SCIENTIFIC SCRAPS.
Some scientists now hold that above
the altitude of 12,000 feet from the
sea level the temperature decreases
abont one decree for every rise of 350
feet.
If, after eating pare food, fresh out
door air is breathed, the blood will show
a large increase in red corpuscles, but
by drinking stimulants, the red disks
are decreased in serious proportions.
Captain Parry speaks of the great
distance that sounds cau be heard
during intense cold. “We often,” he
says, “in the Arctic regions heard peo
ple converse in a common voice at the
distance of a mile.”
Bourrier, after a series of experi
ments, has come to the conclusion
that fresh meat in a room tilled with
smoke of tobacco absorbs nicotine
readily, and may under circumstances
become so tainted as to lead to diges
tive disorders.
The temperature of the sun’s sur
face has been measured and determined
to be between 12,000 degrees and 20,-
000 degrees. The most accurate de
terminations of the sun’s temperature,
made by Wilson and Gray, in Ireland,
place it as 14,000 degrees Fahrenheit.
A celebrated family of lion tamers
are reported to use electricity. A live
wire is stretched across the cage and
serves as an impassable yet invisible
barrier which protects the performer.
It is said that one touch of the wire
gives a lasting lesteou to the fiercest
lion.
Foreign orders for aluminium are
constantly being received by the Pitts
burg Keductiou company of Pittsburg,
with works at New Kensington, Pa.,
and Niagara Falls, N. Y. Shipments
have recently been made to Japan, Ger
many, Italy, Austria, Sweden, and
other foreign countries.
Greenwich observatory claims that
it has little clear weather, sun and
atars are wholly invisible every other
day in w inter, one day in four in fall,
one in eight in spring and one in six
teen in summer. In the twenty years
ending with 189(1, there were only
eight instances of sunlight for four
teen continuous hours.
Carbolic acid has been effectively
used for tempering steel tools by M.
Levat, a French engineer. Two cast-
ateel gravers of fine quality were
heated to a cherry red, and one was
dipped into water and the other into a
solution of commercial carbolic acid.
They were then tried on chiselled iron
and on extra hard white cast iron.
The water-tempered graver, was
notched in several places, while the
other resisted perfectly.
Hodgkins' Disease.
Hodgkins’ disease, which caused
the death of a Yale student, is a curi
ous but, fortunately, a comparatively
rare affection. It is characterized by
the appearance of glandular tumors,
first appearing in the neck and arm-
pits and extending in groups through
out other portions of the body. Young
adults are the most frequent subjects.
The malady is always associated with
impoverishment of the blood and the
relative increase of its white cells, also
with marked enlargement of the
spleen and changes in the bone mar
row, and generally ends fatally within
two years after the first appearance of
cymptoms. The swellings, which are
at first isolated, vary from the size of
a bean to that of a hen’s egg, and
finally multiply and coalesce, forming
an almost continuous chain of growths,
those encircling the neck being often
larger in circumference than the head.
The early removal of the primary
enlargement is sometimes beneficial,
and occasionally curative, but as a
rule the fundamental error of nutri
tion, which is at the iwttom of all the
trouble, is scarcely possible of correc
tion by internal remedies. The pre
disposing causes of the disease are not
hereditary in character. In a fair
proportion of cases the initiatory
swelling of the glands is caused by
some comparatively trivial ailment,
such as an ulcerated tooth, an inflamed
throat or a “running” ear. Life is
terminated by exhaustion. Some
times, however, death results from
suffocation, or from starvation in con
sequence of obstructive growths in
the throat.—New York Herald.
America’s Greatest T ’'
The following Is a characteristic Hood’s
barsaparilla testimonial. Facts like these
nave made Hood’s Sarsaparilla America’s
Greatest Medicine and endeared it to thou
sands of homes scattered all
broad land.
over
m? like to tell what Hood’s Sarsapa
rilla has done for us. Our four ehiidren
had diphtheria. From the very first our
little boy Kalpb, then seven years old, was
very sick and ir several days It seamed as
if he would never be any better. After a
while he began to improve and in a few
this weeks was able to go out, although weak
and miserable. Then, gradually
All Strength in His Limbs
gave out. The physicians told us it was
paralysis, which sometimes follows an at
tack of diphtheria. We did everything
for him, but he grew worse until he was In
a pitiful condition. He suffered terribly
at night and complained continually of
his head, and in what little sleep he was
able to get, moaned unceasingly. He lost
all control of the muscles of his body and
limbs. He had no appetite and complained
of feeling sick at his stomach all the time.
