Samples of puro air from a height of 84 miles have been collected by Toisserend de Bort, the French investigator, in his observations on the rare gaspa, especially argon, noon and helium.at The collecting apparatus--a vaenum tube drawn out to a fine point at one end-tras carried up by a large sounding billson, At the desired hight, an olsetromagaotic device operated by a larometer broke off the point, admitting the air and a few minutes later a second contact sout n lattery current through a platinum wire arount the broken end, melting the glass and sealing in tube. All samples thus obtained show argon and neon, ho heliara being found in air from above six miles.
In cellit, the porfected composition of a Ger man chemist, Consul T. H-Norton, of Chemnitz 5988 a material that must prove of great in- dustrial importance. The cellulose acetate of same years ago, producet by the action of aceto acid en cotton or other cellulose, was compact and tough but of little use, bata new form of cellulose acetate has the valuable property of readily dissolving in alcohol or acetic ether, and especial. ly the power of combining with camphor or other organic substances to forma plastic masses like ordinary calluloid. These products-rang ing from hard and tough to soft, leather-like, even rubber-like compositious-are cellit. Al varieties are transparent, unaffected by water, free from brittleness, and, above all, not readily combustible. For many uses, collit enn replace glass, gelatin, celluloid leather and rubber, and it offers new possibilities by supplying a substanca hitherto wanting that is at once as transparent as gruss and as pliable as a woven fabric. In view of the reported fires at moving plóture dalibitions, its use for sipomatograph films seems to be the most importa tapplication yet made.

In favor of exclusively milk diotas a mis of reducing fat, Dr. F. Morita, a Garmin phy- siciza, urges the efficiency and simplicity of this treatment, and the absence of hungar and thirst sad of all risk. He has worked out a plan of diot giving just milk enough to supply the minimum number of calories required by the normal weight It is assumed that the number of centiaters of a person's height above 100 corresponds to the normal weight in kilogeanSI, so that, for example, a man measuring 170 coutimeters. (5 feet 7 inches) should weigh 70 kilograms (157 pounds). To maintain this weight the lost number of calories required is found to vary from 16 to 17 per day, although a working man's full diet supplies30 to 40 ostories. The doctor's fattest patient was 5 feet 8 ins. tull, and he weighed 298 ponds; or 83 per cent. loo much. The diet prescribed was 2 litora (3) pints of milk per day. This food supplied 1300 calories, corresponding to. 106 calories per kilograni of setnal weight or 178 calories per kilogram of normal weight. In 81 days, during which he continued his usual active-i labours, the patient lost nearly 45 pounds iu weight, and a remarkable circumstance was the an old heart troable sormed to have disappeared
