a French experimsater. After careful search he has discovered a stone--called the domite of Auvergne-in which water rises by capillary attraction to a height of four inches. Placing two square sheets of this stone vertically in a basin of water, be suspends from them pieces of saltpetro-soaked fungus, and beneath this puts little wheel with blotting paper paddles, As the water passes from the stone to the fungus, the latter wots the blotting-paper on one side of the wheel, causing that side to fall. Evaporation the lightens the lower part of the wheel, while another portion is made heary by wetting retalion being thus set up, the rato varying with the state of the atmosphere.
by heat and liquefied by cold, the now substance known as "cryostas" has been regarded as quito unique, but B, Charles Tauret, a French chemist, has now discovered other substances behaving in the same way. One of these is a glucoside that he had a "vincetoxin." This exists-in a soluble and an insoluble variety, and a misture of the two is also soluble, the solution coagulating at a lower temperature that the other. A drop of a mixture coagulating at about 15 deg. C. becomes a gelatinous beal in the hand and liquefies on touching anything cold. The basic terebinthate of sine has the same property, as do also the "eondurangin s." which Vulpino has found in couluranga, and which are analogons to the vincetaxing if not practically identical with them.
