Better control of high temperatures is in oreasing our list of useful materials, the latest addition specially brought to notice at the Iste conversazione of the London Royal Society -being pure iridium and rhodium and fasad silica. Hitherto rhodium and iridium bags been practically unworkable metale, but they have been so purified as to be quite malleable and have been made tato such apparatus basins, tubes and laske. Having a very high melting point and being almost unattacked by Beids, the metais promise to be of great velas for special purposes. Biled, which was first faced with great difficulty into crude tabes several years ago, is now melted into a risoid liquid, and by suitable means is converted into opparatua. ́as attractive in appearance as ordinary glass, while the cost has been greatly lessened. The abundance of the material and the extraordinary properties it possesses give un. danal interest to its products. Dishes of silica can be suddenly cooled from white heat with out risk of cracking. they soften only at -extremely high temperature, and-anlike vessels of ordinary glass- they ara gaita unattacked by water or acids.

The amusement sensation of the near future is to be a submarine botanical and zoological garden, with arrangements to enable ex cursionista to view its wonders. Pino, the Italian inventor whose diving boat experiments bagan in 1900, predicts that it will become as easy to visit depths of 10) yards in the eas as to

tske si automobiļa ride, and he foresees that. suck trips will be very popular. He fods an entire absence of any sense of being enbmerged, The common notion that sunlight does not penetrate 100 yards is incorrect, and there is aufficient light even ou cloudy days to show-the smallest objects or hav prist.

The necessity of a lamplighter for gas-lighted streets has been removed by Jonas'Hepburn, an English plumber, who applies an attachment so, adjusted that more regulħtion of the pressura et the gasworke either fights up the lamps automatically, or reduces the smos. to a small pilot light;

The property of certain substances known as triba Juminescence," which is an emission of light on breaking or crusing, seems to be very different from ordinary phosphorescence, and in an investigation, lately bogun, Adrian" Karl, a French chemist, has succeded in producing a class of bodies that, have this proports in tho bigbest degree bat do not show phosphorescence from exposure to light. On eru hing with » glass or metal rod or rabbing with amory the light is so strong as to be visible in daylight and may enable a person to read in the dark. The substances that are most luminess ant were prepared by strangly heating solid mixtures of sulphide of zine and one of various compounds, such as nitrits of manganezo, silicio and starnic.
