EOM rttsimtglj Ittaidtf. SCIENTIFIC. , LOPMENT BY :ELECTRICITY.' MT ysidan has recently started the theory Ildren may be improved in mind as .in body by electricity. He gives ahce of a child, which, under the in of electricity, grew three centimers gle month, and has since been first, l o f last, in his class. Vegetation is richer and more rapid in its growth electrified, than otherwise. The the iroposes, by way of exP'eriment that lowest pupils of each class in a ly or college' be subjected to this electrical 4gment. cynic GAS SIGNAL.—A. Berlin` me c has inv .- anted an ingenious apparatus ving an alatm in case of the presence haute oxide or coal gas in a room. It sts of a galvanic battery with a bell and as tube filledwith liquid chloride of pal m. This metalic salt is extremely sen to the pressure of carbonic oxide gas. all quantity of the gas will at once • down some of the.metal from the hot ,f the tube at once establishing a connec in the current of electricity, and the nt ringing of' a bell will warn the er dr his danger. RTIFICULT , 3lncEßAts.—The number of als made artificially is daily on the in se, and we shall' probably be able at e time to prepare a majority of the Cs found on the face of the earth. We e shown the practical bearing of this arch in the manufacture of lapis lazuli. ently Clanet has succeeded in making me of iron and chloride of chromium, hat the metals iron and chromium are in same prop3rtions as in the native ore, n adding a slight excess of amnlonio, and ing the precipitate with carbonate of monis in a platinum crucible.' The pro ct possesses all of the physical and chem. properties of the native stone; its specific ivity, insolubility in strong boiling acids, clor i and metallic lustre bear the closest e blance to chrome iron ore. 'By taking o equivalents of oxide• of iron. and one uivalent of chloride of chromium ' and sing with borax, beautiful octahedral crys •ti are obtained. • • - • FRENCII "METRIC WEL,wrs.—Prof. enj. Pierce, of the U. S. Coast_Survey, has mmenced carrying out a resolution of angress declaring that each State shall be -rnished with a full set of standard metric 'eights and measures. The specimens of e measures - have been sent on to Wash . gton for approval by the Department. he divided line meters are made, of brass ompounded in the proportion of three parts f copper and one of zinc, the bar extending eyond the terminal lines. • They-are di i d dedcimeters e d into centiM eters and illimeters. The length between tile ter , anal lines is equal to one meter at a tem iterature of the bar of about 70 degrees Fah enhelt. The form of the weight is similar to the present American sbindard weight— they are of brass, ofan Aseertained specific gravity, equal- when weighed in a vacuum to the weight pf the - Prench.platinum stand ard ; there ArOdlograms, demikilograras, and grams. -The standard litre or capacity measure is made of brass, of a form similar to the American standard quart, containing a volume of distilled 'water which, when 'weighed in vacuum, equals the weight of a standard kilogram in vacuum, the water being . at the temperature of its greatest density, the vessel as the' same temperature. The sets of standards, it is asserted, will be 6ompleted before the close of the present 'CHANGE IN THE 'FIXTURE, OF IRO 'S BT imintriorts.'--Among engineering ques tions of great ,practical importance is that relative to the influence on iron of con tinued vibrations, or impact, in changing its internal, character and rendering it more liable to fracture after a time 'than at - first. Many engineers maintain, as the re sult both of theory and eiperiment, that a continued strain has far less effect on an iron bean or rod, than vibrations produced by continual impact - and changes of tem. perature. Thus, in one case, a bar of iron, an inch square, was hung perpendicularly by one end, and a small hammer arranged by clock work so as to strike it continually. After the end of a year, the bar drJpped in two. This bar would, probably, have sup ported a weight at one end of it up to the bending point, for an almost ,indefinite pe riod, Wrought iron is said to be more sub ject to molecular changes than cast iron: There are not wanting persons of great eminence, however, who deny the, fact of any such change or limit it to a degree as being of no practical importance. The late Robert Stephenson referred to the beam of a Cornish engine, which received a shock eight or tea times a minute, equal to about fifty-five tons, for a period of twenty years, without the least apparent change. The, connecting rod-of a certain locomotive that had run fifty thousand miles, and received a violent jar eight times per second, or twen ty-five million vibrations, exhibited no al ; teration. In all cases Investigated by him, of change of texture, he knew Of no single instance where the reasoning was - not deficient in some important link. Dir. Brunel, after accepting they-theory of mole ' atlas` change for a time, _afterwards ex pressed great doubts, Etna thought that the different appearances ihown by iron when broken, arise from the combinations of the causes producing fracture as often as from • any chonge in the texture 4)f the material it self. He found that in •certain instances iron broke with a fibrous fracture by means of a slow, heavy blow, and with a crystal : line fracture when the blow was short and sharp. The whole, subject is one of great practical moment, and deserves a careful • and exhaustive mvestigatiOn. A. NEW TREE FOR 017 R DESERT FLA-in.