A new heavy liquid is described by Mr. B. T Penfield as a misture of nitrate of silver and thalliam. If these substances are in equal parts," the mixture mete at 75 deg. C, forming a clear mobils Eiquid of a density of 4.5, which mixes with water in all proportions. The liquid is made even hearing by increasing the thallian. The pure nitrate of thalliam has very nearly fire. point of times the density of water, but fusion is raised to 250 deg. C. The now liquid; with the comackable range of densities given by its weight and its realy dilution, will have a practical value to jewellers and mineralogists. It furnishes a ready means of separating light frms heavy minerals, and of determining the spacito gravity of solid substances...

The slow progrecs of eleotris traction in Great Britain is a matter not easily compre. herded in the United States. A recent English writor states that the total inileage of alectric rands in that country does not much expend forty; and that, while it was expected that the opening of the City and South Londen and the Taver pool Elevated Kallways would Levo a powerful Influence in favour of olectricity, it is doubtful if twelve miles of electris road tave been opened in the three years these lines have been working This seems to have boon chiefly due to the wide- sprazd opposition to overhand wires. As Eng list streets are not remarkable for beauty, the objection to the wires can hardly be on esthetic ground, but it probably results from a vague fear that the safety of the public might be endangeiod four much increased by garbled report of accidents in America. Accumulators, gleam and petroleum, have been tried on certain tramways, with no very oneouraging results. Aahanga of sentiront now Lepears to be in progress, as several new ulectric Finey aro early Bompleted, and the opening of the tram line at Bristol a few weeks ago mar by taken as the beginning of electric traction in England. The side trolley, originated on the South Stafford- chire lino and also used at Bristol, is said to hure met with, vory favourable reception, as it makes cross-wires unnecessary.
A paw industry that the Departinont of: Agrionlture is likely to recommend to the Southern States is the culture of the cork oak Of several young trees set out in Georgie about 35 years ago, theos or four are still living, and frem the largest now two feet or more in diameter-excellent bart 2 inches thick a been stripped. The soil of Californie is said to be expecially Cavourable to this species of oak. Alroady about 1,000 of the trees have heap planted in the San Gabriel valley, and the University of California has distributed some. bushels of the acorns. About $2,000,000 of cork is yearly imported info the United States, and the material has increased in vaine to elaton times its cost in 1790.
