NOTES ON SCIENCE.
k XT HTMUtJLIO CEMENT.
Seven yearn ago St. Clair Deville exposed a
piece of caustic magnesia to the laflueuce of a
stream of running water, and alter the lapse of
few months it became, transparent like ala
baster, and so hard as to scratch marble; ex
amined again recently, it was found to be in no
way deteriorated. An analysis (bowel it to be
nearly pure hydrate ot rmgnejla, similar to the
mineral bonolte. DeviUe then stirred np pure
raustiu msffnesia Into a dough, with water, and
sealed 11 in a gists tube. In a few weeks this
also became transparent, and proved npoa
analysis U be a pure hydrate, containing C9'3
per cent, magnesia and 30-7 per cent, wafer.
Deville further discovered that a mixture of
magnesia and gypsum did not harden under
watt r, but that magnesia and pulverized chalk
or marble, when exposed for some time to the
action of water, form a very hard stone, simi
lar to artificial marble. The magne.-la which
yielded the hardest mass was that prepared by
heating the chloride of magnesia obtained from
the bittern of salt water, the heat must not be
rained to redness, as the hydraulic pioperties ot
the magnesia aro diminished by too high a tem
perature. An Important result was obtained
irom dolomite, a double carbonate of lime and
magnesia, which, heated to below redness, pin-
verizod and mixed with water, yields under
water a mass of extraordinary haidness.
If dolomite be heated to whiteness, so as to
expel all the carbonic acid it will no locger set
under water. The lime ot the mineral must
retain its carbonic acid while the heat U raised
sufliciently to expel the carbonic acid from the;
magnesia. The result is an intimate mixture of
caustic magneMa and carbooa'e of lime (mar
ble), which yields a cement that hardens equally
well under fresh and salt water, and appear te
be admirably adapted for the manufacture of
artificial buildme-slones. Extensive experi
ments are now being carried on with it in
France, the results of which we shall present to
our readers.
VANADIUM.
Vanadium ha been found in large quantities
in the iron made from the colltic ores ol West
bury, Wiltshire. In order to obtain the metal
the iron is nearly dissolved in dilute hydro
chloric acid; concentrated hydrochloric acid is
then added, the solution Is boiled, filtered, the
residue treated on the filter with ca istic potash,
then with hydrochloric adid, dried and heated
in a muffle furnace. The hall-fused mass can
be used in the preparation ot vaoadic acid.
Tbis rare metal can now be obtaiued in iarge
quantities.
THALLIUM.
Thallium occurs, accordinc to Hunsn. iu the
zinc vitriol lye of Juliushutte, Hart. Mountains,
to the amount of 0'0" per cent., and can, there
fore, be easily prepared by the pound. Very
frequently, in the manufacture ol sulphate of
zinc, and in the residues from galvanic bat
teries, thallium is also contained. It can be ex
tracted as follows: Copper, cadmium, and thal
lium are thrown down by means of zinc-toil,
washed in a bag, and then digested in water
containing a little sulphuric acid. The solution
from this contains camdium and thallium. The
latter can be separated as iomd2 ol thallium by
niean ot the iodide of potassium.
Scott has found in the sand ol Alum Bay, Isle
of Wieht, large quantities of thallium. The
metal has also been found in the buarar-beet,
prape juice, chickory root, in tobacco and kelp.
LITHIUM.
A mineral spring has beon discovered in Red
ruth, Cornwall, very rich in lithia. According
W. A. Miller this spring jields evt ry twenty-tour
hours eight hundred pounds ol chloride ol
lithium, and one gallon of the water coutains
2O"0G ol the chloriae.
TELLURIUM.
Thia exceedingly rare metal has been found to
the extent of five per cent, in the oisinuth oie of
Mount Illampu, Bolivia, fifteen thousaud leet
Above the level of the tea. As this ore is ex
tensively worked there is a piospect ol a larger
supply of tellurium than has hitherto boeu
known.
BENZOIC ACID.
