THE GODS AND THE WEATHER IN INDIA.
Recent weather conditions all over India says a Caloutta paper, have been most unusual, Bain storms have been reported from overy part of the land, and the precipitation has been heavy everywhere, heavy enough in some cases to cause foods, and, in the Projah to hurt the whoat crop, which promised to be record ono alíkó' in yield and in price. Everywhere else the rain has been a blessing, for water supplies were already getting dangerously low and the land was dying of drought. Now the springs are replenished, the grass sprouts for the half starved cattle, and the crops may be saved. But the rain is not the light litful rain of April. It is as though we had found ourselves in Angust, in the midst of the mouston. The reason for this is stated by the meteorological people to be the late advance from tho Contral Asian high lands of the cold weather depression. It ought to have come down are months or so ago but evidently stopped to help in the Persian revolution. There is one man at least, however, who does not share this opinion. This is Pandit Dová Datts Nath, Agnihotri of Gaga and other places. The rains, he declares, are due directly All brokes, chafed and damaged Goods aromats, has a countersunk groove, in which is acgered by the growing irreligion and ears. to his prayers and intervention.

of the strangest uses to which artificial lighting is pat. At the London Zoological gardens, small birds pre-galled to breakfast two hours ahead of their al time by the turning on of the electric lights, and quails are fattenel for the London market in underground collars, which are lighted up many times a day to induce the birds to feed often and abundantly. At the Berlin zoological gardens a similar plan is adopted to make certain bars hibernate. For several weeks in fall their dens are brightly illuminated, they have a plentiful supply of their favorite food, and they out and grow very fat, so that, when winter comes and their dens are barricaded, they quietly go to sloep for two or three months, just as in their native haunts. In spring they awaken, jeun, hungry and healthy.
In a telephono receiver having no diaphragm, the poles of a permanent magnet are connected by a soft core in a continuous magnetic cirenit. The core is surrounded by a coil that connects to the transmitter and a suitable battery. The undulatory current from the transmitter affects the entire magnetic circuit, reproducing the voice distinctly, without the disturbances from the diaphragm. Sounds reproduced have filled 3 larga hall.
