It has been demon- strated that orologen and tornados have an elegi trial case, and reasons have.lv found for bo living that not only oyalanis and magnetis stormă and the northern lights, but also worth quakes and volcanio disturbauars have a period. city corresponding to a semi-zotation of the sun. ▲ copper sphere has been made to imitate, by the inhume of loob may- nate, the moons of, the planets sround the sua; and a hollow glaas «phêre bas buen rotated on its axis by discharges from no electric ms. obine. The appearance of the eclipsed sas showing the protaboraness and the corons, bas be reproduced by elvetric discbaceea agains disou of copper and tinfoil on muooked glass, plētos; and an exact copy of the spots und other' familiar characteristics of the aui's surfem has besa given by discharges on a belov sphere of emoked glass or on a silvered mirror.

Instantaneou - photographs have lately bosg taken which show that a jst of oxyges on passing though water is st ono split up lato bubbles; and that a jet of water inning into the air from a nozzle is at fret cylindrical and then broken up into drops, each of which is momentarily connected with the sylinder by s ligament. The photographing of a soap bubble in the act of branking, though this ocouples less than 1-10th of a second, is unde posible by dropping a weight from ou electro- magnet, thus breaking the film and curing the spark simultaneously.
