A valuable collection of birds’ eggs was lately bequeathed to the Natural History Museum of Jxmdon by Philip Crowley, and one of the rarest specimens In It Is an auk's egg, for which he paid In 1853 1175. Since that time, however, the value of auk’s eggs has

year for |1676. Dr. F. W. Hutchison, the well-known English scientist. Is at present making a series of balloon ascents from l^mdon and vicinity with a view to determine the nature of the bacilli Inhabiting the upper regions of the atmosphere. The microbes are collected by means of sterilized gelatine plaleti. prepared from sea-weed by. a Japanese process, and rtponed at different altitudes. So far the results have been satisfactory, and many hitoerto unknown germs have been discovered. M. Armani] Gautier. In a rechit numoer of tho Compte Rend us, announces a new specific for malaria much more effective than quinine. He has found that sodium metbylarsenate Injected into the blood In minute amounts Is an absolute cure for malarial fever of the worst type. He describes nine cures by the use of this drug, all of them cases contracted In Africa, of a severe type, which had been treated tansuccessf'illy with quinine. M. Gautier regards his results as already sufficiently definite lo authorize the substitution of this drug for quinine In pernicious malaria, although further' research will he required to determine the best method of administering It and the proper dosage. M. J. Tboulet has investigated the constitution of the ocean bed. and finds that the more deeply it is penetrated the less the proportion of slime and the less calcareous matter. On the other Jiand. the proportion of sand grains end pure clays increases with the depth. No regularity obtains in the distribution of the not.-calcareous mineral grains. This' normal distribution appears to be more pronounced the deeper the ocean bed Itself lies below the water surface, but. In any case, the variations due to ocean depth are small. Even in the deepest water the constitution of the bed shows traces of the conditions prevailing near the surface of the ocean above the bed. The latter remark is of Importance, as the author points oqt, when we consider that a complete analysis—chemical, mechanical and mineraiogical—applied to ancient geological strata is competent to shed a flood of light upon the ancient conditions that prevailed at the surfaces ot oceans that have long since disappeared leaving no trace other than their effect on the ancient ocean beds. . . Experiments on aviation (bird flight) have recently been reported on by the Messrs. Wright to the Western Society of Engineers at a session where Mr.

pulse to the ascensional force for wing surfaces of the best shape Is less for angles of inclination from 5 degrees to 12 degrees than ior an angle of 3 degrees. Wings are alone necessary, and tails, whether vertical or horizontal, can be done away with. The wings can be so arranged that the body of tbs experimenter may be horizontal, thus avoiding great resistances. Other conclusions modify those deduced by Llllenthal in several Important respects. The apparatus used by the Messrs. Wright was composed of two large parallel planes with a smaller plane a short distance in front of them, and in ■uch a position that the action of the wind upon it counterbalanoed the effect of the displacement ot the centre of pressure upon the two principal surfaces. In this way changes of direction and pressure of the wind have little effect and the whole attention of the experimenter can be given to the management of the machine. Alterations in the plane of the small front surface wings was about twenty-three square

Captain . R. Amundson, the Norwegian. who was first officer of the Bel-' gica on that ship's trip to the Antartlc In 1897. proposes to start nsat •ring with an expedition to locate

magnetic North Pole.

In 1831 Sir James Clark Ross reached a position where the dlflfdng needle was only deflected one minute from an absolutely vertical position. MSt tho question has been raised whether the magnetic pole is actually only a point or whether the peculiarity of the needle aaaiimlng a vertical position extends over a largo area, and further, whether the magnetic pole changes its position. With the object of solving these two questions Captain Amundsen has purchased the Gjoa. one of the strangest and best /ailing vessels of ths Norwegian Arctic fleet, and will ktart for the north in the spring of 1903. The Gjoa ia ta be fitted with a petraleum engine and will carry a crew of seven men.

Two lBtolll*oat Robins. The following incident seems too remarkable to be true, and yet It is vouched for by a writer whose word should not be doubted. Two robin* wore trying to teach their little ooa to fly. It attempted to cover too great a distance and fell to the ground. My little boy caugut It and I told him to put it on the roof of our side porch. Then he and I watched to see what toe old birds would do. They fluttered about the yard for a while on* then flew off. We waited for them to return, but they did not. and I had just made up my mind that they had deserted the young one when I saw them coming, accompanied by a third old one. They flew directly to the roof of the porch, and I saw that one of them had a piece of twine In 1U bill. Asd what do you suppose they did next? If I had not seen it I never would have believed It. Two of them caught hold of the twine, ono at each end. and the little one caught the middle of It in hlq bill. Then they flew off the porch, the third robin flying under the little one and supporting it on his back.—Minneapolis Journal.

Buoy Which It Xavar Slleat. Between 400 and 500 buoys are needed for the harbors on the Cuban coast. The gas bill for a modern gas buoy is about 7 cents a day. Some Important Improvements have recently been made in these buoys. The new buoy has a device by which the escaping gas rings ' a bell every 15 seconds. A great deal J of trouble has been experienced in the I past. A lighted buoy could not be . seen In the fog. Then a bell buoy was needed. When there is a fog the aea I is apt to be smooth and then the bell 1 buoy is of no service. By the new method the warnings can be kept up night and day. In fair weather and in foul weather.
