SCIENTIFIC MISCELLANY,
· RABLÓ AUU!VITY AND THUNDERSTORMS, The thunderstorm theory of E. Alt, German meteorologist, has been worked out from extensive records. Upward currents of moist air are neecssary, pre- cipitation of the moisture produces the electric discharges, and electrification is especially rapid when the air is radioue Southern tive or otherwise ionized. slopes of mountains, becoming intensely heated, are the greatest generators, of thunderstormis. Condensation cools the lower air, causing the storm to move the downward into the plain, and descending cold air pushes up more warm air, thus keeping up the disturbance. Thunderstorms do not result from dry heat, as found in the steppe region of Europe. But in mountain regions they result from the cool evening breezes, which flow under the heated air and crowd it upward. It is pointed out that thunderstorms are rare in old geological formations--on account, probably, of the rarity of radioactive deposits.

It consists essentially of an electrometer, on which is a tube perhaps three feet long. filled with paraffine, at the top of which is embedded a brass plate to intercept the radinm rays, a fine wire passing downward through the tube to a silver wire soldered to a horizontal wire in the electrometer box. A piece of alum- inum foil covers the brass plate. The radium rays charge the brass plate with

NEW ELECTROCULTURE.
The simplified electric influence machine
The
of Thomas Clark, an electrician of Bristol, Eng., is designed as a practical apparatus for the use of nurserymen and farmers. It is a modification of the Wimshuret machine. having six plates on ball bear- ings in a glass case, with an outside driving gear, and several novel features have been planned to reduce cost and add to the efficiency. The pumping of air from the case by the exhaust of the small gas-1 engine used for driving is claimed to give as satisfactory working on a damp,
uggy day as on a cold, Frosty one. apparatus is to be employed for charging overhead insulated wires with a high- tension continuous current, and the theory is that the discharge of this current to the earth stimulates the growth of the plants A machine al- through which it passes, ready cinstructed is to supply a current of 800,000 volts to a green house of 200 by 30 feet. In the experiments of Lodge and oters, electric stimulation has given earlier products, and in some cases has added as per cent, to the yield of straw- berries, 20 per cent. to encumbers, 30 per cent. to beets, 29 per cent. to wheat, and 9 per cent. to the grain and 12 per cent, to the straw of barley. The possibilities of benefit from electrified air in sanita- riums for cousumptives and others are yet to be investigated.
ROAD TARRING RYFEXTA.
Since the tarring of roads began about ten years ago, complaints of two kinds of injury have been made. In Paris the leaves of plants by the roadside have been caused to shrivel or remain undeveloped by the vapours-such as ammonia and benzine-frau freshly-applied tar, and and tarry dust has not only attacked the protective film of leaves but has affected the eyes of some persons, causing conjunc tivitis. Recent, inquiry in many parts of Europe had shown that the tarring of roads annually or aftener is increasing at an astonishing rate, without objection. (CHAPOTEAUT) It is concluded that the Paris plants were unusually sensitive, bt Paris authorities are taking the precautions of removing the offensive substances from the tar and of keeping down the dust by frequent tar ring
