A large steel sailing has re
cently been built in Norway among
whose fittings is a patent oil distributer,
by which oil can i>e thrown upon the
waves during severe Btorms. Within
the vessel there is an iron reservoir
from which a pipe extends alongside of
the vessel near the water line an I as
rl. se to the bow as possible A valve in
the pipe close to the reservoir regulates
the distribution of the oil. This is prob

throwing oil upon the waves lias been
made from the first designing and build

Enormous piles of bones are collected
at the railroad stations on the plains.
At s mie points they are 10 or 15 feet
high, and cover acres of ground. From
the thigh bones of cattle are made kuife
and parasol handles, fan sticks, aud the
handles of tooth and hair brushes,
while all the small bones are boiled and
then burned for lamp black. The mat
ter extracted by boiling is u<ed to make
glue, and n ucli of the so called “ bear's
grease” used in barbers’ shops is made
out of the marrow and fat of these
bones. Toe bone black is used l>v sugar
refiners to purify sugar, and commands a
good price. The popular idea that bones
are ground up as a fertilizer is erron

A proposal is now under consi lerai ion
for the prevention < t the smoke and fog
plague bv which L >udon is from time
to time nfil cted. The proposed remedy
is to turn a large portion of the coal sup
ply of the Yorkshire, 'Stafford tliire, and
South Wales coal fields into gas and con
vey it by pipes to Loudon; where its use
will be regulated somewhat after the
same manner as that adapted in Pitts
burg with natural gaa Such an abundant
supply of cheap fuel would mean a
saving to the city of over $100,000,000
annually, besides transforming the city
of smoke and fog into one of the health
iest places in the world.
A great feature in metal working, ac
cording to the American Manufacturer,
was recently accomplished at the
Superior Mill at Allegheny, Pa. The
feat consists of rolling a strip of steel for
a spring 6 inches wide, ± of an inch
thick, and 810 feet long. The work as
successfully performed ami the spring
properly tempered at the first effort.
That establishment has since received a
large order for such springs, which are
designed to enter into the construction
of a new car motor, for which a great
demand is anticipated. The order had
previously been tendered to all the large
English and continental works of
Europe, none of which would undertake
to do it
The railway tunnel under the St Clair
River, between Michigan and Canada,
was formed by driviug an iron cylinder
into the earth under the river bed and
pushing it forward as fast as the exca
vated earth could be removed. A three
mile tunnel has been constructed in
London on a similar plan, which is said
to have cost less and to have been
finislied in less time than would have
been required by tiie old methods. And
now comes a project to unite Newark
and New York by a 15 mile tunnel, in
which electricity is to be tiie sole motive
power. Tunnels will undoubtedly play
a prominent part in the systems of trans
portation in all large cities.
One of tiie latest applications of elec
tricity to deutistry has been exhibited
in E gland in the shape of an apparatus
destined to effect a revolution in certain
kinds of work, called the dental vibrator.
By means of this most simple apparatus
it is said that tiie extraction of teeth is
rendered actually as well as nominally
painless The principle of the operation
is that a rapidly interrupted current is
allowed to pas through the body of the
patient, who grasps a handle in each
hand, while a third connection is made
io tiie forceps, so that a shunt of the
current passes through the teeth. There
is little doubt that this method of ex
traction will supersede extractions under
the a; aesthetic* hitherto need.
