CUnTENT NOTES OF DISCOVERY AND INVENTION. A Fortab. e i;iectr.c Lighter New llrlck Den i -ii Future? Steam Speeds at Sea li-ton of the Scarcity of liubber Kecnt Inventions. T'nture Steam Speed at Sea. Wii.ing in Cassitr's Magazine on "Future Steam Speeds at Sea," Mr. J. R. Oldham says: As to the speed of the future, 1 remember reading an article on mechanical impossibilities written about twenty-five years ago. It was well written and possibly it was generally correct, but on operation which was cited as impossible of accomplishment, was that of propelling a steamer at the rate of twenty-five miles an hour across the ocean. At that time the Atlantic had never been crossed by a screw steamer at so high a rate as fifteen miles an hour, the Scotia being the fastest liner in those days, she having crossed the Atlantic at an average rate of 14 1-3 knots. Steaming across the ocean at the rate of twenty-five miles an hour might, therefore, well have been looked upon at that date as impossible, but today there are steamers which have reached tint speed, and there are others in course of construction which may probably exceed that rate across the Atlantic. Although, roughly speaking, the power required to propel a steamer varies with the cube of the snecJ, yet before a third of the next century expires, another increase cf at least 50 per ctnt in. ocean speed may safely be prophesied. How this is to be accomplished it would be too hazardous to attempt to surmise; but I may point out how I think it will not be done, and that is by carrying and handling 5,000 tons of bunker coals in a hull drawing nearly 500 feet ot water. The model of the ocean mail steamer of the next century will probably be that of a very much enlar-d "destroyer' of great breadth and length and small draught of water forward. Lighter and stronger materials will compose the structure, which may be moved by multiple propellers, possibly working in a tunnel, so that a number of wheels could be worked by separate shafts, actuated by rotary motors, as the sizes of screws shafts and engines even now under construction are perilously large; or the motive powtir may be produced by compressed air or gas. Then, the form of least resistance probably being discovered, the hull, broad and light in comparison with the augmented dimensions, will rise on top of the waves rather than pass through them. The rolling, and pitching may be more severe than at present, but with improved cabins and a shortened voyage the difference may not be noticed. The construction of a steamer of C3.000 tons will probably not trouble the constructors of the future nearly as much as did the building of the Great Eastern those of the pjst. There will be infinitely Iss labor, both mental and physical, than was required for the construction of a great ship in those days. Ken son of the Scarcity of Kuhher. The scarcity of rubber is a matter that attracts the attention of so many different people, in so many lines of applied science, that some facts from one of the United States consular reports bearing on the subject will not be amiss. The principal reason advanced to explain the lack of rubber is the great difficufTy in securing enough men to go into the forests along the Amazon and tap the trees. There is no immediate danger of any great shortage in the supply of rubber, but conservative opinion in the Amazon r' rict holds that there is sure to be a steady diminution of the output for two very cogent reasons; first, the trees growing near the banks of the river are naturally the first to be tapped, and as a result are now becoming exhausted, the milk becoming poorer every year; second, the river banks have all been worked inland for a distance of about three miles from their banks, and in order to reach the fresh untouched rubber trees deeper in the forest, a much longer time and a very much larger number of men will be required. The finest rubier forests are now said to be along the Purus river, one of the large tributaries of the Amazon from the south. Portable Klectrlc I-'jrliter. One of the most acceptable of modern conveniences is the electric gaslighting system which is found In a!l modern houses, and the only reason that it is not universal is because of the inconvenience of running the tiny cordlike wire through an old house. As a structure is in the course of erection it is avery simple matter to bury the wires in the walls, but after these walls are once finished it is a more serious problem. A means by which this wiring is rendered entirely unnecessary has been recently brought before the patent authorities by an inventor of Brooklyn, N. Y.. who has been granted a patent. Uy this device the act of turning on the gas is made to temporarily close an electric circuit and establish connection between a source of electricity and an igniting coil located near the tip of the j burner. The source of the electricity is a battery which may be carried in the hand, as shown, or may be contained in the handle of a lighter with a Jaw extension to engage the gas cock. The essential feature of this patent Is the construction of the cocL, which is designated In such a inanser that one

U 1 M , Iii pa)! a " ' ' ' l Iß

part Is Insulated from the other, ad by this means a complete circuit may be established through the part comprising the cock and the pipe to the jet and returning by means of an exposed wire supported from the pipe but thoroughly insulated from it. By this scheme any number of gas jets may be put into operation one after the other without the use of a match or flame.

