NEW LAMP FOR MINERS.
1t II Provided With 4 Gas DetectinG
Attachment, Placed just Above
~ the Flame.

One Of tho most practical inventions
Of the last century was the miners
lamp, with its sheet of gauze sur
rounding the fame, enabling the miner
to work in coal mines where gas was
liable to be found without danger of
causing an explosion with his light.
Que objection to such q lamp is that
the gas might increase in volume in
the chamber SO gradually that the min
er would not be aware of it's presence,
continuing to work with the assurance
that there was no danger of an explo-
sion and not detecting anything wrong
in the atmosphere. AS an improve
ment over the lamp a Pennsylvania in
ventor has suspended above the fame
a series of wires, which become heated
and grow red in proportion to their
distance from the blaze, and also in
ratio to the quantity of gas mixed
with the atmosphere. The operation
of the device is apparent. The sensi-
tive wires are adjusted on the harp to
positions determined by experiment, in
which they represent percentages of
gas present by becoming redeemed with
the heat of the flame. The user of

Perfumes from Flowers.


A common method of extracting per-
fumes from flowers is enfleurage, which
consists in placing the blossoms in con-
tact with purified lard for few days.
When saturated with the perfume, the
lard itself may be used, or the essential
oil may be extracted under strong alco-
hol. The proces%being tedious, many
attempts mostly unsatisfactory-hav
been made to obtain the essential oil d.
rect from the flowers by means of light
petroleum. A curious recent discovery
is that perfume-making still goes on in
the flowers during enfleurage, and Dr..
Albert Hesse reports that ton of tube
zroea blossoms only yielded &c grams
OF oil by petroleum extraction, but gave
up 801 grams to the embedding fat in
enfieurage and yielded 70 grams more
when the faded blossoms were distilled.
The flowers appear to have contained
more perfume after exhaustion by en-
feurage than when first gathered.

is more to be admired than ever before,
since the 638 pieces into which it was
broken have been so ingeniously put
together. Student, artist and traveller.
when visiting the museum, are always
sure to enter the palace of the Crocet-
to, tarrying long in the center of the
gallery, where since 1866 until the time
of the great catastrophe which befell
it in 1900, and which it was feared was
irremediable, stood the celebrated
Francois vase. This rare old speci-
man of art has remarkable history.
Signor Alesandro Francis found the
vase in October, 1914. 1t was inside a
vault located within an apartment be-
longing to the grand duke of Dolciano,
at Fon te Rotella, near Chiusi, or, to
be strictly accurate, he found only two
thirds of the body of the vase, with
only one of the handles, in the first
place. A year later he came across
some other remarkable pieces among
which was the second handle.
Years afterwards another fragment
came to light, and was handed over as
gift to the museum in 1866 by Mar
quis Charles Strozzi, when the parts
previously found were put together
and so firmly fixed that the vase re-
NAMED undeteriorated until smashed
