SCIENTIFIC NOTES.

IT has been stated by a chemist that heat ing to 120 degrees Centigrade is enough to clear Turkey-reds which have been dyed in the presence of a sulpholeate.

Beat-root sugar is now admitted to be quite distinct from cane sugar. Its sweet ening power is 30 per cent, lower at least, but its polarizing power is greater.

Crude honey has been found to keep far "better than the clarified kind, but the ad dition of about 1 per cent, of oxalic acid will do no harm to the honey, but will im prove it.

The Danish polar expedition for the ex ploration of the eastern coast of Greenland is well on its way towards its destination. It will probably be absent for at least two years.

There can be little or no doubt that the eg?s of hens while undergoing the process of incubation are liable to be affected by the cholera of fowls. Bartbolemy has shown that eggs contain the germs of the microbes.

At a late meeting of the Physical Society, H. K. Troop showed that more than three colour sensations were consistent with the theories of Maxwell and Helmholtz, and explained that four primary, separate colour sensations in couples served the theory as well as three.

A telegraph line has lately been estab lished between Shanghai and Tientsin. It ia now to bo extended to Peking, as the prejudice has been removed. Telegrams are to be forwarded either iv French or in English. "Vet there is a strict scrutiny to be kept by two mandarins. The duty of these officials will be to see that no mes sages will pass over the wires by which the State would be endangered.

An endorsing ink which does not dry quickly on tbe pad and is quickly taken by the paper is thus made : Analine colour in solid form, 16 parts; boiling distilled water, 80 parts; glycerine, 7 parts; and syrup, 3 parts. The colour is dissolved iv hot water, and tbe other ingredients are added while the water is being agitated. This endorsing ink is said to acquire its good quality from the addition of the syrup.

Shooting Stars on august 10th and IITII.—Mr Richard A. Pioctor, in the course of a recent lecture, said :—" It might be asked why any particular night in the year should be characterised in tbat way by a meteoric shower. There were other nights, August 10 and 11. On those two nights they could nearly always see a number ot shooting stars, and sometimes on the nights of August 10 and 11 showers almost as remarkable as at any time were to be seen. These days or hours of the .year meant days and hours when the earth in her circuit round the sun reached a particular part of her path. To say that a particular night of the year would pro duce a shower of that kind, was to say that the earth at a particular part of her path passed through a number of meteors which infestedaparticalar partof theearth'a track. It was like a man goiog along a certain path way from time to time, and when he reached a certain point he was greeted with a num her of missiles. Mischievous boys might be there to salute the traveller each time he passed with a genial brickbat. (Laugh ter.) There was the earth travelling round the sun, and finding that particular part of her track apparently infested by these meteoric bodies. This was proof incontro vertible and clear that thosebodies travelled round the sun, crossing the earth's track on certain dates. There could not be a flight of meteors waiting for the earth to rush through,' but they must have the only pro-' perty that would save them from destruc tion. If they were set there, the sun's attraction would draw them, and after about four months there would be an end of the entire flight. They must have the pro perty of motion, travelling with velocity to maintain themselves, and thus as a stream of them crossed the earth's path on these particular nights, and at these par ticular places, they became visible to them."

Return of the New Zealand Transit of-Venus Party.

