KO'li:S ON SCIENCE.
MAOHKBIA CRUCIBLES.
Connected with the Musonm of Artillery in
Taria s a vci j tine laboratory lor the trial ot the
various metals proposed to be nned by enns and
cannon. Tiiif. is piesided over by Captain Caron,
an exceedingly inpenious and capable man, who
is not coiitent with examining merely what in
sent to him by tbe Government, but is himself
constantly enttafied upon original researches Into
tbe properties ot the metals and the best method
for MiPtiiir them. We are indebted to him lor our
knowledge of several ot the rare metals, and lor
economical ways in which to prepare them.
Captain Caron has recently Demi investigating
the origin of the bubbles which form in cast
steel lust as it is setting, and creatly deteriorates
its value. IIo has propounded the theory that
the carbon of the -tcut and the silicate ot iron,
from the silica of the crucible, react upon each
other to produce the gaB w hich occasions the
bubbles. Tbe silicate ol iron in a state of luaiou,
by contact with the carbon of tlio steel, gives
rine to cnrbonic oxide pa. In order to prevent
this reaction It will be necessary to make line of
crucibles which contain no silica, and which
will endure a bieh heat. Kaint Clair Devillehas
employed crucibles ot magnesia for melting
dome of the metals, and it is thought that tbr-v
can bo made suitable for the fusion of steel.
Captain Caron advines all inciters and reiiners to
try bme or magnesia crucibles as a substitute
lor thoe containine silica. All the dilliculties
encountered in the preparation of the crucibles
are not yet overcome, but the cjuestion appears
to be approaching its tinal solution.
ETC111NCJ ON GLASS. ' "
To render glass opaque, th following method
ia employed in the establishment ot Baccara.
The object to be etched is to be immersed in the;
following ruaenn: -one thousand parts of water,
two hundred and fifty parts ot well-crystallized
fluohydrate ot tluoride of potassium and two
hundred and til tv parts of chloride ol ammo
nium, to which either some eulphate of atnmo
tia, oxalate of potass or chloride of zinc is to
be lidded. Tbe etched surface is soon covered
with insoluble opaque salts, and the transpa
rency ol the class destroyed.
This tluoride of potasBiura is the salt which
Dr. Gibbs proposes to employ in the preparation
of pure oxides ot some of tne metals, and Us
manutacture in larpe quantities would be of
great service in the arts.
(1TJIDH TO THE EXPOSITION.
llachctte & Co., of Paris, have published a
guide to the Universal Exposition of 1HC7. It is
compiled from ollicial documents, aod elves a
foretaste of what the commissioners propose to
accomi lih. It may serve to show how near the
realization comes to the grand schemes proposed
by the commissioners.
TUNNEL UNDER TUB ENGLISH CHANNEL.
English engineers have recently been in Paris
to obtain the authorization of the French Gov
ernment to have soundings and measurements
made on the French coast with rctcrcnce to the
construction of a tunnel from Calais to Dover.
The distance would be at lca6t thirty miles. It
appears to be an impossible encineering pro
"blcm, but the Mont Cenis tunnel is cited in sup
port of the feasibility of tbe scheme.
There are few undertakings the success of
which would be hailed with greater satisfaction
by the travelling public than this. No traveller
to the Continent can ever torget that wretched
English Channel and the miserable little tubs of
steamboats in which passengers are ferried
across.
ANALYSIS OF MINERAL WATERS. '
Dr. Gapmann, of Syracuse, has published
some investigations upon the subject of the due
allowance to bo made for the influence of mix
tures of salts in solution upon the composition
of mineral waters. In making up the results of
their analyses, chemists have hitherto been in
the habit of assigning the strongest acid to the
strongest base, without taking into consideration
the influence of mixtures upon the formation of
halt. Dr. Gcopmann has shown: 1. That car
bonate of magnesia, in the presence of sulphate
of lime and tree carbonic acid, will yield sul
phate of magnesia, carbonate- of lime, and some
basic carbonate ot magnesia. 2. That carbonate
cf magnesia, sulphate ot lime, free carbonic
acid, and chloride of sodium, form chloride of
magnesium, sulphate of soda, and carbonate of
lime. 3. That carbonate of magnesia ana
chloride -of calcium mutually decompose each
other. 4 That carbonate of lime and chloride
of magnesium are indifferent in their behavior
towards each otuor.
If the views ol Dr. Gcrpmann are correct, the
analyses of mineral waters will have to be sub
jected to a new arrangement founded upon the
Influence of sal s in determining chemical de
composition. This is a new and important con
tribution to the bterature of mineral waters.
