SCIENTIFIC MISCELLANY.
AFLUCE TEXTILE.
Lacking cotton and silk, the Germans have been zeeking some textile substituto, and a Berlin establishment claims to have produced a usafal material from spruce fibres. When woven, sylvalin, as this yarn. is called, is said to be 12 to 30 times as strong na jute. It has a fine finish, is odourless, is not attacked by mothe, and seems to be usable with other fibres Wall tapestry made from it is so smooth that dust does not cling to it, while it does not roughen on brushing. It has been also tried for mate, which can hardly be distinguished from those of rushes, but, unlike rushes, sylvalia yarn is woven in the loom instead of by hand. Various kinds of decorative and other cord have been successfully made from the new material-used both alone and in combina- tion with other fibres.
LIVING THOUGH HEADLESS
To the butterfly, unlike most creatures, the bead seems to be not indispensable. Reporting some experiments to the French Academy of Sciences, Prof. Vianney, of the Lyons University, statos that a number of insect larvae were carefully beheaded, and that in spite of this they weat through the usual stages of metamor- phosis. Caterpillars of the genus Bombyx became mature butterflies,, with fine- coloured streaked wings. They were little troubled by their headless condition, and lived for a considerable time.
THE DIVINING. ROD MYSTERY,
A centuries old instrument whose place is pot yet settled is the divining rod. Scientiɓc men have not been inclined to accept it, but the many cases of apparent success in finding water with a forked twig have held a large number of believers. A new idea has been evolved from recent German work in radioactivity. The gamma radiation proves to diminish over water, even small streams, and it is suggested that this may influence sensitive diviners. The hint has brought out several new pieces of water-finding apparatus, which, however, are yet to be satisfactorily tested.
NEW MATCH-STICKS.
The artificial-wood process lately shown in London by Louis Carré uses straw or dried grass as raw material, and is claim- ed, to produce match sticks at a material Baving. The straw is arst flattened be- tween a pair of crushing-rolls. It is then passed between two cutting cylinders, which have deeply serrated surfaces so placed together that the raised ring of one fits-into-the-groove-of the other, and theseTM cutters divide the flattened straw into strips. A little adhesive being applied, these strips are fed to a continuous band between two layers of paper. The paper- covered straw is next compressed between a pair of rolls, and is then passed slowly between two endless moulding chains, which are sufficiently heated to harden the agglutinating material. The layer of round aplints produced is cut into suitable length for matches before dipping into the ignit ing mixture.
THE TRACK OF LIGHTNING,
The marks left by lightning on a boy of eighteen ware described at a recent inquest at Battersea, Eng. The medical attendant stated that the electric current. seemed to have entered at the right side. of the back of the head, cut a long, deep gash around the right side of the neck, and then to hare taken a zigzag course down and across the cheat, passing down the right leg and out at the great toe. A bullet-like, jagged hole marked the point of emergence, while the toe was turned perfectly black. The cranium was lacer ated, a burn on the throat showed where the collar stud had been, and tree-like impressions were left on the thighs. Death resulted from shock. The buckles of the boy's braces were near the path taken, and were made slightly magaɛtic.
TUBULAR SPRINGS, Tubular coiled springs have been made by a French engineer, Franes Ernoult. and have given quite astonishing results. A Paris laboratory tested two steel springs of exactly the same appearance one of salid wire, and the other of tubing with a wall a twenty-fifth of an inch thick. A pull of 640 pounds stretched the tubular spring nearly 3 inches, the solid spring yielding less than 1 inches, and the per- manent deformation of the tubular spring was only 1-25 inch, while a stretch of inches left the solid spring permanently lengthened inch.. Besides being more flexible, the tubular spring is much stronger for like weight.
