~SCIENTIFIC MISCELLANY.
A NEW BEATING SERVICE, The newly-patented German substitute' for skating ice is bolid at summer temperaturos, and is claimed to provide a floor for rinks over which ion akaten slip as freely as over natural or azti- ficial les. The mixture includes magnesium obloride, alum, borin mid, sods and strontium ultrafe, with fats or oils that can be emulsified with water. The composition can be laid in tes several inoties thick over a concrets ar wood floor, the interstices being then filled with
which the surface is scraped. No expensive machinery is needed for maintquades as with artificial ice.

CONNECTED WEIGHTS AND MEASURES,
A scheme for a British scientifle system of weights and measures-embracing one of thebest features of the metric syslum-hes beon augroit- ed to Thomas Parker, of Ironbridge, Salep, by the striking discovery that 1 cabio isch of water at 56 deg. C. (122 deg. F.) weight exactly 250 British standard grains. Without change of values, therefore, he proposes to make 1 incht he unit of bngth, 1gubic inch the unit of volume, and 1 inch-weight" the unit of weight. A "Q" maight of † gráin is added for convenience. The avoirdupois pound being 7,000 grains, we bava: 1 "Q" squals 1 grain; 1,000's" equal the "inch waight"; 4" incb |weighta" equal 1,000 grains; 28 inch weights”

EUROPE'S WHITE COAL.
The actually available water power of contin- ental Europe is placed by a German estimate at 36,000,000 hores-power. Of this more than 14,000,000 is in Sweden and Norway, 6,000,000 in Austria-Hungary, and 5,500,000 each, in France and Italy.
A NEW VIEW OF MAGNÉTIĆ. STORKS. The theory that sunspot activity sata up magnetic storms on the earth by a bombardment of negatively charged electrified particles is not confirmed by Dr. L. A. Baner, who finds instead that Roentgen and ultra-violet rays from the nun give increased activity to earth currents already existing. Examination of the records of alservatories showed that magnetic storms do not begin at absolutely the same instant of time all over the world, as was supposed. The storma instood progress around the earth, the feeble. onea making the complète siren it in three or four miuites, while thoss strongly affooting the com- pass may take half an hour or mare to get com- pletely around. Bosides the electrified particles: coming from the go there are radiations that do not carry electric charges. Hoth Rontgen rays and ultra-violet light make the air a better conductor of electricity, or " ioniza" it, and the observations seem to indicate that the magnetio disturbances are due to this nation, estling in motion electric currents brought about by the atmosphere cutting soross the earth's lines of magnetic fores. As the enrrents cet lower in the atmosphere-more strongly affecting the compass--their velocity is chested.

The current ides that the earth's interior is solid steel is rejected by n French geologist, who concludes instead that the nolens-the mass below a depth of 40 or 50 milos-represents mited matter in a state beyond the solid. This would giso us four states of matter-the meta-solid, solid, liquid and gaseous. It is argued that if the nucleus were stool, some of it would have reached the surface as pure iron in the millions of years of volcanic activity; but pure iron

AIDS TO AIB NAVIGATION.""
The problem of night signalling for air- skip routes and harboura is already receiving serious attention in Germany, and plans have been proposed for a systematic network of stations to extend over the entire Empire. Towers with searchlight projectors serve well in clear weather. The lighthouse at pandan in Prussia is the initial experiment, and consists of an elevated support carrying an immense horizontal wooden ring, around the circum ference of which 38 powerful incandescent electric lamps are placed at equal distances, An automatic arrangement makes my stewratic interruptions of the current. This lights house makes Spandau recognizable at a long distance, but gach stations bail when the alrabip is abore the loads or in a fog where hours of aimless wandering may result before. the landing place can be found. An Atla Chapells firm has devised a new method that. is expected to serve as an affective guide. A captive balloon carrying electric conductors
is sont up and has attached to it a number of rubber balloons with internal electric lampe. The purpose is to take the signal lights above the fog where the airship may go for observation. A hygrometer attsch- ed to the lighting balloon gives a signal when the upper limit of the fog is reached and thus indicates that the light should be visible to the airship.
