Iu the inii. : 's pdlery of the British Museum an1 : ny .'Xamplesof cut stop.es which !wv. -.ticly or never been employed in jewelry, but should certainly win fa vor :i tlieir own merits. One very Miri''!i example is a little gem cut fr!!' 1 'crystal of the ordinary tin jt:i' '. the same ore which is worked for t:n in the Cornish mines. This is a M-.which, when cut from a suffi ciently transparent crystal, possesses a mol i n ;i u tif nl luster and color. An otlier example is a single rough frag indi! (if j-tone from the ruby mines of lUivi' ah. Which has puzzled many but has been "proven by scientific, tests to !e tl: horo si lie te of lime known as Dai;! -.'ii Itc, and vhoo appearance lea.!- to. the belief that it would make a b'M'ifitul gem. An lC:igIih chemist has found that a pre. j liar wax: evidently not existing in the raw lihre is sometimes 'formed during t he : disintegration of cotton ami linen pulp, and is deposited on the iron walls of the beater. The oc Minv:i:v, which paper-makers have notieed. seems to be due to some peeu liarity of the bleaching process. In otic c.ise jO pounds of deposit was collreied. and this yielded 7?.o4 per cent of the substance resembling bees wax. Kxp'riments huve been made to de termine whether argon exists in nitro p'lue.vs vegetables or animal tissues, but ii evidence. of its presence in peas or in mice could be obtained. In a recent lecture reviewing his in-ve.-ii-ation of atmospheric electricity letWi 'ti 1(12 and 18G8, Lord Kelvin slate I that some very peculiar pheno men.-, were dLeoveied. It proved more diftieult to diselectrify the atmos phere than to electrify it. The air be comes elect rilied when electricity is de posited i a it, the electric force being continually varying, and sudden dianes-in electrification are explain ed by the motion of masses of differ ently electrilied air. A peculiar phe nomenon jthat wherever a waterfall strikt s against a rock the air is nega tively elect ri tied. The pattering of the drops does this. By shaking wa ter in a bottle it is possible to gener ate electricity, a somewhat strong so lution of salt causing a positive elec trifieation. As two-thirds of the earth s surface is ocean, the spray of storms must give positive electrifica tion, and it is quite possible that storms at sea may explain the constant average of the positive electricity of th lir. A cellulose paint is recommended by a French writer for the. protection of steel ships and all exposed metal Mirfaces. He would use a ten per cent solution ol ordinary wood pulp, col ored as desired, with the addition, at th e time of using, of some siccative. "eh :'. an acid salt of lead or of man- gam adti. e. This paint is said to be more esive than nil ' nnints. rind it tiual'v bei'omes insoluble and absolutely in altira'oie.

Some of the plates Usevi record the tracings of inure than COO stars. On a photograph taken last September with an ex'po ur of vj.'o minutes, the arc3 of the path of the stars have a length of . . d e - rees , a nd t h e d i ff eren tl pa t h s closely join to give a series of broken circles around a centre which repre sents a point towards which the tartlfsaxis is pointed. Experiments bv M. Auguste Strind- er are said to indicate that sulphur. instead of being an elementary ul stance, is really a fossil rein or bitu men, and a compound of eartHm. oxy gen and hydrogen. An artificial hand that will not -ive a chill to the person shaking it one that is warm and pulsating is an in vention claimed by aXew York man. When exhibited, the hand was cov ered with a kill glove, and under neath the' '-.'low. according to the Electrical lUcutr, there was felt a gentle throbbing motion which seem ed to be communicated to the living hand, while an equally gentle and pleasant warmth was plainly percepti ble. It seemed hard indeed to realize that the hand was not one of liv ing tlchh and blood. The apparatus i said to be very simple, a small dry batterv supplying one electrical cur rent which gently heats minute ashes tos tube or '-veins1 in the lingers, while another current sets iu motion a number of small diaphragms in the palm, thut giving the throbbing mo tion to the baud. A disease known as aphthous fever, identical with the foot and-mouth disease of cattle, has been constantlv 'present among- villagers near Berlin since 1891, and the epidemic has this year reached the city itself. The first symptoms are giddiness, shivering, and inclination to vomit; at a later stage the tongue and gums swell, the teeth become loosened, and little blis ters appear 011 tle tongue, the lips, and the legs. In some cases serious ulcers are formed, but lew deaths oc cur. A bacillus found in the liver ami kidneys is ludieved to be the causes, inoculations with cultures of this or ganism have produced the typical foot-aud-inouth disease iu cattle. The disease is transmitted by milk.

