EIotation of Minerals.

Every one has tried the experiment
of floating needle on water and then
watching the needle sink when It be-
comes wet. The reason the needle floats
is because film of air surrounds the
needle. and, air being very light, the
combined weight OF the air and needle
Is not enough to sink the needle. As
soon as this air film is displaced by
water or, in other words. the needle be-
comes wet 1t sinks.
Writing in Metallurgical and Chemi-
cal Engineering, Professor Wilder d.
Bancroft shows how mixtures of oil
and water, with other agents. agitated
with air cen be made to float valuable
minerals. while the valueless portion
sinks. This process. called "flotation,"
has made great Roadway i'm recent
years, and the savings effected by II
each year are enormous. The same
principles apply IN our bronzing liquids.

Australian Fire Reetlea.

The remarkable power Of withstand
ing heat possessed by certain lizards,
which gave rise to the legend Of the
salamander-a creature said actually
to live In fire-is not confined to the
reptile family. Professor Thomson has
recently given particulars Of race Of
Australian beetles which seem. to a
large extent, to be fireproof.
1T Is said," he writes, that when a
bush fire is raging certain Buprestid
beetles are attracted from a distance,
perhaps by the scent, and fly straight
into the fire, alighting and running
about on the hot, steaming branches
and sometimes even over the parts
that are glowing red, yet without in

OF the most agile species known to me
and as alert and active as an eagle
