The density of several frozen gases has been measured by Sir James Devar ut temperatures between 13 and 14 Contigrade degrees above absolute zero. He finds that the specific gravity of solid oxygen is 1,452; solüt nitrogen, 1.026; and solid hydrogen, 0,076. A curious fact in that if the elements oxygen and hydrogen occupied in water the space they do in the solid state, a given weight of water would have a volume nearly twice as great as it actually dose have.

Several rivers of Ausunlin'e interior sink into the earth and are lost. A recent discovery in the districs of Eucla shows that they form subterraneau laices 25 or 30 feet below the surface, and these lakes, if they prove to contain suficient potable water, are expected to lead to the development of new territories in the urid region in which they occur.

Iceland seems to be hardly as destitute of trees no some suppose, an old idea being that it possesses but a angle tree. An investigation by Prof. C. V. Prytz of Copenhagen shows that the island really contains woods having various trees of considerable size, and that the climate is not unfavourable to izce growth, as there is evidence that it was once much more heavily wooded then now. Reckless destruction of the forests is the case assigned for the decline. Prof. Prytz believes reafforestation to be feasi ble, with care in the selection of trees and places of planting, and suggests planting around enclosed meadows and on mountain-sides An attempt has been made al ready to grow Denmark firs pines at Halleras taden.