Dr. Chandler has remarked, in a long and
very able paper on the same subject, that the
temperature of the water and the pressure of
steam must be taken into account as modifying
the reactions of the salts. The same subject
has also been ably treated by Mr. T. Sterry
Hunt.
A HOT SUMMER.
If we examine the tables of mean temperature
for a series of years, we shall find thai there is a
tolerably uniform rising and descending scale.
If the winter be cold the summer is apt to be
hot. Therefore, look out for warm weather the
coming summer, unless the meteorologists are
at fault in their calculations.
TO EXTINGUISH FIRES.
A largo fire from petroleum was extinguished
in some vaults in Nantes by a pailful of a solu
tion of sal ammoniac (chloride of ammonium).
Dilute aqua ammonia will serve as well. As
chloride of ammonium can be had at any time
In the lower pait of the city, it could often be
employed to great advantage, and ought not to
be forgotten.
ALLOYS OF MANGANESE.
Dr. Frleger, of Bonn, has prepared alloys of
mangauesc and iron and manganese atd copper.
An intimate mixture of black oide of muuea
ncse, powdered charcoal and iron tilings or turn
ings is made in a black lead crucible holding
thirty to fifty pounds. A covering is made of
chaicoal, flu or spar, and common salt, and the
contents of the crucible exposed for several
hours to a white heat. On breaking the crucible
the alloy of mangenese and iron will be found as
a perfectly homogeneous button. Two equiva
lents of manganese and one equivalent ot iron
pive an alloy containing bixty-six per cent, of
manganese; four of maugsnese and one of iron
gives about eiehty per cent, ot manganese.
Both alloys are harder than the hardest steel;
they are capable ot a high polish, fuse at a red
heat, do not oxidize in the air, and only par
tially in water; their color is between that of
steel and silver; they could be used for journal
boxes and bearings of machinery, and would be
useful in affording a method lor the introduc
tion of given quantities of manganese to iron
r steel castings.
The so-called crystallized iron now employed
In the manufacture of sales owes its peculiar
properties to the manganese contained in the
ruetal. In the preparation ot the iron use is
made of the Iraukltnite ore of New Jersey, In
fttead of the black oxide of manganese employed
by Dr. Prioger. The alloy of manganese and
copper is prepared in a similar manner, and is
very hard. The properties of this latter alloy
are not suflicieutly understood by our workers
in TitPtnlR. An r.hpi-A rn lui-cra H.nnifra nf hlnffk
oxide of niaueanese near Copper 1J arbor, Lake
Superior, in the vicinity of the native copper,
there is a tine opportunity for Invest'gatlou on
the part of the metallurgists of that region.
SILVERING ON GLASS.
Professor Bu ttiger has blrapliUed the methods
"Hitherto employed for this purpose. He prepares
two stock bottles as follows: First, a redacing
liquid: Dissolve one druchrn of nitrate of silver
in one ounce ot distilled water, and add this
uTBdiiiLllv to a boiling solution of Selgnette salts
(fortv-eiirht prain of the salt to forty-eight
OUnCCS 01 UlaH'i noici, m uii ivji u v 7 in
ten minutes; filter the liquid after it is cold.
Second a silvering solution: Ono dracham of
nitrate 'of 6ilver dissolved in one ounce distilled
,,f,.. a until tion of sal ammoniac added bv
hi thfi nrpcinitato toriued begins to
vanish then add twelve ounces of distilled
water, and alter. For the purpose of silvering
tnke equal volumes of the two standard solu
tions, and if the surface to be coated with the
metal be a panp of glass, a rim of wax, half an
inch In height, can be made on all sides of it,
and the mixed solutions poured on and loft in
quiet. If a hollow glan& vessel is lo be silvered,
it, can be tilled w ith tha liquid ten minutes is
often Biifllcicnt for the deposition of the thin film
ol Hlver if the Slavs is to be used as a mirror,
the metallic mrlace can be protected by a var
nish prepared by dissolving aspbaltum in ben
zine, i
Silver minors reflect nearly all of the rays of
light, srd literally enable us "to ice ourselves
as olbus pec nV whereas nearly hall of the
light 'b '.ost in the case ol the quicKsllvcrmirror,
and oltcn a jclltw or oistoited rrnacelis re
flected. It was at onetime proposed to' make
mirrors of silwr, and the arrangements! were
cowrictcd for thut purpose near Nuremberg.
The outbreak ot ihe civil war in America so
affected the trade, that the project was aban
doned, and it has not since been resumed.
Liebiir Is saiieimie m the belief that the time is
not tar distant when silver mirrors will sup
plant all others. '
THE 3NA.VY.
The Formation ot Two More Foreign
Squadrons.