Edwin Smith, of the United States Coast aud Geodetic Survey, Professor Pritcnett, of the Washington University of|St. Louis,and parly returned from the Orient by the last mail steamer. Mr Smith was sent by tbe Government, in December last, at the head ot a scientific party to New Zealand to ob serve the transit of Venus. In conversation with a reporter of the "Chronicle," Mr Smith had little to say of the transit obser, vations, a subject concerning which the newspapers were full at the time. Briefly stated, however, the observations were suc cessful, and although partially cloudy weather was experienced, the party ob tained some excellent photographs, Mr Smith was highly elated over some pendu lum observations, which are of interest to th? scientific world, both on account of their nature and of the historical character of the apparatus employed. En route home, the party made a detour and swung these pen dulums at Sydney, Singapore, Tokio, and otherimportantstations not included hither to in the series. The object 6f pendulum observations, it may not be generally known, is to determine the true figure of the earth. A rough statement of the problem may be given as follows : The polar axis being shorter than the equatorial axis, it follows that, as one advances from the equator toward -ither of the poles, the dis tance from the earth's centre is diminished and the force of gravity increased. Inas much as for a given pendulum and a given set of conditions the times of vibration will be (j dicker the greatar the attraction of gravity, and the relation between these two being accurately known, it is evident that hero is afforded a way of ascertain ing by observations extended to all ac cessible latitudesthe ratios of the intensity of gravity at different places, from which may be deduced the earth's exact figure. It is a necessity of the case, of course, that all the conditions and complications arisic" from pressure, temperature, resistance of the air, and other sources which cannot be the same at various points of observation be reduced toacommonsandardofcomparison. These difficulties have been overcome by scientists since the second half of tbe seven teenth century, and the unknown dhtribu tion of matter below the earth's Burface ia vet tbe only tronble defying geodeticians. The pendulums under the charge of Mr Smith are three of the celebrated " Eater's pendulums," devised by Captain Rater, X A., in the early part of th IS century and though u ? cd by various observers iv al! quarters of the globe and at aU levels, are In an excellent state. Accompanying them is "an clock 0 f pe^_ antiquity, made by Shelton, of London, for theTansit of Venus observations of 1 769 . Major Herschol, 8.A., was the last to use these pendulums before they were handed over to the United States Coast Survey Department by the Bntihh Government. The description and delicate operations of these instruments would bo of too technical a character for any but an onthrt'latt to comprehend and appreciate. "ThoVc of pendulums,"said Mr Smith, "has become such an important feature in determining the exact figure of the earth, and, fufacMn all geodetic surveys, that it

I is probable that series of extensive observat ions will be made throughout tbe Cnitcd States by the Coast and Geodetic Service, which of late years has given much attent ion to the subject." Observations were being made by him in the observatory at the corner of Clay aud < i eta via streets. Mr Preston, of the service, who was lately sent to the Caro line Islands to observe the total eclipse, willl return on the 15th inst., and has swung his pendulums there and at Hon olulu, San Francisco beiug the base sta tion and the werk being of a compara tive nature Professor Hilgard, Su perintendent of the United States service, also sent pendulums with the transit-of- Venus party under Lieutenant Very, United States navy, to Patagonia, which party has not yet returned. Mr Marr of the Coast Survey also takes pendulums with him for observations at the station to be maintained at St. Michael's in Alaska, after the Point Barrow station, the northermost, is aban doned.

A man one day came running into a farm bouse, and hurriedly cried for a spade. The farmer, coming out, demanded what he wanted with it, when the man replied that his friend had stuck in a bog, and he wanted to dig him out. " Bow far is he in?" inquired the farmer. "Up to the ankles." "Is that all J" said the farmer. " Then he can pull himself out again; you'll get no spade here." Scratching his head, while his face bore evident signs of grief, the stranger blurted out, " Och, but bejabers, he's in head first! "

A contemporary is of opinion that giddi ness is becoming very general in New Zealand, judging by the following extra ordinary advertisement, which recently appeared iv one of the colonial papers : — " Wanted, by two men, a female com panion or wife. Have a comfortable home in stparate bouaes. Ages, 24 and 3S re spectfully." Then follows the addresses. There is a lot of confusion crammed with those few words. First, whose wife do they want ? Secondly, how is she to live in two houses at the same time ? a gain, how are they going to settle their shares in her ? Or, is it she who would live in a separate house ? Also, why are they aged so-and-so " respectfully" ? And lastly, what in thunder do they mean by it all, anyhow ? Perhaps they are both widowers, and both want to marry again, but consider a whole wife is too much happiness for one man. We suppose the next thing we shall hear of will be wife-raffles at so much a head.

