DR.. G. Huter, German savant, OF
Griefswalb, has devised a simple ar
rangement which demonstrates the Cir
culatiOn of the blood in the human body
by making it visible. What is known as
PurkipJe's experiment previously en-
abled an observer to wituess the circu-
lation in his own retinal blood vessels {:
but now, for the first time, can the flow
of the vital fluid in one person be
watched by another, and that, we are
assured, with sufficient accuracy to
detect anything abnormal, ,and to obtain
invaluable assistance in the diagnosis
of disease. DR.. Huter's method is as fell
lows: The patients head being fixed In
4 frame, Oh which Is contrlvnce for
Supporting-a microscope and a lamp,
his lover lip is drawn out and fixed on
the stage OF the microscope by means of
clips, the inner surface being upper
most, aud having a strong light thrown
upon it by condenser. When these
preparations are completed all the OBJ
server has TO do is to bring the micro
scope to bear on the surface of the lin.
using low-power objectiYe, and focus
Ing small superficial vessel. At once
he sees the endless procession of the
blood corpuscles through the minute
cipIllaries the colorless ones appearing
like white specks dOtting the red stream
DR.. Huter asserts that from taking
careful note of variations in the blood
flow and changes in the cOrpuscles he
has derived great advantages In the
treatment Of medical cases.

Some interesting laws of the varla-
tions Of atmospheric electricity have
been deduced by Denza from the regu-
lar data collected at the Observatoro OF
Moncalleri. In Piedmont there are
daily two maxima of electricity, follow
ing the rising and setting of the sun,
at an interval of some hours. Between
these maXima is a minimum which fol-
lows the passage of the sun over the
meridian of the place. The annual
maximum of the Atmospheric electrical
tension occurs in February and the min
imum in September. Before and after
storms the electrometer stands at zero,
but during their passage It indicates
very high tension I'm calm and hot
weather the lowest values are observers
n .gative Electricity Is generally due to
storms or rain at a distance or 10 polar
aurora.
