Chemically pure nitrogen, hitherto baliaved to be practically unobtainable, is now frozen ent of liquid air in the new process of Prof. H, 1 Erd mann. When liquid air is evaporated at atmo- spheric pressure, the nitrogen boomes gaseous at 195 below zero and the oxygen at 182 and qu intermediate temperature canses nitrogen to dielill-off in somewhat impure form. The nearly pure gas sorve the purposes for which nitrogen is ordinarily required. The new process makes it possible, to obtsia the chemi- oslly pare, which is done by placing liquid air in a good vacuum, when the rapid vaporization of part of the Iquid chills the remainder, solid ify. ing the nitrogen in crystals that can be separat ed from the liquid oxygen leff.

The supposed power of the full moon to dis parna clouds, in which meteorologists have been gradually losing belief, has been just investi gated again, this time in South Africa br.J. B. Sutton. In observ tions at Potsdam from January, 1894, to June, 1900, Meissner found" no such disperajug power, but that thero_in_a minimum of cloud about the time of the new moon and a maximum just after fall Sutton concludes that these are just the apparent results we might expect, if it is assumed that the moon has no infcouce whatever. In South Africa the cirrus and cirro-stratus, disappear at sunset, but the rising moon makes them visible again and the 8 pm, observations from January, 1900, to January, 1007, show considerably more olond between the third and eighteenth lungr day than between the eighteenth and third,
