SCIENTIFIC MISCELLANY.

STEEL'S ORIGINAL HOME.

The art of cementation, by which iron is carburized and converted into steel on heating in charcoal powder, has been in- vestigated by Sir Robert Hadfield in an ancient chisel of Ceylon, 1,500 years old or more, and he confirms the claim of India to the discovery that has done more than Any other to advance civilization. Tosta seem to prove that the chisel was given a hard-steel cutting edge by cementation and quenching. The most complete collco- tion of iron and steel specimena from 1,200 to 1,800 years old is in the museum at Colombo, and the evidence found has led to the conclusion that steel-making was introduced into Ceylon from India at a very early date. The famous Pillar of Delhi is a most notable ancient specimen of iron. It is a mass of wrought iron welded into a solid shaft 23 feet 8 inches long and weighing about & tous-e credit- able piece of work of at least 10 centuries agu

A NEW PURE FOOD PROBLEM,

A new discovery suggests the possible need of inspecting farms supplying public marketa. Typhoid bacilli were carried up from the soil by growing plants, remaining alive on the leaves as much as 31 days, and still adhered to infected lettuce after three washings.

A BIONAL LIGHT FOR YESSELS.

The "rayograph" of S. H. Harring- ton, New York engineer, is a simple ap- paratus which produces a vertical beam of light a foot and a half wide and 1,600 feet high, and thus gires a constant glow above a ship's deck as a signal to other vessels. The machine gives also a horizontal ray, for use as a searchlight An electric current equivalent to three horse-power may supply the light, which is projected by suitable reflectors, and in

By suitable in- terruptors, or shades eclipsing the light, lashes may be made to spell out tele graphic messages. Simple directions make it easy for an inexperienced person to send such a message, and in a time of danger the "8.08." distress signal can be flashed by simply turning a lover as far as it will go.

CATERPILLAR POISON.

The human skin is pierced by hairs of larvae of the precessionary moth, cater- i

pillars that sometimes swarm over Europe in great numbers, and painful swelling, itching and great irritation re- sult. A Belgian investigator, C. Pottiez, has found that the effects are not merely mechanical but are dun to chemical pois-

oning. On soaking the hairs in ether they lost their irritant properties, but the unpleasant symptoms were caused by the substance dissolved out.

Tais sub-

stance, of which 0.28 per cent, was ex- tracted, has the chemical and physiologi-. cal properties of cantharidin, the poison- eus principle of cantharides. It may be the poison of the browntail moth, so familiar in parts of America, but this is yet to be determined...

THE EARTH'S TREMBLINGS, Small earth-vibrations as well as greub earthquakes are now being studied with the seismographs established in many parts of the world. The so-called micro- seisms seem to be of numerous varieties, One kind, with a period of 20 seconde, has been traced to wind friction against the earth's surface; and another, of 5 to 10 seconds, seems to be due to the pound- ing of waves on the seashores.

A WAVE GENERATOR.

More economical and efficient produc- tion of electric waves counts for much in wireless telegraphy and telephony. The new achievement of Count Arco, a high- frequency machine for the direct genera- tion of electric waves, is an 'improvement on an invention made 18 months ago by Goldschmidt, and is claimed to differ from all other high-frequency machines in being simple and cheap, running at moderate speed, and yielding waves at

as high a frequency as may be needed.. Though not much unlike the ordinary alternating-current machine, the new apparatus can supply any output at frequencies of 15,000 to 120,000 cycles per second, giving the, alsetric waves of 2,500 to 20,000 meters (14 to 123 miles) required by large wireless stationa. The Garman Telefunken Company has taken up the invention, and the first machines have been made and submitted to electrical au- thorities. A machine of 100 kilowatts is being made for the Nauen Wireless
