine for the purpose. Mr..
John West, u yice.presidcnt of the
society, who presided Oil the occasion
of the reading of the paper. supported
he statements and views of Mr.. Thorn.
ton that red lead is the best Preserva
tive paint for iron work. The chief
novelty brought out in the paper was
