LATE SEATS FKOJI THE SCIENTISTS
pntmEX FOR TIIE DISPATCIT.l
The newest of the many substitutes for
glass which arc constantly appearing is the
invention of a Viennese glass manufacturer,
and seems likely to be especially useful for
photographic purposes. This product is
said to have substantially the same proper
ties as glass, resisting the action of salts and
alkalies and of dilute acids, besides being
inodorous and transparent. It has, how
ever, the advantage of being flexible and
infrangible to a great degree, while its in
flammability is much less than that of its
collodion prototypes. It is so simply made
that the photographers can undertake the
process of manufacture for themselves with
out much difficulty.
From four to eight parts of collodion wool
are dissolved in about 100 parts by weight
of ether or alcohol or acetic ether, and with
this is intimately combined from 2 to 4 per
cent of castor oil or any non-resinous oil,
and from 4 to 10 per cent of resin or Canada
balsam (soft resin). The compound, when
poured on a glass plate and subjected to the
drying action of a current of air of about
50 Centigrade, solidifies in a compara
tively short time into a transparent, glass
like sheet or plate, the thickness of which
may be regulated as required.
The Luminosity of Flames.
The ingenious Chatelier pyrometer has
leccntlyly been applied to measuring the
temperature of the various zones of an or
dinary gas jet. From the results obtained
it appears that the temperature 13 only 500
degrees cent, at about one-half inch above
the burner, after which it rises rapidly to a
little over 1,200 degrees at the commence
ment of the luminous zone, increasing
alterward to 1,36S degrees cent, near the
top of the flame. These results have an im
portant bearing on the luminosity of the
Came, which is usually attributed to the
liberation of solid particles of carbon in
the flame. The incandescence of the parti
cles is the principal source of the light.
Tracing out the chemical changes which
occur in the successive zones from the mouth
of the jet up to a temperature of 1,000 de
gress to 1,200 degrees cent., Prof.
Lewis has found that between those limits
tiie original hydro-carbons of the
gas are converted into acetylene, which is a
clear, colorless gas, containing two parts of
h drogen to 24 of carbon. At a bright red
heat this gas is decomposed into carbon aud J
muracn, accumpauieu uv 111c uucrauun ui
heat. In the gas flame this change com
mences at the beginning of the luminous
zone, at which point onlv the requisite tem-
leratuie is reached. This discoery is in
le with the well known fact, that the
luminosity of a flame can be diminished by
cooling it, and a still further cooling will
extinguish the flame. To a certain extent
this action is always going on, the great
rush of air to the external surface of a flame
cooling it down to such a degree that par
ticles of gas escape unburnt, as can be de
tected by careful analysis.
rirc-frotectin" Hclme.
A smoke helmet of real utility has been
adopted by a "Western fire brigade. It
not only protects the eyesight from the
blinding smoke, but furnishes sufficient
fresh air for breathing purposes to enable
the fireman to continue his work under cir
cumstances whica would otherwise be pro
hibitive. It comprises a large flexible hood
that entirely encloses the head and neck,
the head being forced upward through a
j-ielding neck orifice which closes snugly
about the neck. The front of the helmet is
provided with a transparent screen of glas3
or mica, so that the view of the fiieman is
absolutely unimpeded. A strong cylindrical
air reservoir, supported at the back
of the neck, contains a sup
plv of fresh air, strongly compressed, which
will serve to maintain respiration for a
reasonable time. The cylinder communi
cates with the interior of the hood, the air
being let in graduallv bv a valve that con
trols its admission according to adjustment.
.V mall pressure gauge is connected with
the cylinder, which indicates the amount of
compression. An airpump is also attahed,
by which the supply of air can be replen
ished when necessary. The fireman is thus
enabled not only to get much nearer to the
fire, but to exist and carry on his operations
under conditions that formerly would in
evitably have been fatal to life.
Idiopathic ISaldness.
A writer in an English medical paper
states that much of the prevalent idiopathic
baldness that is, baldness not due to pre
vious disease or exciting causes could be
prevented, or, at all events, modified, if
people would take a few sensible precau
tions. A headcovering should be used as
little as possible, and never indoors, in
trains or in closed carriages. In summer
and still weather straw hats are best; in
v inter, light felt, ventilated and unlined.
