~REFLOATING A SHIP.
Ingenious Expedient Devised to Save
the Steamer FIavinn.


An ingenious eXpedient was devised
some years ago to refloat the steamer
Flavian, which struck on a ledge near
Cape Race. She was fixed in an awk-
ward position for tugs to work ut her,
and half her hull was submerged.
1t was in the late fall, and proper
salvage outfits could neither be obtain
ell from abroad in time nor used advan-
tageously, SO n series Of holes were cut
In her sides below the tween decks
and huge pitch pine logs passed
through these apertures. Meanwhile
two cofferdams sixty feet long by
twelve wide and as many deep had
been built at st. Johns and, being
carefully calked, We're towed to the
scene and allowed to sink by opening
n valve, being then placed beneath the
logs which passed through the ship and
protruded on each side.
The water in them was next pumped
out, and rs they rose they caught the
logs and fairly lifted the ship off the
rocks, she being lowed to st. Johns
with them upbearing her till perma
nent repairs could be made, which in
volved patching her bottom for hall
her length.-Technical World.

PROPERTIES OF GLYCERlN.
Decomposes II Heated Intensely and
CrystaIIizes II Frozen.

One of the great advantages Of glyc-
erin In its chemical employment Is the
fact that 1t neither freezes nor evap-
crates under any ordinary temperature.
No p%erceptible loss by evaporation has
been detected at Il temperature less
than 200 degrees f., but II heated In
tensely it decomposes with a smell
that few persons find themselves able
to endure. 1t burns with n pale flame,
similar to that from alcohol, IL heated
to about 300 degrees and then ignited.
Its nOnevaporative qualities make the
compound of much use as a vehicle for
holding pigments and %colors, as in
stamping and typewriter ribbons, car
bon papers and the like.
If the pure glycerin be exposed for a
long time to a freezing temperature 1t
Crystallizes with the appearance Of
sugar candy, but these crystals being
once melted 1t Is almost an impossi-
bility to get them again into the con-
gealed state. If Il little water be add
ed to the glycerin no crystallization
will take place, though under a suffi-
cient degree of cold the water will
separate and form crystals, amid which
the glycerin will remain in its natural
state of fluidity. If suddenly subject
ell to intense cold pure glycerin Will
form a gummy mass which cannot be
entirely hardened or crystalliZed. AL
together it is quite a peculiar sub.
stance.
