THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH. PHILADELPHIA, FRIDAY, APRIL 27, 186G. FOREIGN SCIENCE. man tbmferaturb. In ft paper addressed to the Parte Acadomy of Bcleuccs, M. rchlring; ascribes nn appelates of his contrivanre tor obtaining temperatures of extraordinary lutcnsit.y Irom llluniiimtiua a. The conditions necessary tor this purpose e states aa lollows: First. Combustion without excess of air or Kits totally effected within the space to bo heated: and ISeo nd. A ia Idivr ol supply of the combustcnt gas aufliclent to maintain the high tcmporaliiru, nut withstanding Ion ol heat irom thu sheaths or oilier causes. To sa faiy thoso two conditions, he mjoots air into a copi er tube thice or tour deciaictros in length. A liitle bemud tbe orifice ot tins tube two boles are pierced oppo-ito to each other j here the tube is auuoui.ded by a reeve led with the gas Which, drawn In by tne current of an, rushes into and mixes it h it. 'lhe suppiy of pa Is regulated by a stop sock, that ot W.e ar by a given pressure When this mixture ot air and gas is ignited, it pro duces a large blue flume, tbe caloriflo .power of winch does not appear to be moie intonso than that ot a common blow pipe ol eqjal dimensions; but if tbe flame penetrates into a rotraotorv envelope with out drawing in sny ex'enor air, tho flame bocomes shorter, and the combination is entirely effootod in a narrow ppaoo. Ao exp onion is 10 be ieared, but tho burnt gas must have a proper outlet from the luiDaoe. , SPONTANEOUS GENERATION " "While MM. Pouchct, Joly, and De Maiset are listing alter the conflict, or sharpening their weapons lor a new onset, M. Vtoior Motmirr continues tho war on his on account with M. Pasteur. A lew weeks atro the hitter gentleman reluctantly replied to AI. Meunier s aitaok, oblectine to the manner in which bis experi ments had been conducted. M. Aleunier now comes with a rejoin ler lotimle 1 upon a new series of experiments, the result of which will be best understood iroin his ''conclusions." . lie Bays: f irst. That M. Pasteur Is mistaken In sarin? that any ba loou provided with a bent neck must te barren, because 'ho sinuosities ot the nook prevent toe entrance ot a I atmospheric gerrus, tor St dleu nier shows that tho ba loou may eit ier 03 barrou or irnittul, accoidnifc to the putrescent substance intro duced into it, and thai w hetnor tue neck be strain ht or boLt the results will not var. It At. Pasteur pot 1)0 auimalcules in his experiments, it is simply be cause the substance be employed was not of a nature to give any feecoud. That M. Flourens some months ago said: "In order tj have auimalcules, what must be done it spontaneous goueration exists? Air and putrescent BUbstaDC s must, ue brought togethor. Now, Al Pasteur does so, and gets nothing trom it. Hence spontauoous eneratmn does not exist " To which absolute aigurcent Lf. Aleunier loplios that bis iart expennienu do not allow ot the que.-tion being put hi that way any longer; ior that it no thing is obtained wncn bile or mannito is put into a balloon wi a a bent nock, p. ants and aniiua'cules are produced it both be put in instead. Henoo the choice ot tbe subs'unce is an important condition, Which Al. Flouiens lins not taken into account. Ihird. That one of Al Pasteur's fundamental argu ments be.ng that siuco balloons filled with air in certain and at different places sometimes have animal cules and sometimes not, the atmoaphere sometimes does and others does not cont in germs; to which M. JUeunier replies that as bailoons with bent nocks present quite as different results as those with straight ones, while no germs can get into the former irom the air, it lollows that tho air has nothing to do with it. A NEW MOTOR. The London Sun speaks ot a recent trial of a new principle of motion, as applied to vessels, entitled, (he Hydraulic Propeller, Ruthveu's patent. Tbe Nautilus, to which the power has been applied, was built expressly to show that it can, with less, horse-power than ordinary river boats, equal them in speed. The Aautuus, at the trial, started from Vaux hall B-idsre Pier ut eleven o'clock in toe morn ing, and riu