An ingenious apparatus for drawing
the profile of river bottom is used hv
Italian engineers. 1t consists of wbAal
affixed to the bottom of a graduatai
| rod, which is fastened vertically at th
side of a boat in such a manner thst
as the boat advances up or down m
across stream, the wheel at the end o
the rod runs continually upon the bot.
| tom, the rod rising and falling with
at chosen intervals Of time the ee
ments are obtained for tracing an ac
curate representation of all the sinuos
ties Of the bottom of the river, and the
! variations of depth. In the saving Of
time this simple apparatus possesses an
enormous advantage over the Ordinary
method of soundings.
Germany has for some time possessed
a dozen factories for the liquefactiOn
) Of carbonic acid gas issuing from the
earth in the neighborh0od of extinct
| volcanoes. Last summer large fac
tory Of the same kind was opened near
the Puy de Dome, q famous extinct VOL
cano in central France. The liquid Oh
tanned by the condensation of these VOL
canic gases is said to be purer than
that produced by solely chemical proc
esses. From an excavation at Aigue
perse, near the Puy de Dome, the Quan.
tity of gas given forth every day is
reckoned at about half a million liteE
The place is known as the poison foun.

Guiding those of a horse, bison and q
mammoth.
According to Cosmos, the employment
Of circular disks of iron, turning with
great velocity, but possessing no TEEN
on the edge, for saving metal, has De-
come common in many WORKSHOPS
Among other places where such saws
without teeth are used is the celebrated
Krupp gun works, where armor paR
is sometimes cut in this manner Line
process is not a newly discovered one
AS long ago as 1924 Barrier and Colla'

swiftly rotating disks of iron Ines
found that when a disk about seven
inches in diameter turned with per
ipheral velocity Of ten meters per @',
ond, it could be cut with a steel 'Oo'
pressed against it, but that when '7
velocity was increased to tWenty-On'
meters per second the iron was ulal
fected, but the steel tool was danlaS7I
