SCIENCE NOTES.

IN water conta—o " caustic soda aim air i cc from carbonic acid, lead, tin, Bnttania metal, aud zinc suffer a considerable Lss ; brass and German silver an inconsiderable loss ; copper none. A good deal |of lead titi, Britiania metal, aud zinc ure dis solved ; only a little brass and Geiwan silver, aud no copper. Professor Johnstrup, of the University of Copenhagen, is of opinion that there is evidence sufficient in many pa-:s of Den. mark to show that intervals of warm tem perature must have followed the great glacial period. It is proposed in Paris that a medical service be formed for the pur, .so of asccr taininc what chronic or constitutional diseases ullcct the teeth, eyes, or ears of the pupils in the public schools, and of devising SUiiablo remedies lor tbe ailments. During next August, September, and October, thete will bo au International Electrical Kxhimtiou held in Vienna, and the Austrian Government is to lend us aia to the project. Thorough prevention of the mouldy smell of stored corn or other cerenls depends al most absolutely upon thorough ventilation. And, by tho way, a bad odour anywhere in homes, otliccs, stores, is a hint from Nature ; at something is wrong which requires prompt aud thorough attention. All litis business of applying disirfectants and so-. called antiseptics dots more harm than good for tho most part. They simply liui-k poisons, to put the matter strongly, leaving the prime cause as fertile of disease producing germs as before. It has been noted that, notwithstanding tbe "teat annual growth of Loudou in population and residences, nearly 2 UOI.UOO tons of coal less were entered for consumption last year than tho year precei iug. Several causes have tended to produce this result. The winter was cold ; more people had to be warmed niul fed. But the anti-smoke agitation hud its good result iv stimulating inventors to ( make the bost sort of fireplaces, and in inducing people to adopt them. London, as w< 11 as New York, has always been wasteful in fuel, 'Ihere is more good fuel carted away in a morning from the ash-barrels of o o of tho families of our leading merchants than would serve to give warmth and cook ing facilities to a Parisian fumi'y ior a week.

In tbe " Journal " of the Franklin Insti tute for February, Mr Hexatuor has a paper on " Dust Explosions in Breweries." Be shows that not only are coal-dust and the line flour-dust in corn mills liable to ex plosion, but that grain-dust often reaches a certain degree of fineness which ou the slightest provocation is almost Instan taneously ignited, the product beiog gases of many hundred times the volume of the iloatiue dust, causing explosions of terrific force. He suggests that steam-jets should be introduced into the mill-box and elevator, and he iusists that where artificial light is required it should be enclosed, and that under no conditions should looso caudles or oil-lamps be employed.

Mr With, iv a lecture at Hereford ou tho Pyramids, stated that the length of a base side of the Great Pyramid divided by the sacred cubit, gives exactly the number of days, hours, aud minutes of the solar >ear, anil by measuring tho four sides it gives Leap Year. Tbe lecturer also referred tn the views of Robott Menzics aud Prof. Piuzzi Smyth, and stated that the date of erection had been determined to be 2170 B.C.

A Parisian has invented a new explosive 'vhich is more poworfr' than dynamite. Panclasltte, as he callsit, consists of hypo azotic acid, which is ono of the numerous compounds of oxygen and azote or nitrogen, mixed either with essence of petroleum or sulphuret of carbon, The degree of ex plosive force is said to depend upon which of the last-named ingredients is used,

PAINT OX ZIKO.-The well-known diffi culty experienced in causing oil colours to adhere iv a perfect marine, ro sneet zinc, appears now to have been overcome by M. Boettger, who for tnis purpose employs a mordant—as he terms it—ot the following composition; One quart of chloride of copper, one of nitrite of copper, and ono of sal-ammonic, are dissolved 'ii sixty-four parts of water, and to rh« solution thus prepared is addc.i <«•<• p.irt of com mercial hydrochloric acid. The sheets of zinc ore well b u-hed ocr with this liquid, which itnpa'ts to them a deep black colour ;in tho course of from twelve to twenty-four hours, they become dry, ond to hrii n ,\v dullish grey surface a emit of »ny oil c 1 ur will lirmlv adhete. Borne sheet* »' zinc, ticited in this way, and afterward* pnit-d, have been found to withstand nil (he atmospheric changes of winter and summer.

