A Remarkable Engineering Feat.

During the last few months what is
pronounced by experts the most re-
markable piece of electrical engineer
ing in the United States has been ac-
complished after three years of labor
and some six hundred thousand dol
lars expended in the enterprise; that
is, che Santa Ana river, which comes
out Of the San Bernardino mountains
has been bridled, and it's power is now
transmitted to Los Angeles, some
eighty two miles distant. In a word,
9,CUO-hOrse-p power is made to propel
machinery, move street cars and il
Illuminate and even heat buildings in
Los Angeles, besides furnishing il
Elimination and power for several viii
lGges-as Redlands, Riverside, Cotton
and Ontario-between the mountains,
and the engineers seem to agree that
the most remarkable feature in this de-
velOpment of the power on the Santa
Ana river is the transmission of cleo
tricity of a high voltage over eighty
miles of wire with so little loss of en-
ergy, the company finding, in fact, that
it can send electricity of $4,000 volts,
having a working efficiency of 1900
horsepower a distance of eighty-three
miles with a loss of but 10 per cent.
After doing its work in the production
of electrical energy, the mountain
stream is gathered into a como nit and
led down the mountain side to irrigate
the orchards and groves in San Ber-
nardinO valley.

A New Alloy.

A new alloy known as magnalium
has recently been invented by DR.. Lud-
wig Mach, German scientist, and
consists of combination of aluminium
and magnesium, resulting in a COM
pound which is lighter than aluminium
and can be worked like brass. The
TWO metals have properties that make
them we'll suited for such a union. and
IN making the alloy any change in the
proportions will give different char
acters to the compound. If ten per
cent of magnesium is used the alloy
Is like zinc; with Is per cent, it re-
sembles brass, and with % per cent
1t is similar to compound bronze. 1t
is claimed that it can be soldered, that
1t will resist dampness, and gives good
castings. 1t is as white as silver, and
sufficiently hard to cut aluminium;
While it can be worked in the lathe
with as great facility as brass. Mag
nahum is particularly suited for lens
mountings and instruments where
light weight is a desirable considera-
tion. When purchased by volume the
new alloy is less expensive than brass,
and has been spoken favorably of by
leading German instrument makers.

A German AIrsbin.

A great German airship is being con-
structed in a dockyard. 1t is being
built on floating raft, and at present
it resembles the skeleton of huge YES
sci. 1t was built of such delicate ma
terial as to suggest an enormous bird
cage. 1t is made entirely of aluminium,
and the outer skin will be stretched
on this framework. Inside a number
of large balloons will be placed. A
gallery and cars all made of alumni
mum will be placed underneath; en-
gines are provided to drive the air.
ship. The total lifting capacity of the
airship will be about ten tons, which is
sufficient for it to carry enough stores
and ballast to permit of its remaining
in the air for some days; $350,000 has
been expended upon this experiment.

.RombardInr an Observatory.

On July 10 last an eruption OF stones

great crater of Mount Etna, and the

near the base of the crowning cone oil

Stones were shot to a height of more
than a mile, and thirty holes were
made by these projectiles in the iron
dome of the observatory, which covers

Power of the Imagination.

A scientist in England is said to
have given a demonstration of the
power of the Imagination at a recent
lecture by playing a trick upon his au-
dience. Among his apparatus he placed
prominently a bottle, carefully stop
pered and protected by wicker bas-
ket, as If its contents were of power
full and perhaps dangerous nature.
After some experiments he said he
wished to try how quickly an odor
would spread through the room, and
requested those who felt it to hold up
their hands Immediately on doing So.
He then unstoppered the bottle re-
terred to, with great apparent cau-
tlC1, and poured some of it's contents
on piece of cotton wool, keeping his
face as far away from his hands while
doing so as he could, and remarking
that the odor might be pungent, but it
was really harmless. In Is seconds
most of those in the front row had
raised their hanGs, and in 40 seconds
the odor had spread t. the back of the
hall. About rs per cent of the audi
ence claimed they felt the smell. At
length the front sitters were getting
SICK and preparing to leave the room,
SO the lecturer thought it time to ex-
plain that the liquid poured from the
Dottle was pure distilled water, and
had no smell at all!

Helen sank gently down on the grass.

she. Il am much surprised" Her
tone indicated something more than
surprise. 1t confessed to a great relief.
She paid her visit to the asylum, and
she and Victor Law, her lunatic, went
back on the same train together. To
both of them the afternoon seemed the
most interesting in their lives.

she asked before they parted, when

quite certain that she should see him

tesque anti-climax not to have met

Senile Decay and Reiuvenescence.

In his opening address to the ZOO
logy section of the British association
Prof. Sedgwick said that since organ
lsms are liable to wear and tear
sooner or later some part or parts es-
sential to the maintenance of the vital
functions wear out and are not re-
neWed by the reparative processes
which are supposed to be continually
taking place in the organism. This
constitutes senile decay, and leads to
the death of the organism. There is
no reason to suppose that the repair
at1ve process of any organism not even
OF the lowest infusoria, is sufficiently
complete to prevent senile decay. With
regard to buds in plants, there is rea-
son to believe that they share in the
growing old of the parent. That is
to say, if we suppose the average life
OF the plant to be 100 years, bud
removed at 80 will be 80 years of age,
and only be able to live on the graft
for fifty more years. AS good exam
pies of the kind of cause of senile de-
cay, the professor mentioned the wear
ing out of the teeth which. in man.
mails, at any rate, are not replaced;
and the wearing out of the elastic tis-
sue of the arterial wall, which is prob
ably not replaced