Some lamps which have .very thick filaments, giving a very brill iant iiht, have a temperature 40 de grees higher. From a study of the records of earthquake-registering apparatus, M. de Montessus de Ballore finds that the total number of shocks actually oc curring in a. group of well-studied earthquake districts must be estimated at 10,Ud7 a year. The average for tin's area alone being therefore a shock every half hour, the old declaration that no day passes without a shock being felt on earth proves no exag geration. Thorough investigation in India has finally proven that strychnine is not an antidote against snake poison. How's This.

A Theory That Inanity l a Form of DIood rolsonins. It Is already beginning to Ixj asked whether the delirium of insanity is not due, as that of typhoid fever, to blood poisoning, to a ccrcLral intoxication by In fectious products or by the waste of In sufficient or vitiated afsimiliation. It Is certain that poteens actin a very power ful manner on the nervous system. Lead, mercury and alcohol often produce paraly sis among painters, gilders and those en gaged in the manufacture of aloohoL Poi son produced by the microbe of diphtheria often causes paralysis, as tlo the poisons secreted by other bacilli. So the more eminent spscialists study nervous and mental maladies the more they approach the conclusions of Pasteur1 that these dis eases have some connection with infectious microbes and the more also they apply to their specialty the ingenious ideas of M. Bouchard on the troubles caused by a bad digestion of alimentary products. The nervous system is inclosed in a bony case composed of the bones of the bead and tho vertebra;. The encephalos is contained in the cranial cavity; the spinal marrow in the spinal canaL The marrow and the brain do not completely fill these cavities, and the Interstices are filled with a liquid which prevents shocks and compressions. From the marrow and the brain tho sensi tive and motor nerves start, which carry sensations to tho two central organs and take back the movements. A sensation brought to the brain by a sensitive nerve generally provokes a mo tion, a contraction. In such cases the brain is a center, In which the impression is transformed into action, but very often the impression is not followed by any ac tion. The nervous system then becomes a central storehouso for impressions. M. Brissaud very aptly compares the brain to a photographic plate which retains tho imago and only yields it under the influ ence of a developing body. The brain, par ticularly in infancy, stores up numerous sensations, which later cause actions. The cerebral center retains these images that Is, these lasting remembrances of outwan1 excitements. Tho gray substance which forms the outside covering of the brain Is a sensitivo plate, on which images of the outer world are impressed. Tho nerves conduct the electric, heat, light and sound waves to his cerebral cov ering, where they are impressed as on the cylinder of a phouograph. The impression is moro or less exact according to tho ture cf the cerebral instrument. It is moro or less profound according to the brcadt' of the number or vibrations of tho waves. Tho impression thus formed becomes a rec ollection. It tends to become effaced wit! ago. It submits to alterations according to modifications of tho impressed surface Theso images may remain unused in the brain for a long time, as the photographic plates in their box. Tho idea of an objc is thus always the recollection of an ob ject. The association of ideas often causes an association of movements, called automat ic. A littlo girl, for instance, learns to knit. At first she is very awkward, but gradually she progresses, and the work al most does itself, until finally she walks talks end learns her lessons whilo knit ting. Th3 different automatic centers oc cupy localized regions in the brain. The most celebrated is the center of language, localized about 1825 by Bouillaud in tho front lobe of tho brain. When any injury whatever, rupture of a blood vessel, sof tening of the brain tissue, etc., attacks this lobe, the faculty of language disappears, and the patient is stricken with aphasia. There are several aspects of this disease. Sometimes the patient cannot speak, but is ablo to express his thought in writing. This is aphasia of articulation. Others are able to speak, but cannot even write their own names. This is graphic aphasia. Others, though not nt all deaf, have no idea that the namo they hear pronounced is their own name, although they may be able to speak it, read it or write it. This is auditive aphasia. Others, finally, with out being blii.d, have lost tho faculty of reading, although they can still write. This is visual aphasia. Right handed aphasics, unable to speak, have suffered son.o injury of the third left frontal cir cumvolution, and left handed ones of the corresponding right one. Those who can not write have some injury to the second frontal circumvolution. Those who have lost the faculty of hearing have a wound in the first left frontal circumvolution, and these who cimnct see writing one of the second parietal left circumvolution. Charcot has said, aud M. Brissaud re peats: In studying cerebral affections the nature of the injury is almost a matter cf indiHerenec. The localization is every thing." Oce may become aphasic in con sequence of an attack ot apoplexy, a blow or shock, which causes an abscess of the brain, or a cancer, which presses on that organ. It can even bo produced by tuber culosis. Alas, that the brain should lie so delicate an organ! Dr. G. Daren ber,? in Paris Journal des Bcbats. New York's Tate In Silk. A prominent silk manufacturer.
