Abbey's Effer Salt

The disagreeable features of travelling can be overcome when you have a bottle of Abbey's Salt with you.

A change from the daily routine of living brings Head- aches, Biliousness and Con- stipation, which are so fre quently incidental to travelling

Abbey's Salt will almost instantly relieve you of these disturbers of pleasure by its soothing effect on the Stomach, Liver and Bowels.

A portable electric plaut for fixing rails and packing sleepers, the invention of A. Collet of Paris, is in use ou several French railways The apparatus runs on wheels adaptable for ordinary roads or railway tracks, and includes a 25 horse-power steam engine, which is coupled by a belt to the dynamo that generates electric current. Storm is supplied by a vertical tubular boiler fa capacity of only 15 gellons. Tao engine being in place, a copper circuit is carried along the permanent way three-fifths of a mile on folding ladders, and a enutinuous current of 220 volts is led to the track laying machines. With two wood-screw machines on a small truck, four men lay 19 yards of track in ten minutes, setting 200 screws, this being seven times the rate by hand. The sleeper-perking tool gives 400 strokes per minute, and enables six men to pack a sleeper in brokeu stone iu ons minute or iu sand in 35 seconds.

The luminosity of certain marine microbes of the Baltic has been proven by M. Tarchino, s Rasstan physiologist, to depend on respiration and oxygen absorption. Ou injecting a culture of the microbes into the blood of a number of frogs, the latter, supplying the uecessarý oxygen, were made luminous at night.

The carbonic acid of the atmosphere offers problems that A. Krogli, a Danish physicist, believes to be of great importance. Twice as much of this gas is found in the air of Greenland as in that of temperals regions, and the excess seems to come from the deep sea, where it is stored nuder pressure, but the ouuse of this storage and the exact place of origin are unknown. The proportion of carbenie acid a the air at Kow, has varied in a series of years from 2.13 to 3.60 parts in 19,000. It is greater in winter than in summer, at high pressure ihan when the barometer is low, and is con- stantly changing. It is believed that its fluctuations at certain par's of the year may have a decided bearing upon agriculture. Greater knowledge may not enable us to regulate the supply, vnt some day we may be able to forsiell the autumn crops simp'y from our knowledge of the proportion of carbonic acid during some month or fortnight,

The remarkable thermopile of Robert L. Mond and M. Wildoman, English electricians, is made in u novel way without fusing, sokler- ing or even heating the two metals or plates. A compound wire, strip or plate-onsisting of a core of one metal with a covering of another is drawn to the required thinness, and portions of the outer metal are dissolved away in acid, leaving the core bars. The alternate compound aud single sections of the wire are then wound in grooves in a circular rod of dorcelain or other insulating material. Though intended for measuring the intensity of light. this thermopile is claimed to be adapted for other uses such as for massuring high rem peratures, and for accumulatore on motor cycles.
