worst chronic cases of twenty-five and
thirty years. standing. No one need

wonderful soothing medicine. Lotions,

harm than good. Williams Ointment
absorbs the tumors, allays the intense
itching particularly at night after get
ting warm in bed), acts as a poultice,
gives instant and painless ralief, and is
prepared only for the piles, itching of
the private parts, and nothing else.

is considered how many Of these 'isim-
pie sets'' must be combined 10 form
any process Of reasoning or continued
thought.
In a single catacomb in Upper Egypt
thirty-six well-preserved s~arcophagi of
royal ~personages have been brought to
light. They represent nearly all of the
kings and queens of the earlier Theban
dynasty, and besides the mummies con-
tain parchment rolls and other articles
of interest to the ar~ehaeologist.
1t Is stated, on authority of the
Director of the st. Peterburg Central
Observatory, that all the Arctic meteor
illogical stations of the international
series will soon be opened. The stat
ions proposed are: At Upernayic, by
Denmark; in Northern Finnmarken,
by Norway; on the Jan Mayen Island,
and, if possible, on the western coast
of Gronland, by Austria Hungary; on
| Spitzbergen. by Sweden; on Noyaya-
Tyembya-already opened-and at the
mouth of Lena River, by Russia; on
| Point Barrow and in Lady Franklin
Bay, by the United States Several
Antarctic stations, by different govern
ments, have been suggested, and are to
be considered. The method of observ-
alton to be adopted for all these stations
is to be established by an international
conference at st. Petersburg.
NJ. Tissandier is having constructed
in France an elongated balloon, to be
driven by a small and very light cleo
trio motor. The force in the first ex-
periments will be supplied by an cleo
trio accumulation, which will develop
considerable energy for a brief period.
Botanists in the Fontainebleau cis-
trict of France have noticed a consider
able change in the fora Of that region
In recent times. A number of species
have disappeared, chiefly on account of
the severe winters. The winters of
1864, 1909, 1888 and 1S79-S0 were dis
neutrality-suspicious., especially in places
but little protected by snow. Among
the plants which have been frozen out,
or nearly so, In central France. are the
maritime pine 1.-THE loss Of which was a
national misfortune), the broom heath
er, ivy, holly and box. The elder, the
oak, the chestnut and the walnut have
all seriously suffered The loss to the
Fontainebleau flora in these and other
species is replaced to some extent by
the appearance of various new species
In recent times.

SCIENTIFIC MIscELLANY

Compiled for the Leader.
The researches of scientific men have
shown that thought is not so rapid as
is usually believed, but that every act
ion Of the brain requires an appreciable
time. Hirsch proved that less time is
required to recognize a touch than a
sound, and that it took more time to
see than to hear, but the question still
remained as to what part of the time
was conumed in the act of recognition.
This problem vas solved by Donders.
By means Of very ingenious apparatus,
he has found that the double act Of re.
cognizing a sound and giving a response
occupied seventy-five thousandths of a
second, Of which forty thousandths
were required for the simple act of rec
ignition, leaving thirty-ive thou
sandthsfor the act of volition. One TWEEN
ty-6fth of a second was occupied in
judging which of two irritants was act
ing upon the same sense; but a slightly
longer time was necessary to determine
the priority Of signals sent by different
senses Is those Of hearing and seeing.
The described results were obtained
from = man Of middle age; the young
wore somewhat quicker; but the aver
age Of many experiments showed that
the time required for q simple thought
