Electric Bath to Kill Disease Germs.
be seen, the idea is to immerse the
animal in a bath, thus subjecting what
ever parasitic growths may have found
Judgement to the action OF the liquid.
This of itself would destroy many of
the germs, but the inventor goes far
Their in his work and applies the cur
rent Of electricity to complete the
treatment by destroying any parasites
which have survived the bath. The
liquid preferably used is weak solu-
ton OF acetic acid, as this will add to
the conductivity of the bath, so that
a weak current or one of low voltage
may be sufficient to kill the germs
without injury to the animal.
In applying the treatment the ami
NAL is first driven into the bath in
which one pole of the battery is
placed. A metallic yoke or fork is
then placed over the neck, with a wire
leading from the end of the fork back
to the battery to receive the return
current, the animals head being
forced under the surface of the LIQUID
for an instant to allow the current to
act on all parts Of the skin.

POPULAR SCIENCE

has been sought by DR.. Strong of Hav-
eerford College, who reports as fol-
lows 1ridescent feathers from the
sides Of the neck Of the common
"homer" pigeon appear green when
the sum of the angels of incidence and
reflection is less than ninety degrees,
and purple when that sum is greater
than ninety, but less than 40. The
iridescence is produced by a peculiar
form Of barbules, which overlay each
other like shingles in roof. The
same barb may have iridescent and
non-iridescent barbules. The former
have much more pigment than the lat
ter, and the pigment is in the form of
spherical granules of melanin that fill
cavities inclosed by thin, transparent
7 layer of keratin. The spherical pig
ment granules lying next to the trans
parent horn layer produce a disper-
sion of incident light and the unaided
eye receives a mixture of great num-
bers OF the spectra thus formed.

New Method Of OBSERVING Stars.

ne" metnod OF Observing Stars.
A novel device to obtain steady i'm.
ages OF the sun and stars was adopt-
ed by Prof. Langley with the reflector
OF the Smithsonian Astrophysical OBJ
servatory, which he believes will be
equally efacacious' when used with re-
tractors. Generally the point aimed
at in previous attempts to obtain
good seeing" has been to abolish all
air currents In and about the telescope
tube, but Prof. Langley has found by
experiment that the definition is very
little improved when this course is
followed. After various Investigations
at different attitudes he tried an ex-
pertinent of a somewhat paradoxical
character, which was found to answer
very we'll. He drew a strong current
of air through the inner tube, and in
PRODUCED cross currents by several
inlets at various points in the length,
thereby thoroughly agitating and mix
ing the inclosed air. Taking some ar
tif1cial double stars for his objects,
for the purpose of Photographic ex-
periments, he found that doubles
which were blurred and inseparable
under the former condition were plain
ly visible and sharply separated when
the air was thus agitated. When the
sun was observed under the new condi-
tons it was found that the "boiling"

noying to the observer, was very near.
