and nutrition of the children.
In a British Association paper, Dr. W. Jdevoting quarter-time to school work, and Dakin referred to recent investigations, and gave reasons for believing that, while solid food is necessary, food-in solution forms part of the normal supply of water animals, Futter showed that sea water has in solution more organic carbon than is contained in the plankton- the supply of animal organisms living in that water. Dr. Dakin has found that a specimen of the sponge Suberites, weighing two ounces, requires per day as much carbon as 7,400,000,000 of its food organisms would yield, and to capture this number of the organisms it would need to filter several thousand times its own volume of water per hour. A more rational view is that part of its carbon comes from the solution. Crabs, living in sponge exist and. grow in water from which the solids have been filtered; and goldfish that live 41 days in hydrant water continue alive 78 days in the same water to which organic matter in solution has been added, One objection raised to this theory is that it is difficult to estimate how much solid food of aquatic animals is bacteria and like minute of ganisme.
COMPANIONS OF THE ANTHROPOIDS.
As a modern example, of an absolutely primitive race of people, Prof. W. Volz, of Breslau Universit", has brought to notice the Kubus, who are completely isolated in the forest interior of Sumatra. They share the life and habits of the apes living in the same forest. They do not seem to have ad- vanced even to the hunting stage of develop ment, and are not known to have any ideas of religion.

VARIETY IN METAL SPARKS.
The sparks from an emery wheel serve to some extent in distinguishing the variedjes of steel. Cast iron and wrought iron sparks are both dull red, but the latter dy much. further in the wheel. Tungsten and self- hardening tool steels also give dull red sparks, which, however, form in showers.. yellow.

OZONE AND MILK. Ozone having proven so effective sterilizer of water, W. Freund, in Germany, has made experiments with It as a preserver of milk. Ozonized aiz was passed through the milk for varying periods, and samples of the milk were than tested from time to time to show the development of acid. Passing the ozonized air current two minutes caused a material lengthening of the time before the milk soured. In other trials, the i ozonized air was passed ten minutes or so, followed by ordinary air for an hour or more, and in this case the sterilizing effect of the first current was counteracted by the second. When sterilized air was substituted for the ordinary air, there was also no retarding of the souring. A preservative effect was shown after passing ozonized air over milk in shallow dishes, and a similar effect in cream, butter and cheese after exposure to ozonized air, In all cases, however, the dis agreeable taste imparted by the ozone was sufficient to make this method of steriliza- tion quite impracticable.
OLDTIME SUBSTITUTION. Instead of being of recent origin, as has been supposed, reinforced concrete seems to have been a trade secret more than 350 years ago. The palace of the Louvre in Paris was rebuilt by Francis I. near the middle of the 16th century, In the work of installing a modern elerator, a workman lately cut through an old wall, and he was surprised to find that this was really a kind of rein- forced concrete faced with stone instead of the dressed stone it appeared, Investigation
That the future telephone user may be able to see the person with whom he is con versing is a prophecy that seems to be just fied by the experiments of Prof. Rosing of the Technological Institute of St. Petersburg Metallic cells or elements that vary the strength of an electric current under vacia tions in light intensity are being improved in sensitiveness, and with a simplified receiv- ing apparatus a pencil of light is made to trace rapidly on a screen a picture of any image that may be facing the transmitter Two sets of conipound mirrors move so as to project this image-a person or other object-upon the light-sensitive element in successive small portions. The varying electric current excites invisible rays in a special, vacuum tube of the receiver, and as these rays pass in a point over a fluorescent screen, following the movement of the trans mütter mirrors, the varying glow reproduces the light and shade of the original image. The ny ement of the mirrors also controls, | bars, each eight feet long, immersed in through a series of electric currents, the cement, and these were found perfectly pre- movement of the rays over the screen. A complete cycle of transmissions takes but an instant, and rapid repetitions give a com tinuous picture.
has shown that the old architects left no records, of using anything but stone, the concrete appearing to have been introduced to save cost for their private, benefit.
WHERE IEON RUSTS NOT
The durability of iron in concrete has been revealed by the recent demolition of an old gasometer in Hamburg, which had been standing nearly 6o years. The pillars of the foundation had been anchored with 6o iron
served and free from all team of rust. Iron being inoxidizable when surrounded by alkali, it has been suggested that the dampening of the concrete had produced a strongly alkaline reaction,
