AN ARCTIC OBSERVATORY,

The German meteorological observatory at Cross Bay, Spitzbergen, has picked up a wireless time signal from Fiffel Tower, 2,178 miles away, and has thus fixed its longitude with unprecedented accuracy, Its observations have included very accurate measurements of auroras. -

A CHANGE IN THE MOON'S SURFACE, The new change on the moon seems to have been one of the most conspicuous yet detected. It has been reported by Prof W. H. Pickering, from the Harvard Astronomical Station At Mandeville,

not over-stating the case, says the pro fessor, to say that our position among the nations of the world and the healthy, social, and industrial development of the Empire as a whole depend to a very great extent on how we tackle the problem of the exploitation and utilisation of the fuel resources, the power resources, of the Empire. The possibility of England, and all that England stands for, being con- tent with a lower position, when Pro- vidence has endowed her so richly in these respects, that she may not only hold her own, but continue to lead the world in all that is best and highest, would not only mean the extinction of one of the greatest. civilising forces so far known in the world's history, but would inevitably Jamaica, and is shown in photographs result in a serious set-back to world-wide Crater Eimmart, in the north-western border of Mare Crisium, at each lunation civilisation... formerly appeared to fill up and overflow with a white material derived from a point at the foot of the northern interior slope. The last regular eruption, or filling, was in January, 1913, and in February and March the activity was much diminished, while in April and May it was scarcely noticeable. The brightness: of the crater has been much reduced. Just after the moon's first quarter, it was distinctly the brightest area of the eize in the vicinity, but this is not so now. Whether the old condition will return or is not is a problem Prof. Pickering, seeking to solve..

ANTS AS DISEASE CARBIERS. Ants, so numerous about tropical dwell- ings, prove to be possible disease carriers, In the like flies and other insects. experiments of Dr. L. B.

Ants escaping from the culture broth, however, left a trail containing abundant living bacilli After further experiments, the conclusion has been reached that dissase germs are almost certain to be destroyed by the formic acid in the body of an ant, but that in a mechanical way the ants may spread typhoid, enteric fever, dysentery and cholera,
