PLANTS AND LIGHT.
Results of Constant Exposure to the
Eays of Electric Lamps,
place it by a lamp, should this become
necessary, for instance, in oases of month
disease. The tiny lamp already mentioned
is also mounted on a laryngoscope, and is
thus of great value in the treatment of in
fectious diseases.

Further epeeific information on the effect
of electric light on plants is afforded by the
resnlts of recent experiments at Cornell
University. The general effect of the naked
light running all night was to hasten ma
turity, especially in the case of leaf plants,
such as lettuce, spinach, etc, which ran to
ced before edible leaves were formed. For
five feet either side of the lamp the plants
died soon after coming up. Two varieties
of cress acted in the same way, and the sur
viving plants were in full bloom seven
wests after sowing, while those in tho dark
bouse were still in good leaf. Radishes
were injured by the light in direct propor
tion to their proximity to the lamp, those
within three to six feet being nearly dead
at the end of six weeks. In regard to en
tire crops, it was found that those obtained
in the normal house were about twice as
great as those from the light compartment.
Tests were then made with a view to dis
covering whether the injury to the plants
resulted from the electric- light itself or
from the fact that they received light dur
ing the whole 24 hours. The plants wero
covered during the day in such a manner as
to entirely exclude the light, while permit
ting a free circulation of air. Badishes
subjected to this treatment were slender
and sickly, assumed a faint green color and
died in three or four weeks. The fact that
the light hastened seed-bearing suggested
that a modification might, under certain
conditions, be profitable, and to this end
the lamp was cnclosad in a white "opal"
glass globe. The resnlts wero very much
the same, but in a less decree, with the ex
ception of the lettuce, which was decidedly-better-in
the electric light house. The in
fluence of the light upon Jproductive
ness, and color of flowers was found
to vary with different species
and with different colors within the
same species. Several varities of tulips gave
interesting results. "When certain of these
came into full flower it was found that in
every case the colors were deeper and richer
in the light house; but the colors lost their-
intensity alter lour or live days, and were in
distinguishable from those in the dark
house. The plants in the light compartment
had longer stems and larger leaves than the
others; and there was a greater number of
poriferous plants in the light Verbena
flowers growing near the electric light were
uniformly injured. These and other experi
ments point to the probability that while, in
a variety of instances, the eflect oj the aro
light is injurious to the proper ijrowth of
plants, yet under certain conditions the
judicious use of the electric light will prove
particularly helpful
The Sponge Industry.
The sponge industry, which for many
years was centered in the Bahamas, is rap
idly developing along the southern coast of
Florida. It is found that the sponges grow
ing along the Florida coast are much super
ior to the Bahama sponges. The method of
gathering sponges is by means of iron hooks
attached to long poles. By using a water
glass the fisherman can readily discover the
sponges at the bottom, and then with his
pole and hook he will bring up those fit
for his purpose, leaving the smaller ones
untouched. Some sponges adhere firmly to
the bed of the sea, while others are not
attached at all, the latter being known
as rollers. After being bought in
the local market they ere carted to the
shipping yard of the purchaser, where they
are cut and trimmed into proper shapes and
sizes; thev are then washed and thoroughly
dried, being generally spread in the sun for
that purpose upon canvas or old sails; next
thev are assorted according to varieties and
grades, and then packed, by means of hand
presses, into bales weighing from 20 to 150
pounds. Sometimes the sponges are
bleached bv beinc pressed through a solu
tion of white lime and water so weak as not
to injure the fibre of tho sponge. Nearly
all the sponges are bought in open market
by resident agents, who tray for New York,
London and Paris houses, shipping the
goods to tneir principals.
daily, and bo perfect are the automatio
arrangements that only 23 hands are re
quired for the output. One clever electri
cal appliance will doubtless soon be gener
ally adopted in Enclish mines. "When ft
wagon ot ore is tipped at the shaft's mouth,
electric contact is made in the tipping, and
a small needle in the office makes a red
mark on a band of paper revolving byclock
work. The object of this is not so much to
give automatically the number of wagons
tipped as to show at a glance that the haul
ing is proceeding regularly.
Defects In Unseed Oil.
