IT r -fc ^n >.rr, SCIENCE NOTES & NEWS. SCIENCE APPRECIATED IN FRANCE. A popular vote that had an unusually in- teresting result was tak n in France some time since. A Paris newspaper proposed the question, Who were the ten greatest Frenchmen of the Nineteenth Century?" Fifteen million votes were recorded, and Pasteur stood at the head of the poll with 1,300,000 votes. Victor Hupo came second with 1,200,000, and Napoleon was only fourth.

WHY RUBBER TYRES GET HOT. When an automobile is running at high speed the rubber tyres are rapidly warmed, and the heat sometimes becomes very great, with resultant injury to the rubber. The cause of this accumulation of heat in the tyre is ascribed to the kneading of the rubber, which generates heat faster than it can be radiated away. For this reason manu- facturers have found it to be an advantage to have metal parts in the tread, such as the ends of rivets, in contact with the tyre, be- cause the metal, being a good radiator, helps to carry off the heat to the outer air.

AN EYE EXHIBITION. In the museum at Stockholm there is a verv interesting collection of eyes taken from human beings at different ages. They are cut across in such a way as to exhibit plainly the "internal and the external eye. In looking at these specimens it is easy to observe that the eye of the young child is as transparent as water; that of the youth a little less so; in the man of thirty the eye begins to be slightly opaque in the man of fifty or sixty it is decidedly opaque, and in the man of seventy or eighty it is dull and lustreless. This gradual development of opacity is due to the increase of fibrous tis- sue and the deposit of waste matter in the eye.

DENATURED ALCOHOL. In order that alcohol may be considered to be denatured, something must be added to it which 'destroys the possibility of using it as a beverage. For instance, a mixture which contains 100 gallons of grain alcohol, ten gallons of wood alcohol, and half a gallon of benzine would be unsuitable for drinking. As a matter of fact, if the above mixture nad water added to it, the benzine would be thrown down. For alcohol which is used lor tHe manufacture of celluloid, camphor is mixed. For shellac varnish, only a mixture of grain and wood alcohol is used. It costs more to produce the raw denatured alcohol than the pure grain alcohol, but, of course, the tax on the latter makes the denatured alcohol comparatively cheap.

MICROPHONE FIREDAMP DETECTIVE. In France Monsieur Hardy has invented an application of the microphone to detect firedamp in mines. This is its principle: If eound-wavee from two pipes of equal pitch impinge on .microphones connected in series with a telephone, a clear note is heard; but if one of the pipes emits a slightly different note, beats will be heard in the telephone. Here is the application: One pipe is placed in the mine, the other above ground, and they are blown simultaneously. If the air in the mine is charged with firedamp, it will produce a different note from that produced by clear air, owing to the difference of den- sity, and, in consequence, a series of beats in the telephone gives warning of the pre: sence of firedamp. The same apparatus is very sensitive to the presence of coal-gas.

WALL-PAPER AND TEMPERAMENT. It has long been recognised by medical men that the colour of the wall-paper has an appreciable effect on the occupants of a. room, says the Reader. Scientists have made the subject a distinct branch of study. They call it chromopathy. And some of the more important of their results may be sum- marised as follows: Red, as a predominant colour on the walls, tends to rouse, in- vigorate, and cheer; blue has a sedative, calming influence, but with some people it is depressing, and leads to melancholy, al. though nervous excitement is frequently- allayed by it; yellow is a capital cerebral stimulant, and, combined with red, thus forming orange, it proves a powerful specific in those of a sluggish nature green has a. very resting effect upon the eyes, and their being in such close sympathy with the brain, the soothing influence of this colour proves helpful in case of brain-fag.

TO HELP THE VOICE. Experiments by M. Marage ihew that it. is practicable to gauge the acoustic proper- ties of any public hall, and to direct each speaker Low to use the voice to the best ad- vantage. It was found that in a hall where a regular continued sound is produced, there may be heard the primary wave from the source; many diffuse waves returned from the walls, producing resonance; and waves- regularly reflected, giving distinct echoes. The duration of the resonance sound deter- mines whether the acoustic properties are good or bad, the satisfactory condition being where the resonance is sufficiently short to reinforce the sound that produces it without- interfering with the following one. His vowel siren has been used by Marage in studying the resonance sound, and the natural voice has been thus replaced by a. mechanical vibration whose pitch, intensity- and quality, can be determined exactly.

