(I7) Only via the Western and Atlantic railroad can you go to Elizabeth, “the marble city of Georgia.” where there is the most wonderful marble cutting machinery in the world. Tourists will miss it if they do not stop at Ma rietta and go up to Elizabeth, only two miles distant, immediately at the foot of the famous Kennesaw Moun tain. THE KENNESAW GAZETTE. Scientific. The British experiments to test ths relative merits of oil, gas and electricity for lighthouse illumination have re« suited in demonstrating the superiority of electricity over all other lights, even, as has been generally doubted, in densa fogs. Herr Fletmann, of Iserlohn, has shown that pure nickel and its alloys with copper, cobalt and iron can have other metals added without losing the property of being welded, and, there fore, can still be used for making plate. The metals which can be added, in this way are zinc, tin, lead, cadmium, iron and manganese up to as much as ten per cent. A plan for rendering paper as tough as wood or leather has been recently in troduced on the Continent; it consists in mixing chloride of zinc with the pulp in the course of manufacture. It has been found that the greater the degree of concentration of the zinc solution, the greater will be the toughness of the paper. It can be used for making boxes and for roofing. Prof. Helden recommends superphos phate gypsum as a new material for absorbing ammonia in stables. It is a residue from the manufacture of phos phoric acid, and contains four to five per cent, soluble and one to two per cent, insoluble phosphoric acid. It re tains ammonia much better than kyan ite, a double sulphate of potassium and magnesium, which is sometimes em ployed for the same purposes in stables. It is sometimes said that the tern? horse power is incorrect, because it does not express the actual power of an aver age, or even an exceptional horse. This really makes no difference. The animal should be entirely eliminated from the mind, and the term taken at its exact meaning, viz., the raising of 83,000 pounds one foot high in one min ute of time. A horse would fall far short of doing this for ten hours a day; a steam engine will do it for twenty four hours. Th® assertion that all bituminous coals contain iron pyrites, says Dr. W. H. Wahl, secretary of the Franklin In stitute, is correct, but it has been amply demonstrated that some of the most pronounced self-inflaming coals are those which contain so little sulphur that its presence could be safely ignored even in a chemical analysis, and further, that while the presence of pyrites may and doubtless dees contribute to the tendency of bituminous coals to spon taneous ignition, those varieties which contain the largest percentage of this impurity are not those which are most liable to spontaneous ignition, and that this phenomenon is due principally, if not exclusively, to the oxidation of the organic substance of the coal. The Franklin Institute recently made a competitive test of dyamo-electric ma chines, but the contest finally narrowed down to one between the Fdison and the Weston machines, in which the latter showed a small percentage of superiority. These two machines are the ones principally in use in this country, and except under the test of five hours of heavy loads did not vary much. Under the long test, however, the Edison machine did not so nearly meet requirements as did its competitor. Several experts already declare that the tests are not infallible, and this is prob ably true, but to the Franklin Institute is due much credit for an impartial test which has proven both machines capable of anything required of them in ordin ary electric lighting. Dr. Lanedell, the English missionary, in a single year distributed no less than 56,000 Bibles among the exiles in Siberia. A trade in gophers is springing np in New York. They aft bought by the Chinese, who consider them a great delicacy. - People blew their noses au naturd in England until the time of Edward IV.». when pocket handkerchiefs were in vented. It is said that birthmarks may be re- . moved by the use of a sunglass. Tt must be employed judiciously, so SS not to blister the skin. The Caucasian petroleum, which ex cels all others in illuminating power, is said to be greatly inferior as a lubricant to the American oils. A Denver newspaper describes the finding in Middle Park, at the depth of 30 feet, the agatized timbers of a ship of unknown length, “evidently moved by sails.” Mate, a Paraguayan tea, is a very popular drink in South America, whish t has never been introduced into the United States. .It is said to be very stimulating. Some Japanese military officers have invented hemp boats, each of which is capable of carrying eight men, and can be folded up for transportation so as to occupy very little space. The ground under clumps of china berry trees in the vicinity of Tampa, Florida, is covered with intoxicated birds almost every day, they having become tipsy through eating too many berries. It is estimated that the United States produces enough lumber each year to load 1,438,581 railroad cars, each train averaging 7,000 feet. This would make a train 8,500 miles long, or about one third around the globe. There appears to be an agreement among medical writers that water is fattening or at least favors a fullness and roundness of the body. It should be drunk at its natural temperature and in considerable quantity. A Brazilian physician, Dr. Ramos, states that refrigeration of the lobe of the ear will stop hiccough, whatever its cause may be. Very slight refrigera,- tion, he asserts, will answer, the ap plication of cold water or even saliva being sufficient. Mustard plants used to be the terror and disgust of the California wheat grower. Now they are a source of profit. By an ingenious mechanical harvesting both crops are gathered, separate, and the mustard is worth more than the wheat on the same land. Prince Bismavck wears constantly the insignia of the Papal Order of Christ, of which, like the Emperor Napoleon, he is an honorary member. The origi nal jewel is very costly, worth, it is said, $50.000. But it is stated that the one the Prince wears in public is pinch beck. It is suggested that th® Patagonians’ may have lost as much as two inches' in stature since the adoption of constant horseback riding, a little over two centuries ago. They were formerly re puted giants, and their bodies are still huge, while their lege are dispropor tionately short Ad slender. Nature offers very little encourage ment in California. A wide river in Colusa County was recently bridged by a one-hundred - and-seventy - five-thou- Band-dollar span, which was no sooner completed than the stream split in the centre, and new flows at either end of the structure, whieh extends over an island in the middle es the water. 11
