Clover* mill Shamrock.
English clovers are Irish shamrock.
Perhaps no greater myth exists than dial
relating to the shamrock. St. Patriot
would find clover in almost all parts ol
Ireland, as he would in England, and
it was a fitting emblem at the Trinity.
Consequently there is little doubt that
he used it us ati illustration. How the
little Action that it is a distinct pluut
and will grow only in Ireland has been
maintained so loug seems incompre
hensible unless it is due to the pecul
iarity of Englishmen when regarding
most things Irish. It is almost us ab
surd as regarding Lever’s characters as
typical of the Irishman of today, prob
ably of any day, us he appears to have
hud us great a genius in inventing char
acters as in inventing stories. Ireland
largely owes its clovers and shamrocks
to its limestone. Around Dublin, where
limestone is not very prevalent, the in
ferior type of clover, the yellow trefoil,
is commonly employed as a badge, its
convenient shape, owing to its top root,
rendering it convenient us u buttonhole
flower.
Ill limestone districts the white elo
ver is more commonly used, though
there is no definite rule, us is shown by
the specimens collected by natives in
all parts of Ireland now to be seen In the
Dublin museum. These specimens were
allowed to go to flower, and four dis
tinct varieties of clover are represented,
each frequently. Even the largo red
clover is included. There is no other
plant shown, because them is no other
sliumrtxik. The myth is destroyed, but
the clovers remain, and it is due to
their presence that the Irish postures are
so rich and so valuable for grazing.
They have accumulated fertility, and
they have done so in England. There
fore their presence in lawns must not
he regarded us prejudicial. —London

Tho result* of tho experiments in
light visibility conducted by the inter
national committee on behalf of the
governments of the United Htutes, Ger
many and the Netherlands have been
handed in. The German section gave a*
the distance at which u light, of 1 can
dle power became visible 1.40 miles for
a dark, char night, and 1 mile for a
rainy night. The American experi
ment* *how that a light of one caudle
power is visible at 1 mile and one of
three candle power is plainly vi*ible at
2 mile*. A 10 candle power light wa*
sec-u with a binocular at 4 miles, one of
22 at 5 mile*, though faintly, uud one
of 83 candle* at the nuiuo distance with
out difficulty.
To be on the »ufu side the experiment*
were made with green light, u* it has
been conclusively proved that if a light
of that color fill* the required tests a
red light of the same intensity will
more than do no.
It wa* fonnd that the caudle power
of green light which remained visible
at 1, 2, 3 and 4 mile* was 2, 1G, G1 and
10*1 respectively. It wus noticed, how
ever, that great care hud to be exercised
in the selection of the shade of tho col
or, so as to give tho minimum interfer
ence with the intensity of the light.
Tbo shade adopted is a clear blue green.
Yellow and grass green should not bo
employed. The tests may be of interest
to railroad men and seamen.—Progress

An Imitative Monkey.
One of the drollest instances of the
| monkey’s keenness of observation and
power of mimicry that we have met
with is the following: A retired ad mi'
ml and his wife living at Cheltenham
had a favorite monkey. One day tho
lady, beating a strange noise in tho
dining room, looked in to what it
was. Tho sight which met her e-yes was
a ludicrous ono. Heated in the artn
Vbair, with the admiral’s smoking cap
on his head and the admiral’s specta
cles on his nose, was the monkey, and
in his hand was tho open newspaper,
which he shook and patted, while ho
I Jabbered and gesticulated witli great
emphasis at the eat, which lay blinking
I on the hearth mg. It wail a clever and
oarefnlly studied imitation of tho testy
old admiral's tone ami manner when ;
reading to his wife some passage from
the new. paper which excited iiis wrath ,
) or indignation.
It is strange that so little attempt is
I made to utilize this strong imitative j
faculty in monkeys. They might easily !
| be trained to perform as athletes and
acrobats. Homo 00 years ago an Ituliun !
count, who had a villa on the shore of ,
Luke Albano, kept u monkey which ho !
hud taught both to row and sail a small
skiff. Tho monkey used to navigate this
tiny craft with great skill, but unfor
tunately one day, when climbing the
mast, lie capsized tho boat and was
drowned. As Jockeys, monkeys might
surely be made useful and would fulfil
every purpose for which the manikins
who ride on race horses are artificially
stunted and sweated.—Chambers’ Jour
nal.
Lighthouse Light*.
Ill a Hi re s of paper* contributed to
Engineering by Hu iiiche Freller on
lighthouse* in Europe tbe remarkable
Htutemeut i* made that (he Juminoua
range of a iiglit of 600,000 candle pow
er iu tlie Mediterranean (44 miles) is
equal to that of 6,000,000 caudle* iu the
channel—equal tea ratio of oue to ten—
hence, it 1* udded, that, with the excep
tion of the electric Hashing light of
Planter, near Marseilles, of 000,000 i
candle power, the most powerful rain- 1
crul oil ligiits recently installed on the
French, Corsican, Algerian and Tunis- j
Ian coasts of the Mediterranean do not
exceed 156,000 candle power, having a j
luminous runge of about 80 miles in av- j
erago weather. On tho other band, in J
the channel and in the bay of Biscay
the largest mineral oil lights have lu
minous powers up to about 200,000,
and the electric lighting Hush lights up
to 22,600,000 and 87,600,000 candles.
Further, the maximum light of French
lighthouse towers—that is, the height of
tlie focus above ground—varies from 1
about 60 to 70 meters, but some towers
are, of course, on very elevated posi
tions, ho that, taking the height of tbe
focu* above the hcu level, the highest
light, that of Cape Bream, is 751 feet
above the high water hcu level, while
it* luminouH power is 6,000 candles and
its luminous runge 26 miles. This light
iH an oil light, and the geographical
range, or direct visibility of such lights |
on high elevations, is usually in excess
of their luminous ranee, the reverse of *
this, however, being commonly the case 1
with electric coast lights.
Machinery Lnbrloatlon.
Tho results of some valuable experi
ments on tbe lubrication of machinery
bearings buve been set forth by Mr.
Dewrance in an address before the Civil
Engineers’ institute, London. His ob
servations show tbat olive oil becomes
black aud thick after passing through
tho bearings several times. This oil,
aftor filtration, was composed of 1C per
cent of oleate of lead, 9.67 per cent of
oleate of acid and 74.02 per cent of
olive oil aud glycerin, the oleate acid
in the olive oil appearing to attack
lead, zlno and copper with great activi
ty. Thus dmks of metals used in the
manufacture of bearings were immersed
iu oleute acid, occasionally drawn up
out of the acid so as to be exposed to
tbe air. Lead and zinc rapidly corroded
away, copper was corroded to a less ex
tent, while tiu and antimony were not
appreciably affected. In regard to the
compressibility of alloys, it is suggested
by this authority that no alloy be used
uutil it is satisfactorily demonstrated
that its point of first yield is consider
ably above the greatest load or shock to
which it will be subjected in use. Iu
testiug the effect upon soft uietal bear
ings when the shaft sustained a heavy
pressure a piece of iron was found to
leave no mark upon u surface softer
| than itself.
