fore leaving Jeumont went through

and six months, and by more cxpedi,

use, which, moreover, will give greater
accuracy than anything known.
Hitherto astronomical mirrors and

slowly rubbing the glass with tho

The new mechanical process will pro-
duce a surface approaching n trud

of a millimeter. Even this marvellous
finish will leave a margin, astronomers
tell us, for errors. The whole finishing
process will cost 10000. The silvcring

One Recently Constructed In France IL
the Largest Ever Made.
The new mirror for the great Paris
telescope is the largest ever made. 1t
was cast at Jeumont, a manufacturing
place, and the last French station ON
the line to Liege, Cologne, and Berlin.
This splendid block of homogeneous
crystal weighs 5000 kilogrammes. It's
diameter is POS meters, being consider
ably larger than the great reflector of
Lord Rose, and in its present nearly
rough state it cost $4,000. OF course
it was conveyed to Paris in a special
train. 1t was wrapped up in heavy felt
blankets, protected by hoops Of soft
wood, with metal tires, mounted on
pivots. Thus packed, the mirror was
tightly wedged in a case that was placed
in the wagon on a bed of hurdles and
layers of hay.
For greater safety the train stopped
only once at Tergnier, and went ut rs
slow a pace as a royal train, escorted by
a railway Inspector. 1t was insured
to its full value. The same afternoon it

GERMS IN HENS G G
Typhoid BacilH Found in Them by Noted
German Scientists.

Typhoid Bacili Found in Them by Noted
German Scientists.
The astonishing statement is now
seriously made that there are, under
certain conditions, typhoid bacilli in
hens eggs. Experiments have been
made recently in German laboratories
with n view to getting some definite
facts regarding this matter. 1t is found
that typhoid germs have no difficulty
in making their way through the por.
Gus shells of the eggs, and that the in-
PRODUCTION of such microbes may be ae-
complished naturally in several ways
according to the New York journal.
This most important experiment was
made by placing n hens egg in n per-
fcctly clean glass vessel. after washing
and brushing it with soap and water
and sterilizing it with n solution of
bichloride of mercury. Thus treated,
it was necessarily free from germs of
any kind. A fluid culture Of typhoid
bacilli was hen poured over the egg,
which was permitted to remain in it for
some hours. Then the egg was taken
out and broken and its contents were
examined. They were found to contain
the microbes of typhoid in nearly every
instance.
1t is not improbable that sometimes
microbes of various kinds make their
way from outside into the oviduct of the
hen. The shell of the egg is not put on
until within "a hours of the time when
the egg is laid. Thus, any germs in the
oviduct would have a good chance to get
into the substance of the egg through
the soft membranous covering.

POPULAR SCIENCE.
rEsLA's o~soILLAToR.
ne Proves the Ether Theory In a CONNIE
cIaily- Practical Manner.


ciaily- Practical tanner.
An electrician was asked the other
day by a Chicago Record reporter ii
he knew what electricity was. He re-
piled:
"Had this question been put to me a
few years ago ! would have said that no
man knew. But now we know that
electricity is n form of etheric vibration,
and that a current of electricity is a Sc
ries of ether waves. These electric vi
brations, as | should call them, flash
along a wire in 'whorls,' or rings, slid
ing along on the outside of the wire
or other conductor much as a rubber
band would slide along a lead pencil.
These vibrations communicate similar
vibrations to the surrounding and ever
present ether, just as the vibrations of
the human vocal chords or the wires of
a piano set the air in sympathetic vi
bration and produce sound. This view
was held by several scientists years ago,
but the last few years nave proved TO
the satisfaction of progressive cleo
t~ricians hat the vibratory theory is cor
rect. Probably no one man has done
more to show this than young Nikola
Tesla, the brilliant electrician. who has
shown successfully and practically by
means of his 'oscillator,' that kheric
vibrations will light up wireless cleo
trio lamps and transform dark, cold
masses into luminous bodies.
"This oscillator, which was hailed by
the electric world as one of the most inn
portaut inventions of the century, is a
dynamo-G generator of electricity
but, unlike the standard dynamo, it is
an engine and generator in one. 1t ia
~marvelously simple and wonderfully eff
ficient, and has permitted Tesla to OBJ
tain results that cannot be secured with
the ordinary conventional type of an
electrical machine.
"Thc ordinary dynamois a familiar OBJ
icct. 1t consists of two principal parts,
the armaturr and field magnets. The
electric current is generated by pass
ing a loop of wire through the magnetic
field, or lines Of force, of powerful mag
lets. If a small piece Of wire is passed
close 10 and in front of the poles of an
ordinary horseshoe magnet electricity
il generated in the wire. The current is
f@ale, perhaps, but il is there. If the
power of the magnet and the number of
wires are increased, the intensity of the
electric current is increased in proper
ton. If the wire is held still, and the
magnet is moved, electricity is the re-
suit. II a bar magnet is plunged into a
coil of wire, an electric current is pro-
duced, and if this magnet is moved in
and out of the coil the current alter
mates.
"TesIa's oscillator consists of n steam
chest, in which are two pistons so ar
ranged that the steam moves them
back and forth at n high rate of speed.
The piston rod passes clear through
both ends of the steam chest, and car
ries on each end coil of wire which is
an armature. These armatures move
back and forth between the field mag
nets, thus generating current by their
sections. An immense number of oscil-
lations a minute are secured. and conse-
