WOELD-MAKING DISCOVERY.
Whatever may be the cause of the surors ha. roslis, its height does not appear to be limited by the atmosphere. The rays sometimes tonch the earth in Scudinaria, coming between the observer and elevated places, but Flogol thirty years ago obtained data showing that a large aurera soon in Northorn Germany must have had a height of 60 miles, and that the rays often rise to 450 miles, their points glowing with red light. From observations of an surors of September, 1898, Herr Schaper has made now determinations. It is now calculated that an immense red stripa, observed over a large part of Northern Germany, was more than 40 miles bigh, and it must have stretched from Liverpool to Liban, in Russia. A long red band of rays soon simultaneously at Lubeck and Hirschberg, in Silesia, reached a height of 500 miles; while another band was 100 miles high. The light fiskered very much, and one portion of the rays moved at a rate of more than 40 miles a recond.

The great auk once resorted to the island, but the most interesting birds now are probably the northern wren, the great northern diver, and the Iceland falcon. Singing birds are few.

The chestunt is of mach importance in France. The trao thrives in gravelly soil dr shale, a lime soil being fatal, and it is claimed that where it has been planted on the mountain sides the losses from inundations have greatly diminished. The chestnals form an important part of the daily food in many places. They ara boiled, pulverised, and eaten like mashed potatoes. They are much us by confectioners. and among the many large establishments is one at Lyons, employing 200 to 250 hands, that deals with over 25,000,000 pounds of the nuts annually. The peeled nuts are coated with syrup flavoured with Mexican vanilla, the work of preparation being continued day and night for three or four months in the year. The wood is strong, tenacious and durable, and in some places the trees are cultivated solely for the wood.
Nordenskjold's discovery that fresh water cau be had anywhere in Scandinavia at depths of 10 feet in Archean rocks has been been verified in 400 cases.
