The simple apparatus with which Prof. A. L. Metz, of Tulay Uaiversity, produces air-ios
consists of a. test-tube a little more than an inch in diameter and 18 inches long, with a cork provided with a bant, glass tube, and s vam pamp. Liquid air is turned into the tost-tube until it is two-thirds full, when con nection is made with the pamp. The air boils and bubbles, the temperature falling rapidly under the rapid evaporation, and in a few mo- mente lamp of solid air about an inch in diameter remains in the bottom of the tube. In open air this block of air-ice lasts about 15 zinates.
Natural electricity is thought by M. Berthe- lot to have rauchsffect on plants. His experi- monts partly on a tower 90 feat high, lead him to conclude that free nitrogen is important to plant-life, that atmospheric electricity increases the absorption of nitrogen, and that vegetables are obtained in high places withont. maanra through the greater tepsion of the electricity.
