Triboluminescence is a name lately
given to the emmission of light with
out heat that occurs on crushing GER
tain substances, like sugar. The phe-
nomenon has been found by Mrs. w.
J. Pope to be particularly striking in
saccharin under certain conditions,
the bluish-white flash when the crys-
tails are broken in any way being
noticeable in we'll lighted room but
no light appears when the saccharin
is pure, or when the crystals are pre-
pared in any way except by evapor-
ating solution in acetone. or after
the crystals have stood few weeks.
Other substances showing the strange
phosphorescence are hippuric acid
and certain derivatives of santonin.
The cause is still a mystery, but re-
cent study seems to indicate that the
light is due to some popularity of
crystalline structure.

Iron felt, the remarkable insulating
material now being made near Berlin
and rapidly coming into use IN
Europe, is described as consisting es-
sentially of long and strong woolen
tibers, which ore impregnated with a
by-product of petroleum, and also
with rubber, afterward vulcanized.
The felt is compressed into plates
measuring two square feet and up
ward, with a thickness of a third of an
inch to two inches. The plates are
very elastic, practically imperishable
and will sustain pressure of 10000
pounds per square inch, while their
surface is so bard as not to be cut by
bolthead or iron girders. Aside from
its insulating properties, the material
is valuable under rails and heavy ma
chinery to prevent vibration.

Wireless telegraphy is no new
thing. We have long had forms of
it, as M. Richat of Nancy stated the
other day, in optical telegraphy and
IN ordinary speech, the former de-
pending on signals flashed by waves
of light and the latter on sound vibra-
tions. The new telegraphy simply
uses vibrations of another sort-those
of electricity. The 9lectric waves are
oscillations set up by exciters, and
they radiate into space, traversing
walls, woods ETC.. but not metals.
Hertz caught the oscillations on
resonant receiver, which however, was
not very sensitive. The wireless tele-
graphy first attempted by Popoff the
Russian, in 1896 and by Marcoui, the
Italian, in 1896 has been made sue
cessful only through an apparatus
devised in 1890 by Prof. Branly, of
France, and consisting of a glass
tube containing metal filings, which
are placed in circuit with a battery
and a galvanometer. The battery
current but slightly affects the gal
vanometer, on account of the poor
conductfYity of the filings. When,
however, electric oscillations from
spark discharge-near or distant
reach the filings, the conductivity is
Instantly increased and the galvano-
meter needle is greatly DETECTED.
This tube, now generally known as
the "coherer,' was first called a
radio-conductor." The transmitter
of M. Ducretet, a French instrument
maker, consists of a dot and dash
manipulator, resembling Morse key;
an interrupter, breaking up the cur
rent into small currents; an induction
coil; and an oscillator of metallic
spheres between which the manipula-
tor causes sparks to appear. The re-
ceiver is coherer with tape record
er. With such apparatus, signals are
sent over the buildingssof Paris, from
the Eiffel tower to the Pantheon, q
miles, with all the precision of ordin-
ary telegraphy.

It is distributed all over the globe
its German form being the mild
swamp fever, while it appears in
much more severe type in Mediter-
ranean countries, and reaches it's
most violent and malignant form in
the blackwater fever of the tropics.
It's origin has been traced to para
site in the blood. The germ appears
as an easily reconized ring in the red
and enlarges splits into
fragments and within a few hours
produces more than twenty yonng
parasites, rapidly extending infection
throughout the blood Malaria is
not contagious, blood sucking insects
like mosquitoes seeming to be chiefly
responsible for its spread. The
stages Of the fever are found to cor
respond exactly with the develope-
ment Of the parasites, whose repro
duction is checked by quinine, and
treatment consists in removal from
infected localities and dosing with
ouinine. The study of malaria dis
ease opens up new field, in which
success is declared to be equivalent
to the peaceful conquest of the most
beautiful portions of the globe.
