LUMINOUS SUGAR.
The GeneFat1On Of Light Occurs DuH-
ing the Process Of Crystal
1iZafiOA.

There are phenomena attending the
formation of crystals which are appar-
emily quite distinct from chemical &C.
::on. When, for example, a hot saturat-
ed solution Of arcenious acid is Al
lowed to cool, the act of capitalization
is accompanied by fash of light As
each crystal forms there is a short,
sharp glow, indicating the release of q
certain amount of latent energy in the
form of light radiation. A related
phenomenon would seem to be the case
when two pieces of cane sugar are
quickly rubbed together. The flash is
perfectly distinct and bluish-white in
color, the light extending into the sub
stance itself far below the surface.
Some interesting experiments On this
manifestation have recently been made
by Mr.. John Burke, NJ. A., the results
of which were Communicated to the
recent meeting of the British sssocia-
ton of Science at Bristol. By mounting
disks of loaf sugar On a lathe and
projecting hammer On the rotating
surface an almost continuous iuminos-
ity was obtained. The wearing away
Of the sugar is compensated for by ar
ranging gradual approach Of the
piece to the hammer in exact accord
ance with the amount of sugar scraped
away. In this way the spectrum has
been observed and photographed. From
these observations it would appear
that the luminosity cannot be due to the
impacts, the indication being that the
light produced is due either to some
change in the confguration of the crys-
tails of sugar Or to some sort of chem
ical action set up between the sugar
and the surrounding air at the freshly
formed surface. The fact, however,
that the surrounding medium does nor
seem to affect either the color or IL
tensity Of the luminosity suggests that
the effect is Eot due to any influence OF a
chemical nature of the surrounding
medium on the sugar, but favors the
former hypothesis that the Ium. Mostly
is due to some structural disturbance
in the sugar itself. This ingenious and
pretty study is being pursued further
and the result should lead to some in
teresting observations. Light is 50
often a manifestation of physical
change that it is probable some day we
shall derive it for Illuminating pur-
posses in totally different, much sim
pier, and less clumsy way than obtains
at present.-London Lancet.

NINETEEN MEN DROWNED.


Tacoma, Wash, Jan. l6.-The British
bark Andelina, 1896 tons, Of Nova
Scotia, Capt. q. w. Stating. sank in %
fathoms Of water in front of the ST.
Paul mill wharf some time Friday night
and the captain, mate and II Of the crew
were drowned. No one witnessed the
accident. Friday night terrific gale
ragged on the bay, the wind blowing SO
miles an hour. Two great boom logs
were placed beside the Andelina, one on
each side. During the gale, between
two and four o'clock Saturday morn
ing. one Of the logs went adrift, caus-
i-.g the ship to careen and then to cap
size with very little warning to the
crew. The vessel was entirely without
ballast and the matches were open. All
: on board were caught like rats in trap
and had no chance to escape. The ship
simply careened over, the water flowed
in the open matches and she sank.
AS all on board persisted, only sur
misses as to the cause of the disaster are
obtainable. Judging from Indications.
shipping men say the ballast log found
was from the port side of the vessel.
The ship, according to all accounts, was
headed in southerly direction, or
toward the head of the bay, at the time
the gale swept down the sound. The
heavy winds caused the ship to strain
on the chains, making the log on the
weather side taut and giving tend
ency to lift the log from the water, but
the strain was too great for one of the
chains and it snapped. This released
the towering aft from the greater re-
straint on the weather side and she
lifted with the wind, and, there being
little restraint from the other end OF
the log. raised it enough to allow the
right or mooring chain to slip off. The
ship, freed from ballast and floating
like chip, careened over under the
pressure Of the heavy gale, shipping
great quantities of water, filling COM
pletely the hold and forecastle, caused
her to capsize and sink to the bottom,
all in very few minutes.
Late Sunday afternoon the ill-fated
vessel was located. She lies on the bot
tom of the sound on her broadside un-
der % fathoms of water, close by the
spot where she had been anchored.
When the ship entered this port she
was manned by crew of nearly 30
men. Some deserted and others were
discharged, until only 10 were left. The
only list of victims obtainable is that
given by Percy B. Buck, an apprentice,
who was injured two days prior to the
disaster and taken to one of the Ia
coma hospitals. 1t is said the ship was
insured by an English agency for $780,
900. No bodies have as yet been re-
covered, although every effort is be-
ing made in that direction.
