In the novel telephonic experiments of Prof. W. Potkert, of Brunswick, Germanj, magnets, alternating current transformers und eren dynamics have been made to talk, without the of vibrating plates or membranes. A oore of scft iron enclosed in a coil in a microphone circuit was at the same time surrounded by second coil of wire traversed by direct current, and was thus kept constantly magnetized while subjected to the feeble variations of the micro phone circuit. Words spoken into the microphone were reproduced by the magnetized iron, so loudly as to be liard neveral yards. Trying the dynamo, the field magnets ware oxitol by only).aspecial coutinnons current, and the microphone

estimates, it would do work equivalent to that of a steam engine of half a million horse-power, working day and night. Wind turbines can be Bad for many purposes, are simple to erect, and do not usually require towers more than 50 feet high. In Germany a wind power electric generating equipment has been brought out. No attention is needed except to reduce the area of the wind wheel in storms; a storage hat. tery stores the excess current from the dynamo until needed, and a special regulator automatio ally koops at constant pressure the current supied for house-lighting or driving small farm or other machines.
Besides a striking improvement iù stature and health, boys taken from London streets for the British navy have shown a remarkable change in the shape and expression of the face.

The theory that a large comet eallided with,
the earth just 880 years ago appears to Prof.
W. N. Pickering us quite plausible. Geologista reached the conclusion that the now-famous crater near Coon-Butto, Arizona, is the scar-left: by a great fall of meteoric matter, and the fact that seven of the ton largest known meteorites have been found within 900 miles of this place suggests that all have been scattered fragments from the same fall. They are similar muasser of iron al nick weighing from thrge to twenty tous.euchi, Geological evidence at Coon Butte indicates that the collision occurred Jess than 500 years ago, and stapted cedars growing in the crater show by their annual rings that the time must have been at least 700 years ago. Annals of Cairo, Egypt, seem to place the date in August 1029... The record mentions a great metseric shower, such is might be witnessed over the earth on collision with a comet, and there was not only a brilliant lighi but a great zoise, in contrast with the stillness of other meteoric showers that have been known. -

The threaded end of the magnet is adapted to receive terminals of shapes varied to suit special- cases. Mounted on ball bearings, the magnet can be moved easily-in-any-direction-and-a- special form-for reclining patients is geared so as to be tilted by a hand crank. A rheostat raries the strength of the magnet, which, at the maximum, exerts a pull of 30 pounds per square inch at a distance of one inch.

and Mestre. Thos, Cook & Bon. An old error is the idea that the poisin is only fatal," when it is taken into the veins. When taken into the stomach in sufficient duses, its action is very powerful, and ucking poison from a bite is not without serious danger. Another common mistake is the belief that snakes are immune to the poison of other malos. Dr. Calmetto's experiments have shown that rattlesnake poison will kill cobras, and that it is only bites from their own species that snakes can bear without injury. If injected promptly certain chemicals such as perman ganate of potassium, chloride of gold, chloride of lime and chromie scfd-havo considerable value ar-antidotes. The only really effective remedy, however, has proven to be a serum produced by aticaesive inenaltions of rabbits, guinea pigs, or, preferably, horses, and the offciency of this is almost certain if used within two hours after
the bite.
