He says that, owing to disquieting rumours, Mr. Heki, Japanese Consul in Chili, recently proceeded to Peru and held an investigation. The result was that, with the sreeption of 11 invalida, all the Japanese immigrants were found to be well and happy. were made for the repatriation of those 11, but at the last moment two of them declared them. selves sufficiently recovered to remain. The Captain goes on to say that, although the Chinese immigrants em disliked and distrusted, the Japanese are very popular and their future looks very bright.
Arrangements
In the unique and advanced müssum idea of Dr. Goldsclunit of Brussels, the aim is to go beyond inert models and bring the public into contact with science in action, inviting visitors to test and use spparatus instead of labeling it Don't handle. His first efforts have been applied to a popular electrical laboratory. This is divided into graded sections, so that the visitor may first experiment with sealing wax or mag- nets, thou with electric generators and motors, pussing further along to tubes in which he may show cathode rays and other electrical discharges aud the effects-of-radium, and rescking finally the instruments for precise measuremonts, in a section where competent assistants perform the teste, although sufficiently trained visitors are permitted to use the instruments.. Some of the more delicate apparatas is kept under glass, leaving exposed only such parte as must be handled in making the experiments. There is

In factories where needles are made, the grindstones throw off great quantities of minute steel particles, with which the air becomes heavily charged, although the dust is too fine to be perceptible to the eye. Breathing the dust shows nc immediate effect, but gradually sets up irritation, usually ending in pulmonary consumption, and formerly workmen almost all died before the age of forty. Ineffective attempts were made to screen the air by gauza or linen guards for nese and mouth. At last the use of the magast was suggested, and now masks of magnetized steel wire ace worn by workmen, and effectually remove the metal dast before the air is breathed.
