MErEOROIOGY N RCSSiA.--Ihe last Report of the
Secretary of the Smithsonian Institution contains
very complete review by DR.. WOeikof of the past
and present condition of meteOrology in Russia. He
states that the first records kept in that country
were made about the middle of the eighteenth cell
tury, according to various methods and with inder-
ent instruments. Attention was directed in the lat
ter part of the century toward Siberia but very lit
tie result has from the observations that were
then made. Between 1920 and 1875, there were about
thirty observers. generally private individuals,
throughout the entire empire. The great impulse
given to the study of magnetism in 1928 by the
founding of the Magnetic Union in GERMANY and
the influence of Baron Humboldt. first caused live
" interest in the study of meteoroogy in Russia
and eight completely equipped Obseryatories were
established between 1t. Petersburg the west and
Nertschinck on the east. The magnetic Observable
res were recognized by Kupfer inils33 and were
placed under the supervision of the department of
mines. The results of tho works conducted at these
observatores were published under the title of Mag
netcal and Geological Annals. The Russian Central
PHYSICAL Observatory at st. Petersburg was founded
in lsi9 and had an important influence in elevating
the standard of accuracy of the instruments en-
ployed throughout the kingdom. The schools of
agriculture and many other public institutions, as
well as private individuals volunteered to assist in
the work. great mass of observations by volun-
teer observers was collected and made use of by
Wessellovsky in his Climate Of Russia" published
in 1857. In this famous work, which Is still the
standard, the temperature tables are given for l47
stations and tables of the freezing and opening of

suPT HARLAN's sysTEM-THE ENDS IN VIEW AND
THEIR fLLusTRATToN.
Soon after Superintendent Harlan took charge
Of oar schools he prepared course of Object
Lessons for the Primary schools. Prominent
among these are lessons on Form, designed to
lead children by direct observation to knowl-
edge OF some of the facts of Geometry. Below
we give an outline of some review exercises in
this subject prepared by the superintendent.
Tho ends in view in these object lessons are
to lead the pupils to observe plane and solid
forms and the several parts of these forns, to
teach them the proper names OF the forms or
figures and Of their parts, aud to give them pactce
In the use OF these names, that they may learn
to use them correctly. Strict definitions are not
aimed at, but only to lead the pupils to clear
conceptions OF some OF the facts OF the science
and TO prepare them to comprehend complete
definitions, when they come to study Geometry
in the High School.
knowledge OF the names OF the lines, surfaces,
and solids, treated of in Geometry, is knowledge
OF very useful kind, and, as only about one out
OF forty children in our city ever reaches the
High School, it is important that some informa-
ton on this subject should be given in the lower
schools, II the children there sufficiently ad-
vanced to receive II and that they are nobody
that has examined the subject, doubts. Writing
on this subject and referring to children as
young as the youngest in our schools a former
president of Harvard College said, sit will be
found that children of this age are quicker ut
compromising first lessons in Geometry than
those OF Fifteen" All our primary schools are
supplied with full sets of mathematical solids,
each set containing sixty-four pieces.
In using the following outline, the plane forms
to be described are drawn upon the blackboard
and the models OF the solids arc placed where
| pupils can see them. The sentences containing
blanks are written ON the blackboard, and oral
exercises are conducted on the figures, till the
teacher has satisfied herself that the pupils
have, by seeing che object and hearing its name
| repeated, learned the proper word with which
| to fill each blank. The pupils are then all re-
blackboard (such those given below }, and to
/ fill the blanks in them.