Many queer stories are told about the absurd way iv which uneducated people muddle the Prayer-book, especially the marriage service part of it. A comic paper makes a Hampshire incumbent responsible for the following : -" He said that, in his own parish, it was quite the fashion for the man when giving the ring, to say to the woman : ' With my body I tbee wash up, and with all my hurdle goods I thee and thou.' He said the women were generally better up in this part of the service than the men. One day, however, » bride startled him by promising, In what •ho supposed to be tho language of the Prayer-book, to take her hußband ' to 'aye and to 'old for this day fortnight, for netterer horse, for richer power, in sigger hess health, to love cherries, and to bay,' What meaning this extraordinary vow con veyed to her own mind, the incumbent ■»« it baffled him to conjecture."

TTITCHENS'S BLOOD RESTORER. FOR CLEANSING, PURIFYING, AND INVIGORATING THE BLoOD. i Seven Years' Test ia Auckland. THIS Medicine differs from ordinary pro prietary preparations, inasmuch as it was the product of years of study and investigation by an eminent physician of the Army Medical Staff, -with whom Mr Hitchens served during the New Zealand War, as Assistant Dispenser to the Im perial Forces. On its introduction to the public as a specific for the cure of Rheumatism, Kheumatic uout, Scrofula, Skin Diseases, Blood Impurities, and General Debility, it quickly attained great celebrity, and soon was sought after from every part of New Zealand. Its curative and depnrative -properties have been fully testified by the numerous testimonials received by the proprietor from patients who had long suffered from the above distressing maladies, who had ap plied in vain to physicians for relief, and in whose cases, Turkish Baths, Hot Springs, and. other popular remedies had been re sorted to without effect. This celebrated medicine is compounded from products of the vegetable kingdom, is palatable and easily taken, mild, but effec tual, in its action upon the animal econ omy. It is, in sooth, a veritable Blood Restorer, cleansing it, and thereby restor ing diminished vitality. It presents, un questionably, a purer, safer, better, and more reliable alterative medicine tban any that has hitherto been available to the people. MORE TESTIMONY 1 Not a SURPRISING CURE To those who know what U itchens' Blood Resto ser HAS DONE. In the Auckland Evening Star of the 27th April last, appeared the following local, which explains itself :— The brig Bella Mary, from Melbourne in ballast, bound for Kaipara, put into har bour yesterday morning to obtain medical aid for Captain Owens, master of the vessel, who has been very unwell during the latter part of the voyage. Captain Owens, who has followed the seafaring profession for many year?, and had never until leaving Melbourne on Apiil 10th last, suffered from illness of any severe nature, was suddenly seized on that date with violent pains in the back. Since then he has been swung up in a hammock in the cabin quite helpless. The vessel was off Kaipara at noon on Thursday last, but the weather being thick and foggy, it was deemed advisable to come on to Auck land for medical assistance. The barque arrived early yesterday morning, and Dr Moore having been sent for, visited Capt. Owens, and gave instructions to the mate of the vessel regarding treatment. The invalid is suffering from a species of rheumatism of a severe nature, and the doctor considers it advisable to effect a partial recovery before attempting the re moval of his patient to more suitable quarters on shore. Capt. Owens is well known in Auckland, and many residents will be sorry to learn of hi 3 affliction." Referring to above, Captain Owen has this day (Ist December), stated: "After being treated for about five weeks by two medical men successively, with very little alteration in my condition, except that the pain in my hands and back was made somewhat easier through the effect of the galvanic battery, I felt a gradual sinking that told me the dread end was not far off, and one of my visiting friends suggested that I should try what Hitchen's Blood Restorer would do, as it was being so talked about far and wide. Without much faith in it, I consented to try it, but did not notice any good effect until I had taken about the tbird or fourth bottle, when my appetite decidedly quickened, and I felt that my strength was coming back to me. I then ceased to take the medicine, and allowed nature to take its course, hut finding my appetite going, I stimulated it by small doses of the Restorer, using no other medicine, but applying the ointment freely. By degrees my whole system seemed to be invigorated; and now, after a treatment of six months,l am able to re sume charge of my vessel, and am only waiting her arrival in port to do so. I can easily walk four miles a day without the slightest inconvenience. I consider my friend's suggestion saved my life, and that it is a duty that I should publicly testify to the extraordinary power of Hitchens'a Blood Restorer over the severest cases of rheumat ism," W.
