An Ancient Smelling Furnace.

Attention has before been called IN this page
to the identity of involved principles between
some Of the industrial devices Of unrivili2ed peo'
pies and those now in use, which ~ regard as
of high perfection An illustration in Ellis
History Of Madagascar published some sixty
years ago, represents a case in point Here we
have a crude duplex pump which is used by the
natives Of Madagascar in iron smelling The
contrivance consists Of two hollow trees, which
are planted firmly in the ground so as to make
their lower ends air tight Into each Of them
there is fitted sucker bound with palm leaf
fibre as packing, and from Just above their bases
their extends .v,amboo tube TO the furnace. This
is simply a hole in the ground, lined with
stones and plasered with clay, over which there
is placed a conc'shaped clay cover with hole
at the apex. In operating il the natives Ill the
furnace with successive layers Of ore and char
coal, and then with the aid OF rods or piStons
fastened 10 the suckers alternately raise and lower
them, thus forcing the air, bellows like, into
the furnace. Ellis makes no mention of valves
or pumps in the cylinders for the admission of
air, hut as there must ne some provision for its
ingrcSs il is possible that the suckers per-
forated for that purpose and provided with a aap
valve opening downward. Clls says the cylin'
dcrs vary in diameter from four 10 six inches;
that they are not always perpendicular, and
that sometimes only one is used, but that whon
this is the case il is of large size, and the ma
tive operates it with both hands

Greatest Nation for Patents.

The United States grants $500 patents per
annum, or nearly as many as all the rest OF
the world, England grants 5000 per annrm, and
France and Germany each about 1000 and such
countries as Canada, Australia, Austria, Italy
and Russia grant about 400 each. An interest
ing and hopeful fact is that more patents are
granted in proportion to the applications than
before in the history OF the patent n.
fee, showing that mechanical genius IL not cabs
ing as many rainbows formerly. American in-
ventve genius s shown in all lines OF inven-
tion, but it greatly predominates in machinery
for manufacturing. transports alton and labor NV
ing. Europe and the Orient have begun TO dnd
that without American industries they would be
unable to go ahead. Success.
Yet il is fact that while the German gov.
ment, for instance, actually and in court pro-
tects its pstentees against infnngements. the
United States government only gives the inventor
a certificate Of priority and he is obliged ia
protect himself in the courts against infringe
ment. This and the fact that often an American
patent is issued 10 another person on a TRIVIAL
structural alteration in the original patent may
account for the very large number al patent'
taken out in America

Some New and Strange Insect Phe-
nomena.

"All the world knows" says article in La
Nature, signed by V. Brandlcourt, seCretaire de
la Societe Lineinne du Nord de la France, that
after a capital punishment The body Of the de.
Capitaed is sent 10 the Academy of Medicine Of
Paris for experimentation regarding the persist.
cnce Of movement after the head had been scpa'
rated from the trunk and then continues:
An Italian Savant, NJ Canesirn has under.
taken similar researches upon insects He col
lccted large number and cut of their heads,
using for the purpose scissors and scalping knives.
Tie operation was very easy with certain in.
sccts but difficult with others.
He observed that at first the movements Of the
separated head and body were quite conspicuous
hut that the activity gradually decreased, this
varying. Of course. according to the insect being
experimental upon. When all movements had
ceased in the two dSunited parts he had recourse
10 artificial means, lie prcked pinched, pressed
and cnvcoped them in tobacco smoke. BY these
methods he was frequently able to determine
movements in parts that were TO all appearances
completely insensble.
Upon being decapitated all Of the insects did
not behave in the same manner. The beetles
rolled over on their backs almost Immediately;
the bugs, IN the contrary, remained their
feet and the crickets maintained this position
until Just after their death Some insects, quick
and restless, like the ants and bees, were nearly
immoyable, not resenting the sudden amputation