Tim acid a few years ago had rimply a scien
ti tie interest, and was occasionally applied in
medicine. Tne higti price of the acid prepare!
Iioui gum benzoin prevonted its application in
the arts. Recently its preparation iroui hipjiu
ric acid has opened a way lor its extcuuive
manufacture. It is now manufactured near
Nuremberg, and employed in the tieutiuent of
tobacco, as a mordant in calico printing, and
especially iu the production of analiue colors.
Benzoic acid is also procured on a large scale
trom naphthaline, a lntherto worthies! product
of the cas manufacture, liy these two methods
the acid can be obtained in any quantity, and
further applications and uses 01 it will no doubt
be discovered.
A PELF-BKOULATIKO AND ALARM THERMOMETER.
In order to control the temperature of hot
house?, Morin has constructed a thermometer
us follows: A platinum wirelis fused into the
bulb, and a second wire is inserted nt the lo west
iiepree hicn cun be tolerated iu the building,
lioth wires are connected with a galvanic bat
tery. As long as the mercury stands at the
pioper neignt, tnus inaicaiing suiucieni neai,
the current is closed, and a magneto-electrical
apparatus, in the dwelling ot the keeper, is
kept in motion; but it the building becomes
cold the mercury sinks, the current is broken,
nd the magnetic apparatus ceases to move.
Dr. Kohlrausch has modified thlf apparatus so
us to be self-regulating. By a similar contri
vance he opens and shuts the ventilators accord
ing to the temperature the whole bysiein being
driven by an electro-magnet.
A WASH FOR HARDENING PLASTER CA8T3.
i Knaur and Knop, of Leipsic, have published,
J J alter long years ol experiment, a metho.t tor the
I j hardening of plaster casts so that they can be
I I n ashed and better preserved. The process con-
j nuts in the application ot a mixture 01 soiuoie
j glass v. itb, an albuminous substance, which lat-
ter torus a cement with lime uud hardens when
I mixed with a soluble glass.
I i Tne stock hot iles are prepared as follows:
No. 1. Sjropy Bolubie gloss. No. 2. A solution
of one part ol caustic potash in live purts ot
water, which n ust bo kept closely stoppered.
Ko. 3. Sour milk, which is obtained by setting
1 pan of milk to sour and removing the curd.
Mo. 4. A cleat solution ol lime water.
To apply the wash, shane up the milk and
pour out as much as may be desired into a suit
able vessel. Add the potash oy drops from No.
2 until the casein precipitated remains dissolved
tnd the liauid is fimplv cloudy, but not colored.
i Add to this one-iourifi its voJun.e of soluble
i glass. The mixture must be prepared when
4 1 wanted, as it will not keep. It can be applied
1 with a clean paint-brush, and several coats can
m oiveti. it' renuired. alter the first is entirely
dry. Black spots on the casts, produced by the
kitouol the plaster, generally disappear when
the whole is dry. it tne aoove mixture is not
well aoplied, or if it does not harden, It can bo
washed off with a sponge by using the lime
water from No. 4, and the operation Cun be
repeated.
ah uttemnts to harden the casts throughout
ihe entire mass, by the addition ot some sub
stance to the water iu wnicn tne piaster was
oriental! stirred, proved unsuccessful.
TISCIlENPORF'S DISCOVERT OP THB 81NAITIC MANU
SCRIPT OF THE BIBLE.
A correspondent of .the Boston Transcript
'"ihe most celebrated scholar in Europe is, I
m.ww.sfi. Denersllv conceded to De Professor
Tischendorf, ol Leipsic. I have had occasion to
-it inm to ancprtain some facts connected
with bis discovery of the Sinallic manuscript ol
the Bible, and may De aoie tu atomy m vu..
lth reference to his per
sonal appearance. In the first place, because
the thing which struck me the most lorcioiv,
this man. who has for many years been regarded
its tbe greatest living Greek scholar and ludge ot
man.rrinia la nnt An old man. indeed.
