The depth of the atmosphere is still a mattor of great uncertainty. The Belgian Royal Meteorological Observatory has been seeking to throw light on the problem, and has collected these widely varying estimates by distinguished authorities: Biot, 40 miles; Bravais, 70: Maun, 81; Callandrau, 100; Schiaparelli, 125; Marie Davy, 187; Ritter, 216. Early in the last

Meteors, which be-summat like you..or me, just a plain work- come incandescent through friction with the ing chap with a kind of history fucked on to air, afford a means of roughly testing these him for life. estimates, und Sir Itebert Ball shows Ritter's figures to be usarest by stating that meteors have been observed at a height of more than 200 miles.

The benia of the ant has been the interesting subject of recent study by Prof. Forel, the Brins zoologist. This organ is well developed in the workers, smaller in the females, and uuroly rudimentary in the males. The insects have the senses of sight, smell, touch, and taste. hring being doubtful. The ants are endowed with memory and reasoning powers, and in their warfars it is easy to see their courage, their despair, their ardoar for the fray, and their personal hatreds,

If malaria is conveyed by mosquitoes, it is probable that other insect may play a like part. A French physician records that a certain family had a member who for years was subject to frequent malarial attacks and that three children in the family were seized with the disease lirectly after some oleandoms wore brought into the house.

The malaria gerus was found in lica on the plants.

The waves left in sand by tidal currents have been found by Dr. Vaughan Cornish to massure 3 to 34 feet from ridge to ridge, the common length being 12 to 4 feet.

For teaching scientific farming Russia has adopted a method of its own. The experiment station is taken to the farmer, and, as the bast farms are on the grest watercourses, a means of accomplishing this is found in floating gar dene carried on barges hundreds of feet long. Each barge has its buildings for professors and crow, with beds of vagotables and grain, and working models of beehives, the encouragement of apiculture being given special attention. | The floating gardens are launched on the broak-