Too constant washing of the liair is un
necessary, as well as harmful. Once a week
isquue cuougu ior cleanliness, as well as
for mainiaiumg the strength of the hair.
The same remaik applies to constant brush
ing; continual brushing, especially with
hard brushes, should be avoided. There is
a common notion that greasing the hair is
ulgar, aud it is now regarded as "bad
form." The consequence is that many peo
ple fall into the other extreme, and never
apply any pomade at all. After the hair
has been washed it is quite beneficial to
applv a moderate quantity of some form of
simple grease or oil.
Hardening Gjpsain Casts.
The perishability of plaster casts has al
ways been regarded as a great disadvantage
to their employment for art work Various
methods lor hardening their surface have
been proposed, and it is now stated that this
can be effectually done by using a solution
of soluble silica, followed by the applica
tion of baryta solution. Another method
consists in making the cast of a mixture of
plaster and various metallic hydrates, such
as those of alumina and zinc, winch are con
vened into silicates rby subsequent treat
ment of the casts with soluble silica. It is
possible that some such treatment as this
would be useful for making decorative, tiles
and for lithographic stones, which require a
hard and smooth surface.
Electrical Insurance.
The report that during the Electrical Ex
hibition the London-Crystal Palace insur
ance rates have been raised some 30 per
cent has caused no little indignation in
electrical circles in England. A leading
English paper now suggests that an elec
trical insurance company shall at once be
started in England. It would insure all the
buildings on which the ordinary companies
want to raiae the rates, as, knowing the real
risk, it could outbid them. The electric
light is so much safer than gas or petroleum
that as soon as a building is lighted elec
trically the proposed electrical insurance
company could put in their offer at a re
duced rate.
Permanent Tinting aiorplilne.
The many serious results arising from the
ccaidental substitntion of morphine for
such innocent agents as quinine, eta, has
led to the suggestion by an American
chemist that a simple method of rendering
morphine easily distinguishable should be
adopted. This suggestion has been acted
on by a German chemist, who has found
that by treating the salts with an anilin
dye a beautiful pink tint can be imparted to
them, and the idea of making the coloring
of the dangerous drng a permanent practice
has been well received in medical circles.
Telephone Kates Abroad.
A telephone man has been writing to the
daily papers in connection with the agita
tion now going on for a reduction of tele
phone rentals. He says that the instru
ments for which subscribers in New York
are charged 150 per annum, cost but ?3 42
to manufacture, and that the rival company
which he represents sell for export a com
plete subscriber's outfit for from 15 to 517.
The charge for a long distance instrument
in 2few York is 590 extra, or in all, 5240 a
year. This instrument is sold outright for
export for 520. Montreal, just across the
border, pays 533 a year and has single lines
to each subscriber and metallic circuits.
Berlin and most German cities pay 53 to
53 50 a month. London subscribers pay
10 a year, or 54 a month. At Barbadoes
and Trinidad the rates are 52 50 to 54 a
month for residence and business houses
respectively. In Venezuela the ruling rate
is 536 a year, and in Mexico City it is 5G0.
Electric Fire Knglncg.
It seems not unlikely that before long the
fire engines in many of our large cities will
be worked electrically. The substitution of
an electric motor in place of the present
steam engine for running the pumps wonld
be one of the first steps in an improved
service. "Wires to furnish power could be
run from underground conduits in the
streets up through posts close to the fire
plugs, and end in" sockets similar to those
now used for incandescent lamps. The ob
jection has been raised that to supply many
fire engines an extra supply of current
would be needed. A fire alarm gong and
indicator could be placed in the electric
light works, and when a fire occurred one
or more dynamos could be thrown into ser
vice at a moment's notice.
Train Lighting In England.
Some of the trains on the Midland Kail
way in England have been fitted up with
electric light. The light is supplied by a
dynamo fixed in the guard's Van, and
coupled directly onto the axle of one of the
pairs of wheels. By this means sufficient
motor power is generated through the mere
traveling of the train to supply about 250
eight-candle incandescent lamps, and to
charge the accumulators with the reserve
requisite to maintain the electric light when
the train is stationarv.
HASVABD BOYS 10 BE GOWNED.
An English CnMora Adopted by the Seniors
at Cambridge.
