SCIENTIFIC MISCELLANY

DANISHING THE SMOKE.

At the recent Smoke Abatement Confer ence at Manchester, the general opinion was that the bituminous coal burned in domestic fires is the chief source of the smoke of Bri lish cities; and a remedy proposed is the supplying of gas at cost for domestic heating and cooking. The smoke abatement socle tles have brought about a great lessening of the smoke from factory chimneys. The results are seen in London, which had 29.9 foggy days per year in 1883-1891, but only

the hours of bright sunshine increased from

55 hours per two months in the first period to 93 hours per two months in the second period. Through the efforts of the London society, 913 smoky factory chimneys had been made smokeless. To generate steam economically and smokelessly, it is necessary to supply just enough air of proper tempera ture to the fuel to convert every particle of carbon and hydrocarbon into carbon dioxide and water vapour, and James Bibby showed that the problem of smokeless combustion consists in bringing together the conditions of smokelessness and economy. To consume one pound of coal completely requires. 117 pounds. of air. Burning carbon with the theoretical amount of air gives a temperature of 4,800deg, F. and 22 per cent. of carbon dioxide; but the difficulty of regulation usual- ly causes the admission of at least twice the necessary air, reducing the temperature to 3.goodeg, and three times the required air lowers the temperature to 2,500degani enormous loss..

THE PROBLEM OF EUGENICS.

To produce a nation of geniuses has been found to be undesirable as well as impossible, and the hope of eugenics for an improved human race rests in the ordinary individual, sound and well developed in mind and body.

The vicious and criminal type of degenerate, World-wide reputation. so obviously unfit, unfortunately multiplies

at an alarming rate. The decrease in the families of the sound and well-to-do, on the other hand, is a much deplored tendency of the age; but the families of genius, which are of unbalanced and defective development, die out within a generation or two. Dr. Robert Jones, lecturer on mental diseases at St. Bartholomew's Hospital in London, has lately shown how general is the so-called. neurotic temperament among persons of genius. Considering the individuals of great eminence in literature, it appears that they have tended to be dwarfed, imperfectly formed, of unsound habits, eccentric, irrit able, ailing in various ways, epileptic, short- lived, and have had ancestors of mental instability and insanity. Of the personal

and family history of Shakespeare, the greatest genius among poets, little is known. But Shelley, Lamb, Wordsworth, Coleridge, Southey, Sheridan, Cowper. Pope, Byron and even Scott had marked inherited weak- nesses and neurotic or insane ancestors; and the same is true of musicians of great distinc tion. So, while the occasional genius may give diversion, science must look to the alt- round soundness and ability of the common man for the future's best,"

AN AGREEABLE DRESSING FOR WOUNDS. The new antiseptic dressing for wounds devised by Dr. Championniere, the Paris physician, is a gauze treated with a mixture of the essential oils of bergamot, lavender, geranium and rosemary. This improved gauze-to which the name of "berlagero " has been given-is free from the usual offen- sive odours or irritating effects, and has the further advantage that it can be used without. renewal for a long time, so that wounds. can be left undisturbed several days. Wounds of all kinds are kept perfectly sterilized.

GRAPE-SEED OIL.
