Tho Tower Of Pisa.

The famous leaning tower Of Pisa
Is campanile or bell tower. The
building, which is cylindrical In
form, is 1877 feet high and 50 feet in
diameter, made entirely OF white
marble. 1t Is called the leaning tow
er from the fact that it inclines some
80 feet from the perpendicular, and
it is not generally known that this
inclination, which gives the tower
such remarkable appearance, was
not intentional. At the time it was
about half done the error In meas
urement was perceived. 1t was
guarded against by the use Of extra
braces in the further construction OF
the building and an adaptation OF
the stone in the highest portion.
There are seven bells on tho top OF
the tower, the largest Of which
weighs 1000 pounds, and these are
80 placed as to counteract as far as
possible the leaning of the tower it

Cold and Electricity.

That extreme cold paralyzes every
vital function is of course a piece OF
everyday knowledge. But it has
been left to Professor Pictet, who
has been conducting some expert
ments on this subject, to discover
that at a temperature Of $50 degrees
below the centigrade zero there lie no
chemical action between nitric or
sulphuric acid and potash, between
oxygen and potassium, though, un'
der ordinary circumstances, the at
f1nity Of the latter metal for oxygen
is 80 great that it will burn if thrown
into water, owing to its combination
with the oxygen In that fluid. But
if the electric spark Is played on bod
les which have thus lost the power
Of chemical affinity, some new and
curious combinations result. The
latest Investigations, the conclusions
Of which, however, have been theo-
retically presaged for some years
past, may require us toreconsider the
question of the temperature of outer
3pace and the possibility of an at
mosphere composed of gases in COM
bination existing there.
