THIEVING CHECKED BY NOTE.

EW housekcepers can have failed to
observe change of level in the con-
tents OF wile-bottles between each
meal, the said change being Invariably in a
downward direction. Now, before blaming
the servant, or giving him or her notice TO
quit, 1T is as well to see that you are on
sure ground, and not acting on a mere sus
piclon. How is this TO be done? Some
ladies have recourse to a small strip Of stick
ing plaster, or make a scratch with their
diamond rings to mark the level OF the wine
But the plaster may be rubbed off and the
diamond may crack the bottle. There is a
better way. Every bottle, on being un-
corked, cmits very clear Sound-shrW or
deep, in proportion as it is full or empty
Between the two there exists q full chro-
matte scale, betraying the slightest varia-
tons caused by the addition or abstraction
of a teaspoonful of liquid. All that is
needed, therefore is to take the note of
the bottle after each meal-checkinC it by
the piano if your ear is not sufficiently
practiced to retain the sound-and verify it
next time the bottle is brought on the table

Usefulness of ELECTRIC Furnace

Prof. DeTar, in a lecture before the
Royal Society, in discussing the poSSibil-
tiles of syuthetical chemistry which have
been disclosed by the electric furnace,
stated that from the carbGes prepared iu
the electric furnace we can get benzine
aud, therefore, all the aniuEe dyes, and
even crude petroleum. ACetyIene gas, an
other product OF the electric furnace, com
bnes directly with nitrogen in the presence
OF an electric discharge, and gives prussic
acid, and from this we can readily get
cyanides. In fact, there is no end 70 the
sphere OF usefulness Of the electric fur
mace. which, he states, may even solve the
problem of making heterogeneous manures.-