T. hrr irv above forty-five, ilia whole
manner Is fresh and vigorous, his tones earnest,
and he IB as approucnuuic bb iuo iuii"
f." i' L a,f !. he talked about as the 'eminent
Tischendort,' that he accepts his position a a
n;a( ter ol course, and so has uot a trace of tht
vanity which, in a man struggling to seem
great, is so obnoxious. Ho is large and solidly
built, and has the appearance of being in
fierfect Lenltb. Never did 1 see a roan having
ess the appearance of being a dyspeptic book
worm. - '
"Tischendorf, after giving me the particulars
which 1 wanted, related to me, in a very pleasant,
ofi-hand, racy way, the story of his recovery of
the famous Slnaitlo manuscript of the Bible,
which Is about fifteen hundred years old. He
saw some fragments of It at the time of his
first visit to tbe Convent at Mount Sinai, in 1844.
On his recent xisit, when he went simply sup
plied by the Saxon Government with means tor
purchasing it, he could not find a trace of It;
and when, on tbe occasion ot his third visit,
about seven years ago, he went out as tbe cleri
cal agent ot the Russian Emperor, he was for a
longtime equally unsuccessful. At last, when
he was about to abandon the search, tbe pre
cious relic was discovered In a corner of the
cellar, and was committed to his hands to be
taken to Kussia. The secret charm exerted in
this ease was due not so much to the influence
of Russian gold as to the fact that the established
church ot that empire is of the Greek faith, the
same as that ot the Binaitlc Convent.
'Tischendorf told me that he was hardly able
to comninnd himself when he made this dis
covery. He went instantly to his room, but
that night he could neitner lie down nor sleep,
and so, lo work off his excitement, be spent tbe
night In transcnotng tne wnie ol one of the
Epistles. His reception on his return was such
a one as princes show to princes. The occasion
was one of great solemnity and magnificence at
St. Petersburg, tor It was recognized not only
there, but all over the civilized world, that the
discovery of this manuscript Is the most im
port ant event ol the age, looked at in connection
with the authenticity ol the New Testament and
the whole Biblical record. The oridnal was
photographed with the utmost care, and copies
were sent to the leading libraries ot the world.
I know not how many are In the United States,
but to n y ceitain knowledge there is one in
Now York."
MISCELLANEOUS ITEMS.
Surveys are being made and the means pro'
vided lor the building ot a raUroad Irom Winona
to La Crosse, to be finished next year. The
Central and V inona and St. Petersburg Railroa is
are pushing work vigorously, so as to make all
the connections complete, so that by September
St. Paul will be connected with the whole rail
road system of tue country, except the gap
between Winona aud La Crosse, twenty-six
miles.
The French papers announce a book by 51.
de la Chaire, which has this lively title: "L'His

tiles Romains, depuis Jahit I icrre Jusqu'a nos
iours. Mjsteres ct Intimites de la Cour de
Rome; la Sainte Inquisi'ion; Abominations des

work have already appeared.
Gustavo Pore's new edition of "Los Fnbles
de la Fontaine" i.' to be published in Paris by
Hachettc, in weekly numbers, at fifty centimes
each. There will be about thrpc hundred illus
trations. It Is understood that this work is to
contain some of the best efforts of the artist,
and m a direction which will be somewhat new
to his admirers, viz., the portrayal of animal
life, after the manner of Kaulbach, Grtuidvillc,
and Harrison Weir.
The records of the Fourth AudiWs office
show that during the Rebellion tbe naval force
of the United States captured over fifteen hun
dred prizes, some of which were worth as high
as two hundred thousund dollars. Besides
these, important captures of corn, rice, and
cotton were made. It 1s stated that the navy
has netted over twenty million dollars as its
share in these prizes.
The Acadpmv of Inscriptions and Belles
Lettres of the French lnst'tute has awarded the
prize ol ten thousand francs, established by the
late Baron Gobert tor The best work relating to
French History, to the "Histure Politique de
Charlemagne" of M. Gaston Paris, lecturer on
foreign literature.
