The Dalles Daily Chronicle. SCIENCE AND INDUSTRY. A coal pas explosion cannot occur until there are six parts of pas in every 100 of the air in the room; but four per cent, of coal pat will cause suffocation. The meteorite which fell at Porto Alere. llrnil. has now been measured and the results are most astonishing. Tl measures .1 feet from the base and is Sr. feet high. The manufacture of carbon for use in electric lighting and for other pur poses has grown to be a great indus try in the West Virginia gas belt. The processes require great heat. Lyman B. (JoiT, a manufacturer of Pawtucket, K. I., has organized a "Hoys' Club" which has a nightly at tendance of 300, and he has deoided to provide it with permanent quarters at a cost of $72,000. A process for rerolling steel rails has been in usage in the United States ior several years. Worn-out rails are reheated and rerolled, and are stated to be superior for wear in that form to the rails when first made. The in ch strv has grown rapidly. In Russia oil holds absolute sway. And from Baku to Nishni Novgorod petroleum finds favor 00 railways and steamships alike. For 2,000 miles nlong the Volga boata ply from north to south propelhjj by means of oil, of which 8,000,000 tons is used in Russia .alone. In the operation of dredging navi gable channels at the mouth of the Moruya and Shoalhaven rivers, in New South Wales, it was discovered that the mud contained gold dust. An au tomatic gold saver was then attached to the dumping machinery, and it is estimated that enough gold will thus te obtained to defray the expenses of keeping the channels open. According to 1'rof. Spalding, the white pine tree seldom attains a height greater than 160 feet or a diameter of more than 40 inches. A tree of this variety once measured by the division of forestry of the department of agri culture was 170 feet tall and 48 inches thick. That tre.- was 4H0 years old. It was a little sapling 60 years before Columbus sailed from I'alos. , TRICKS WITH FLOWERS. Color Schemes Unknown In th Floral World Produced ly the Ilea Of Chemicals. The chemical expert has by no means a monopoly of pretty experiments evolving marvelous color schemes hitherto unknown in the floral world. One artist suggests a simple and in teresting experiment which is espe cially successful with pausies, and which a child' may easily perform. A saucer, a little ammonia, a flower or two, and a glass tumbler are all the implements needed Co enable one to present a bunch of exquisite green pan lias to the uninitiated. Such a gift is sure to awaken much enthusiasm and test the ability of the recipient to take a joke, says a New York ex change. The viola tribe is easily influenced by the application of chemicals to the soil or by atmospheric conditions, and hence is particularly susceptible to the fumes of ammonia. A little of the liquid poured into a saucer, with a bit of paper laid over it, on which to rest the tiowers, acts very quickly on the chlorophyll, or coloring matter, when the fumes the confined by a tumbler. The reason is this: Chloro phyll is in its nature acid. The fumes of ammonia, jii the other hand, are alkaline, an excels of which first neu tralizes the acid present in the fresh Bower, and then changes it to an alka li. The effect of the alkali varies, of course, according to the predominat ing color of the subject. Kepeated experiments showa marked tendency toward green, simply be cause purple and blue are standard colors among violas and are thus af fected. A few interesting color changes are: Shaded purple with white edge is converted into green, with blue vein ings and yellow border; maroon striped, dark green and blue; pale blue becomes pale green; white always takes on a yellow tint, and a pretty cerise comes out in vivid blue. Yellow is unaffected. Sweet teas are also fertile subjects, and pung.-iU fumes develop the unex pected with a rapidity that an expert hybridizer might envy. Some wonder ful symphonies in green are evolved from pink and lavender creations. Ammonia cannot be said to improve nasturtiums, but surely produces cu rious freaks. Yellow blotched red be comes yellow blotched bronze green, und a purely flame red a spotted dark green. There is, of course, DO permanency in colors thus enforced. The most won derful symphonies will hold their own for a time, but if placed in water in the open air they will return to nor mal coloring in a few hours. PLANS A HUSBAND BOUNTY. JiiltMe Uoveriiutent frayuiM Aswanl UtftS itu Marry Vol- to Muidentt of Japan who succeed in interesting .Young Japanese atudeute long enough to induce them to get .r.nrried will be rewarded in the near future with matrimonial dowries by the mikado's government if the plans of leading Japanese statesmen prove as successful as expected, according to Secretary Yomnm, of the Japan esc consulate in Chicago, reports the ( nromcle. What led the secretary to make the announcement as to the prospective husband bounty bill was the pub lished account of the lecture in which 1'rof. Starr, of the University of Chi cago, made the sensationa1 state ment before his class: in anthropoid og that the marvelous advance of the Japanese in the learning and civ ilization of the western countries had proved too rapid ami was making them the victims of an epidemic of brain fever that threatened their ex tinction as a nation. "Statistics show that students in Japan arc affected more by eye trou bles from overstudy than by brain fever," said Secretary Yomma. "It is true that our young men are very studious, but our young women are not expected to be scholars. They are encouraged in the cultivation of feminine graces and charms, and it is becoming a fad with some of our statesmen to advocate a liberal mar riage bounty for the maiden who proves herself sufficient ly fascinating to cause a young man at college to forsake his books long enough to get married."
