SCIENTIFIC MISCELLANY

Some substances darken on being heated. while some lose color at low temperatures, and the hypothesls at the absolute zero of temperature has met with considerable favor. An in- vestigation of the effect of liquid air freezing has been made tn France oy Jules schmedlin. It appears that in solid state or fixed on textile fioers- like silk and wool. coloring matters change but slightly. but in alcoholic solution some of them--espeeially some of the rosanilines---are much altered Even in solution. however. other dyes such as mAthylene blue and mala- cbita green--are not altered in color by the cold of liquid air. The ordinary color and that due to fluoreseence are affected differently, and chlorhydrate of rosaniline shows a diminishing or it's red color and development of a fine yellowagreen fluorescenoe. while the red of eosine is lessened and the fluorescence remains constant.
