BCLENTIFI10, Remarkable Electrical Invention, electrical inventions, some good, some bad, and some so supremely foolish as to make one wonder that any man of average intelligence should waste a second thought on them. But turn the ordinary newspaper reporter loose on anything which has a suspicion of electricity or magnetism about it, and he will see, if not ‘sermons in stones,” at least some wonderful manifestations «destined to overturn all previous ¢on- ceptions of force, power, and mechani. cal theory, *‘Heat as a mode of mo- tion’’ is nowhere as compared with the deductions of these modern Tyndalls, The latest 1ustance of reportial cred- ulity we find in a daily exchange, It is s0 good, and so far from being true, that it merits special mention. The invention described consists of two twenty horse power boilers to which is temporarily connected a ten horse power boiler, eugine and dynamo, Steam is raised in the small boller, the engine drives the dynamo, the wires frem which are connected with the ends of the tubes in the large boilers, the tubes being filled with asbestos. The current of electricity is turned on and, presto! the asbestos becomes red hot, the water In the large boilers is converted into steam and forty horse power 18 the result, This process can be multiplied without limit, ana it is only a question of a string of boilers, engines and dynamos a mile or two long to put Niagara totally in the back- ground. Shades of Carnot, Joule and Watt, what will eome next! exclaims the editor of the Station Engineer, from which paper the above is copied. <A The minimum dry weather flow of ceriain rivers is given as follows in a report by Willis Chipman on the pro- posed sewerage of Brantford, Ont; St. Lawreuce at Brockville, Ont,, 18,. 000,000 cubic feet per minute; Missis- sippl at St. Paul, Min, 2,000,000; Conuecticut, at Holyoke, Mass,, 360,- 000; Ohio, at Pittsburg, Pa., 100,000; Seine, at Paris, France, 100,000; Mo- hawk, at Cohoes, N.

The olive tree 18 exceedingly prolific under cultivation; the fruit yields about 20 per cent of its weight, exclusive of kernel, in oil. Italy is said to produce 83,000,000; France 7,000,000 galions of oil annually, The tree does not vegetate readily beyond 2,000 feet altitude or 45 degrees lati- tude, cee ces A useful attribute of paper not gen- erally known is for preserving ice in a pitcher of water. Fill the pitcher with ice and water and set it on the centre of a plece of paper; then gather tue paper together at the top and place the ends tightly together, placing a strong rubber band around the coll wo hold it close, so asto exclude the air, A pitcher of ice water treated in tuis manner has been known to stand over night with scarcely a perceptible melt- {ng of the ice. Ts sn In order to keep machinery from rusting take one ounce of camphor, dissolving it in a pound of lard; take off the scum and mix as much fine black lead as will give it iron-color. Clean the machinery and smear it with this mixture, After twenty-four hours, rub clean with soft, linen cloth. It will keep ciean for months under ordinary circumstances. ———— I In one of the leading locomotive shops there is now building an engine with an enormous driving wheel, nine feet in circumference, which will be fixed in the centre in front ot the boiler, instead of ordinary axles the truck wheels will have bicycle spindles and experts clalm that the large driving wheel will carry a train at over ninety wiles an hour, intl Mss: Doctor Fim is quoted as saying: *‘I have never known a dyspeptic to re. sover vigorous health who undertook 0 llve after a strictly regulated diet, and 1 have never known an instance of A healthy person living according to a strictly dietic system who did not become a dyspeptic, Professor Etvhu Thompson says that in the near future railways will be run by electricity. By this he means not only the small roads for cities and suburban districts, but the large ones connecting cities, and he looks for a higher speed than is pow attained with the steam locomotive.
