A ShOckprOof Suit,

Sir Humphry Davy put wire gauze
envelope around the miners lamp and
thus removed the greatest danger of
firedamp explosions. Professor Ar
temieff of the Kiev (Russia) university
has devised a suit of clothes, likewise
made of wire gauze, which will pro-
tect the wearer from electric shocks of
every kind. Wearing such a suit, he
received shock from condenser

sparks more than a yard long with his
hands without burning himself in the

Ingenious DueIing Sword.

members of the Societe d'Escrime a

the fencer touches his opponent the
blade of the sword enters the handle
a short distance and sets a marker in
motion, which registers any number
from to 3. The idea of the invention
is to prevent disputes between fencers
and enable them to judge of the value
of their coups. 1t should, moreover,
have a great popularity in the real
