possessing the property of phosphores-

the solar rays and afterward proved
to be luminous IN the dark, this being
done in such way as to fix upon
the memory the mean value of the pro-

and the time also was noted during
which the light was strong, less strong
and weak, respectively. The tubes were
next placed in bright sunlight for one
minute and then suddenly introduced
inl0 a double-walied glass cylinder, the
interspace of which was filled With
nitrous oxide al 140 degrees c. In about
five or six minutes the temperature
of the tubes was some 100 degrees. They
were then Withdrawn, and, when OBJ
served in a perfectly dark chamber, no
luminosity whatever was percepuble.
AS the tubes recovered their normal
temperature, however, the phosphores-
cence returned, without the exciting
agency Of the suns rays or Of diffused
light. These results were proved 10 be

TIE LESSEPS CANAL.
That Name Should Have Been Bestowed
. Z 81.


on Il Long Ago.
". Guichard's suggestion that the
Suez canal should bear the name OF
Lesseps is the subject of negotiations
and is likely 10 be. speedily realized,
says a Paris correspondent of the Lon
don Times. Surprise has indeed been
felt Tor years that this has not been
done before, and but for the lamentable
Panama affair NJ. de Lesseps would
probably have had the satisfaction,
while still in full enjoyment Of his
faculties, Of seeing his name indissolu-
bly, linked with his work. It is strange
that while said Fasha has given his
name to Port Said, Ismail Pasha to
Ismaiiia ana Tewtlk Pasha to Port
Tewhk, nothing in Egypt bears the
name Of Le&5cps. At the opening of the
canal in 1869 in the presence Of the En-
press Eugene everybody expected that
some distinction would be conferred on
him. the general opinion being that he
would be created Due de SueZ. The en-
press was believed to have taken tine
decree for this purpose with her and
astonishmeut was felt at his being
merely uominsted grand cross Of the
Legion Of Honor. The omission is still
unexplained Some think that, as NJ.
de LezsepS had then no property, this
stood in the way Of his receiving a
dukcdom. PROVISION for himself and
his heirs would have been necessary
end the parliamentary opposition was
already too vigilant and powerful for
this to be ysntured upon. Others think
that, rko4gA the emperor had sent the
empress to open the canal, its success
was still too doubtful for a dukedom TO
be attached 10 it. However this may
be. twenty sss ysays have elapsed and
though the great waterway which Al.
de Lesseps created would doubtless
long in common paTlance bear the name
bT which It is at present known, it
would only be a just tribute TO the
memory Of 'le grand Francais' to call
il Officially the LeEseps canal.
