Novel Test Of Pure Air.

A novel method for the detection of
the admixture OF one gas with another
has lately been described. 1t depends
upon the fact that when air, OF the
same composition and temperature,
is blown into similar pipes, such as
organ pipes, they produce the same
note, but if one OF the two feed-pipes
be fed with air containing even a
small proportion of gas of different
density it gets out of tune and beats
are produced, the number of beats
being proportional to the amount of
the foreign gas in the mixture. 1t is
claimed that by this method the pres
ence of marsh gas in q mine can be
detected, aud that it can be employed
for acousticallY determining the
amount of oarbonic acid in furnace
gases.

the correct thing to stop in there for
lunch, or to drink a cup of tea. The
tea room is something of an innovation
for New York. and it is interesting to
note that its prOprietors, Mrs John A.
LOWery and Miss Margaret Wilmer

The afternoon tea room is as dainty
as room in private house,

of taste Tt is located in the lower
room of the house and Is beautifully
decorated. The windows are hung
with pretty curtains and the fittings
are mostly of pink and violet The
curtains are of pink and the walls are
hung with rose color. over the fire
place fresh flowers are placed every
day from the greenhouse Of Mrs. Ed

bunch of yiolets may be seen. These
violets are samples of those which are
on sale at the room and which are fur
nished by Mrs Leavitt from her farm
There are eighteen small tables in
the room, each Of which viii easily seat
four people All of these tables are
crowded during the entire day. The
tables and chairs are of white enamel
and gold. and they are covered with
the Whitest of linen. The crOclSery is o.
a very pretty design, and is much the

pretty Mattresses, each of which is

and white caps trimmed with bits of
