Ilse for Liquefied Aar. It is reported that a use has been found for liquefied air, the possibilities of which have been matters of discussion among scientific men for sem0 time. According to The Mining Reporter, a dis- covery was ntaacle recently by which it is now practicable to use liquefied air- in underground work, such as mining, driv- ing tunnels and sinking shafts. It is said that under proper conditions the libera- tion of air from the liquid can be effec- tive in generating power• with which to run drills under ground, pumps, hoists, etc., while cool air can also be supplied in the deepest mines. Theliquidair can also be -used in freezing soft ground, making tunnel outtin.g less hazardous and tedious. A New Use for Spiders. In the professional school. at Ohalis- Menden, The Industrie Textile states that spiders have now to spin for the benefit of the balloons which pro used for scientific and military- researches.. The spiders are grouped . in dozens before a reel which withdraws the delicate threads. - One spider can give a thread from. 20 to 40 yards in length, rafter which perform- ance'it is released. The threads aro of pinkish hue, and aro washed to remove the sticky surface layer. Eight threads have to be combined. The resulting tex- ture is much lighter than ordinaay silk of the sonic bull., and strong cords for military balloons can no doubt be obtain- ed in this way. P'isii with an Mastic Stomach. The good old rule that a receptacle must be larger than its contents finds sp• parent refutation in the case of the chia.s- modon, a fish popularly known as "tho black swallower," It is noted for its voracity and for the enormous distensi- bility of its stomach, which permits it to wallow hikes larges' then itiwU. First Weather Prophecy on accord. The first attempt at scientific forecast- ing of the weather was the result of a storm which during the Crimean war, November 14, 1854, almost destroyed the fleets of Franco and England. As a storm had raged several days earlier in Franco, Valliant, the French Minister of War, directed that investigations bo made to see if the two storms wore the sante, and if the progress of the disturbances could have been foretold. It was demonstrated that the two were in reality ono storm. and that its path could have been ascer- tained and the fleet forewarned in ample time to reach safety. Must 'Pouch Ilar4ler.

Ninety per cent. of sho world's - supply conies from the Ural Mountains, and the consumption, is practically a fixed quantity, regardless of price, ' since wherever platinum is used it is an inn perative necessity, so that any change of the supply will nave a great effect ou the market price.
