From observations on Moul Blane and recent discoveries in physics, A. Hansky has concluded that the solar coroun, zodiacal light nud aurora borealis are all clectrical plano- теча. and are due to negatively charged particles detached from the sun and repelled by the prasme of Eght with a volucity of several thousand miles a seccail.
Our conemption of the earth's interior is being gradually transformal by the discoveries in radioactivity. Radium or radioactive substance has been found in sil igneous rocks, but is most in evidence in granites and least so in basic. rocks. That it is the cause of the earth's interual heat is an idea that is gaining ground The distribution of radium is fairly naiform and this gives basis for calculations showing that the earth's crust cannot be much more than 5 miles deep, as otherwise the outflow of heat would be greater than is observed, und for the conclusion that the interior-comparatively cold instead of a molten mase-must be of some totally different material. The last result agrees with that reached by Prof. Milne from the velocity of earthquake travel through the interior. The moon probably consists mostly of rock, with an internal temperature much | greater than that of the earth, and this explains
the great development of lunar volca noes. meteorites contain little radium.

Prosiding on July 9th at the meeting of the shareholders of Spiers and Fond, Limited, Mr. Paul Cremion-Javal said that no one could be more sorry then the directors for the bad report they had had to soud the shareholders. With regard to the fulling of in prests, all the hands of the business. namely, storez, railway refreshment rome, untale, restaurants, and outside places of amusement, contributed to the decrease. As to the reasons, the principal causes were the deresse in the tales of wines, spirits, and all increases in rente, rates, and taxes, and the
in the last twenty years, while the population of the country had increased by t
ten millions, the consumption of wines and spirits had fallen off by eleven millions sta:ling. Taking one of their resioaranta, where they enpplied 78. 68. dinners, where formerly they supplied an average of 78. 6d. worth of wian to much diner, they now ooly expplied 3. 6d. worth. As the labour required was the same the shareholders would the loss in their profits. In another of their restaurants, where they supplied 64. when they had sighty poopis sitting down to and 55. dinners, on a recent Sunday evening, dinner, ouly one bottle of champagne was drunk, where formerly soms twenty would have beau purchased.
The chairman of the sub-committeo argued that the golden stream flowed from the sport of the teapot and not from the shampague bottle. If the businesses in Spiers and Pond which did not pay were eliminated their chairman could come before them with a very differant report. As the consumption of alcobo! decreased he thought the inoreased profit could be found in eourthing else (Hear, hear).
Mr. Smith said the directors had not accepted the change in the tastes of the people, and if they adapted themselves to eireurasiauces the gulles gaivers would combo in.
Mr. Bamberger complained that Epiers and Pond had long bars. Why not go in for the popular drinks and food? They would have to cater in future for the sixpenny and sightpenny people. Lyons was
EL progressive pany, sad their example could well be followed.
Major Issen suggested they should have a close look into their different businesses.
Mr. Parker thought the directors were distinctly behind the times.
The report and accounts were ultimately doolared carried. The retiring directors and auditors were reelected.

Under the law of averages, our lion-if accepted unquestioningly on retura from the wash would probsly serve us almost as well as though we received the original articles. In the action the laundry company received full paymour, and the defendant recovered the side of his lost lineo.
