Lamble stated that it can be ob- tained in the solid state ad a white amorphous powder, It is soluble in | tetrachloride, and trichlorethylene, but the ordinary varnish is a 10 per cent solution In benzine and solvent naph- | tha. This varnish dries quickly, leav- ing a colorless, transparent film. The very thin film has been immersed for days in caustic potash, caustic soda, ammonia and the mineral acids--hy- drochlorie, nitric and sulphuric--with- out sign of decompésition, and it is quite Insoluble in alcohol, ether, petro- leum oils, and pdrafin. Being also highly insulating and very adhesive. duroprene is adapted for a wide range of uses. It serves as anti-corrosive varnish or paint, for lining steel pe- troleum tanks, and wooden alcohol vats, for building up electrical con- densers, as colorless lacquer for bright metal work, and as a gas-tight cement.

The Inventor, who Is an Englishwoman, has given public demonstrations in London with glass models of dugouts and tunnels frem which the fan readily expels the smoke. At one demonstration, Mrs. Ayrton, with a three-inch fan, sat at one end of a six-foot table while smoke poured forth from a funnel at the other end. The action of the miniature fan net 'only dispelled the smoke but quickly gained such control over it that it pre vented it from coming out of the fun- nel. The fan works on the hinge-and- light material. It has been used suc- cessfully in factories, theaters, mines and sewers.--Youtl's Companion. Alrplanes in Mining Operations. It is predicted that the airplane and the dirigible will prove a great stimulus to the mining industry in pre- sentiig a means of getting material are known to be rich with ore and which are at the present time inacces- sible.

BRIDGE The Estimated Cost of the » Work Will Be About $50,000. It is expected that the name of the contractor who will build .the overhead bridge for { Pacific Railway, which will do away with the diamond at a point west of the Grand Trunk outer station, where the C.P.R. an G.T.R. tracks cross, will be announced next week. During the past week a number of contractors have been in Montreal for the purpose, of looking over the plans and specifications. The esti- mated cost of the work will be about ($50,000 and it is expected that ths work will be under way in the very near future, At the present time, the track of the Canadian Pacific Rallway comes from the. north and runs parallél with thé Grand Trunk double track from a point near where the Perth road crosses the (Grand Trunk track to a short distance from .the dia- mond. The C. P. R. after crossing the diamond, comes into Kingston after crossing Montreal street. Tha C.P.R. engineers who drew up the plans have arranged that when the C.P.R. tracks reach the Perth road the new track will bear north for a short distance.and then take a slight incline to the Muth and then cross the Grand Trunk track at a point where there is a rock elit for a depth of twenty feet. It is the intention of the. C.P,R. to build a permanent bridge across this rock cut. The new C.P.R. track after ¢roesing this rock cut will join the old track at a point near Montreal street. It is understood that the total distance of the new track will be above two miles. The C.P.R. is call- ing for contractors to do all the work, with the exception of grading and putting down the steel, which will be done by the O.P.R. rodd gang. . The C.P.R. will have to purchase considerable, land for the extension work, It is stated that it is not likely that the C.P.R. will tear up all the old track after the new one is put down, as it will be very useful for a short siding.