CONCRETE AND STEEL. The engineering experiment station in con- nection with the University of Illinois is con- stantly publishing the result of some useful work. Amongst other things it has presented to the world the result of a series of tests, which extended over a period of two years. Peculiarly enough, although reinforced con- crete is used greatly in building work, yet we, have very little data concerning its real pro- perties. We now know something of the- shearing strength of concrete, as well as the strength of the bond between the concrete and steel. With regard to the test on the concrete, it was decided to subject the mate- rial to a "punching test," which simply means that a hole was punched in a concrete plate or block. These punching tests were made on blocks 13in. square. The specimen was placed on a bed-plate lin. thick, with an opening 6in. in diameter in the centre. A spherical bearing block was used to apply the load, and a die, which was nino in diameter, was used as the punching tool. Ihe investigators say that it is difficult to devise a form of test specimen and a method of testing which will satisfactorily deter- mine the resistance of concrete to shear." The trouble is that it is very difficult indeed to secure an even distribution of the shear. Complications are formed by the compres- sive, tensile, and bursting stresses developed.

HINTS FOR THE HOME. MILK AN IDEAL FOOD. I Milk is, in itself, a perfect food; that ii, it contains all the elements necessary to sustain life and to build up and repair the bodily tissues. As it is a food, it should not be con- sidered as a beverage, to be used as such in addition to solid foods. When so used, says the Mark Lane Express, it adds to the tax made upon the digestive organs. Many per- sons who say they cannot take milk be- cause they drink it at meals, as if it were water', would find that no disagreeable effect would follow when used in place of food and got as a food accompaniment. To digest milk easily it should be slowly sipped. When a glassful is taken at a gulp or two it coagulates in large curds in the stomach these being very dense, are digested with difficulty by the gastric juice. On the I other hand, when sipped slowlyj the curds are thoroughly mixed with the digestive fluids; consequently they are readily acted apon and easily digested. The Department of Agriculture tells us that a quart of milk equals in nutritive value three-quarters of a pound of beef; but the adult finds that the beef enables him to work better and stays by him longer. For children, however, it makes an ideal food. When for any reason it causes trouble it should be diluted with oatmeal or I barley water. This will, in nearly all cases (unless in sickness), dispel digestive difficul- ties traceable to milk. To scald milk, place the required amount in the inner vessel of a double boiler; partly fill the outer vessel with hot water, cover, and place on the fire. By the time the water boilfl rapidly the milk will be at the scalding point, and should be used at once.

I LABOUR SAVERS. Mothers should train both boys and girla to help in the home work. Give children their share in the daily duties, and they will become interested in all the arts of domesticity. The duties should be varied as much as possible, and all successes should receive the encouragement of generous praise. All children can thus learn the happiness that comes from feeling they are important factors in the home.

SLEEPING ALONE. Give the baby and each child a bed to itself. Have the sleeping-room cool and clean. See that the clothing of the little sleeper is loose at the neck, waist, and arms, and keep its head uncovered. If there is any- thing young animals cannot do without it is fresh air, and babies get less than any other class. Through the pores of the skin the body is continually throwing off poisonous vapours. If the head is covered with the bed-clothing the unfortunate infant will be breathing bad air. Fashion or no fashion, it is a cruel shame to trim or starch baby's clothing. The average child suffers from over- feeding and over-dressing. Let it learn to be a trifle hungry. Half the time the child cries it wants fresh air or fresh water. Wiping the lips of a crying baby with cool Water will often soothe and refresh it.

HOME LIFE. We have only one life to live; books, friends, good food, good beds, the whole- some influences of a world beyond our daily routine, help to make it sweet and pleasant, and we should get all we can of them, for our own strength and enlargement. A happy home life ia worth more to boys and girls than any number of acres or bank stock, which, indeed, have been the ruin of many lives of fairest promise. Make work enjoyable by associating it with all the good things it brings, but do not render the very thought of it intolerable, by attaching to rt only memories of privation, discomfort, ab- sence of companionship, and dense ignor- ance of what the rest of the world is doing. Let our homee be such as dwellers therein shall always, afar or near, be thankful for having known, and in them grown into help- ful manhood And womanhood.

'CARE OF BOOTS. Kerosene oil is invaluable as a means of preventing kid boots from becoming hard after they have been subjected to a severe wetting. Nothing is more painful to a child's feet than stiff leather, especially wheirthe boots are inclined to be too small. When they have 'been removed from the feet the damp leather should first 'be wiped with a soft cloth, then the kerosene should be ap- plied by means of a piece of flannel, and a good kid dressing afterwards rubbed over the 'boots, and polishing effected in the ,usual way..

