THE "KORDIG ESSENCE."
This is a new burning fluid discovered by M. Kordig. A Parisian chemist is ■ said to have filled a lamp with it, the wick, tossed the lighted lamp against the ceiling, covering himself and the bystanders with the flaming liquid, which much to the astonishment of those present proved entirely devoid of "heat or burning capacity." Tlio inventor soaked his handkerchief and hat in the mineral "essence" and set them on fire. The fluid burnt out leaving the hat and handkerchief uninjured. Several other experiments equally wonderful are said to have been made with this marvellous fluid that *' produces light without heat. We shall await a confirmation of the properties of this strange fluid with a good deal of interest.—San Francisco Bulletin.
