making q pad or cake of gelatine,
glycerine and water. This forms q
stiff jelly, and II q sheet Of paper hav-
ing lines drawn or written with aniline
ink is lightly pressed upon the jelly q
reversed copy of the lines or writing
will be received thereon. The ink IL
absorbed by the jelly to such IN exc

lines or writing may be taken by
simply pressing successive sheets of
dry blank paper upon the inscribed
jelly. 1t forms q most convenient and
excellent method of duplicating letters,

illustrated In our engraving.
A United States patent for tins M
vention was granted June 1, 1880, to
the Austrian inventors, Messrs. Kways-
ser and Husak, and under the ordinary
term of the law the patent would ex-
pire June l, 1897. Section 4,sS7 of tho
United States statutes, however, pro-
vides that every patent granted for

to the neck and to each other, leaving
the double ends of both strings project
ing at the opposite ends of the chin
ney, as shown In Fig. 2. Join the open
ends Of the strings and suspend tho
glass by the upper one, on hook. To
the lower one attach heavy object,
such as the large pitcher shown in tho
illustration. Its weight will draw down
the lower cork certain distance, tho
upper one being maintained in place
by the neck of the glass. According
as the weight descends, it meets more
and more resistance, and therefore IL
will be found that the cork can support
= greater weight with each change OF
position. You may therefore increase
the weight of the pitcher by pouring
water into it until the cork finally
reaches the opening of the glass The
explanation of this curious phenomenon
il that the air between the two corks,
becoming more and more rarefied ac-
cording as the distance between them
widens, exercises an attraction on the
cork which can be overcome only by
the superior force of gravitation.-Once

Pins for insect Collections.

1t may not be generally known that
the nature of the pins used in fssten-
ing the specimens in collections Of in
sects Is matter Of great importance.
Ordinary brass pins, even when well
timed, are verv liable to oxidize in the
body of the insect. and often thus de-
stroy rare and valuable specimens.
Black vanished pins are almost rs bad,
as the glaze soon cracks, leaving the
metal exposed. Even plated pins do
not appear to resist the action of the
compounds developed in the body of
the insect, though solid silver ones win,
SO that cheap silver may at least be .
boon to the entomologists. A bronze
pin has found favor Of late, but is fur
from being perfect fastener. The
latest thing is o nickel alloy, which
possesses decided advantages Of the
common kind whose basis is brass.

A quarter Of century ago fever
patients were treated in q way that at
present seems little less than barbar-
GUS They could get no water either by
entreaty or strategy, and were
frequently almost starved, on the
theory that fever must never be fed.
Nowadays eminent medical men give
fever patients eggs. chops. beef and
other articles. In short, they feed
them on the dishes they most liked
when in health. Enormous quantities
of water are given and baths as well,

Few natural phenomena arc so diff
cult to observe as lightning. The dis
tant fash is now often recorded by pho
Biography, but what happens in the
immediate vicinity of destructive dis
charge is not generally known. II
there are witnesses they are dazzled
and deafened, and their impressions
are often confused in the highest de-
gree. Hence, scientific men are always
glad when discharge leaves its tracks
behind It, and it Is rare that discharges
are so clearly left as in q case described
and illustrated in Cosmos, Paris, No
vember II, whose account Is translated
below:
ION this date Gully %, 1899 . series
Of thunderstorms occurred In the west
Of France, In Belgium, and even In
Holland. About eleven o'clock at night
one of these was raging over the city OF
Mort, when a violent clap Of thunder
was heard. and the lightning struck the
house 60 Avenue de Paris. The electric
fluid first struck the chimney, then, de-
scending along the roof, it tore of and
threw to the ground great number Of
tiles. This done, It reached the water
pipe and followed 1t till within about
five feet of the ground. At this point
the phenomenon changed all at once;
tho electrical discharge left the pipe,
jumped across to the iron hinge Of
window-shutter, reached the fastening,
on which there are traces of fusion, and
then descended to the grating that pro
tected o cellar-window.
ITO make its path incontestable II
left its trace on tho wall, which had
been recently painted . yellowish
white. The next day It was seen that
the track Of the electricity over tho
paint had turned brown, as the photo
graph showA
1--WE are, then, in tho presence Of
positive and undeniable record. It re-
mains to explain the facts.
IN. Sieur, professor Of the college Of
Mort, to whose courtesy we owe this
photograph, thinks that the
fluid, finding in the water pipe IN in
sufficient outlet to the ground, divided,
and that one part directed itself toward
the hinges of the shutter in order to
reach the ground by the cellar. This
though It seems very nat
ural, Is not in our opinion the most
probable. The gratings, the hinges
and the fastenings of the shutter form
a mass of metal large enough to assume
