- DOOR-KEY ALARM,

The brightness of the sky on a clear, moonless night is one of the mysterios sutronomers are trying to explain. The stars appear to shine from a slightly luminous background, and in a recent paper G. J. Buras, a British astronor, qonsidered that the total light may be roughly taken as equal to that of 1000 first-magnitude ators, while the light of all stars visible at one time has been estimated as equal only that of 70 first-magnitude stars. A e mamou theory is that the light of the sy in de to telescopic Hora 'If this were the, solo cause, however, the luminosity should diminish near the horizon, but instead an increase in brightness is plails perceptible. This and a variability in the brightzem observed at different times might be explained by nasuming that the sky's luminity in partly due to a stratue of homines particles at a moderate distaues from the earth.

¡ is due to a vaporization of the metal near the edge, whore the pressure is greatest, and a combination of the vaper with atmospheric oxygen. la pure oxygen the flashes were much more brilliant. Similar results were obtained with other molate, otium Rud potassium yislding colored fumes, lithium emitting brilliant flashes with a report and sparks, and powdered aluminum and magnesium giving sparks without explosion.

The bydraulie powor now used in Switzerland for running aletrie plants is estimated at more than 295,000 koran-power of which 4 per cont is employed fur slectric lighting, 13 per coat for fraction, par cent for olectrolytie work and 24 per cont for motors.