In a paper read before the Society of Arts,
England, on the durability of paintings
with oils and varnishes, A. P. Laurie
showed that Unseed oil cannot be relied on
to protect a surface from moisture, as it ab
sorbs water from the air. This would
scarcely bo thought possible considering the
general nature of oils and fats, but it can
readily be shown to be the case-by means of
a sufficiently sensitive reagent. Dry sul
phate of copper, when ground up with lin
seed oil and painted on a glass slide, forms
a whitish green opaque enamel. This re
mains unchanged if kept over a dessicator,
but on exposure to the air it becomes green
and transparent, showing the absorption of
moisture. Most of the "varnish gums, as
copal and mastic, have the same defect-
are now compulsory on all omnibuses, and
and their examination entails the employ
ment of on army of inspectors. At night
this .is difficult, and the inspectors have had
recourse to a small electriobuttonhololamp,
which is worked by a pocket battery. On
asking for the passenger's ticket the in
spector has only to touch the battery, and a
vivid light reveals the number and par
ticulars oi me printed sup.
The Perception of Color.
Dr. It "Webster Fgx is of opinion that
savage raoes possess the perception of color
to a greater degree than do civilized races.
After examining ICO Indian boys Br. Fox
found no case of color blindness. In the
same number of white boys, at least five
cases would have been discovered. Some
years ago 250 Indian boys were examined,
and only two cases of color blindness were
met with, a very low percentage when com
pared with the whites. Amone the Indian
.girls he did not find any. Among whites
two lemaies in every i,uou are color Dund.

ringer Tip jCviflcnce.
Further evidence as to the reliability or
finger tip impressions for indicating char
acter or establishing identity has been com
piled and published by Dr. A'Bundo. After
examining the fingers of seven idiots, he
found that the markings on the tips of all
the fingers on each hand were identical,
thus showing a marked difference between
those of idiots and of sane people. The
thumb tips of one idiot had the same mark
ings as those on his fingers. There was a
noticeable smoothness ot finger tips in all
idiots. In one case there was a perfect re
semblance between the markings on the fin
gers of an idiot and on those ot his mother.
Out of 20 cases of imbecility in 4 only was
one sort of tracing found on all tho fingers,
in the remaining 16 n tendency to repetition
asserting itself to a considerable extent. In
hemiplegia, when the lesion was old stand
ing, a distinct smoothness of the finger tips
was noticed, which prevented the obtaining
of good impressions. A prominent medical
authority is of opinion that from a medico
legal point of view these researches may
ultimately have an important bearing on
crimes of a sanguinary nature. For in
stance, if drawings were taken of the im
pression of a hand bathed in blood the mark
ings would be most clear, more especially if
the criminal had not merely laid his hand
on any papers, but had actually fingered
them. The evidence of crime would be still
more valuable it the criminal had-anypecul-iarity
of finger tip impressions.
The Future of Sailing Ships.
It has been assumed, in view of the great
development of steamship traffic, that sail
ing ships would eventually disappear. This
assumption is fallacious. One of the most
marked features in shipbuilding during the
past few years has been the distinct revival
of the use of sailing ships and the building
of some of the largest Eailing ships afloat.
At a recent launch of a sailing ship in Scot
land, where the industry has taken a new
start, Lord Brassey, in returning thanks for
the toast of his health, said: There are
many sound reasons for believing that sail
ing ships are destined to be used for a long
time to come. The wind, though an uncer
tain power, is a very cheap power, and
"there are many important descriptions of
goods in regard to which it is of no conse
quence that the speed at which they are
conveyed across the ocean should be the
quickest possible. Moreover, the sailing
ship is sometimes a very convenient ware
house for the merchant.
New Insnlatlnc Material.
A new material possessing improved in
sulating properties is composed of sulphur,
7 pounds; pipeclay, 1 pounds; slate dust,
1 pounds, paraffine wax, 2 ounoes, and a
variable quantity of oxide. The quantity
of oxide added depends chiefly upon the
color which it is desired to give the mix
ture; it may vary from one-half to one
fourth of the total weight of the other in
gredients. In working up the mixture the1
clay and slate dust are first thoroughly
mixed together by grinding, the materials
being heated. The paraffine wax is then
added and the mixture is incorporated into
a paste. After exposure for a time, during
which it becomes dry and hard, the mixture
is ground to a powder, and then mixed with
the proper quantities of sulphur and metal
lic oxide.
Automatio totter Deliverer.
