HENS FOR WINTER.
In its ten years of effort to increase the winter laying of hens Macdonald College, Montreal, has accustomed hardy breeds, lite Plymouth Rocks, to scratch in snow and obtain their food by scratching all day in a foot of straw covering the yards. The active exercis prevents sconmulation of fat. The hens and their progeny live in unheated houses, and with good feeding average 200 eggs a year, nearly one-fourth of which are produced during the severe cold of the Canadian winter,

INDIGESTION.
Te is not the quantity of food we eat, but what we digest and assimilate that nourishes the body. When the stomach and organs of digestion and nutrition are diseased, and the food eaters is only imperfectly digested, there is loss of nutrition, and the body loses strength as a natural consequence. Not only does the system suffer from lack of nourishment, bat the derangement of the organs must Inevitably cause further complications.

SAND IN THE CANALS OF MARS.
In his novel theory of the canals of Mars and their change of colour, Dr. Arrhenius, Swedish physicist and Nobel prize-winner, contends that various conditions, including the thickness of the planet's crust, have caused the formation of parallel cracks, and that these have gradually filled with sand. Yarious salts in this sand assume different colours according to the degres of dampness of the soil at different reasons. The "melting snow" at the poles of Mars is regarded simply sa on evaporation and the damp ness produced temporarily darkens the cracks, The seas are believed to be shallow, containing much sand. The experiments of Dr. Arthonius have not favoured the idea of life on Mars, and he considers the climate too cold to support plants. or other organisms.

Zine has become unfitted for us on city roofs, on account of the increase of sulphuric acid in the air. Copper is costly, but a Berlin chemist has shown that it lasts 11 times as long as zino. in an acid-laden atmosphere, and its wasting is not only slow but even, instead of in spots, scon causing leaks. Lead, not much riore expensive in thin shoots than zine, is recommended as a metal enduring air-exposure a long time.
