The talking siren of Dr. Marage of Paris, designed to measure the hearing, has a series of molds or monthpieces, each of which gives the sound of one of the vowels when a current of air is forced through it, the intensity of the sound varying with the air pressure. A sensitive manometer gages the pressure and indicates the condition of the car. A pressure of one milli meter gives a sound that cau bo porns ived by normal hearing, and other pressures slow different stages of deafness, a patient who bears only whoa 200 millimeters is reached requiring abar trumpet. The acoustiu senen is stated at 140 for 40 millimeters of pressurs, 1/60 for 60. millimeters, and so on, this seals furnishing & very accurate indication of the hearing power.

Various methods of making sound proof building bricks or plates are noticed by German authoritive. The chief constituent is calcined gypsum, and it appears that in the simplest process the mass is filled with fine pores by adding a small proportion of such substances as the bicarbonates of the alkalies, the chemical action thus set up causing a slow sud steady evolution of carbonic acid gas as the gypsum sole and hardens, Though the plates become somewhat lighter, their strength is retained. The porous texture makes the material a good non-conductor of sound, thero is no loss of durability, and, the plates can be fastened by nailing. The sound deadening effect can be increased by adding sawdust, coko-dust or asbes The pulp-such as a mixture by weight of 20 parts of sawd ast, 40 of gypsna, 40 of wator and 1 of sodium bicarbonate-is poured into moulds, and own by left to hardon without further attention.

One charge runs the locamo- tive on its ordinery intermittent work about 6 hours, the maximum pressure of steam being 180 pounds, whilo 5 to 7 pounds will returm the engin to the generating station. About 53 pounds of steam per horee-power hour is the ordinary consumption. One of the machines exhibited last year at Milan weighed 17,6 tons
