Both of the chief Canadian perts have spread NOW PROCEEDING
over large arcus. The larch saw-fly, thriv ing on the American as well as the European larch, was first noticed in America in 1881, but two years later it had spread over New England, reaching Canada by 1882, and it continued to develope rapidly until 1885. After nearly disappearing for a few years, it'

VACUUM BLAST CLEANING...
been
Ordinary vacuum-cleaning has not very effective in textile machinery, on ac count of the adhesiveness of the vily fluff forming most of the dirt to be removed. A new sysem is a combination of blowing and suction. Tim dirt is detached by a powerful- air-blast, and is then collected and deposited in n canvas bag by a low-pressure vacuum. The apparatus is simple in operation, closing a single valve changing from air-blust to suction as the little machine is carried from flame to flame:
STRANGE ELEMENTS IN PLANTS,
The importance of aluminum and mag- ganese to plant growth has surprised plant physiologists. In Bohemia manganese has been found to add quality to hops, and a special fertiliser of manganese superphos phate is employed. The abundance of man- ganese and aluminum in certain leaves has suggested to Prof. Stoklasa, of Prague, that these elements have a special function in the assimilation process.

The ordinary exposure is about two hours in direct sunshine, or a longer time in dif- fused light. The print is fixed in a suitable solution, and is quite permanent in an albuna or other dark place, fading out slowly in a dimly lighted room.
HYPNOTIZED CRUSTACEANS,
The hypnotizing of lobsters and other crus taceans has been the curious subject of a Northumberland Sea Fisheries' Committee. It has been known that lobsters could be put to sleep for a variable thne by holding the hend down and rapidly stroking the cara- pace, and one point to be determined was whether sending the blood to the head by the reversed position was essential. The hori zontal position or lying on the back gave the same results. A native lobster remained motionless three hours and one from Nor way 55 minutes, but all recovered when disturbed, and instantly when placed in wa- ter Crabs became comatese in both the natural position and lying on the back. Respiration seemed to be unaffected.

A notable contribution to volcano literature A LING is a special bulletin of the Philippine Weather Bureau by Rev. M. Saderra Masd, giving an account of the Yaal eruption of January 35, 1911, which caused a loss of 1,300 lives. Many eruptions of this volcano are recorded, the most disastrous in 1754, and all have been violent explosions, throwing out great volumes of dust and ashes with no trace of liquid lava, The reccat eruption was pre- coded by three days of rapidly succeeding earthquakes. The last explosion gave rise to a great vapour columa 20,000 to 30j000 Test
