= The dark film sometimes found on the rocks
Of rivers has been studied by Cairo chemist at
the Niles First Cataract. 1t is concluded that
the film, like that of desert rocks, arises from
material in the rocks themselves. and that the
depth of color, depends upon the amount OF
black oxide of manganese contained. although
silica tends to add to the darkening. The film
Is formed and preserved only in hot climates
having small rainfall.

Ordinary window glass passes nearly all OF the
heat coming from the sun, althoughit intercepts
dark heat, but the new glass of Richard Siz-
mondy, an Austrian. is claimed to prevent the
passage Of nine tenths Of the heat of the suns
rays. This glass would change dollhouse into
q cold house. The advantages seem to be nu-
merous, but not least should be the delightful
GOODNESS of summer cottages having windows of
thenew material.

the wildness Of the estimates Of tho
stumpage, and predictions as to the

last under the rapid onslaughts Of the
lumbermen, and an appeal Is made
for an accurate estimate BY experts In
the employ OF the Census Burea1. The
census Of 1880 estimated the timber
stumpage. at $50, 200, 100 N. feet. The
census Of 1890 placed the stnmpage at

West Virginia was carved out Of

that West Virginia should pay a part
Of the debt that was owed prior TO the