Cambridge, Mass., March 17. Special
A. It. Craudall, Chairman of the Harvard
Senior Class Day Committee, had made his
report on the cap and gown question, and
circulars will be sent to the members of the
senior class. The award of the contract for
the manufacture of the gowns has been de
layed owing to the negligence of several
firms to whom the contract was offered. The
cap and gown will be furnished by an
Albany firm. The co-operative society will
ict as its agents, and measurements .may be
taken there and the goods will be delivered
when finished.
The material of the gown is alpaca, and
will cost, with the cap. 57 50. Class day
officers will wear, to distinguish them from
the other seniors, a red tassel on their caps,
the gowns remaining the same. The gowns
will be worn all day and through the even
ing. Xo dress suit will be worn, or, if it
is, it must be worn under the gown. It is
expected that, as usual, visitors and under
class men will wear dress suits in the evening-
LIVELY IIHES FOB 1TKEE BARKIS'
Between His Divorce Cmse and a Salt for
Ttlnslclani Wage.
Sait Fkaxcisco, March 17. Special
McKec Rankin, the actor, was summoned
before Justice Campbell, in this city, yes
terday, to show cause why he should not
pay seven musicians 5210, for which they
have waited 6 years. In August, 1886,
Rankin hired the men for one week and
agreed to pay them the sum claimed. They
sued and got judgment, but until now they
have had no opportunity to recover.
Eankin recently came herefrom the East
to press his divorce suit against his wife.
He has been acting at a local theater for
several weeks, ana has received large wages.
Hence the anxiety of the musicians to col
lect their judgment. "With this claim and
his divorce snit, Bankin is likely to have
a lively time during the next few weeks.
A Eallroad Man Tries Farming.
The Pittsburg & Moon Kun Coal Com
pany is still extending its operations.
"Within a few dayslthas secured 80,000 tons
of coal by the purchase of the Adams farm
near ML Union church, on the Steubenville
pike. Superintendent Sanford's farming
operations on the lands purchased are stim
ulating the agriculturists of that section.
He has secured an immense -amount of fer
tilizer, aud proposes to raise heavy crops.
Haven't Time to Watch Thieves.
Thieves broke into a box car on the Pitts

THE DEBATE GETS DRY AGAIN.
Only
One cr Two Interesting little Oc
currences Cropping Up.
THE HAKTER-niLL EPISODE ONCE MORE.
Washington, March 17. SL Patrick'
Day brought to "Washington the storm
which people in this vicinity have come to
associate with the day, and, as it snowed
most of the afternoon, the number of visit,
ors to the Capitol was ugmented by a con
siderable addition of those who usually idle
about the streets, so that the tarift debaters
had a large gallery audience up to adjourn
menL The debate threshed over old straw,
and was on the whole uninteresting. Mem
bers, as a rule, took little notice of the
speeches, and spent most of the time in
conversation.
It is getting to be quite the thing to fur
nish illustrations, and Mr. Bowers, of Cali
fornia, to-day rather excelled the produc
ers of watches and clothes by bringing in
and laying before the House a 50-pound
block of tin made in California, for the pur
pose, by ocular demonstration, of adding
force to the statement of Representative
Payne.of New York, that the United States
would be able before long to supply the do
mestic demand for tinware.
Payne, of New York, Baynor, of Mary
land, and Ellis, of Kentucky, were the
speakers of the day. The former's speech
began to lose interest when Mr. Harter, of
Ohio, gave zest to the debate by queries,
ending in an inquiry from Mr. Payne as to
whether or not lie (Harter) had yet heard
from Senator Hill. This sally provoked
laughter and enlivened the proceedings.
Routine Work of the Day.
On motion of Mr. Cox, of Tennessee, a
bill was passed authorizing the St.Louisand
Birmingham Bailroad Company 'to con
struct a bridge across the Tennessee river at
Chilton, Tenn.
Mr. New berry, of Illinois, asked consent
for the consideration of a bill for the pur
chase of a site for a publio building at
Chicago. Mr. Kilgore, of Texas, objected.
Hal? an hour was then consumed in de
terminine who should be the author of the
digest of "the rules lor the present Congress.
The struggle was between Mr. Smith, the
former journal clerk, and Mr. Crutchfield,
the present incumbenL Mr. Crutchfield
was victorious, and the digest will be pre
pared under his supervision.
