SCIENTFIC MISCELLANY,
CITY GROWTH AND RACE, National development sesung to bo intimately associated with the varying proportions of light and dark races. In paper to the late Eugenica Congress in London, Mr. and Mrs. W. C. D. Whetham of Cambridge contended that the supremacy of western nations has depend- ed upon the tall, blue-eyed, fair-haired portion, and that in England the more prosperous classes and the country people are mostly taller and fairer than the industrial population. The tall, blue- eyed, fair-haired Northern race is Eng- land is most numerous in the cast and north-east, and in the southern districts bordering the sea. The small, dark race -vivacious and casy-going better resists the diseases and unwholesome conditions of city life, and predominates in the great British towns, and in the industrial districts of Wales, Ireland and Scotland. Though more emotional and less produc tive of men of ability and genius, it
seeins
to be favoured by the modern tendencies of civilization, In future the British nation, and perhaps other nations of Western Europe, may become darker and shorter, and thus more restless, morn dependent, less resourceful, less steadfast and persistent.
DRY-NOT PREVENTION,
For protecting wood from dry-rot and other fungi, E. Pinoy has recommended to the Paris Academy of Sciences soaking in solution containing 2 per cent, of potassium bichromate and I of sodium fuoride, and then drying and exposing to light. If already attacked by fungi, the wood must be first steeped in a solu- tion of absolute alcohol and xylol con- taining 1 per cent, of corrosive sublimate. The wood is last given a varnish of a solution of 5 per cent. of gelatin, 2 of potassium bichromate, and 0.5 of sodium fluoride.
ACID-PROOF IRON.
The strong-acid-resisting metal of Prof. Borcheris of Aix-la-Chapelle is made by adding 2. to 5 per cent of molybdenum · to carbon-free iron alloy containing at Jeast 10 per cent, of chromium,
DARK LIGHT AND PLANTS..
The portion of sunlight active in pro ducing chlorophyll in plants proves to be the ultra-violet rays. The evidence is claimed by Prof. J. Stokinen of Prague. Peas, maize, cats and barley were sown in moist sand, which was kept in a per- fectly dark room at a temperature of deg. F., and soon yielded a quantity of blanched and fragile shoots. Of esch lot of these shoots, one third was left in the dark chamber, another portion was

LAW AND COMMON SENSE.
Mr. C. Leopold Samson, President of the Law Society, delivered the opening. address at the provincial meeting of the Law Society which opened at Cardiff, last month. His address held through- out the closest attention of the audience, his racy remarks, bearing on the un- satisfactory, position and the profession and the cause and re- prospects of medies, calling forth repeated expres sions of approval, says The Pines
Mr. Samson asked why it was they constantly found that the work of the solicitor was decreasing and the remun-

COLOUR-CHANGING FLOWERS.
A singular colour variation of flowers of Erodium gruinum and F. eiconium, two species related to the Geraniums, has been receiving the attention of Prof. E. Fitting, a German botanist. The flowers change from dark blue on ordinary cool days to wine-red on hot days, and when the blue dowers are suddenly exposed to about 105deg. F., the turning to red is
almost instantaneous.

BILLS OF COSTS.

It seemed monstrous that a litigant whe was successful should be muleted in the enormous expense that he was now, and especially in the case of a successful de There ought to be a practical indeninity fendant, who was forced into litigation, against costs, except, of course, the costs inourred by over-caution or by extravag
