The candleIh History.

The cult of theacandIe plays large
role in Roman. Jewish and Eastern
ecclesiastical history; and many are
the customs that have their birth in
some magical or sritualistic use to
which the candle has been put. In
some parts Of Ireland. for instance, 1t
was usual on Christmas eve to burn
large candle which no one was per-
mitted to snuff except those who bore
the name Of Mary.

Important Scientific discovery.

The use Of water holding fine sand
IN suspension is novel plan for sepa-
rating materials of different specific
gravity. A chemical solution Of dem
sity somewhat greater than that of the
lighter material has served in the
laboratory, but this has been CONNER
cialIy unsatisfactory on account of the
cost of the chemicals and the difficulty
Of removing them from the substances

containing sand held up in water by
agitation has been found to take the
place of the true solution of the same
