SCIENCE BREVITIES.

What are known as tidal waves
have nothing to do with the tides, but
are supposed to be caused by earth
quakes. They do not, therefore, appear
at regular intervals.
If you pinch your finger the hurt and
the pain are not quite simultaneous,
and if your arm were long enough to
reach to the sun it would be 1872 years
before you would feel the pain.
The curious fact Is noted Ky M. Maui
rain, in the Journal de Physique; that
careful measurements of the intensity
of gravitation in different parts of the
globe show this to be greater on islands
thanon continents.
A Polish schoolmaster, Szcepanik by
name, claims to have invented an elec-
trical device which utilizes a beam of
light to explode bombshells. He is also
alleged to have perfected an instrument
by means of which objects at con-
siderable distance can be seen, tinted
with their natural colors.
The lighting of room, says the
Pharmaceutical Era, depends, to a large
extent upon the color and the material
of the walls; in other words, upon the
percentage of light reflected by them.
Recent experiments have shown the
proportion Of light reflected to be in
percentages as follows: Black velvet,
o.E; black cloth, 1.2; black paper, IS;
dark blue, 6.5; dark green, 1o.1; light
red, 1862; dark yellow, 20; blue, 80;

orange, 54.8; white, 10; mirror, 923.

AMERICAN STEEL WORK.
Shut 1t Out of Their Markets-
Hurting Their Trade,

Consul Monaghan, in a report to the
state department notes the progress of
a formidable movement among the Ger
man manufacturers to combine against
American iron and steel producers.
They have become much alarmed at the
development of American capacity to
compete with them in their own Ger
man markets. The movement is con-
Quoted very quietly to avoid disturb
ing public confidence and injuring
themselves but for that reason is the
more formidable.
, The consul also contributes an inter-
esting report on the workings Of the
new German law establishing new
railroad zone tariff. This went into
operation October 1, and comparison
of its workings with those of our inter-
state commerce, law, especially in the
long and short haul section, becomes of
value, for this German law is planned on
principle exactly the reverse of our
own; in other words the German law
establishes q reduced rate for the long
haul with the result Of developing man
ufactures II the country remote from
the larger cities where land and wages
