the flow of helium into the eir from springe is from 3,00 to 6,000 times more than can be accounted for by the winuts quantity dissolved by falling rain, yet the relative quantity of helium in the atmosphere does not appear to increase. Helium, therefore, must be escaping at a rate equal to its influx. Thecrotically, the conditions under which the flights of gaseous molecules take place in the upper atmosphere sufficiently explain the outflow, as it would only be necessary for the chance of escape of each molecule to occur once in several days in order to account for the amount received by the atmosphere from the earth.

The gliding boat of Count de Lamberg which has given such surprising results on the Seing is viable only in the absence of all ware motion
It consists of two skifte, ash 18 feet long, which are coupled side by side, and which have flat bottoms, with a series of fire transverse planes slanting downward from fore to sit at an angle of about 30 degrees. As the propeller which is between the two sterns-drives the boat forward, the inclined planes raise the vessel to the surface, over which it glides. With a metor of 14 horse-power, a speed of 17 to 20 miles an hour was reached, u rate that ordinarity requires two or three times as much power.
