Electricity TO Fioht eurolars.

The attention of the treasury depart
ment at Washington, says Electricity
has been called to the necessity for
some additional protection to public
vaults on account of recent burglaries.
The vaults which it is necessary to
construct in public buildings are prin-
cipally of a fireproof character, and
make no pretensions to burglar proof
qualities, so that it seems essential
to provide some electrical protection,
such as is usually installed by banks
and commercial houses. Secretary
Shaw has therefore submitted to con
gress a request for an appropriation
of 100000 for the installation of nee
essary electrical protection to vaults
in various public buildings.

Intelliosnee Of snaIls.

records a remarkable case of animal
sagacity. At the foot Of the Jura
mountains in the canton Of Vaud there
lives farmer who raises edible snails
(helix pomatia). He has as many as
$4,000 of them at one time in an inclOs-
ure surrounded by a wooden fence
about two feet high. To prevent the
escape of the mollusks the top Of the
fence is covered with board. the edge
of which is armed with sharp metallic
points. Lately the snails have discOy.
cred the means to surmount this bar
rier. A number of them climbed the
fence until they reached the top. then
forming a sort of ladder. those behind
passed over the shells of the others in
front, and so all but one got safely
over the top without being impaled
on the metal points. This simple
story proves" says NJ. Spiess. that
the vineyard snail is not without cum
ming; his behavior in this case gives
evidence OF a reasoning faculty such
as we have never before encountered
in his actions One must so very low

able is perhaps illustrated in the the.
ory advanced by NJ. Wing at the re-
cent annual meeting of the Swiss Aca-
deny of Natural Science that the color
of the atmosphere, usually called the
blue" sky, is due to such cause. This
czure tint has hitherto been ascribed
to the refraction of light on minute
particles of solid matter SUSPENDED
in the air. NJ. Wing has made a num-
ber Cf experiments with luminous rays
injected into numerous solutions con-
tanning suspended matter, and, though
he has easily obtained rec, violet and
yellow tints, he was only able to get
blue by the use of electricity, and then
he was able to obtain it in a perfectly
pure atmosphere. He, therefore, con-
cludes that the blue color is an essen
tial quality of the air and due to elec.
tricity.

gust on a glacier near Vent, in the
Tyrol. At a distance of about one
and quarter miles from the tip of the
glacier where its breadth is 2,130 feet
and the height of its surface above
sea level $3.50 feet, boring in the
middle reached rock at depth of 500
feet. Taken along with measurements
of rate of movement, surface melting
and temperature the experiment en-
abled the following conclusions to be
drawn: First-The temperature Of the
ice is at the melting point throughout
the whole mass on the tongue of the
glacier. Second-The bed of the gla-
cier is trough-shaped. Third-The ice
moves more slowly at the bottom than
at the surface. The bore holes were
filled up with pieces of wood, which
will serve for many years to come as
indexes of the rate of movement and
of surface melting.

The cause of nearly all the train
wrecks on the railway lines of the
country is the severing of all connec'
tion between the train crew and dis
patcher while the trains are in motion.
and while the automatic signal appar-
atus now in operation on some of the
roads has done much to insure the
safety of railway travel, there is no
doubt that the telephone recently pat
ented by Alva d. Jones of Louisville
Ky, would still further minimize the
loss caused by these accidents. This
inventor claims to have solved the diff
ficulty of maintaining contact
through the trolley device running on
the telephone wire which parallels the
railway line, and it will be interesting
to note his method of overcoming
what has hitherto been considered an
almost insurmountable obstacle to the
use of a locomotive telephone. While
the weight of the trolley is carried on

tact in the form of an absorbent pad

Uses Of Iron and Steel Stag.

The most important Of the uses of
Stag is the manufacture of structural
material, and especially hydraulic
cements. The production of the six
or eight slag-cement establishments in
1901 amounted tO 272, ,6S9 barrels; and
two plants are making Portland
cement from Stag and limestone. The
highly phosphate slags produced in
basic Bessemer converters are valu-
able fertilizers. Mineral wool is also
largely derived from Stag; though
about one-half of that sold is made
from natural rocks of different types.
In 1901 $500 tons of mineral wool
were made from Stag in the United
States. In the year about 5000 tons
of Stag were used in constructing
macadam highways in various states,
and these have proved entirely salts

PREVENTS SMALLPOX.

Alabastine will not cure smallpox
and other contagious diseases, once
they have fastened their deadly grip
upon their victims 1t will do much,
however, toward preventing their
spread.
1t is well recognized fact that GER
tain wall coatlngs do much to harbor
disease germs and propagate same;
that Of all coverings wall paper is
the most likely to hold the germs Of
disease for months and years.
There are well authenticated cases
where smallpox, scarlet fever and other
germs have lain dormant for years,
and have attacked persons afterward
when the paper was removed
Kalsomines stuck on the wall with
decaying glue are not much better
than wall paper with its vegetable
paste.
Alabastine Is recommended gener.
ally by sanitarians, as q coating for
walls in any style Of work, as it is
perfectly sanitary, is in the nature OF
a disinfectant, presents a perfectly
hard surface, is manufactured from
q cement base, and does not furnish q
lodgment ground for disease germs.
Years ago these matters received
but little attention, but modern scien
lists becoming appalled, at the spread
of the dread disease, smallpox, and
the difficulty in stamping it out, have
gone 10 investigating causes, and un
hesitatingly say that improper wal
coatings have very much to do with
this.
Alabastine is recommended to be
used on all infected walls, to destroy
germs and to get walls once more in
healthy condition.
