AT a recent meeting Of the Academy of
Sciences Of France, held at Paris. NJ
Henri Moissan presented paper concern

a new carbon compound containing mo-
lybdenum. This compound Is obtained by
heating charcoal with melted molybde-
mum and aluminium in an electric furnace
The resultant metallic mass is treated
with a concentrated solution Of potash.
and needles OF well-def1ned crystals of
the new carbon compound are obtained.
The substance is very hard, Is hardly
attacked by acids other than nitric and
Is not decomposed by water or steam at a
temperature below 600 degrees c. 1t re-
sembles the carburet Of tungsten, already
known, which Is not considered surpris-
Ing, as the metals tungsten and molyb-
denum are much alike. 1t Is thought that
this new compound may play a role in
molybdenum steels.
The method Of preparation shows that

Marines Guard the Connecticut.

A dispatch from New York says: The
big battle ship Connecticut. which 10 to be
launched on September % at the Brooklyn
navy yard. has been placed under a strong
guard. Two squads of marines and four
watchmen were marched to the cradle
where the big battle ship is building and
were instructed to permit nobody to ap-
proach the hull of the vessel during the
night. The big battle ship Is also strung
with electric lights from PROV to stern.
The lights glow all over the ship. The ways
on which the ship rest are all oiled and
creased for the launching. and 1t was
feared should any of the blocks which
support her be disturbed. the big vessel
might glide into the water and be seriously
damaged.
The guards who protected her last night
were fully armed and were ordered to
shoot any person who. after being chal-
lenged. persisted in going toward the big
ship. Until the day of launching the Con-

EFFECT OF BLUE LIGHT.
An Anesthetic Which Promises to Rev.
olutionize Practice of Dentistrv

United States Consul Liefeld, Freiburg.
Germany, under date Of August 10, incloses
the following London newspaper clipping
on the effect OF blue light in subduing pain:
After three years OF patient research
Prof. Redard of Geneva, assisted by Prof.
Emery, has discovered a new anesthetic
which promises to revolutionize the prac-
tice Of dentistry.
Finding that the nervous system is in
fuenced by colored light. the professor ex-
perimented with each hue in turn, and soon
perceived that blue has an extraordinary
soothing effect on the nerves
Putting this discovery to practical use,
he now shuts up a patient in a dark room
and exposes bis eyes to a blue light OF six
teen candlepower for three minutes caus-
ing him to lose all sense Of pain, although
at the same time retaining his senses A
tooth may then be painlessly extracted
with none of the after effects on the sys-
tenn which sometimes follow ether or
chlorofOrm."
