Gas and Electric Light.

Commenting on the report of the
gas and electric light commissioners
Of Massachusetts for the year ending
June 80, 1902-in which the deaths
caused by gas and electricity are CAV
en- as 70, and accidents that did not
terminate fatally from the use OF gas
as 1O6; the deaths from electricity be-
ing IA, and accidents rot fatal being
1.-THE Electrical Review says: 1t
is to be regretted that since no esti-
mate is given of the number of per-
sons using gas and electricity, these
figures cannot be compared, and there
tore they do not represent in any way
the relative dangers arising from the
use of either gas or electricity. 1t
should be noted that the greater num-
Der of deaths from electricity were
those of men working for the COM
'panies, or persons Intentionally touch
ing live circuits, while the deaths from
gas were due, in most cases, to care
lessness in shutting off the supply. 1t
would seem that gas is more danger
GUS to the consumer than electricity,
and that electricity is more dangerous
to the employees of the generating
company than to its patrons. Al
though there were 16 suicides from
gas, no case is reported OF attempted
suicide by electricity"

A Uniuue Variable Star.

Messrs. Mueller and Kempf have
discovered in the course of their pho
tometric work at Potsdam a variable
star of so short a period-about four
hours-that it may fairly be called
unique. Up to this time, the variables
that went through complete cycle
of changes in the shortest time were
two stars in the star cluster Omega
Centauri. These bodies complete their
periods in hours IL minutes and in Z
hours 43 minutes respectively. S
Antlioe has period of hours AZ min
uues. The Potsdam star has a period
about one-half as long. From mini
mum to maximum the light changes
at slower rate than from maximum
to minimum. The magnitude varies
from 6-10 to $40 and the length of
the period is hours 10 seconds. The
hypothesis that best explains the OBJ
served phenomena is that two bright
bodies are revolving at small dis
lance about their common center of
gravity, the plane of revolution being
nearly in the line of sight.

such extreme delicacy that it clearly
demonstrates the loss of weight of
musk by volatilization. Thus the in

extended horizontally. The micro

upon the glass thread near its free end,

observed with a microscope magni-

While all the great trunk lines OF

actual use, and the other showing its

horizontal beam of light which an
ordinary headlight throws down the

tube above the bulls eye, carrying a
portion of the rays of slight aloft in an
oblique direction, and making them
visible to the engineer or fireman OF
a train approaching from the opposite

the beam of light extends high enough

New Letter Copying Press.

For some years past the copying
press has played an important part in
all business systems where attention
is paid to accuracy and detail, some
times merely as matter of convent
ence in keeping records of correspon-
dence, but frequently serving the
more important work of verifying or
ders for goods or showing prices
quoted to customers. With the old
fashioned screw press it is no light
task to make copies of large num-
Der of letters or bills, considerable
time and strength being required to do
the work satisfactorily.
In the accompanying drawing is
shown an innovation in this line which
is designed to lessen the exertion and
time necessary to duplicate the steno-
grapher's work for future reference.

ing belt, which is immersed in a

the groans of dying fly.
The secret of making carbon paper
and typewriter ribbons is known to
scarcely two dozen people.
Wireless telegraphy gives worse re-
suits on land than at sea. A coherer
placed underground is not influenced
by electric waves, which proves that
the curvature of the earth constitutes
an absolute barrier to wireless teleg-
raphy.
Successful experiments have been
made in generating electricity to light
railway trains by placing fan on the
front end of the locomotive. The pres

Protection for Battleships.

One of the subjects over which there
was considerable controversy during
and after the close of the Spanish
American war was the inability of our
battleships to coal in the open sea,
owing to the roughness Of the water
and consequent liability of collision be-
tween the rocking boats. AS this diff
ficulty is more than likely to occur
again, and possibly with more serious
consequences than in the past, the In
ventors have already taken up the
task of surmounting the trouble. In

the manner of mounting the apparatus.
AS it is almost impossible to keep the
vessels apart with any rigid connec'
ton, it is the intention of this inventor
to use streams of water as fender,
creating curren, of sufficient
strength to hold the ships as far apart
as the connecting ropes will permit.
AS will be seen, the water is taken up
through the bottom of the hull and dis
charged at the side, the apparatus only
being used during the operation OF
coaling, while the propelling machin-
cry is at standstill thus requiring no
increase in the steam plant OF the
vessel.
