In normal position, the movable head is close to the end faces of the pole pieces, serving as an armature to the magnet. When an alternating current is sent through the magnet-winding, the armature and test piece are subjected to a rapid succession, of pulls, and the pulling force can be determined from the supply voltage and the air gap between In a machine pole pieces and armature,

EDMALE EARTH MINING.
Geophagy, or carth-cating, is common in many places, but it seems to have reached a unique development in the French Sudan, a described by Henry Hubert, a French author. Though food is abundant, the dirt
a kind of clay-is obtained by regular mining Fle-clay beds ace of varying thick- ness, and, as the deeper layers are preferred, galleries are dug to reach the choicest material. A single native often cats pounds or more in a day.
TEETH WITHOUT EXERCISE.
The influence of soft bread on children's teeth has been investigated in Germany, AL Kotzling, Ravarla, 6.9 per cent. of those eating hard bread had diseased teeth, 8.2 per cent of those eating both hard and soft; and 10.5 of those eating only soft bread. At Ihringen, Baden, the percentage rose from 12.4 in 1894, when only hard bread was used, to 20.9 in 1901, when the bread was mostly soft.
REINFORCED PAVINÒ,
The reinforced macadam of Guiet, a French engineer, is a new road material that is claimed to have given superior results in his tests of the last year or two. It is made in plates of various sizes, and consists of a bottom layer of cemeut enclosing the strengthening pieces of fat and circular iron, and a top layer of broken stone pressed into-

UNUSUAL POISOKING. Aniline poisoning in a curious manner has been reported by a German physician. A bey applied commercial aniline Überally, to his hands for ulcerated chilblains, and, while there was 20 inflammation of the tissues, and healing progressed, under the treati thent, general symptoms of severe poisoning appeared, and were acquired by the boy's room-mate fruin simply sleeping in the close room. In the morning both boys were found unconscious. The one who had been
poisoned by inhalation recovered the next
day, but the other could not stand for nine days, after which he gradually recovered.

These high qualities are attributed to the feed. I is declared, moreover, that ang class of animals may be improved by introduction to the favoured region, and that in the zulla focality they will in two generations arquire the extraordinary toughness and endurance.gramme.
A MILK TELST KESPS,
The success of powdered mill; may be of far-reaching importance, as it connects all sources of milk supply with the world's imarkets. It is developing a great industry
in New Zealand, which provided a large amount for Shackleton's expedition and is to supply two tons for the expedition of Dr. Mawson, Advantages are claimed over condensed milk. It excels in keeping quali ties and nutritive value, and is specially adapted for infants' food by its thorough sterilization and close resemblance to hurtian milk.
ICE ON MARS.

Photographing through coloured screens is the new method of studying Mars that has been undertaken by Tikhoff at the Pulkova Observatory. Four different screens were used-transmitting respectively red, red and orange, orange and yellow, and green-and in the 30-inch "equatorial telescope they produced good photographs of The red and the green vety small size, filters gave strikingly different results. the plates that were exposed under the red, the continents are much brighter than the south polar cap, while the seas are very dark and the canals are best seen; and the pictures that were taken under the green show the south polar cap as the brightest object, and the seas are grayish. A study of the polar cap has made it appear greenish instead of white: The interesting conclu- sion has been reached that at the time the
