NITROGEN PRODUCM.
The nitrogen-fixing processes, frat started on a commercial scale in Nor- way and Italy about six years ago, were -reviewed in a British Association paper. by E. Kilburn Scott. The chief products are artificial manures-nitrate of lime, with 195 per cent, of nitrogen, and calcium cyanamide, with 18 per cent.- and these are made at prices comparing favourably with those of older artificial manures, such as nitrate of soda and sulphate of ammonia. For the nitrate of Tide, by F

In the calcium eyana- mide process, brought out by Frank and Caro, the nitrogen is first isolated from the air, and is then absorbed by carbide of calcium, an electric furnace product costing about 830 a ton. To offset the difference in cost of raw materials, the nitrate of lime process requires more electric energy for a given amount of nitrogen fixed. Products of these pro- cesses have any other uses. Concen- trated nitric acid is sold for gün-cotton, dynamite, etc., and ammonium nitrate, in demand for safety explosives, is made. by weak hitrie neid from Birkeland-Eyde towers and ammónia liquor from English gas-works. cent, of vitrogen, sells at 8135 a ton,

RADIUM IN THE BODY. Human radioactivity has been investi: gated by Prof. R. Werner, of the Heidel berg Academy of Sciencos. Obtaining 41
sections from 12 different human bodies, he has calcined these, and then tested them with an instrument called Wal cinanometer, which is declared to be more sensitive and reliable than the best gold leaf electroscope. The sections all gave indications of radioactivity by increasing the conductivity of the air. The brain was most active, followed in order by the lungs, heart and liver, and only very faint indications were yielded by the kidneys and the spleen. The organs of the old were decidedly more radioactive than those of the young. Occupation ap- poured to make no difference, and no effect could be traced to station in life or any living conditions. It was con- cluded that the phenomena are the result of the presence of radium or one of its disintegration products-probably ab- sorbed from food or drink.

The sun's nucleus is supposed to serve as positive pole of the enormous currents. The cathode rays given off may explain not only the luminous phenomena of the atmosphere of the earth, but magnetic storms, and

PURE IRON.
The production of iron by electrolytic deposition seems to have been brought to a commercial stage by Franz Fischer of Berlin, and the process is in use in large works at Leipsic. By varying the electrodes, the product can be obtained as sheets of any desired thickness or in the form of tubes. The iron is remark ably pure, and this is said to make it much
more easily magnetized and demagnetized than ordinary metal. The exceptional magnetic properties scom to give it special importance for dynamos and transformers and for other ap paratus,