Mr. Belknap, of Michigan, from the Com
mittee on Military Affairs, reported abill for
the acquisition of a site for harbor defense
at San Diego, CaL Committee of theTVhole.
Also, the establishment of a military post at
Little Koet, Ark. Same order. The
House then went into a committee of the
whole, Mr. Blount, of Georgia, in the chair,
on the free wool bilL Mr. Payne, of New
York, defended the McKinley act, and
entered upon an argument in vindi
cation of the "rulings of Speaker'
Bced in the last Congress, intimating
that the gentlemen who were denouncing
that gentleman as a tyrant were evidently
not speaking in good faith after their action
in sustaining the ruling of Speaker Crisp a
few days ago relative to the reading of the
journal. Proceeding to defend the McKin
ley act he spoke of the advantages accruing
to the people from a protective tariff, and
referred "to the increased production of tin
and the manufacture of tin plate.
Ocular Evidence Snbmitted.
In order to strengthen Mr. Payne's argu
ment, Mr. Bowers, of California, said that
to-morrow he would have upon his desk a
tin block made in his district which would
weigh 56 pounds.
Mr. Payne And I can prove by 100 men
upon the other side that it never came from
California, but from "Wales. Laughter.
Mr. Borers You do not mean that they
will prove it, but that they will say it.
ILaughter.J
Then Mr. Bowers, taking his hat, left the
hall, and in a few minutes returned with
his block of tin, which he placed in triumph
upon his desk, and called .the attention of
the members to it, amid laughter.
Mr. Harter, of Ohio, then took a hand
in the discussion, and plied Mr. Payne with
a number ot questions, ot wnicn Mr. "ayne
finally wearied, and himself assumed the
role of interlocutor, inquiring whether the
gentleman from Ohio had yet received a re
ply from Senator Hill. Laughter. Sena
tor Hill did not appear to be with the gen
tleman on the tariff any more than he was
with him on the silver question. He hoped
that the gentleman from Ohio, when he
heard from Senator Hill on the silver ques
tion, would also tell that gentleman's views
on the question of the tariff Laughter.
Two More Antl-McKIniey Speeches.
Mr. Payne was followed by Mr. Bayner,
of Maryland, who spoke against the Mc
Kinley act
Mr. Ellis, of Kentucky, spoke in ad
vocacy of the pending measure. The basis
ot the entire tarilt, he said, was the woolen
schedule, and it was the duty of the Demo
cratic House to breakthrough this schedule,
and thus cause the entire structure to
totter. This was a progressive measure.
The repeal of the duties on raw material
was but an inconsiderable part ot the bene
fits to result from the passage of this bill.
It proposed the absolute repeal of the com
pensatory duties provided lor in the present
law, the most obnoxious aud at the same
time the most ingeniously contrived device
of protection. Under the operation of the
present law trusts and trade combinations
easily regulated production, fixed prices,
and subverted the course of honest and lair
dealing. The present law utterly disre
garded the rights of consumers and added
nothing to the rate of wages, its whole
scope and purpose being to aid private en
terprise at the expensef the public.
The committee then rose and the House
adjourned.
Not Much Done in the Senate.
In the temporary absence of Vice Presi
dent Morton "at Virginia Beach, Mr. Man
derson, President pro tern of the Senate,

Mr. Frye, from the Committee on
Commerce, reported the Senate
bill making Council Bluffs, la., a port of
delivery, and it was passed. He also re
ported the Senate bill exempting American
coastwise sailing vessels, piloted by their
licensed masters or by United States pilots,
from the obligation to pay State pilots for
services not rendered. Calendar.
Mr. Hawley, from the Committee on Mil
itary Affairs, reported a bill to amend the
statute relative to certificates of merit to
enlisted men of the army (the amendment
being to change the word "privates" into
the words "enlisted men"), and it was
passed.
Mr. Peffer introduced a bill to establish
an electrical experimental station for the
purpose of investigating and determining
whether electricity can be profitably used
uuu appueu us a iuuu c power in tne propul
sion ot farm machinery. Referred to the
Cqmmittee on Agriculture. The Senate
then, .at 10:20 o'clock, on motion of Mr.
