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.

The height of an olive tree is usu-
ually 20 feet, but it is sometimes as
high as 50 feet, and itreaches almost a
fabulous age, One recently destroyed
at Deaulieu has a recorded age of five
centuries, and it was 33 feet In circum-
ference. 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,

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.

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.

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,

Professor Etvhu Thompson says that in

the small roads for cities and suburban

cities, and he looks for a higher speed