The orders from the Navy Department to pre
pare lor service as a flagship tbe l'erisamln, a
line vetsel ot the fJartjord class, is probably
ihe first step towards the lormatton ot anew
foieign squadron to be known as the South
Paciiic Squadron. The cruising ground of this
squadron will prrbably be Iroiu Punaoia aloug
the west coast ol iioutu America, thence south
ward 8Ld westward, including New Zealand,
Australia, Tasmania, and the islands ot the
Pacific. . ....
Certainly this wi'l be one of the most intcrest
ii g cruising giouiids ol any in the world, and
one which hnbci to has been rarely vkitcd by
our vcsfcIs o!-v,ar except lor exploring pur
poses. The ports to be visited will be Panama,
Calluo, Valparaiso, Talcapamo, Sydney, Mel
bourne, lioDart Town, Auckland, Monguinui,
Otaheite, Kotomnh, and various other places, in
the Kings Wills (iioup, Marquesas, Hociety, and
Friendly Islands. This squadron will probably
consist oi seven vessels of second and third rates,
and will compare favorably with the squadrons
ol other naval pow. rs in those waters. In fact,
it will be larger than any oi them.
It is also reported 1 tltat a new squadron will
shortly be organizedto be known as the Indian
Ocean bquaoron. As yet, we have not been in
formed what vessels will compose it, but it will
probably consiBt ot about live vessels ot second
and third rates. This new cruising ground will
comprise the vast oceanic bain separated from
the Paciiic, on the east, by Australia and the
Asiatic Aichipelago;' bounded on tbe south by a
line drawn from the Cape of Good Hope to Bass
Strait, divided Jroni tbe Atlantic by Africa, on
the west, and inclosed by the countries of Asia,
on the north. The chief seaports are Calcutta
and Bombay, in India; Malacca, in the Asiatic
Archipelago; Aden, Mocha, and Muscat, in
Arabia; and Zanzibar and other lesser ports, in
Africa.
The presence ot a number of war vessels of
the United Stales in theo .waters will be of
much service to our merchants, as it will make
the passage among the islands and through the
straits much more safe than formerly, and break
up the piratical expeditions which have of late
been so frequent in that locality. The climate
in this quurter of the globe is debghttul, the
scenery oeautiful, and a two or three years'
cruise in these latitudes, in ono ot our fine war
vessels, will be an interesting event in the lives
ot our naval officers.
With these two new additions the strength ol
our foreign squadrons will bo as follows:

' A South Carolina) Romeo and Juliet.
Mr. Browne, the Columbia (S. C.) corres
pondent ol the Cincinnati Commercial, writes:
"It appears that true love has boen revived in this
State, Irora the following narrative, communicated
bv an acquaintance whom I knew in tho Army of
the Boutnwesi. "
Eany in the struggle, a younir lawyer entered
the liebol service in.iu this town, and obtained a
Captuin's commission, deterring an engagement of
nairiage with a young woman ot hiuta social posi
tion and broad aores of cotton (disassociated from
any in her toilette), until tho contest had termi
nated. 1 he loving twain agreed, it -one should dto
before the other, tho survivor should follow to tbe
tomb, and they ma do such promises as did the fair
"lmopene" to "Alonzo the Brava." At the battle
ot lve orks, in Virginia, tne captain was Killed;
and tbe sad news homn communicated to his mis
tress she made her will, and prepared lor death,
though carefully concealing her determination from
her relatives.
'A low weeks alter the fall or tne vounr cmoer.
the morning following the af ternoon of his funeral,
which she attended, pale and tearless as a statuo,
she waB lound dead in ner Dea. jtior parents saiu
she had expired ol congestion of the brain, but a
note left by their daughter intormod them oi her
intention to commit suicide, which she did with
hydrocyanic acid: and, as tho sentimental religious
rnaptodiKtx would nave us believe, joined ner love
in a realm of happiness, where the amaranth of
aflection lorevor blooms " , ... i

A Veto by Governor Ward ol New Jersey.
Governor Ward, of New Jersey, has returned
to the Secretary ot State, with his objections,
tbe bill to lease the Wet Basin property, at
Jersev (Jltv, to the suear house proDrietors. lie
explains his reasons for this course at some
length, lie stales that the Morris Canal Com
pany are in possession of the property, and that
the bill proposes to dispossess them without any
compensation, lor rxn immense outlay of money
for valuable improvements, which have added
to the wealth ol the State. He reveals the fact
that tho Morris tlanal Company, who have
hitherto occupied the property In question as
suorp owners, and without compensation, have
pven mm their Guarantee to tate a lease on
better terms oifcriiicr to nav S'itl.llOII tvir venr
