vaporizinu Iron.

Henri Moissan, the French chemist,
has recently continued his expert
ments in the distillation, with the
electric arc, of various metals and
metalloids. He concludes, rs the re-
suit of these researches, that there ex-
lists no known substance which cannot
be distilled In our laboratories. The
ebullition of iron Is very difficult to
produce, yet Moissan has distilled 400
grams Of iron in 20 minutes with an
electric current Of 1000 amperes at a
pressure of ITO volts. In all cases the
vapors of the metals condense in the
form Of a crystalline dust, possessing
all the chemical properties Of those
metals when reduced to the form of
powder. Moissan's experiments throw
light on the probable temperature Of
the sun, where iron and the other
chemical elements exist in the state Of
vapor. The maximum temperature Of
the electric arc Is about $500 degrees
Centigrade. But, owing to the greater
pressure produced by gravitation On
the sun, 1t is probable that the temper
ature OF ebullition OF the elements
there is higher than on the earth.

MANY REMEDIES FOR STAINS.
Comparatively Simple to Remove
Blemishes From Fabrics.


Stains from milk, cream, meat,
blood, sweet oil: Soak In cold water
for a few minutes, then rub on soap
and wash well In cold water.
Pitch. tar, wheel grease, machine
oil: Rub lard or butter into the
stain and let stand half an hour, then
scrape Off the pitch or tar. Wash In
cold water, rubbing plenty of soap on
the stain.
Grass stains: Soak in alcohol or
molasses.
Fruit, tea, coffee, cocoa, or choco-
late stains: Spread the stain over a
bowl and pour boiling water through
until the stain disappears.
Vaseline stains: Soak in alcohol or
kerosene.
Iodine stains: Wash with alcohol,
ether, or chloroform.
Scorch stains: Wet the stain with
soapsuds, then spread in the sun;
cover the wet stain with starch made
into a paste with soapsuds.
Ink stains: There are several pro-
cesses for removing these stains, but
owing to the various methods of max.
ing ink, a process that will BIO sue.
,cessful in removing one ink may have
no influence on another. Here are
some of the simple methods; Wash
the stain In several cold waters and
then with soap and water; wash in

Automatic Depression Recorder for
Control of Mine Ventilation.

Of air actually drawn into the mines
by means of the fans, as inferred from
the depression in the shafts, is OBJ
tanned, and the engineer can at all
times accurately ascertain whether or
not ventilation is efficient. The con-
struction of the instrument Is based
upon the hydrostatic principle, says
Scientific American.
The recorder comprises a cylinder
in which works a perfectly-balanced
float, of great sen~sitiveness, moving
In an inner receptacle. Instead of using
water, which occasions constant trou-
BILE through evaporation and con.
~densation, whereby the volume is con-
t~inuously varying, ~glycerine is en-
ployed, so that recharging and adjust
ment Of the apparatus are obviated.
The instrument Is attached directly to
the ventilating shaft by means of a
flexible tube connected with the device
Just below the cover plate. The de-
preston existing in the shaft acts
upon the surface of the glycerine con-
tanned in the vessel surrounding the
central chamber, thereby causing a
movement either upward or downward
Of the ~glycerine within the inner cyl
inder containing the float.
Attached to the float is a beam or
lever carrying the recording pen,
which inscribes the reading upon q
callbrated chart attached to the top
of the instrument. The rod which
connects the float with this register
Ing lever passes through a large oval
aperture In the cover plate of the
glycerine cylinders, so that 1t has abb
solutely free play, and friction is en-
tirely avoided.
When depression In the shaft acts
upon the %glycerine, the impulse thus
set lip Is Immediately transmitted to
the recording pen, which makes a
corresponding movement upon the
chart, the zero line of which is at
the top. The drum carrying the chart
is fitted with a five weeks clock
movement, and records ranging over
periods of twenty-four hours or eve
days as may be required can be OBJ
tanned.
A modification of the instrument has
been used as a draft gauge for boilers
and furnaces.

il RAFFlA PALM.
Valuable By.Produot Which Has Been
Found In the Leaves.

How doth the little busy bee i'm
prove each shining hour. When 1t
goes on its vacation the rafla palm Of
Madagascar can attend to its business.
In the leaves Of the raifia palm has
been discovered a cross between wax
and gum. 1t is a refuse product OBJ.
tanned from the leaves already cut
down for the preparation OF rafia
fiber. The wax is collected, first, by
beating the dry leaves on a dry mat
or cloth and gathering the spellicles
and white powder which fall from
them. Then, after boiling these pei
licles and powder. the a thus form.
ed Is kneaded into cakes Of any de-
sign. It is thought that this wax, al.
though yet an entirely new product.
will be more highly valued than the
beeswax, says the Chicago Tribune.
The average production Is anticipated
at about 100 grams for every kilogram
OF fiber. II the rafia wax proves to
have a value about equal to beeswax.
a yield OF wax equal to about three
ifths OF the value OF the rafia export
may be looked for, and, with little X.
ira labor. the gathering Of the leaves
can be reckoned as q negligible guam
tity Of toll, since the wax Is the refuse
from the rama fiber industry. II has
been suggested that the wax may be
utilized In the manufacture Of bottlins
wax, and in gramophone cylinders.
