One of the new methods of producing oxygen consists in distilling liquefied air, the different boiling points of the oxygen and nitrogen making it comparatively easy to separate le two gusts. The eurious property of condensing gases that charcoal possesses has suggested to Dr. James Dowar an even simpler process, and he finds that cheap oxygen may be had by, making the charcoal absorb air at a low tom- perature and then expelling the oxygau by alowly raising the temperature.

A SAFE REMEDY FOR ALL

One of the wonders of Scarborough, England. is its caterpillar farm, a walled-in half-acre on which raro species of moths and butterflies are reared with as much care as the poultryman gives to his prize fowl. Each female lays several handred eggs. The feeling caterpillars and are confined in muslin bags or sleeves, these are moved from place to place on the trees. The Cars, caterpillars and, mature insects lave considerable market value. Ordinary cater pillars zell at 5 to 50 cents each and moths are not thought high at $1.00, while certain hybrids sell readily at $7.50 per s; eeuen, and rarities are often taken at $12 to $15. For unusua) coloms the price may even reach $100,

Calculating the effects of light-pressure on the three tails of Borrelly's comet. Mr. S. A. Mitehall finds evidence that some other re- pulsive force must have acted to give the observed phenomena of these fuïle.

The phenomena of fatigus and sleep are not yet understood. One of the latest theories of physiologists, as stated by Dr. Austin Flint, is that certain partioles of the brain-cells knowu as chrompophile granules or Nissl borlies, represent stored-up energy, and it appears that bodily or mental activity is attended by a disintegration and disappearance of those granules the cells becoming shrunken and

wrinkled, often half of their size. With the changes some unknown substance or poison is produced in the blood, eansing weariness, as is shown by the fact that injections of blood from an exhausted dog induce symptoms of fatigue in fresh animals. Sleep follows fatigue under favourable conditions, and is immediately caused by diminished circulation of blood in the brain. In natural sleep te nerve cells resume their normal condition, the Nisst granules taking up fresh stores of energy.

A Gorman anti-inst paper is described as being treated with sulphuric acid like vegetable parchment. Graphite is sprinkled ou before patting into water, and the material is then sized with glue al alum, and covered with log- wood. This paper is used for wrapping steel goods, such as sewing needles, to keep them from tarnishing,

The roote of treas seen to vary in length and spread more than the branches. On maist land the roots of the largest trees go down only from siz to ten feet, but Mr. T. R. Bakor men'ions that some palmetto roots have been taken from a well in Florida at a depth of 80 fent, and in some of the Florida sand hit's roots have been known to descend as much as 100 feet.

Alcohol is found by two Italian physiologists to be without intoxicating or stimulating effect when imbibed at great altitades, as at the summit of Monte Rosa. The nerve cells appear to be quite unresponsive to alcoholic stimulus.

Radium inflames the skin and destroys various kinds of life, but its plans in medicine Nov. 9th SKIN AND BLOOD D'SEASES is yet to be determined. When it shall have been found useful. Dr. E. S. London, a Russian physician, proposes to make its energy cheaply available. Experimenting with various sub- stances, he has shown that wool absorbs a large quantity of the radian emanations, and that the eminated" wool produces physiological offects similar to those of radium itself. The wool, maraner, ona be applied to any part of the body. Five or ten milligrammes of radium may be made to energize a large quality of wool, and, as the radio-usivity is retained a
