There Is a star—Mardela—so far
removed from the earth that If the
distance to the sun is represented as
being one inch, the distance to this
etar would be 32 miles.
The quantity of sulphuric acid in
mine water varies according to the
district and condition of the mine.
Some mine water has been found to
contain only a few grains, while the
water in other workings ogten con¬
tains over 100 grains a gallon.
Aluminum is now compounded with
magnesium to form magnalium, a new
alloy, which is almost unaffected by
damp air, water, gaseous ammonia,
carbonic acid and most organic acids.
It can be cast in the liquid condition,
like pure aluminum, and the castings
can be machined, acquiring a smooth,
mirror-like surface.
The tantalum lamp is very desirable
from the fact that it. is of high effi¬
ciency, but it is not adapted for many
of the fixtures at present in use, for
the reason that it must haug verti¬
cally, whereas more often than not,
the lamps in the existing fixtures hang
at an angle. An adapter has been re¬
cently invented by which this discrep¬
ancy is overcome.
A German inventor has just discov¬
ered in the metal wolfram a much su¬
perior filament to that of carbon, used
in the type of electric incandescent
lamp now in vogue. He claims that the
light obtained from the wolfram fila¬
ment is three or four times as bril¬
liant as that given by the ordinary
carbon filament with the same con¬
sumption of electricity. What is equal¬
ly important, the life of the new lamp
exceeds that of the old one by many
hundreds of hours. The development
of this latest discovery seems likely
to have a wide influence on the elec¬
tric lighting world.
Recent reports indicate that the use
of sodium peroxide for producing fu¬
sion of substances in a closed cham¬
ber presents great advantages over
former methods of analysis. Ores or
galena, chrome iron and manganese
are completely desomposed when
mixed with sodium peroxide and me¬
tallic sulphids and ignited in a nick¬
el crucible. In analysis of plants Yi’
ashing, loss of sulphur and other e>>
ments through volatilization is pre¬
vented by the peroxide method. It is
especially useful in the analysis of
sulphur in pyrites, and in rubber, and
of sulphur and arsenic in organic
compounds.
Lightning Strokes.
Fire insurance men estimate that 40
percent of barn fires are due to light¬
ning, 10 to 15 percent to carelessenss,
8 to 12 percent to overheated flue, the
balance to other causes, including in¬
cendiarism. According to the report
of the weather bureau of the Depart¬
ment of Agriculture for 1900. the to¬
tal number of strokes of lightning
in 1899 which caused damage was
5527, the number of buildings injured
6256, value of property lost $3,016,520,
number of deaths by lightning 563,
number of persons injured 820, num¬
ber of live stock killed in the field
4251.
Tall chimneys emitting smoke that
carries moisture with it are more of¬
ten struck than other objects, barns
containing hay that gives off moisture
by evaporation, and porous tree barks
are frequently struck. For the same
reason icehouses are more attractive
to lightning than other storehouses.

Worn Men’s Clothes for 37 Years.

The
General Demand
of the Well-Informed of the World has
always been for , a s.mple, . . pleasant , t and .
efficient liquid laxative remedy of known
value; a laxative which physicians could
sanction for family use because its com¬
ponent parts are known to them to be
wholesome and truly beneficial in effect,
acceptable to the system and gentle, yet
prompt, in action.
In supplying that demand with its ex¬
cellent combination of Syrup of Figs anti
Elixir of Senna, the California Fig Syrup
Co. proceeds along ethical lines and relies
on the merits of the laxative for its remark
able success.
