An astonishing decrease in the tensile strength and ductility of bronze at tempera tires above 400 deg. F. has been reported by Prof. C. Báob, of Stuttgart.

The "pollen theory" of hay fevor has been proven by two German investigators to be untenable. The number of pollen particles in the air during the hay fever sasson is very small, an average of 25 to each subic metre, and the nasal and throat secretions of hay fever patients allow less pollen than those of healthy persous. Very few micro-organisms appear in the pallen. As to the bacteria that may excite hay fever Httle or nothing was learned, and it is. still uncertain how sach germs may be transmitted.
