SCIENTIFIC MISCELLANY.

MINUTE DISEASE GERMS,

It was discovered in 1898 that the virus of the foot and mouth disease would pass through the finest porcelain filter, and a recent summary by Dr. 8. B. Wolbach, of the Harvard Medical School, shows that 30 diseases-including some of the nost important in man and animals- are now known to be due to micro-organ- isms too small be intercepted by filters that retain bacteria. These organisma constitute the so-called "filterable viruses." The diseases include yellow lover, molluscum contagiosum, dengue' fever, verruca vulgaris, trachoma, sand- fly or three-day fever, poliomyelitis, typhus fever, measles, and starlet fever, as those peculiar to man; foot and mouth disease, rabics, and vaccina and variola,.

The organism of the pleuro-pneumonia of cattle has been re cognized under the microscope with a nagnification of 1,500 diameter. The others--smaller-remain unseen, though there is evidence that some may be enlarg-| ed to microscopic size in some stages of growth.

IMPROVED ZING-COATING.

In a new German method of galvaniz- ing, iron is soaked in salphuric acid; next heated in a selution of mercury chloride, where the mercury precipitated- forms a surface coating of iron amalgam; and then plunged for three minutes into a bath of zine heated to 500deg. This is claimed to be superior to the ordinary galvanizing. The zine adberes firmly. and is found to penetrate deeply into the porés of the iron.

ELECTRIC FURNACE STEEL-

In the early development of iron and steel manufacture by electricity, an ener mous supply of cheap water power has given the lead to Sweden and Norway. In those countries the success has been encouraging, and Dr. R. Taussig, in & review at the International Congress of Applied Chemistry, showed that 25,000 horse-power is already used for this pur pose at Trollhatten. Domnarivet, Hag. fors, Hardanger and Arendal. In high- grade steel inanufacture, the charcoal fuel necessary for the ordinary

process may be valued at-ebout--$20 for the equivalent of one horse-power for a year: but the hydro-electric horse-power year costs only about $10 in Sweden and $8.25 in Norway. Besides the fact that the electric furnace costs so much less than the blast furnace for operating in these countries, the electric process ofters a great advantage in utilizing low-grade oré. One form of electric furnace, for instance, can use as much as 80 per cent.