...AN OIL ELECTRIC ROAD TRAIN,
The experimental transport train of the. German army, the Muller road train, hus a locomotive carrying at each end a petrol motor of 90 horse-power, with a central cab containing continuous current genera- tors feeding electric motors geared to every axle on the train. The electric motors are mounted on two-wheeled bogies, of which two are placed under the locomotive and cach vehicle. The driving is by differential gearing and side chains. and the coupling-rod connection makes- each vehicle self-steering in the path of the locomotive. Each vehicle has a cou- troller, so that it can be moved in- dependently, for making up the train, by
THE BLOOD is the LIFE of the FLESH
Dr. Morse's
Indian Root Pills-What they are and what they do. Their Four Principal Ingredients.
It is an established fact that all diseases spring from one source, namely: Impurity of the Blood, Therefore our strength, health, and life depend upon the vital fluid. When the various passages become clogged, and do not act in perfect harmony with the different functions of the body, the blood loses its action, becomes thick, corrupted, and diseased, thus causing pains, sickness, and distress of every name; our strength is exhausted; and if Nature is not assisted in throwing off the stagnant humours, the blood will become choked and cease to act, and thus our light of life will be extinguished. How important, then, that we should keep the various passages of the body free and open, and if assistance is necessary to have at hand that invaluable remedy, Dr. MORSE'S INDIAN ROOT PILLS, manufactured from plants and roots which grow around the mountain cliffs in "Natürc's garden, for the health and recovery of diseased man.
One of the roots from which these Pills are made is a SUDORIFIC, which opens the pores of the skin, and assists Nature in throwing out the finer parts of the corruption within.
The second is a plant which is an EXPECTORANT that opens and unclogs the passage to the lungs, and thus in a soothing manner performs its duty by throwing off the phlegm and other humours from the lungs by copious spitting.
The third is a DIURETIC, which gives ease and double strength to the Kidneys; thus encouraged, they draw large amounts of impurity from the blood, which is thrown out bountifully by the urinary or water passages, and which could not have been discharged in any other way.
The fourth is a CATHARTIC, and accompanies the other properties of the Pills while engaged in purifying the blood, and the coarser particles of impurity which cannot pass by the other outlets are thus taken up and conveyed off in large quantities by the bowels.
From the foregoing it is shown that Dr. Morse's Indian Root Pills not only enter the stomach, but become united with the blood, for they find the way to every part, and completely root out and cleanse the system from all impurity, and the life of the body, which is the blood becomes perfectly healthy; consequently all sickness and pain are drivca from the system, for they cannot remain when the body becomes pure and clean.
DR. MORSH'S INDIAN ROOT PILLS are an efficient, reliable, and safe remedy placed on the market at a price within the reach of all. The Pills being sugar coated, are pleasant to take, and retain their full medicinal properties. They are packed in amber-coloured bottles-not in cheap wooden or pasteboard boxes and are thus always fresh and clean, impervious to moisture; unaffected by climatic conditions, and do not deteriorate by keeping as all liquid medicines de.

HEAT FROM MACHINERY.
The friction of moving machinery gen- erates a greater amount of heat than might be supposed. Investigating the condition of cotton mills, a committee of the British Home Secretary of State has found that in three weaving sheds, on a cloudy day, the temperature above that outside was 62 per cent. due to the machinery, 21 per cent. to the operators themselves, and 17 per cent. to the radia tion from steam-pipes. The effect of sun- shine was determined by a comparison of observations on both sunny and cloudy In a number of sheds the rise of days. temperature between 6 am and 5.30 p.m. was noted, and the results showed that _the_average_increase due to the sun wens.

À MUSEUM OF CAVES. Speleology, the science of caves, has developed within the last score of years, chiefly through the work of French ex plorers. An Austrian project for its advancement is an international Museum of Speleology, which is to be established at Adelsburg, near the Adelsburg Grotto, the largest European cavern, with 5 milee of passages. The collection is to include all kinds of objects relating to under- ground botany, zoology, paleontology, and anthropology, as well as to geo- physics, ground water, etc...
