SCIENCE FOR THE PEOPLE
FoGs AND ATMOSPHERIC DUST.

Mr. John Aitken, of Scotland, whose theory
that dust il essential for the formation OF logs
and clouds has been noticed in these columns,
recently read before the Glasgow Philosophical
Society paper on @FOgs and Atmospheric
Dust" From the experiments made by him ne
drew the following conclusions i. That some
kinds of dust have the power OF determining
condemnation in an atmosphere which - NOS
saturated; other kinds only form nuclei IN
supersaturBted air; and It Is probable tnat
some degree of supersAtuI6tiO Is necessary De-
fore some other kinds OF dust become active. in
highly supersaturRted air all kinds OF dust VIII
form nuclei and determine cloudy condensa-
ton, but in unsaturated air only some kinds are
active. g. That dry fogs may be produced Dy

ACID BURNS CURED BY MAGNEsIA.

Last year two French students were much
burned about the face by the explosion Of O re-
tort filed with boiling sulphuric acid. They
were ut once taken to a druggist, M. AlanOre,
who covered their faces 2mm. thick with a soft
paste made of calcined magnesia and water. In
o few seconds, assures appeared in the magnc-
sian mask, and new layer was then substi-
tuted. The patients were thus tended for five
hours, after which the ore hurt the least was
able to wash his face, which merely showed
some reddish spots. Tine other had his magne-
sian mask renewed during twenty -four hours.
Suffering acutely at first. the students ceased to
suffer in less than quarter of an hour. Their
faces have now no traces OF buns.

THE ENDOWMENT OF SCIENTIFIC RE
SEARCH.

The movement in England in favor Of es-
tabhshinp Government fund for the endoW-
ment of scientific research does not meet Wtn
the support of Professor Airy, the Astronomer
ROYAL. In letter to the Society for Opposing
the Endowment of Scientific Research, he says !:
" / think that successful researches have IN
nearly every instance originated with pIlVate
persons, or with persons whose positions were
40 nearly private that the investigators acted
under private influence, without mourning the
dangers attending connection with the stare
I do not consider Government as justified IN
epdeaYoring to force, at public expense, In.
yesti0ations of underlined character, and, AT
best of doubtful utility: and l think 1t prom
able that any such attempts will lead to conse-
nuenees dsreputable to science"
Professor Airy thinks "a Government ought
to assist science only when it Is partially estao'
lished" Its claims for further. maintenance
are limited. The proper foundations for these
claims are: Il. The continued support OF
science which contributes to the material ad-
vantage of the country, when no private efforts
can maintain that continued support: z. AS
sistance TO scientific observations OF purer
class. which would be useless unless continuous,
and which it is difficult for private persons OF
institutions 10 maintain continuously. 5. Inc
extension, probably for limited time, OF new
and fairly established theory tfOunded on Few
instaDces) TO more numerous lndiVlduai
instances. 4. Occasional interesting obseIVa.
tions, strictly limited in time, which are beyond
the reach OF private persons"

EXPERIMENTS WITH RADIANT HEAT.

During his recent experiments with radiant
heat, Professor Tyndall found that the musical
nGseS prGGgSSea Fs nn an odds
and ends, from chips of wood to tobacco smoke,
are due to the action of radiant heat or gaseous
matter, and that they are not peculiar TO light
per se. The apparatus be employed is simply o
rotating disc, with number of slots, which
permit the passage internationally OF rays OF
light and heat, and these. impinging On TASKS
or tubes filled with vap0rs produce musical
sounds OF greater or less intensity according
to the nature OF the vapOr employed. A flask
of air, slightly contaminated with coal-Ras.
gives sounds far louder than those obtained
when common air alone is used; hence the
method Is applicable to the detection of small
quantities OF fre-damp In coal-mines. Even
the radiant heat of a candle is sufficient to pro-
duce audible sounds In the stronger vap0rs,
and the effects produced by q red-hOt poker
when placed behind the rotating disc are at
once amusing and instructive.

Eastern North America, situated IA far a pos
sible under the came latitude and at the Same

where from 7l2o TO 1872 F. colder in January

THE FLIGHT OF THE ALBATRoss.

Howard Sargent, of Cambridge, Mass. who
has had opportunities for studying the move
ments of the albatross for consecutive days,
thinks the prevailing idea that the bird ia in
some way assisted by the wind in bis flight is q
mistake. In attempting to rise fIom tue water
(he is supposed to I've unable 10 rise from the
land or ships deck), the albatross flaps his
wings violently to get his body. out OF the
water; at the same time, padding. with his
webbed feet, he acquires degree OF moTnen-
tnm sufficient, with Outstretched wings to carry
him forward and upward upon an easy incline;
During this first rise, says Mr. Sargent. he will
generally give a few heavy, lazy flaps, and then
stretch his wings steadily to their full extent.
As he rises, he must gradually lose his acquired
momentum. When II suits him 10 acquire
more momentum, by a movement OF his tail he
takes a shoot downward al any angle that suits
his convenience, still with outstretcheh wings.
BY this downward movement his velocity Is
rapidly Increased, and he soon acquires snft;
Gent momentum TO carly him to height equal
TO or greater thar that from which he started To
take his downward flight. By this waye-llke
motion he will travel day after day for bun;
dreds of miles, perhaps giving ut long and
irregular interS ais few lazy flaps with his i'm
mense wings.
