Chemical Miracles ' At the court of the Duke of Brunswick, Professor Beyruss promised that during dinner his coat should becotn , 2 red ; and, to the ania2ement,of the prince and the other guests, it actually became that color. M. Vogel, who relates the fact ; does not reveal the secret made use of by Bcyrnss: but he ! observes that by pouring limewater on the juice of the beet root, a colored liquid is ob tained ; and that a piece of•eloth steeped in this liquor and quickly dried becomes 'red in a few hours, simply by contact with air; and further, that the effect is accelerat ed in' an apartment where champagne and other wines are being plentifully poured out. It has liden proved by recent experiments, that wool died by orchil of a violet color, or stained blue by the accidental sulykate of indigo, in a bath of hydro sulphuric acid, becomes colorless, yet assumes the blue ; or the violet color, on exposure to the free air. Either explanation applies to the modern Let, and indicates the possibility of reviving ancient prodigies: it also discovers the man ner in which, nmid flaming torches and smokinr, incense, in the saucttiaries of poly : theism, the veil concealing the sacred things may have been-seen to change from whiterto a blood red hue, and which spectacle was 'considered the presage of frightful disasters.
