 British chemist has discovered that if one-half ounce of peroxide is added to each 20 ounces of water in an acetylene gas generator, the candle power of the lights will be increa ased 50 per cent. Peroxide is merely water which contains greater percentage of oxygen than water ordinarily con- tains. AS oxygen supports cOmbus- tion, though it will not burn alone, the brightness with which the acetylene gas burns is increased by the increas- ed volume of oxygen which is mixed with it.
 The American manufacture of cleo tric motors and of batteries, which has been tabulated in official statistics gives the clue.

The horsepower fell from 14.5 to an average of 6.5 in 1909. There were only g per cent. more electric vehicles in 1909 than in 1899.

 Among the many sorts of serviceable varnfsh which may be used to protect iron surfaces against atmospheric or other chemical influences, black var rish is most frequently used. This material is easily prepared by melting common asphalt in a kettle or boiler and, while stirring the mass, adding crude oil until sample taken of the mixture shows suitable varnish con- sistency after cooling. By heating the varuish it may be dried in the short est time without fearing to ruin it, as this black iron varnish resists high temperatures very effectively. It is as black as pitch and is also as elastic as may be desired for any purpose. This varnish may be applied to brass as well as iron surfaces. It is, however, sometimes desired to use varnish other than black, and in these eases especially where polished brass or zinc surfaces have to be dealt with, the so-called gold varniShes will be found Of advantage.