Brightknisg lit h -The ingonions method of brightening wm sime time since brought to notice by M. h den, a Bavarian artisan, is found to possess some peculiar advantages over ordinary methods hitherto in use, tne iron goods treated in this manner acquiring a bright surfaci', and presenting an admirable white glaze, without under going any of the usual polishing operations. The articles to be thin brightened are, when taken from the forge or the rolls—in the case of such objects as plates, wire, &c. —placed in dilute sulphuric acid,for cleans ing them, and are then washed perfectly clean with water and dried with sawdust; after this, they are dipped for a second or so in nitrous acid, washed carefully, dried in sawdust, and rubbed clean. It is stated that the action of the sulphuric acid is in creased by the addition of a small quantity of carboiic acid.

The GLACIAL Formation.—M. Forel's remarkable Investigations of the periodic variations characterising glaciers are pub lished in " Les Mondes." According to these researches, tho present notable period of glacial retreat began about the year IS4O in some places, though the Unteraar glacier did not diminish until about IS7I. The period is now coming to an end, and many of the glaciers are beginning to increase again. M. Forel thinks that]the differences of length aro traceable immediately to periodic variations in the velocity of flow, these being due to corres ponding variations in tho thickness of the glacier. These arc due partly to differ ences of snow-fall upon tho summits, and partly to variations in the summer heat, though the latter is presumed to be of only secondary influence. The retreat •which is just ending, and which has excited so much interest in the scientific world, is attributed to a deficit ot snow, which dates back from forty to sixty years, aud a scries of warm summers for the last twenty years or so.

Making Bullets, -English bullets ate now manufactured at Woolwich by an im proved process—claimed to bo, in fact, the most perfect in tho world. The meltod metal is poured into a reesiver, and as soon as it solidifies, but before it is cold, it is forced by hydraulic pressure through cylln drical holes into the form of long strings. This process is to prevent the formation of air bubbles in the bullet, which would

cause it, when fired, to swerve ffom its course. The leaden strings are thence carried to the bullet-moulding department, where they are cut into lengths and roughed, then shaped in ono machine and finished in another. They were formerly plugged with wood, but now plugs are prepared from a special powder which solidifies after being pressed into form. Forsharpshooting. great care is observed to insure bullets of uniform size, shape, and weight, and to use powder of a known explosive force.

The STAR of Bethlehem. -The re appearance of the Star of Bethlehem is predicted by astronomers for this year or the next. On 11th November, 1572, Jycho Krahe discovered a star in Cassiopeia which equalled Sirius and even Venus iv bright ness for a month, and then fell back into its former insignificance. Conjecture has sought to establish a connection between this ephemeral phenomenon and two similar apparitions in 12(54 and 045. A not un natural inference was that tbe same increase in volume of this remarkable star occurred before 945 which would bring us to about 630 and 310, and to the date of tho Nativity. This star is now again due.

Death op the Spoon Swim-owe..— The waiter Geniscain, who swallowed the spoon four mouths a.o iv Paris, and on whom Or Felizet performed the operation of gostrotomy, is dead. The operation was most successful. The spoon was taken out, and the ooening in Hie stomach stitched up attain with silver wire. He was put on a rigorous diet of rum and soup, and was favorably progressing toward what was oxpecteil would prove it complete recovery, Unhappily, however, some three weeks ngo lie was seized with a violent craving for nioio solid food, and, profiting by the absence of the person who was placed in charge of him, ho managed to get hold of a loaf of bread aud a largo piece of cheese, which be ate greedily. As was to be ex pected.inilammatiou speedily declared itself, the suture came undone, and tho wound re opened, it was stitched up again, but after a little time peritonitis supervened, and lie died on Sunday last.

