Canal Systrtta for Germany.

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•

voracity and for the enormous distensi-

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.

To Corner Plratini"n.
The formation of a Franco-Belgian syn-
dicate, with a capital of (;10,000,000, has
beeu announced, its purpose being to pur-
chase the platinum mines of Russia and
thereby control the world's output of this
metal. 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. It is claimed, however,
that the syndicate has not boonable to
