The rarely soon green ray, or brilliant emerald flash with which the sun disappears behind the sen horizon, has been lately observed in Scotland by Mr. J. Franklin Adams. The phenomenon lasted about three seconds, and the observar was surprised to see it begin with on emerald bead, followed by another and another, until a string of seven had developed, baving an

apparent length of about a twolfth of the sun's diameter: As the "Daily's beads" of eclipses are thought to be due to the mountains on the moon, it is suggested that the breaking up of the green flash may have been an effect of oceani waves, although the sea was quite calm. It is urged that careful observers at the sonside and on board ships watch for this peculiar flash--at sunrise as well as at sunset-and report any

results to the astronomical soviotias,

Swodes were grown ou six different farms, after applications of this complete-manure and of the mix ture minus each essential ingredient in turn. Comparing the yields with that from the completa manure, the greatest loss resulted from onitting nitrogen on two farms, phosphoric acid on two, and potash ou two. Omission of phosphoric acid in one case reduced the crop from 18 tons to I cwt., auff in another from 224 tons to 33 tous. In another place the omission of superphosphate caused a loss of less than two tons of roots, whereas the