An ingenious contrivance for distributing
letters or -parcels to the different fiats of
large buildings has been invented by a
German mechanic. A large collecting box,
provided with compartments to correspond
to the various flats, is fixed in the base
ment The placing of letters or parcels in
this box establishes electrical communica
tion with the top story, the effect being to
release a stream of water which fills a
cylinder. As soon as the cylinder is fnliit -
descends,. causing tne box in tne basement
to ascend at the same time, and by a -simple
mechanical contrivance to discharge the
contents of the various compartments into
the leceivine boxes of the various floors.
"When the colleotintr box has reached the J
top story, the cylinder, by emptying itself,
permits of its return to the basement.
Atmospheric Electricity.
An interesting reproduction of Benjamin.
Franklin's historical experiment with the'
kite, under somewhat different conditions
has been carried out at the Blue Hill Ob
servatory by Alexander McAdie. What'
Mr. McAdie has demonstrated is that elec
tricity can be drawn from a kite high in
the air in a cloudless sky. The kite dis
charged sparks from the lower end of an
insulated wire reaching down to the earth,
where an electrometer partly measured the
increasing electric force. So nearly did the
auantity of electricity in the upper air oor-
Tespond to the height of the kite above the
eanu tuafc tag experiuieurcr cuuiu usually
determine whether the kite was raising or
falling by simply looking at the needle of
the electrometer.
Improvement In lamps.
Ot late years the keen competition in the
lamp trade has led to great improvements
in lamps for industrial and other purposes.
of these the latest is a spray Iamp,that gives
a light of from 500 to 5,000 candle-power, as
I may be required, by the simple turning of
a cock, it is claimed tnat tne lamp docs
not require to be periodically cleaned, and
will burn any kind of oil, mineral, vegeta
ble or animal The lamp reeulates its own
supply of oil, and when set going pumping
lis dispensed with, as sufficient pressure is
automatically secured to create up or spray
the lamp.
Value of Motalllo Sleepers.
The injury of metallic sleepers from cor
rosion has been greatly overrated. Even in
the damp climate of the Netherlands' the
loss from corrosion does not, it is said, ex
ceed 4 per cent in 20 years. Experience in
India shows that metallio sleepers, which
are subjected to a special treatment before
leaving tho works, are thoroughly to'be re
eled, ou for efficiency and lasting wear.

A Model Prisoner.
It is seldom that a convict turns the
hours of his enforced confinement to such
good purpose as an inmate of a Maryland
prison, of whose ingenuity a cotemporary
gives an interesting account Hiaterm of
imprisonment is 13 years, on a conviction of
horse stealing, ot which he asserts he is in
nocent By working overtime he has
earned such sums of money as to enable him
to purchase books, of which his cell con
tains over 200. A short time ago when
electrio light wires were being placed in the
prison be became interested in electricity,and
bought some standard works on the subject
The result was the construction of half a
dozen different electrical appliances, includ
in a burglar alarm which no has just com-,
pleted for the bedroom of the warden of the
Iirison. Another result of his industry is a,
ock which is so arranged that hammering
on it drives the bolts deeper into their fast-1
ening. He exhibited a model of this lock
to tne warden, who was so pleased with it
that it was at once adopted forvuse in tho
prison. Castings for the locks were made.
:n the prison foundry, a lathe was set up in
the priaoncr's cell, and he was relieved of
all other tasks, so that his entire time could
be devoted to the manufacture of his locks'
with which, in a short time, all the dormi
tories of the prison will be provided.
Electricity In Mlnlnc.
The members of an English mining insti
tute recently paid a visit to the Mechernich
lead mine in Brussels. Not only is this
mine electrically lighted, but current is
used throughoutibr the economy of labor.

Prevention of Scurvy.
In a discussion in the Lancet on the best
methods of preventing scurvy on board ship,
an excellent specific was recalled. Many
years ago on English surgeon of repute,
while serving in the Indian Mercantile
Marine, accompanied a large number of
soldiers and seamen in aeailmg ship to In
dia. This ship was the only vessel of the
squadron which arrived in port free from
scurvy, a result which the surgeon, seoured
by keeping up a full and fresh Supply of
mustard and cress, which he directed the
crew to grow for their own nse in warm,
moist flannel. He lost not a single seaman
or soldier, a service for which he received
the thanks of the Board of Directors.
