Something more might be done, however, than 18 done at present to keep away from the neighbourhood ruffians of the lass to which the perpetrator of Wednesday afternoon's assualt belongs.

PROF. W. Koppen of the German naval observatory has communicated to the Annalen dir Hydrographte und Maritivita Meteorologic the resulta of some very inter- esting experiments in quelling wares with oil. These experimenta were aimed not merely at testing the question of fast, but with the further object of determining the mode of operation. Laboratory experiments with artificially troublet waters led him to infer that a thin solation of soap would prove equally efficacious, and this view having been confirmed in the laboratory the experiment was tried on a larger scale in the Elbe, very weak solution of soup being employed. These experiments enfirméi RASPREREVADE the Professor's views as to superiority of the soap solution to say of the oils for the purpose is view, but the experiment has to
