Diastase Is the ferment formed during the germination ol grain. It is a soluble nitrogenous ferment capable of copvertlng starch and dextrin Into sugar. From Japan comei a new process of preparing this substance. A variety of mushroom is cultivated on wheat bran. It throws out roots that gather to Itself tiny crystals of diastase and the entire plant seema to be a collector or generator of this ferment. A report of the experiments made with this method contains the "Diastase oi following statement: purity sufficient for commercial purposes was obtained in considerable quantities by washing the bran and afterward crystalizing the diastase from the water. Equal parts of diastase and crude wheat bran in the proportion of 10 per cent of prepared grain will produce. It is said, a more perfect conversion than 10 per cent of the best malt. The use of the bran for this purpose does not seem to Injure it for feeding, as cattle flourish on it. This dlasfaae will produce 20 per cent of alcohol in a suitable sugar solution."

It is built in sections, eight by nine feet in size, each section being hinged so as to fold into a space of eight by four and a half feet.

The breaking apparatus consists of a strong ring of filtered paper which keeps a spring intrusion. As soon as this paper becomes wet it loses it firmness, the spring jerks a little knife which cuts the neck of the bottle. The gas at once fills the India rubber sack.

The Popular Science News calls attention to a most remarkable account of the position of certain planets as located in "Gulliver's Travels." This book, written somewhere about 1726, contains the following words: "They spend the greater part of their lives in observing the celestial, bodies, which they do by the assistance of glasses far excelling ours , in goodness. They have likewise discovered two lesser stars, or satellites, which revolve about Mars, whereof the innermost is distant from the center of the primary planet exactly three of his diameters, and the outermost five. The former revolves in the space of ten hours and and a half, so the latter in twenty-on- e that the squares of their periodical times are very near in the same proportion with the cubes of their distance from the center of Mars." One hundred and fifty years before it was known that Mars had a satellite, when the theory that it had one would have been met with ridicule, or at the least, disbelief, the author of this remarkable book described the exact number of satellites that Mars possessed, told their location and unusual speed, also a peculiarity in, the relation of the speed to the central orb a peculiarity based upon no principles with which the astronomers are familiar. A careful study of the statements made by many writers of marked ability will almost inevitably" lead us to the conclusion that certain imaginative minds have the gift of prophecy, or, at all events, there may be flashes of divination possibly unsus. pected by the writers themselves. .
