.NCIEN7IFI( NOTES..

NJ EuG. GAYor has produced a cross
between the hare and rabbit which has
been fertile to the sixth generation.
EXPERIMENTS were recently made ii
Berlin to ascertain the effect of gas Oh
the roots of trees. The gas from the
street mains was delivered into the soil
in which two limc-trcrs and II maple
were planted. After the lapse Of two
months the roots were examined, and It
was found that all the fiber, were dead.
The bark Of the strongest SCOTS vas dc
caycd, and cven the woody part altered.
The gas was then cut oil to see if the
trees would recover: u Of the limbs
produced a sickly crop of leaves, but
the other trees showed no signs Of life.
BAERLr " Co.. Of Worms, recommend
the use of soluble glass in washing wool.
The operation is conducted as follows:
Forty parts Of water are mixed with one
of soluble glass at II temperature OF %
to - cents. The wool is then plunged
into the mixture and stirred about for Il
few minutes; it is then rinSed in tipid
water and is found to be clean, white
and devoid of odor. After the operation
the wool is said to be perfectly soft,
and not Ia have lost any of III" proper
tics that fit it for tine purpose t. which
it Is applied.
Ir has generally been supposed that
the leaves of plants neither absorb va
uor of water nor water. VI. Cailletet
finds that when the supply Of water to
the roots is sufficient this is true, but ii
the supply to the roots is insufficient the
leaves will absorb liquid water though
they will not absorb watery yapor.
DURING the last week in July II re-
markable excess Of tempertrre prevailed
through out the southeastern half OF
England, the maximum of the thcrmom-
eter being from five to fifteen degrees
higher in London than i'll PlaymOuth.
Considering the small extent ri surface
of the earth under examination and the
great difference III temperature, a result
like this appears to indicate that the
heat at the surface Of the earth varies
rather than changes in the atmosphere
and its action on the suns rays than
with changes in the sun itself.
NJ. BoLEsrRA finds in the water OF the
fohtine Marshes and similar malarious
regions a minute algoid vegetation with
an Of transparent yellow
spores which float off in the ,urro,,,d;nu
air. These, he thinks, may in some No.
be connected with the production Of
miasmatic fevers.

CAUSE Of SCURVY

NJ. Leyen, being in charge OF II Of
the hospitals OF Paris during the siege,
made a study Of scuryy, and concludes
that it is not produced by n want OF veg
etables, nor are vegetables Indispensable
for its cure, but that it is the result Of
bad hygienic conditions in those who
contract it, Cold, dampness, excessive
work depression and insufficient alimen-
t~ation, he thinks are the principal causes
of scuryy. lie believes it to he Il fatty
degeneration of hemuscular system, be-
ginning in the heart, and those muscles
which arc most active, when the degen-
Grafton appears in the liver, kidneys and
other organs. 4 great number of cures
were obtained by the use Of raw meat
without vegetables. -NcribHcr'S Mo"ih-

SHOOTIAE Nv.lLa>.

VI. SHERMAN advances the following
curious hypothesis concerning these cos
mical bodies; The celestial spaces are
trayerscd in every direction by an i'm
mon-o number Of comets. which are di-
vidod by astronomers into two groups,
viz, those which move in the same
course rs the planet, dir'"i, and those
equally numerous that move in the OPP
positc direction rc'rnyyui'. Admitting
the results Of observations Of the dircc-
ton of the shooting stars, and the re-
suits Of the works of many eminent as
tronomers, We are led to believe, LIST,
that there are streams or currents Of
shooting stars which proluc" movement
in celestial bodies: these streams CORES
pond and are dependent upon comets of
the first or direct ordcJ; ID, streams of
shooting stars corresponding to comets
of the second order, and having for
their function the moderation Of this
movement and transformation of the
force of rotation and propulsion into
heart. NDnthiy.

THE QrAGGA,A SUBSTITUTE FOR THE
HORSE.

HORSE.
Probably most of oIlr readers know
no more Of the quagga than what they
have learned by seeing its picture in
the school Biographies or in books of
African travel, Many mtmalists think
that Africa was the original country of
the horse, and there is very little doubt
that it was in Northern Africa that the
horse was first brought under the sub.
lection of man, In Africa also the QlIag-
ga is found, and there, in like manner
1t has been domcsticatod. The Quagga
has the form, light figure, and small
head and cars OF the horse. II il swift
and strong, dociIc and obrdiont, and
easily domcsticatcd. 1t lis capable of
every variety OF service performed by
the horse, and uaturalists say that, by
. little carc on tn" part Of man, it might
be rendered an exceedingly valuable
beast of burden. It is abOut four feet
high at the shoulders and neck, has
slender legs and an asininc tail. 1t is
