In many parts OF Philadelphia, par
hcularly in the exposed single and twin
houses of West Philadelphia and the
suburbs. double sashes are employed
to keep out the cold. A Swiss scientist
has just completed an elaborate series
of experiments to determine the rela-
tive loss of heat through glazed and
double. glazed windows. which should
be of interest to many householders.
He finds that there is decided ad-
vantage in the double sashes, the loss
OF heat being halved by their use. 1t
was further found that the distance
between the glass panes is an impor-
tant factor, separation of, roughly
speaking, three to five inches, being
the most efficient. AS was to have
been expected a current of air directed
against the outside pane increased the
rate of loss, as did also the wetting
Of the panes.

A new plan for securing pure Ice,
without resorting to the use of arti-
fetal methods has been devised by a
Milwaukee ice company. and will be
tried on large scale this winter. This
plan is to pump water from Lake Mich
igan into a pond made especially for
the purpose on the lake shore. and har-
vest the ice there after it has formed.
The company has bought farm of
ITO acres on the lake shore three miles
south of Port Washington. The bluff
there is ITO feet high, and on top of
this a pond of fifteen acres in extent
has been built. AS there is no sewage
system at Port Washington, the water
of the lake at that point should be en-
tirely free from contamination and
should give as nearly pure Ice as can
be had by this means.

III. Ebert has been experimenting for
some time trying to count the number
of ions Ia air during different atmos-
pneric conditions. He employs an as
pirator in which air is drawn between
the armatures of a charged cylindrical
condenser, the potential being such
that the ions are driven to the sides
within the time taken by any portion
of the air stream to pass through the
condenser. The results of his expert
ments show that the number of ions
is very much larger in sunny weather
than in air filled with moisture or
dust. The number is small in any
case.

At a recent meeting of the Academy
of Sciences, Paris, an account was
given of the researches carried on in
ancient Egypt on the mumified fishes
by NM. Lortet and Hugouneng. A
chemical analysis of the mummified
specimens of Lates niloticus showed
that the ash consisted largely of COM
mon salt and silicates. The fish are
in wonderful state of preservation
and appear TO have been enclosed in a
mixture of clay and sand impregnated
with a large proportion of alkaline
salts, especially sodium chloride.