—We have already referred to. ttie giant eucalyptus tree of Australia as likely to be cf much economical value in the arid regione of America for timber and fuel pn jaccount of their rapidity of growth, adapta tion to the soil, and the excellence of the wood. Another Australian tree, the acacia loplianks, is now belrig experimented upon in Algiers. It grows with wonderful rap idity, aid the seeds may be sown teroade 4 st, and evm from horseback, right on the sur face of t sandy desert. Seeds planted this ,year in Southern France, in March, gener ated in May. and in five months had at tained weight of over six feet. To the dry, rainless Plains of Southern California, New Mexico Ind Texas, this tree would seem to be espeually adapted. - iThe seeds could diinbtles be obtained without difficulty from Dr Muller, the director of the Botanic Garden at Melbourne, who has, this, year sent sewn hundred pounds of them to • FFORCe. TUE lnglish Factory - Act, which went into effet •on januiry let, 1855}, provides that afterthat day the Saturday half holiday shall be compulsory as regards children, young pesons and women, in all factories, vrorkShOrand -places in which any manual labor is prformed, with the exception of a . very few rades, and of those cases in which, the Secretr,y of State has authorize,d . either , the substiution of another halt holiday in stead of -fiturday, or that the hours of work may be teen between seven'A. is. and seven r. Ir., or between: eight A. - is. and eight Thdabor of the women and children must cess on Saturdays at two r. Ar.- Minnesota. The Governor of Minnesota gives the fol lowing facts and advice concerning the Northern Pacific Railroad in his inaugural message : .. The construction of the Northern Pacific Railroad from Lake Superior to Puget Sound awaits the action of Congress on bills now before it, giving aid to the road similar to that given to the Union Pacific Road. I respectfully recommend that you urge upon Congress by resolution and memorial the claims of this road for the necessary aid. It is of great national importance, affording the shortest line and easiest grades across the continent. The distance from New York to Puget's Sound, via the Northern Pa4lfic Railroad, is 2,892 miles; from New York to San Francisco, via the Union Pacific Rail road, 3,417, a difference of. 225 miles' in favor of the Northern route. From Chicago to San Francisco by the Union Pacific t, - Roa the distance is 2,438; from west end of L ke Superior to Puget's Sound, by the Nor hero Pacific route, the distance is 1,775 mile , a difference in favor of the Northern rou of 075 miles, or more than one-fourth; whi e Puget's Sound is nearer by from 700 to 1,000 miles to Japan,China and India, than San Francisco is. . hardly need urge the great benefits that would result to Min nesota from the opening of the Northern route. It would traverse the northern half of the State, giving such local advantages and developments to that less favored por tion of the State, as no other agency will give. •It will develop the vast interior re gion north and west of Minnesota, both within the United States and British Amer ica, for speedily lateral lines would be built into the British Possessions, the trade and commerce of which - would flowe toward Mi nnesota, vastly augmenting our commerce and manufactures, and increasing our popu lation and wealth. Instead of being on the. verge of population and wealth, it would make us central. It would give us command of the trade, s hnost exclusively, of Montana, the richest of the great mining districts of the continent. Every effort of the State should be. put forth to secure this work, in which we have so great a stake. - A Boos has recently been published In London, asserting that a musical artist, named Augustus Meves, who died in 1859, was the Dauplan of France, thus presenting a new rival to The claims of the, late Rev. Eleazar Williams. The story runs that atter the execution of Louis XVI., the Dauphin was released from prison by the connivance of some of the keepers, who substituted an other child in nis place. This child after wards died in prison, and the genuine Dauphin was put under the care of a Mrs. Meves, who took him to England, where he grew up and passed for her son. At his death he left a widoW and several children, two of whom have written the book re ferred to. The London Review remarks : "The claimant himself appears to have refrained very wisely from pressing himself upon the attention of the public. Beyond writing to the Duchess d'Angouleme—a step which proved fruitless—he was• con tent with his humble position in society, and it is much to his credit that he with ,stood the temptation of going to Paris and publicly pi. - claiming himself asLouis XVL, ' a proposition to that effect having been made to him by some persons in the year 1890. He lived a respected and useful life, and died in May, 1859. 'Uneasy lies the head that wears a crown,' and happier far was Mr. Augustus Meves in his quiet and professional life In England than he would have been, had destiny called him to the throne of France—a throne which in the few years since the fearful tragedies of the Revolution has seen so many occupants. In, pronouncing the verdict of 'not proven,' we desire to do full justice to the motives which have induced the authors to honor their father's memory by the compilation of their book. If they have not succeeded in establishing his title to royalty they have at least the satisfaction of presenting him to the world by as worthy rstitle—that of an Eng lish gentleman." A FRENCH paper states that during the late watering place season a rich Ameri can, whose wife was ill, carried his daugh ter, a young lady of eighteen; to Baden. A married man abducted her, and she has not been seen since. The unhappy father has just returned to Paris, resigned his place at the club, and offers for sale his house and furniture. In accordance with a vow, he will convert all his property into ready money and devote it sacredly to the recovery of his daughter and the punishment of her abductor. SPECIAL NOTICES.
