by Wilhelm Plinwald, of Stuttgart,
is reported to produce excellent re-
suits. Over printing of wood color

mixture Of diluted size and chalk
are spread, layer about fifth of an
inch thick being thus formed. Each
coat is rubbed down. while wet, with
pumice stone, by which all pores are
closed. Upon this surface the design
is painted or stencilled in moderately
thick lines and with not too fat a
paint, after this is dry all the un-
covered pieces are treated with
brush or sponge and softened water
containing little potassium bichrom-
ate. The design in fat paint remains
raised while all the rest is washed
away more or less deeply. The potas-
SUM bichromste penetrates deeply,
after exposure to light soon makes
the mass impervious to water,

The newly patented storage battery
of Mr.. 81. H. Knepper is designed to
withstand shaking, as in electric
vehicles. The plates may be of the
usual kinds, but are completely en-
closed in an absorbent envelope of
wood pulp or similar material and in
the spaces between these envelopes
perforated filters or sheets of absor-
bent material are placed. Both the
envelopes and the filters absorb the
electrolyte and expand. holding the
active material from dropping to the
bottom of the cell. The. perforstions
of the filters form enclosed receptacles
and permit the use of a greater guam
tity of the electrolyte than could be
used if the filters we're solid.

From recent investigation on the
influence of pressure on milk, it ap-
pears that milk under a pressure of
ten tons could be shipped five or
ten days journey without fear of
spelling, but the cylinders capable of
carrying such a pressure would pro-
badly weigh more than the milk.
Great pressure applied for a short
time greatly delayed souring. After
a pressure of thirty tons for eight to
twelve hours, milk will usually keep
sweet three to five days; and after
pressure of forty tons at l26oF. for
an hour, meat kept in good condition
for three months.
