LUMINOSITY or PHOsPHORUS.--Dr M0ifat de-
scfbed the British Association several interesting
experiments he had made. Phosphorus in luminous
Eate produces phosphorus and phosphOrc acids also
acne Phosphorus is nOn-luminOus below the tempera
ture OF J9o r. and luminous above S5 but the point
Of luminosity varies with the OF the atmosphere
pDd with the direction OF tie wind. Experiments ex
Sending period of four years had proved that the
equatorial sea-wind produces phosphorescence and
and that the polar or landwn has no such effect

that the latter is developed by the phosphorus
and that II not Tor the mpdry ing