EATING THE 'CRUSTS. If -a mother persists in eating the crusts and building up fires and taking the butt- ,end of every household responsibility and wearing iold clothes, she may keep on doing it to the end, with little thanks and pro- bably, finally, the realisation that she has < fostered selfish and unlovely traits in her family. Her daughters will in their turn make poorer wives and mothers, her sons Ulore-selfish and thoughtless husbands for never having been taught to consider her comfort sometimes before their own. She rhotild-train the children, boys as well as girls, to be helpful and handy; and let even father take an occasional turn at the hwise- hold mill, then he will learn which bearings are 6tiff and need oiling with some new conveniences, and not allow the family to get the idea that she is BO wedded to the daily round of household tasKs that she is Î never willing to lay dome the broosi and dish-cloth.

TO BRIGHTEN COLOURS. Artificial flowers soon lose their colours in the bright sunshine, but they can easily be renovated by the use of aniline inks, which < slightly stiffen the 'petals as well as oalour- ing them. The ink must be diluted with j water, and the flowers dipped in as many :times as is necessary, drying after each time, until the desired shade is reached. Separate the petals with a hatpin, that each may be coloured. Common red ink diluted with water gives a. neat shrimp pink, and faded chrysantheraums are lovely wrfcen renewed by this method. They should lightly sh&ken from time to time when drying, to keep the fluffiness of the flower. Ordinary purple ink may be used .f or violets that have powntoo pale.

COUNTY CRICKET. DENBIGHSHIRE V. CARNARVONSHIRE. A BRILLIANT WIN FOB DENBIGHSHIRE. Denbighshire played their fourth County Cricket Mateh, and scored their fourth success this season, on Monday and Tuesday last. The excellent ground of the Vale of Clwyd Crioket Club had %een chosen for the match, and, the wicket being in perfect condition, an excellent game was witnessed. Carnarvonshire arrived with four men short, but excellent subctitutea were found in J Moreton, R Morris Evans, R B Searell, and J Rice Jones. Denbigh. shire won the toss, and Mr C 0 Mott, the Denbighshire captain, decided te bat first, and sent in S C Richards and H J Howell Evans to open the innings. The Carnarvon- shire attack being opened by H F D Turner and R M Evans. The batsmen soon got going, and runs came merrily till Howell Evans was bowled by R M Evans when the total was 15. TOO Cole filled the vacancy, and gave one or two rather difficult chances before opening his aceount, but afterwards settled down to some excellent J cricket, scoring freely and hitting powerfully. His partner- ship with Richards realised 148, at which total Richards feU to a very difficult catch by Cousins off Turner. R A Jones came in next, but was caught after making a single, while Cole added 10 to bin total. Cole was then joined by his Captain, and the pair played finely. Boundary hits were often made, and the partnership realised 86 when Mott fell to a brilliant catch by Andrews off Llewelyn Evans, Mott then being 47, having hit seven 4's, two 3's, and two 2's Dr Crace Calvert came in next, and after hitting a single was caught at point by Turner off Llewelyn Evans. The ball swerved up from Dr Calvert's bat, and the fieldsman had great difficulty in holding it, which he did masterfully, and was loudly cheered. A N Wills next joined Cole, but before a run had been added Cole was bowled by the Rev D Alban Lloyd after a brilliant innings of 150, in the course of which he hit sixteen 4's, five 3's, and twenty-one 2's. His display was indeed on excellent one, and he was undoubtedly the saviour of his side. Wills hit up 28 before being bowled by Lloyd, while Bowler, who filled Cole's place, was taken behind the wicket before scoring. G Potts had one or two" lives before scoring, Hindley missing a difficult catch and Llewelyn Evans a hot return. The whole side were out soon after tea for 301.

Turner filled the vacancy, and the batsmen scored 21 more runs before stumps were drawn. The total score then was 78, of which Moreton claimed 43 and Turner 9. On resuming on Tuesday the overnight not- outs, to the bowling of Cole and Howell Evans, scored another 37 runs, when Moreton was bowled by Bowler. His total of 50 was an excellent one, and in the course of which he hit four 4's and too 2's. L V Cousins then came in, and gave an admirablo display of cricket. He witnessed the dismissal of his side in quick succession, and at the fall of the last wicket at 227, soon after lunch, carried out his bat for an excellent 70. A nice bit of work, and an excellent throw by Stevens caused the dismissal of Rice Jones. The Carnarvonshire wickets fell as follows: 123456789 10 57 115 119 155 186 196 212 213 214 227 Denbighshire commenced thoir second venture at once, C C Mott and T G 0 Cole batting to the bowling of Turner and R M Evans. When the score was 11 Cole gave a hot return, which the bowler held well. Dr Calvert came in and started to soore beautifully, and with his captain 4arried the total to 58, when Mott was caught close to the boundary by Hindley. H T Stevens filled the break, but Dr Calvert was clean bowled in playing forward to a ball from R M Evans after only one more run being added. R A Jones then came in, and the fourth wicket fell at 111, of which his contribution was 24. The Rev D J Bowen filled the vacancy, and he and Stevens carried the score to 143, at which the captain declared the innings closed. H S Stevens (50) and D J Bowen (9) being not out.