up and down the Thames In com pany with other river steamers, and held way with them steaaily, gaining a little on some. She ran between Vauxhail and Westminster Bridges, with the wind and tide, in 4 minutes 26 seconds, and against in 8 minutes 22 seconds, being at the rate of 135 and 72 miles per hour respectively, or at the average speed ot 1035 miles per "hour say 10k. She then steamed down the river, and when off the Tunnel Pier, with both stroue wind and tide in her favor, going at full speed, was made to stop suddenly by reversing the valves. Sie stopped dead in less than ten seconds, and in about a quarter of her length. The new propeller is nothing more nor less thau water taken in under her bottom, and sit in motion by simple machinery worked by a steam engine. The water is dis charged in a heavy 6tream on both sides of the vessel; consequently, there i9 nothing outside the vessel to De luiuren oy any accident. Another important novelty is that the vessel is quite independent ot h r rudder, and is worked under the complete control of the master, oflicer of the watch, or man on deck, 'without any communication with the engine. PHOTOGRAPHY. The following are new methods Introduced in Fiance. The salts ot uranium now attract par ticular attention, and the following process is recommended by AI. Leroy Gates: Dissolve 333 ct-ntigr. ot nitrate of uranium in 156 cubic centimetres of water; to this solution add a saturated solution of bicarbonate of soda, stirring constantly, until the liquid has become quite alkaline. A yellow precipitate is soon formed, which is separated by filtration, after which so much distilled water is added to the Mquid as will bring it to 180 cubic centimetres. This the author calls solution No. 1. Solution No. 2 consists ot 87 centigr. of chloride of gold di66olved in 186 cubic centimetres of water. For toning, mix 31 cubic centimetres ot each in one litre of li.kewaim water, whereby a sort of alloy of gold, and uranium is deposited on the photograpn. Mr. Watson Simpson's opalolype process has been modified as lollows by Air. Seely. It is a dry collodion process, producing very rapid and satisfactory results. The collodion should be prepared as follows: Etner, 2ia cubi j cen timetre?; alcohol, 155 do.; gun-cotton, from 6 to 9 er.; chloride of strontium, from 2 to 3 er. This collodion should be left to stand till per fectly clear, and then aecauled. The silver bath Is prepared with 0'388 gr. of alcohol, Ki'82 do. ot uitrate of silver, and about 2 gr. citric acid. Ut this pour drop by diop one part and a half into six and a halt' of the former, stirring continually. The collodion thus obtained will keep a long tune u the dark; it is spread out as usual in a dark chamber, left to dry, and then employed when required. Nitrate of silver, which Is extensively used in phoiojiraph.v, is by no means sold in the shops in a pure ttate, aud photographers who wish to produce superior copies should there lore purify it. The following is Mr. Max we' 1 Lyte's process for the purpose: The trade arti cle is tirbt partially purified by crystallization; It is then redisfcolvcd to saturation in boiling water, and one per cent, of nitric acidis added. The liquid is constantly stirred while cooling. A cnstfilline powder is gradually deposited. which is collected on a filter aud washed with water acidulated wilh ten per cent, of nliric acid. The suit thus obtained is chemically pare, MISCELLANEOUS. At a recent sitting of the Paris Academy ot Bciduces, information was communicated in re gard to the volcanio phenomena f the lslanJ of Bautoraio. According to the accounts received Irom this source, the convulsion Is on the in crease, aud several small Islands have made their uppeaiance around Nea Kammonl. King George's, promontorv is lu full eruption, lu flames being visille from the sea at a ditauce ol fifty miles. A vessel haviusr goue too near, a certain quantity of v lcanic matter iell on her deck, killing or inluilng tcveral of the crew. Mepliitc emanations, which spread all over the neigh borhooa, are becoming thick enougu to be dangerous. Al. Ch. Devllle continued these par ticulars