Wire for particular and illustrated pamphlet Not a hotel, not a hospital, but performing the work formerly done by a leather belt 22 inches wide, weighing 814 pounds, and in another mill a steel belt 3 1-2 Inches wide weighing 1:2 pounds, transmits 40 horsepower as effectively as did formerly a leather belt 12 inches wide, weighing 6t pounds. A government test has shown a saving of 61 horsepower on a drive of 640 horsepower.

The steadiness and uniform speed are especially appreciated in the woolen industry, and the steel belts also economize space do not slip or stretch, and give th greatest effllcency of power dellvi pressure tube anemometer ha a been placed at an exposed station of the West and South Clara rallwayr Ireland, to give notice of the terrfic ocean gales, which sometimes derail trains. A special eflectrlcal signaling device has been added by the British meteorological office, and this transmits an alarm when the wind reaches 65 miles an hour and another If 85 miles Is attained. Trains ar ballasted after the first signal, all trafiic being suspended on the second alarmA By a new method of artificially rtpening certain fruits that are bitter and highly astringent In a green state, such as dates and persimmons, Francis E. Lloyd, of McGill university has made it practicable to market such fruits in an edible condition before they have become too soft for use. For centuries the Arabs have ripened dates by exposing to the vapors of vinegar; and the Japanese have similarly brought persimmons to tho edible stage by placing in tubs from which sake, the national whiskey, has been freshly emptied.

Gore, of tho United States bureau of chemistry, has found that the same effect Is produced In certain persimmons by carbon dioxide at normal pressure. Reasoning that the result should ba hastened by Increased dosage of gas. Mr. Lloyd constructed a simple and cheap apparatus for applying the ca hon dioxide under pressure, and tu experiments of the last to seasons be has shown that the ripening may be made four or five time a rapid as when no pressure wa used. Under 45 pounds per square Inch the fruit became non-astringent In about 15 hours.

Hard green persimmon shipped on Sept. 1st. from Alabama should on the 3d. be in Montreal, where they should keep green a month or longer in storage, but where they could be perfectly ripened for the market by the morning of the 4th. The ripening, it is suggested, is due to coagula-tio of the Jelly enclosing the tannin.

of the fruit, the tanhln, without being changed, being thus given a practically waterproof coating. Improving flower by making them keep longer after cutting Is a new Idea In plant evolution. At the New Hamp-I shire agricultural experimental station the effect of various substances on IfoBninir r.MalltlAa tt rr a i rt a .1 a been tested, and it has been found that a very material influence can be exerted. A bonemeal manure added one-fifth to the keeping time.v besides increasing the yield of flowers. Hen-mamire on the other hand tended to give flowers withering more quickly.

An extract of-brain has beenue, scibed to the British medical association by Dr. W. M. Smith. It is given by mouth, and in certain mental derangements, such as epileptic insanity and melancholia, it is 'claimed have powerful effect in quieting and relieving distressing syintoins.

In his own experiments, Prof.

Stoklasa ha found that the rays of radium emanation dissolved in water may cause seeds to germinate twoorthre times-as rapidly asin ordinary water. The photosynthesis of later plant growth was produced, and acting on carbon dioxide and nascent hydrogen in the presents of ultra-violet light gave formaldehyde, which in the presence of potash condenses to sugar. It seemed to be shown that photosynthesis in chorophyll cells, so familiar in plant growth, is due entirely to ulra-vlolet light or radiations from radioactive bodies. In nature carbohydrates result from the action of ultra-violet light on carbon dioxide and water, and without this synthesis, it was pointed out all life would be Impossible. The theory' that all electrical resistance would dissapear at the absolute zero of temperature 273 degrees below zero C.

has been confirmed by M. H. K. Onnes. In 1908 he liquefied helium at 4.8 above absolute zero, and In later experiments, Just reported to the Dutch acadamy of sciences, he has obtained a cold of only 3 degrees above absolute zero by boiling the liquid helium in a partial vacuum of about Hindmarsn, Pnotograpner.

Lead-impregnated silk has been brought to the notice of the French academy of sciences. It Is a new shield material to protect x-ray operators, and has the advantage of flexibility for gloves, etc.

Water-purifying by ultra-violet light Is a French Idea, and in expermenta by Prof. V. Henri, of Parts university, all harmful microbes were effectively destroyed In- water clear enough to be penltrated by the rays. A portable equipment Is now being tested by the Austrian army for giving troops pure drinking water. The apparatus is mounted on a pair of two-wheeled trucks, and includes case containing a small gasoline engine, coupled to a rotary' pump and dynamo.

A sterilizing tank, when wanted for use, Is removed and set up on a The water pumped from the pond or other source of supply, passed through a rapid filter if not clear, and then delivered to the tank. Wires lead the current from the dynamo to the nier-cury-vupor lamp generating the ultraviolet rays. Amomutic devices control the apiwiratus, and cut off the current and sto-tlie-punvp-whwrt- nH' water Is lielng used. As infected water Is the chief cause of the high mortality in army operations, a successful appratus of this kind must be an important advance. Some interesting experiences -with steel belts, which w-ere first brought out In Germany some years ago, are noted in a consular report, frorii Hiiddcrsrteld, Eng.