Sanitation at St Asaph. RURAL COUNCIL AND MEDICAL OFFICER. GOVERNMENT INSPECTION OF d THE DISTRICT, At their meeting on Friday, the St Asaph (Flint) Rural District Council, received a letter from the Local Govern- ment Board stating that the Board had decided to send down an inspector to report on the sanitary condition of the district with regard to which the Council are at variance with their medical officer. At the same meeting the Council re- ceived a supplemental report from the officer, whose annual report was, in the opinion of the Council, calculated to blacken the district, as undeservedly insanitary, and which gave the Council no credit for the extensive work they claim to have carried out as the sanitary authority. The Council at their last meeting asked for the supplemental report jiving particulars of their work. In the report the medical officer (Dr Lloyd Roberts, of Colwyn Bay) said that luring the year the inspectors made 1.016 risits of inspection, finding 72 nuisances :o report. Of these 64 were abated on lemand, and that 485 letters had been sent to owners or occupiers. He had nspected 57 workshops, finding a want of jleanlicess in two, which was remedied at jncc. Ia his department the number of notifiable cases of disease included six sases diphtheria, five at Dyserth and one it Cwm. He gave the Council credit for laving fully attended to the work of fenerally supervising and inspecting the listrict, but said that it was not that work vas not done, as the number of visits would show, but that so little tangible or permanent result followed it. He insisted )n the desirability of the Council altering ;heir dceision with regard to scavenging populous parts of the district, and of using water in connection with the removal of refuse. Mr W Conwy B"ll moved that the Council instruct their officials to render the Local Government Board inspector every assistance in their power. On their loctor's own report it was now shown that they had paid 1,016 visits of inspection, and had generally done all they could in the interest of the sanitation of the district. Out of 57 workshops inspected only two had been found at fault, and the whole report showed that instead of their district being insanitary in the whole of Wales. Rhuddlan had been made a but" in the papers recently as an insanitary town, as part of the district, but he had some figures that would effectually dispose of that allegation. The average attendance at the day schools for the past two years was 94.6, one of the highest in the county. Anyone who knew anything about sanita- tion-and their doctor ought to know it- knew that if there was anything wrong with a town the children were the first to show it. There "schools had not been closed on account of disease for the past ten years, with the exception of a fortnight lust year for influenza. Further than that they could show more old people, many of them over eighty years of age, than any other town in the county of 1 liut. They knew that their district was not perfect. It was far from that, but no rural council bad done more for sanitation than they had. Why they had been saddled with all that bother was a mystery to him. The doctor himself could only quote sevon notifications of infectious disease, yet he came there and said the district was insanitary. He hoped the statement would ba made public (hear, hear). He called it a crying dis- grace on the doctor, the way he had saddled them with all their trouble during the past two months. He personally hoped thia Local Government Board Inspector would come down and read the first report oi the, doctor and then very carefully study the. second. The doctor complained very, seriously about the dairies and cowsheds, in the first report, but he had no cosaypliainfc to make in the second. He had no gri$T%! ance or feeling against the doctor ill any way, and only thought that he had written his first report from a want of thought without thinking what he was writing-, or taking any trouble to ascertain the correct- ness of his report. The second report bore out what he (Mr Bell) had said all along. If a general inspection was made of the whole of the county of Flint that Council would come out on top, and it was a great shame that they should have been saddled with all that trouble (hear, hear). Mr Ll B Evans seconded the resolution, and said he was very glad that the Local Government Board was sending a medical man down. They were not frightened of any independent inspection. He had said before that the whole trouble arose from the fact that their doctor had a very un- happy way of expressing himself, and in his second report had done all he could to put himself right. Mr Edwin Morgan agreed that it Was a good thing that the inspector was coming down. He felt that they had a legitimate grievance on account of the doctor's first report, for they had sat there hour after hour going into sanitary matters and then were described as though they had taken no interest in it and no notice when matters were reported to them. Mr Conwy Bell said the reason he gave his casting vote against the proposal to ask the Local Government Board to send down an inspector at the last meeting was that he did not see why they should be blackened in that way any more than any other district in the county. Mr Edwin Morgan said Mr Bell did not vote at all at the last meeting on the question of inviting the Local Government Board to interfere in the first instance. The Clerk said he did not record Mr Bell's vote in the ohair as a casting vote. because of the fact that he did not vote in the original division. The resolution was carried without a vote.