irom hi- private ii'iormation; both Mounts Etna and Ve-uvms are leelln? the lnllu eiice of the etuition ct Santorluo. The large ciater of Alouut Vesuvius Is. getting rapidly tilled up: its deptn, whicii ai abou'. one hundred aud nity tjietn.es. bcina now reduced io forty. A puner was received from M. Nickles on the dissolution ol gotd, showing that the number ol substances capable of dissolving gold is much pieater t'-un has generally been Relieved, aud coincides all o herized perchlorioes, porbro- mlde-. and perodldes; also tho unstuble sesqui- chlorides Bt'squi-broiuide?. and SL'squi-io tides, ajid iodine lu a nascent state. AT. Ovale, Jr., exhibited hln new photoi of the Alps, and a large album ti led with his fanoramic views rliciied a very flattering men ion Irom M. Ehe de P-eaumont. Ihc Academy has appointed a commission for ccnierring the gTand prize of mathematics in 1806; the members appointed were AIM. DclaU" cav, Liouville, Alnthieii, Pare, and Laugler. M. Coulvier-tiraviet sent In a paper in support of Lis KtTfuige and highly problematical thesis, viz. :- That shooting, stars are the cause of tho various meteorological phenomena, the recur rence of which has hitherto bullied the acumen ot all scientific men. In this paper he finds that the resultant of the falling stars moves east ward in dry weather, and towards the southwest in the rainy seat-on. This rule feeras to have been confirmed In 1805. In that year the ave rage temperature was twelve aud' one-halt de grees Cent., and in lsG4 two degroes less. This again, be says, confirms his theory, since in 1864 the resultant of the falling stars was east-som b eest, and In 1805 it was southeast; so that 1865 was to be warmer and a little more stormy or lainy than 1KC4 ; which, he says, has actually occurred. Even admitt ng thls'to be a tact, we tail to pee bow he arrives at his conclusion. If in 1804 the resultant was more to tbe east than In 1M5, 1 is theory lead to quite a contrary con clusion; for 1804 oueht to have been dryer, aud consequently waimer than 18ti6 a year, by tue way, characterized by a disastrous drought in autumn. American Riflembn's Leaoub. The various rifle clubs and associations of the United Statos have termed a general organization, with the purpose of stimulatine a friendly intercourse among members of ritlo practising societies, in cultivating the art of rifle shooting, aud in dif fusing a knowledge of tho use ot firearms gene rally among the nation, similar to the organiza tions of Germany and Switzerland at the annual tatheriugs of which tens of thousands of the beet marksmen ot the world congregate tor the puipo.'e designated. The second annual convo ca.ion ol the League of the United States will be held at Chicago this year, commencing on the 13th of June, and continuing for five days. Pre parations upon the most extensive scalo, and at an enormous outlny, are ia contemplation to nccommodato the riflemen irom all parts ot the Union. Forged Railway Tickets in England. A curious system of Iraud nas been practiced upon the Great Northern Railway Company in Eng land. A large number of forged tickets between London and Ilolbeck having recently been pawed by travellers, efforts were made to detect the guilty parties, aud a man was apprehended with one in his possession. Likctnouof the tickets which had previously been tampered with, it had oricinally borne the words "London to Hornsev." but these had been ineeniouslv altered into "London to Ilolbeck,'' and the ticket had been used lor tbe longer journey. In the lodrinirs of the man were found paints. brushes, and oher matenals employed in tho conversion of the tickets, as well as a ticket which had been partially altered. A Justifiable Doubt. When the brave Cor poral Caithness was asked, after the battle of Waterloo, it he was not afraid, he replied, "Afraid 1 why I was in a' the battles of the Pe ninsulal" And havinir it explained that the quest. on related to a fear of losing the day: "Ma, na ; I didna fear that. I was only afraid that we should be a' killed before we had time to win it." INSURANCE COMPANIES. Q IRAUD FIRE INSURANCE AND MARINE COMPANY.
