SCIENTIFIC MISCELLANY.

THE HONGKONG DAILY PRESS, TUESDAY, JULY 22ND. 1818

ANY FEROTAL, DIAMONDE OF DETTEN BIZE, Diamond-making, after a period of neglect, is being revived. For experi- ments with a modified Moissan process, Wm. Brandt, a German chemist, suggests using commercial iron thermite and carbon powder in an iron-plate cylinder packed with fluorspar, and, after igniting collecting in water the hot mass as it melts through the cylinder. The iron, separated mechanically from the slack, is tronted with aqua regia and other solvents and fused with sodium bisulphite, when

inutes diamonds sink as the powder left is taken up with methylene odide. The Makan diamonds are very small, and, the specimens lately annoured by E. de Boismenu, measuring nearly a tenth of an inch, are so great an advance that now

ARTIFICIAL TWINKLING OF STARS,

The imitation star-twinkling suggested by a London physiologist depends upon the discovery that the centre of the retina is sensitized from the periphory, and may be extra sensitive or blind at any given instant, On looking at a small light across a dark room, the eye being kopt motionless, the twinkling appears. Pale bluish-violet circles contract from the neriphery to the centre of the field of vision, the light brightens, and then it disappears if the circles stop.

ELECTRICALLY STIMPLATED DIGESTION.

A notable physiological influence of high frequency electric currents has been brought to notice by Dr. Bergonie of Bordeaux. They caused to be taken up by the body seventy per cent. of the food. ordinarily passing undigested, and thus greatly increased the efficiency of food.
