After short compression, the material is taken oat and dried in the open air. Those artificial boards
are claimed to be as hard and strong as the best nat ural wood, they are not hydroscopio, áre fungus proof, and are slow-burning. They can be worked, polished and painted like natural wood. The peat wood is recommended as adopted for a great variety of purposes, such as flooring, doors, fireproof stairs, ceilings, cabinet work, side- walks, roof coverings, strest and factory pave ments, decorations, furniture, ship-building.

Heat sufficient to destroy bite, generated by the normal function of respiration, has been the surprising discovery of Prof. Hans Molisch, of Prague Freshly cat leaves were insulated in wood, wool and cleth, with a thermometer protend jog, and in 9 hours they had become heated from 22 degrees to 44 degrees C., and within 15 hours to 51.5 degrees C. (125 degrees F. to the next 37 hours the temporature fell to 34 degrees C., then rose to 47 degrees C., thou finally, a tast at 43 degrees C. showed the leaves to be still alive. The brat rise in temperature could be explained only as a result of respiration of the leaves, and the second rise was due to the rapid development of bacteria, which were few until after the first maximnas had been passed. By enclosing one end of a tube of ether in a mass of insulated leaves; the effects of a vage table furnace were shown.

The utilizing of the solid matter of sewage by the method of Dr. Grossman is being tested in the north of England, and is claimed to have proven hygienic, effective and economical, the. products more than paying the expense. The coarsest suspended matter being removed, the swaga is stored a few weeks in settling tanks, The clear liquid is then run off, and more water is removed by pressure from the sludge, which is then mixed with chemicals and distilled with superheated steam. The grease in the steam- passing over from the retort is collected on the surface of cool water. This grease, derived. from the large amount of soap that finds its way into the sowers, forms about five per cent. of the residuum, and is sold at about $35 per ton. The black odourless, powder, rich in nitrogen, that remains in the retort amounts to 700 to 80 pounds for each ton of pressed sludge. This is'in demand as a fertilizer, and in sold readily at about $1.50 per ton.. A flow of 3,000,000 gallons of raw sewage per day yields about 2) tons pressed sludge, which is vsted at an average vel profit of 50 cents per vou.

That much of Europe will become, an aridania or desert in a few centuries, unless steps are taken
* fto prevent it, was the prophecy tahle a year or
two ago by a distinguished French scientific man. It is well known in a vagua way that some parts of the earth are drier than formerly, but observations are lacking to show whether this has been a rìmult of merely focal condi- tions or is a locally advanced stage of a pro- cens going on over a wide area. Herr Wal- ser, a German, has been lately trying to get a more accurate idea of the desiccation from the records of bodies of water. He finds that hundreds of European Inkes have entirely disappeared, and in the canten of Zurich alone the 119 lakes of 1660 have become reduced to 76, while about half of thes, have boun diminished in size. German and Russian lakes also, as well as those of Western Alia, give evidences of a drying up of the land.
Renowed assurance of the durability of reinforced concrete is given by Rohland, a German engineer, who has found that gold. carbonates and sulphates in the coment, partly formed in the setting, dissolve the ironoxide from the iron bars; ate., saving the metal "bright. The hardened cament protects against
any further rusting.
A novel plan is being tied for preventing the rapid deterioration of lime and the injury to workmen by the dust in factories and other places ishure large quantities are stored or kept. Even under fair shelter lime becomes air slaked, and the how remedy consists in more securely protecting it in allos, similar to those med for wheat, which are herustically sealed and are filled from buckets opening at the bottom. There is neither dust nor stposure to the air, In a German establishment, a storeroom 140 feet long and 80 wide has been supplied with thirty silos-irring whotné expeity of 190łem.- The buckets hold 8 tona ench, and they are taken to the storeroom in special covered tracks Fire Insurance will be offected by me ATENT PLANTS and APPLI