After we had tried many different reme
dies and had about given up all hope we
commenced giving him Hood's Sarsa
parilla. In a short time he ceased to com
plain, his appetite improved and at the
end of three months he was able to attend
school part of the time. Now he is well
and quite a strong and rugged boy. You
are at liberty to use this testimonial if you
desire, as we feel we cannot say too much
in praise of Hood’s Sarsaparilla as a blood
purifier and building up medicine." Mas.
K. E. Akdkbsox, Cumberland, Maine.
Economy is also a characteristic of
Hood’s Sarsaparilla. F.very bottle con
tains 100 Doses, and hence there Is a

USE OF THE SAND BLAST.
London’* Expenaive Fogs.
Fogs are costly inflictions. Figures
,ken from an oflicial source show that
te excess in the day’s gas bill would
ipresent the supply of a town with
),000 to 20,000 inhabitants for a
hole year. The total consumption
a one foggy day was 150,000,000
ubic feet, the excess in the output by
ie Gas Light and Coke company
lone being 35,000,000 cubic feet. The
)tal cost of the gas consumed was
120,000, of which $40,000 was due
d the fog. In addition there must be
dded the cost of electricity and oil,
nd the loss of business by stoppage
f traffic and lack of custom is a seri
ns matter for the west end shop-
eepers. That there is other loss than
he mere worldly one is demonstrated
iv a spiritualist, who gives a striking
estimony that Loudon fog interferes
erribly with the manifestations to
he faithful. The lady spiritualist re-
ates that after twenty years’ depriva-
ion mediumahip returned to her un-
onght immediately on her arrival at
lath from smoky London.
Itemove* Every Atom of liust from
Steel Structures.
Engineers have noticed with not a lit
tle concern that many recently erected
steel structures have shown unmistak
able signs of incipient decay, iu spite
of the adoption of every known pre
ventive measure. In this dilemma, the
sand blast has come to the rescue. A
steel viaduct In New York is being
cleaned of the accumulated dust so fa
tal to steel structures by a new process
wblch, It Is claimed, will preserve metal
from further corrosion for many years.
This method, known as the sand
blast process, consists in propelling
against the face of the steel a stream
of sand-laden air at high velocity.
These grains, impinging with great
force against the rust, break away all
the scale and oxide and render the
metal mechanically and chemically
clean.
The pitting caused by rust Is cleaned,
completely, the entire surface Is given
a uniform gray color, with satin frosted
finish, the appearance lielng that of
frosted nickel. The metal is extremely
sensitive after this treatment and ab
sorbs moisture and corrosive gas with
avidity. If allowed to stand a few
hours the color is quickly changed to
red, and the process of rusting is again
actively installed. To substitute for
this dangerous oxidation a preserva
tive coating of paint is the process up
on which the successful treatment of
the raotal depends. Following Imme
diately after the man who holds the
steel nozzle from which the sand and
air are forced under a 20-i>ound pres
sure. the painters get to work on the
portion cleaned. The new paint forms
a skin on the Iron which It Is impossi
ble to scrape away without cutting the
metal itself. Eight tons of sand are
used every week In the work, and it
will take about seven weeks to clean
the entire 51,000 square feet contracted
for.
Famous P.'.rrets at Washington.
Chief Justice Fuller has a Mexlcar
parrot of which he is very fond, and
of whose acquirements he is exceed
ingly proud. Its latest accomplish
ment is to call the Chief Justice
"Grandpa.” The title was not so
pleasing to him at first, but since his
last married daughter, Mrs. Beecher,
has presented the family with two
grandchildren in two years he Is per
fectly resigned to the inevitable title
even from a parrot’s lips. There are
several distinguished friends of the
Chief Justice who talk parrot with
him, and swap bright sayings of their
pets. For one, the British Ambassa
dor has an exceedingly talkative and
well informed bird. H16 name is Ja
cob, and he has been a pet in the fami
ly for thirteen years. Not long ago
Jacob was blown from the window
of the dining-room of the embassy,
and was picked up in the street by
a boy—a good boy as it happened—
and consequently was restored after
about a week, in which the family
nearly went distracted.
The good boy was rewarded with
the finest atlas that Sir Julian could
find, with his name in it as a reward
of merit, and the good boy is tho
envy of all his schoolmates.
The wife of the Mexican Minister,
Mme. Romero, has a parrot, who is
a fine linguist. He speaks Spanish
and French, and occasionally English.
He Is a beautiful Mexican bird, and is
quite the idol of the family. Miss Mit
chell, cousin of Mrs. Stanley Matthews,
has a parrot of rare attainments, who
talks and sings. Judge Advocate Gen
eral Lieber also has a well-trained
uarrot. _
