Wonderful Power.

The pressure that can be produced by eloctrolytic generation of gad in a closed space has recently been tested by a French scientist. The highest pressure heretofore realized was %6-70 pounds to the square inch. In this instance the pressure obtained was between 12,000 and the pressure obtained was between 12,000 and 18.000 to the square inch, when the manometer cracked without any explosion. The liquid used was a 25 per cent. * solution of soda. The electrode? were of iron, and the current 1 j amperes.