QUEER REMEDIES.—Where will science not lead us? Kecently it was discovered that dead cats could he converted into butter, and now one of the worst of house hold pests, the cockroach, is said to form a mo-t valuable medicine. In Kus9ia, already, it is almost universal as a diuretic in certain diseases, wtv'.st in European mcdici-1 practico it is frequently used as a cure for Bright's disease. The Professor of Materia Mcdica in Jefferson's College advocates the drinking of cockroach tea, and *a>N that cockroaches are not entirely unknown iv tho medical practice in Philadelphia, ''though physicians do not care to have it known." When prescribed it is iv the shape of a pill made with tho powder of the dried insect. Besides tho pill form, a solution of cockroaches is some times employed. It is prepared by soaking fat female specimens lv whisky. Physi cians are not wanting who atlirm that it is only a matter of time for cockroaches to be come of common use in medical practice.

Why a Man's Hair Turned Gray in a Single Night.

Casks are of rare occurrence in which, as in Byron's '" Prisoner of Chillon," one's hairs white

Iv a singlo night, As men's havo grown from suddon fears, but there is a wtll-authenticated instance ol this kind in the person of Charles B. Waidrop, tho cigar-store mau of 21S, North Fourth-street. "Ibis Newhall House lire iv Milwaukee vividly recalls an incident iv my early life," remarked Mr Wardrop to a " Globe Democrat" reporter who dropped iuto bis store yesterday afteruoou for a few samples of the fragrant weed. "My white hairs date from February 20, ISSS, and if you care to hear the story I will tell it to you. The olu Pacific Hotel iv this city was opeued for the reception of guests on Seventh and Poplar-streets ou June 28, 1857. The hotel was three stories high, the first story being occupied by stores, and it was a very good hotel for those days, I was about 25 years old at that time, and alter serving a while as clerk, chauged for the position of bend porter. The house had been opened less than a year, when, on February _0, 1858, it was swept by such a fatal fire as this city has never seen before or since. That night thirty occupants of the house perished in the flames, and it was by the merest cbancc that I was not in cluded in the number. I had given up my room for that night, aud was sleeping with eight others, mostly railroad men, in the same loom on the third lloor of the honse. About 2 o'clock in the morning I was awakened by the fierce crackling of the flames, and was conscious ot a sheet of fire rolling through the chamber in which we were sleeping, I rolled out on the floor and crawled along on my hands and knees under the Homes, which filled all the upper part of the room. The stench from the roasting bodies of my dead companions was something fearful, and I expected to meet tho same faie. Although badly scorched, I kept my presence of mind and crawled ont of the room, through the hall ; and to the stairways leading to the second floor. On attempting to descend them I fell through the fire which had destroyed them, setting my shirt on fire and striking on the banis ters leading from the first to the second story, and breaking two ribs. From this place I gained the street, and was saved. Of the other eight men in the room, not one escaped. Among tho dead was Mr Geiry, a newspaper man. In making my escape, my hair was singedpfffmy head, and when it grew out it was as white as snow. Tho terrible experiences of that night whitened it completely, and although suc ceeding growths have had some dark hair mingled with them,, ray bead is still very white, as you see. A long investigation was conducted after the fire, but its cause was never fully explained. It wns proved that the watchman, who perished in tho flames, was drunk that night, and, although some thought the fire incendiary, I always charged it to some swinging lamps in tho back part of the bouse. The night was bit ter cold, and tho wind blew fiercely, Tho Fire Department, which had recently been organized, was hindered by frozen fire plugs. From that day to this I havo never slept in a room that was not within easy jumping distance of the gronnd, nlthough I bave travelled a great deal and stopped in many hotels, Whenever I could not get a room suiting me in that particular, I have frequently spent mv night in a chair in a hotel office. From my experience I have a good opportunity to. judge of what the poor feople in the Milwaukee fire Buffered, and can tell you that it must have bsen some •thing terrible."—"St. Louis Globo De mocrat."

Virtue is made for difficulties, and grows stronger and brighter for such trials. An astonished alderman has received a letter from a constituent, beginning " Dear and _ honest sir." Tbe letter was im mediately returned to tbe post-office, en dorsed, " Opened by mistake by Aid—"
