ELECTRICITY IN MININO..

The Territorial Enterprise says, that, elec ricity is the coming power in mining. It will eventually be used for driving mining and milling machinery in all places where water power can be obtained within a reasonable distance of the mines that are being worked. To use the cicc trically transmitted power will be cheaper than to use the water-power itself. The mill for the redaction of the ore may then be erected at the

Professor H. Muller, an eminent botanis', says that the best time to prune vines is while the grapes are ripening, and that the young shoots should be selected for this purpose, as they require for their development a large quantity of sugar, to the detriment of the ripening fruit.

Among the late English inventions of interest is one by G. Bischoff of London, called a pro- cess and apparatus for purifying water. Accord ing to the inventor water is purified by mixing with it iron in a state of fine division, allowing subsidence of part of the iron and effecting precipitation of a further quantity of the iron by aerating the liquid,

It is stated that vessels built of African teak wood have lasted too years, to be then broken up because of faulty models. Its weight is from forty-two to fifty two pounds per cubic foot; it works easily, but wears the tools rapidly on, account of the quantity of silex in it. It also contains an oil which prevents the iron in contact with it from rusting.

The inter-infection of diphtheria between man and varicus animals, from pigeons and fowls to cats, horses, and sheep, has been pretty well established by Dr. George Turner, who reports the results of his investigations to the British Local Government Board.

THE CHINA AND MANILA ́STEAMSHIP. COMPANY, LIMITED,

FOR MANILA, VIA AMOY.

Mrs. Schaffer of Chicago has lately invented THE Company's Steamship a garbage, crematory built on the plan of a large oren. It is fed from the top, the ashes sifting through iron grates into 4-wheel carts, so that they may be conveniently hauled away. It is so constructed that all the smoke and smell is carried by pipca into a large smokestack. She bas also constructed a machine for washing windows.

Telegraph poles are preserved in Norway by making an auger hole about two feet from the ground, in which four or five ounces of sulphate of copper in coarse crystals are placed and plugged in. The chemical is gradually absorbed by the wood until its whole outer surface turns greenish hue. The sulphate requires an occasional renewal, and is said to be a perfect preservative.

MINING COAL BY ELECTRICITY.

A new coal mining company, known as the Electric Motor Company, which has a patent for mining by electricity, will establish a plant at Phillipsburg, Penn., for the mining of an area of ten miles. The plant, as ducing wire at of a central dynama, conducting wires, coal cutting machine, electric lamps and motor attachments for banging the mining cars Electrical Review.

• SOMETHING TO BEAT THE OAS METER. Mr. Brownhills of England has invented a pay-before-delivery gas meter," One or more pennies are dropped into an opening and the regulating apparatus of the meter liberates a quantity of gas of corresponding value, after which it stops, awaiting the advent of fresh pence. The coins accumulate and are removed by the collector at intervals. The mechanical Arrangements of the meter will, it is believed, render fraud difficult and they can be manufac fured for about $5 each.

BAD FOR THE SILKWORM.

Artificial silk is the latest discovery, and judg. Ing from the details of it that are to band, it seeins kely that the silkworm's occupation will anon be gone, and that he may retire to his cocoon and lament his lost importance in silence. The new material is made, we are told, from a kind of collodion, to which has been added rerchloride ofiron and tannic acid. The process of manufacture is somewhat complicated, but the result seems to be all that can be desired in the way of providing a substance practically equal 10 good silk,

TO CLEAN LINEN WITHOUT SOAP.· ́ According to L'industrie Parisienas, à Inga- dyman in the vicinity of Paris has discovered a very ingenious method of cleaning linen without soap. He uses no soap or lys, nor chlorine, but replaces these substances by bolled potatoes, with which he rubs the linen. This curious process, it appears, is much superior to those hitherto employed, and the worst soiled cotton, linen or silk, cleaned by this method, are made whiter than they could be by the use of an alkall. Besides, the method has the advantage that brashes can be dispensed with and well water be used, DA

THIS COMPANY has been formed for the THIS

purpose of supplying the want which bas been felt for many years past, of a well-planned and well-fitted modern hotel of sufficient dimen- sions to accommodate the large and: constantly growing passenger traffic through Singapore, as

supply the great demand for well

temporary or permanent residential chambers.

Singapore is the chief town of the British Crown Colony of the Straits Settlements, and is a leading place of call and coaling port on the great steam lines of communication with the Far East. It is moreover the centre of an extensive trade with India, China, the Dutch Indies, the Philipplars, Siam, and other countries,

The present hotel accommodation in Singa pore is quite inadequate, and it is proposed to acquire the fine site now partly occupied by the HOTEL de L'EUROPE, and build thereon a hotel of much larger dimensions, and greatly improved Construction and arrangement. Fully detailed plans have been prepared and the engagement, of a first-class Manager is already secured.