New llrlck Design. On account of the great age of the building brick, it might be supposed that its most perfect form would have been discovered long ago, but an improvement has just been made and patented by an inventor of Philadelphia, which looks like a promising Innovation. On the two widest surfaces of the brick are two wedge-shaped pockets located on each side of the middle and deepest at that part toward the extreme ends of the brick. When one brick is laid over another in the familiar manner the pockets upon the under surface of one layer of bricks will be opposite or directly over the next adjacent brick of the lower layer, thereby forming rectangular chambers or seats, in which the mortar or cement can be forced as the bricks are laid. The peculiarity of thb construction will be obvious at once, as the bricks are held strongly against spreading or cracking by the mortar or cement which lies in the co-operative deprcs-ions in the superposed bricks, 'i 'ie cement h intended to fill these spaces as well as between the e('ges and cc::er of b ick. thus causing each brick when subjected to strain to pull against another, because of the square shoulder or abutment produced by the mortar located in its depression. The Heat and Drought in Kurland. In a letter to Nature, "Meteor" suggests that the late prevalence and persistence of anti-cyclonic conditions over the center and south of the British isles may be connected with the unusual extension southwards of the polar icepack this summer. In July even Spitzbergen was surrounded by ice. most of the fiords being quite inaccessible. Since areas of cold on the earth's surface tend to cause areas ot high pressure or dense air in the atmosphere above them, the result would be not only a prevalence of anti-cyclones in high latitudes over the north Atlantic, but also the persistent extension of the northern edge of the great "Atlantic anti-cyclone" over the center and south of England, so th-.t cyclones which usually strike ti e southwest of Ireland or the coast t Cornwall have been "fended off" to the north of Scotland, with the result ol heat and drought over England. "Meteor" goes on to appeal to Icelandic or Norwegian readers of Nature for more facts. The Type Height of a Kaee. Dr. Thomson in Knowledge says in every race there are certain individuals below or above what we may term the most common height; the smaller individuals may outnumber, balance, or fall short of the taller individuals, sc that their inclusion in the average may detract from the value of the result. For this reason the height of a race is best expressed by means of a binomial curve, as was first suggeste . by Quetelet and Galton. By the adoption of such a method we are at once enabled to recognize the standard ol height attained by the greatest number of individuals, whilst the sides ol the curve will illustrate the proportion of the various individuals who fall short of or exceed the common standard. Scotch Mist and Other Mist. Tourists in Scotland are sometimes surprised to hear the name "mist" applied to what seems to them rather a shower of rain. The peculiarity of a Scotch mist is that the drops of moisture are very large and scattering. This, according to the investigations of Mr. John Aitkin, is a result of tht purity of the air in the Highlands. An ordinary mist, or fog, in a dusty country or a smoky city, is dense because the moisture has innumerable floating particles to settle upon; but where the air is free from dust the fog nuclei are widely separated and resemble minute drops of rain. Kecent Invention. To insure the complete closure of a gas key when turning out the light an improved lock has been designed, comprising a spring wire formed into a double loop, which is pivoted in the fixture and presses against the side o! the key to force either side back against its shoulder. In a newly designed self-igniting attachment for incandescent gas burners the top of the chimney is fitted with a mica hood, having a hole in one side in which a piece of spongy platinum is suspended, with a Hat plate balanced on a bar to be lifted by the gas and close the hole after the ga-s is lighted by the platinum. A combined tobacco pipe and whistle has been patented by an ISnglishman. having the mouthpiece screwed into the end of a tube, with' an opening in the top of the tube, in which a ball valve is placed to close the opening when smoking, the ball rising when air is forced in to blow the whistle. To insure a cu of tha same depth on opposite sides l a board a new saw attachment is formed of two independent clamping members whioh are adjusted on the back of the saw and extend toward the teeth, being set to stop the cutting when the saw has gone to the desired depth.

To Los Angeles and Southern California Every Friday night, at 10:33 p. m., a through Tourist Car for Los Angeles and Southern California, leaves the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul Railway Union Passenger Station, Chicago, via Omaha, Colorado Springs and Salt Lake City, for all points in Colorado, Utah, Nevada and Califo-nia. In addition to the regular Pullman porter, each car is accompanied by an intelligent, competent and courteous "courier," who will attend to the wants of passengers en route. This is an entirely new feature of tourist car service, and will be appreciated by families or by ladies traveling alone. Particular attention is paid to the care of children, who usually get weary on a long journey. These tourist cars are sleeping cars supplied with all the accessories necessary to make the jouiney comfortable and pleasant, and the berth rate (each berth will accommodate two persons) is only $6.00 from Chicago to California. Ask the nearest ticket agent for a tourist car folder, or address Geo. H. Heafford, General Pass, and Ticket Agent, Chicago, 111.
