Production Of Aroon.

The Paris chemist. Henri Moissan.
aided by another chemist, has found a
new method for producing argon. the
component part of the atmospheric air,
the discovery of which by Lord Ray.
leigh and Professor Ramsay some
years ago created quite sensation.
The gas argon is contained in very in
f1nitesimal quantities in the air, and
on account Of the difficulty Of obtain
ing It, it could never be thoroughly ex-
amined. Moissan obtains 1t from the
air by passing the same through red
hot tube filled with spirals of copper.
In this manner the oxygen Of the air
is taken up and the gas emanating
from the tube consists of nitrogen and
argon. The nitrogen is then taken up
for the most part by mixture Of mag
nesium and lime, and the remainder
by calcium heated to red heat. In
this manner 1t has been possible to
obtain a quart of argon in one day.
Thus way has been found to examine
it chemically.

A plsease of carnatlons,

A new disease has developed in car
nations which affects the leaves and
stems. In its earlier stages it re-
sembles the puncture disease, but the
small spots are usually surrounded by
Ia narrow, water-soaked ring, while
the center Of the spot is usually slight
ly brown. The spots increase in size
more rapidly in soft-leaved varieties
and soon collapse and dry. leaving a
brown, sunken area. Badly diseased
leaves soon wither. Miscroscopical ex-
animation shows that the spots in all
stages are filled with bacteria, which,
in the early and middle stages of the
diseases, are usually in pure cultures.
When the disease has not progressed
far 1t may be checked by thoroughly
cleaning the plants of all diseased
leaves and stems and burning what is
removed: then Swinging the plants
with solution of commercial formal.
dehyde, part to 500 parts of water.
This should be done in the forenoon,
30 that the plants may dry before
night. Syringe occasionally with water
under pressure to keep down the red
spider.

Oddities in Short Coats.

A good many little short coats of

When Trains Would Not Stop.

When Trains Would Not Stop.
M. F. De Mare suggests a system
OF operating railroads, particularly
suitable for those using electric pow
er. which will avoid the loss of time
due to stoppages to let of and take on
passengers. The train. which may be
drawn by any power. has attached to
the rear end q car equipped with
motors, enabling 1t to attain a speed
somewhat above that of the train.
Before approaching q station, the pas
sengers and baggage intended for that
point are transferred to the rear car.
The latter Is then detached from
the train and brought to q stop at the
station. the train proceeding at full
speed. Passengers who wish to take
the train to other points are placed on
a car similar to that detached from
the train. This stands on side track
and ON the approach Of the train gets
under way. As soon as the train has
passed. the station, the car proceeds
out upon the track at full speed,
catches the train and is coupled to it,
transfers its passengers to the train,
and receives those for the next stop.

A New Use for Cement,

Marbled slabs of colored cement, for
