individual child makes slow progress, but
f
late book by Samuel G. Smith emphasizes its need, The evidence in cited of a Danish physician, Dr. F-Lang, who found that in 20 years 44 related families had sent 77 patients to insane asylums: In a few generations, 366 serious neurotic cases had appeared in these families, and all were traced to the evil influence of one neuropathie fernate ancestor. But the deviation from the normal included genius as well as mad- neas. These same families have had an unusual proportion of gifted men and women, and have included 2 cabinet ministers, 1 foreign ambassador, 3 | bishops," "3" generals, admirals; 9 uni--- versity professors, 44 poets and artists, and many locally well-known public officials. In 28 of the families were 7% individuals whose special intellectual ability had gained for them prominent positions. All this leads to the question whether the original neuropathic ancestor ahould have beon killed off, and it is con- cluded that there is little doubt that proper care and training in childhood would have saved 77 persons from lives in asylums.
MIMICRY.
The caterpillar of the lobster moth was pointed out as the must remarkabla example of mimiery in Nature in a late London lecture by Mark Webb. It is an ant in appearance when first hatched; then it looks like a leaf; and on being alarmed it abakes its antenune in close resemblance to a spider. Black and white or black and yellow are Nature's danger signala. Black and yellow are warning colours of snakes and wasps, and of caterpillars and butterflies that birds do not ent Other creatures mimic the colours for protection, the black and white of the young cuckoo frightening Rwar rats.
FUEL LOST IN WASTE.
How Great Britain might by scientific methods save 40 to 60 million tons of coal a year is shown by Dr. Beilby in a report of the British Scienen Guild. Oil engines, with more efficient use of hfast- furnace and coke-oven gas, are nids in economizing.

WEIGHING ODOURS.
The amount of odour given off by flowers, essential oils and other sub- stances has long been a matter of wonder, which has found expression in the state- ment that a grain of muek may perfume An apartment for years without appre ciable loss. But Signor Salvioni, an Italian physicist, has now made the loks measurable.
He has devised a balance sensitive enough to weigh, even odours, and said to depend for its chief part upon a very fine thread of glass fixed at one end and extending horizontally, The anbstance to be weighed is placed on the free end. This causes a deflection, and the amount is racasured by a micrometer having a powerful magnifying glass for making its readings, great care being taken to avoid errors from such causes as temperature variations and air currents It is claimed that, with proper adjnst- ment, a variation in weight as small as the thousandth of a milligram--or one fifteen thousandth of a grain can be accurately determined.
COAL-USING WITHOUT MINING,
A special laboratory for testa, research and instruction in radioactivity in the novel institution established at Giffan miles from Paris, with Jacques Danne as director. A main building has testing Wm. Ramsay, producer gas is to be In the experiment to be minde by Sir rooms, research department and collec-generated in coal seams in the ground. tions; a second building, 700 feet away,
is isolated for strongly radioactive sub- stances; and three other buildings pro- vide workshops, forges, engines, dynamos, storage batteries, library, offices and drafting rooms. The accurate tests of ores, products and apparatus are expect- ed to be of grent advantage to physicians, miners and factories. More than 30 radioactive elements are now known, but only four or five are commercially im- portant; and of more than 130 minerals yielding uranium, thorium or radium only ten are of sufficient abundance and richness to be of use. The search for new sources of radionetivity is of great con- cern. The chief commercial radioactive products
Balts of radium and mesothorium, and the limited supply is. almost entirely put to medical USAS. Many applications-such as that of mea- suring atmospheric electricity in special instruments--await a greater abondance of high grade.

SUNSHINE FOG,
Sunshine as a producer of fog has been a subject of investigation by Dr. John Aitken, the Scottish meteorologist, In the last four winters, it has been found that when the wind was light, somewhat damp and came from the direction of towns, sunrise or the appearance of the 8{# was invariably followed by the formation of fog; but that when the wind came from a direction having no source. of pollution, sunshine had no fog-formning effect. Laboratory experiments were made with the various products of coal combustion. From the results it appears that the fogs are caused by the action of the sun on sulphur compounds from the coal, and also by the hydrogen peroxide formed by the sunshine in the air. The particles thus formed can condense rapour in unsaturated air-as can also radioacivity and the electric discharge.
WHEN IT WAS EABISE TO FLY
As increase in weight and size of a fying animal increases in greater pro- 'portion the power necessary for pro- pulsion in air, E. and A. Harlò conclude that our largest flying birds represent -the largest flying size. They conclude that the giant pterodactyls and dragon- flies of Cretaceous and Carboniferous times owed their flight to a denser atmos phere than now exists

The
and used for driving gas-engines. power of the engines may be applied to the production of high-tension electric current, to be distributed to a distance. It is proposed to sink a bore holo about 18 inches in diameter to the coal stratum, putting down a tabe to keep out the water, and adding two concentric tubes within the outside one. The coal being fired, combustion could be kept up in the earth by air forced down the outside tube. The heat would distill the coal, and the gas could be brought to the surface in tho. space between the middle and the inside tube.
NATIONAL TIME-CONTROL.
Wireless control of the time of Germany from a single tower 100 meters high is proposed by the society at. Falda. Ono of the three clocks in the tower would close a circuit every minute, sending out waves, and advancing the receiving clocks one minute. A simple flagstaff would be sufficient for the receiving antennae. A single receiving clock could serve entire village, as it could be made to regulate several hundred secondary clocks,

YIELD TO THE HERBAL TONIC
Mr. F. N. Calmerer, of West London, near Mowbray, C.P. writes:-"Some years ago I had heaviness and pains at the chest after eating, and also constant billors headaches accompanied by vomiting. 1 lost all appetite and becanic very despondent. I was then advised to try Mother Seigel's Syrup. I did so, and by the time the fourth bottle was finished, all traces of niy aments had entirely disappears.
