CHEMICALLY COLOFLED FLOWERS,
Remarkable effects on the colours of plants are new produced by, chemicals fed to the zoll, but the imported peculiarities are transient and cannot be transmitted to succeeding generations. In lato trints by a German chemist, petals of s white roso kayo been given a red colour by application to the soil of a mixture of Potassium hydrato, calcium hydrate and load acetate. Other experiments were male with the red-lowering hydrangos, and a quantity of potassium and alaminum sulphate, or of hydrato, when foil to the soil, transformed the Rowers to a beautiful blue. Rod or pink polour was in Lensified by load acetate,

ÍS THE EARTH LOSING ITS WATER? The reported, drying up of lakes in Switzer- fund, Gormany, Russia and Tibot has led to the suggestion that the earth is becoming dessicat. ed, and a novel Gorman theory is that, the mites-violet rays of sunlight are concerned in the process. These mayaslowly decompose water iuto hydragon dioxide and hydrogen tho Intter but no oxygou being oralvod. The action tak ing place inthe air, hydrogen dioxide is found in rain, while the hydrogon rises and at 62 miles |constitutes 994 por cont of the atmosphere. This lightest of gases, moreover, is thought to be escaping into space.

BREKING DESKÉT PRODUCTS.
Prickly pears and other cacti are the plants from which neful products must be obtained it the ari ngions of the south-western United States are to be given agricultural value. The experimentatation at Las Cruces, New Mexico, began planting prickly peare six or eights years ago, placing the pieces in farrows ten foot apart, and in four or five years the rows had spread to a width of six to eight fost, leaving only narrow paths between them. The plants received no enltivation, irrigation or ather attention. Much work has been ex- pended in the effort to obtain serviceable materials from those desert plauts, and the re- sults seem to give good promise of practical success. The dark red fruit, the size of a small -opg, yields in excellent frait colouring for con- estionery and jellies. Half a dozen kinds of sugar hava baon extracted and these have been fermented and transformed into alcohol. Cal- sulations show that plants four years old should supply $150 of denatured alcohol per Boro The fruit is borne yearly, no replanting or other pak of caltivation is necessary, and the cost of the products is very little besidas mannfact and transportation to a market.
PHOTORAPHIC MEASUREMENT OF THE
AUROLA.
Photogmhy of the narora borealis having. been nt laat made practicable, we may hope soon to know more of this mysterious earth light. For the pictures recently obtained at Bosekop, Norway, Carl Storror wed a sinematographis Ina of one inch diameter and two inches fecs): Jeng and with Lamiere plates succeeded in gotting 800 photographs-about one half of them good-with exposures ranging from a fraction of a escond to 20 ssconde The distance and position of the aurora were very accurisly determined by comparing its place among the stars on photographs taken simultanoorly at two telephone-connected stat tions about three milos apart.
BETTER STAOR LIGHTING. Diffused light for the stage, in place of the sal glare of electric mres, is obtained by a Spanish aginter by rollecting the rays of ep are lamp from silk bands unrolled in any desired position by pulleys. A quarter sphere lived with dead white is used as
sky, and the illusion of unlimited space is given by the diffused light thrown upon this arch,

HOW
Colloidal solutions, in which suspended par- Etiolos giro jelly-like characteristics, are
produced in very curious way by Sredborg, a Swedish experimenter, who makes use of Lenard and Wu's discovery of a soore of years ago that ultraviolet rays may under certain conditions, strike off daet by their impact on solid metals." After thorough cleaning, Svedberg places the metal in water or other solvent, exposed in a flat. dish to gays from quartz-giaas moretry.vapour_lajop very
