The common sunflower, a native of Peru and Mexico, is gaining favour in parts of Europe £8 a fabrifuga. In Rassis, where the plant in artensively cultivated for its edible seeds and its oil, fever patients sleep upon beds of sunflower leaves, and a Russian physician, experimenting upon 109 children between one month and twelve years of ago, bas found that alcoholic extracts of the leavea and flowore cure fever as apoedily as quinine. In Spain and France also the sun- fower has proven ss satisfactory as quinius in fevers.

Alzon, the new alloy of two parts of aluminum and one of zinc, makes very porfast and durable casis of oven the most delicate' oraaments, and proves to be adapted to many purposes.

The last nawed quality especially entitles this material to consideration.

Ordinary uurafe helium, obtained by calcising clevsite, has been made quite pure by two French chemists by filtering through quartz heated to 1100 C. Helium diffuses readily through the hot quartz, which is impermeable to all other gases except Lydrogen and possibly carbon monoxide, and these are onverted into water vapor and carbonic acid by adding a little oxygen before the Altering. The impuro helium is placed in a amali quarty bulb ending in a capillory tuba, this bulb being enclosed in a esauga lube of platinum. The apparatas is easy to operato and perfect in its purification, though the diffusion through the guarts is rather slow.

A series of vibrations corresponding to musical loties has been reproduced as sa alternating electric current in novel experiments coported by Maurice Dupont to the Paris Academy. Passing these currents through the body may give the effect of hearing the tones themselves, und this has suggested & possible new method for making the deaf to hear. It is further conceived that the currents may be so attuned to nerve cells na to give either ercitation or the reverse the benumbing being a new kind of asaesthesia. Twenty years ago D. Arsonval reproduced melody and words from a muscle excited by an alternating current coming through vicrophons acted on by the human
