Within the last two years several remarkable reefs of fossil coral have been discovered near Balnbridge, on the Flint river. In Georgia. One reef so found consisted of coral beads, some of them more than a foot In diameter. Between 23 and 30 species have been recognised In these Georgia reefs. Cologtsts say that they belong to the

It is sometimes desired to phoU. graph an engraving or a plate in a book that cannot be taken from a library, and where the camera cannot be used. A means of taking the pho tograph in such cases has been devised by an Englishman. He coat, a cardboard with a phosphorescent substance, exposes It to sunlight or to the electric arc light, and then places It at the back of the engraving. He then closes the book, wraps It in a black cloth and leaves It so for from 18 to 50 minutes, according to the thickness of the paper, and

The first sealed thermometer was made some time prior to 1654 by Ferdinand IU Grand Duke of Tuscany; he filled the bulb and part of the tube with alcohol, and then sealed the tube by melting the glass tip. There appears to be considerable doubt as to who Bm employed mercury as the thermometric liquid; the Academia del Cimento used such an'instrument In 1657. and they were known in Paris In 1669. Fahrenheit, however, appears to have been the first to construct. In 1714, mercury thermometers having trustworthy scales. The use of the boiling point of water as the upper fixed point was suggested by Carlo Renaldlnl In 1694.
