The GERMAN War.
(FrOm the TimeS.J

The scientific history of the Fran
Coleman campaign of 1901 by
the Grand General staff has just
been finished by the issue Of its Goth
number. The whole elaborate work,
whereof a French translation has
also been made, is now complete in
various thick volumes, which con-
tain, among other appendices, 1O7
carefully-prepared maps. The con-
Guiding part just out presents us,
among other things, with statistics
as to what may be called the auxi-
liary services Of an army-field tele-
graph and post, commissariat, sani-
tary arrangements, the car of souls,
military law, &c. The chief result
in the war named is the construction
of the Empire, and for this high
blessing, apart from untold sacrifices
of money, Germany had to pay in
kind with a total loss of 6,247 off
GERS, doctors, and army officials,
123,453 men, 1855 horses, one
stand of colours, and six guns.
Began Immediately after the war
and now ended under the immediate
direction. of Marshal Won Moltke,
this work is worthy of the unparal-
leled campaign which it chronicles,
and must always remain the only
trustworthy source upon the militia
ry history of the foundation of the
new German Empire.

Thu Nature of the Zodiacal Light.

The nature of the faint cone OF light
sometimes seen on the western hori-
zon after sunset, or on the eastern
before sunrise, and known as the
zodiacaI light has been much dispu-
ted. The tight is most commonly
thought to be from an extra terrestrial
source, some tense shaped object sur
rounding the sun, An opposite view
is taken by Herr Gronemann, who
has lately in the ArchiUeS Neerlandai-
8eS discussed at length the observa-
tons hitherto published, together with
some made by himself. The drift Of
his contention is as follows There
are valid observations against two
items in the support Of the old theory
viz, the affirmed c~onnexion OF the
evening and morning cones seen on
the same night (f the corresponding
sides be prolonged, and the partici-
patton of the cones in the daily mo-
tons of the heavens. The zodiacal
ll.ht is sometimes seen when daylight
has not yet disappeared {; and, on the
other hand, it sometimes fails to APP
pear, though there is complete dark
ness. There would seem to be a real
.z,uo.. o and shortening. 1t has
been obsel "a by ScnioparelG that
the light is much more difficult to
make out when it passes through the
meridian than when it is only 30deg.
above the horizon, and is less easily
seen when the air lis clearest than
when a sort of mist is present. In
deed, the bright parts of the. Milky
Way may be seen to be weakened by
mist, while the zodiacal light at the
same height is unaffected. The 70
diacal light has temporary variations
Of light intensity, and 1t shows from
time to time remarkable changes of
form and position, so sudden and short
as to be hard to explain on the plane-'
tary hypothesis. The e~longations of
the cones show a halGyearly period,
which is independent of the transpa-
rency of the air. The cone follows
the observer northwards or south
wards, so that there is no paraIlactic
action and this peculiarly $50 adj
verse to the extra-terrestrial hypothe-
sis) cannot be explained by reiec-
ton or absorption of light, AS to
spectroscopIc observations, the author
finds % shat the zodiacal light con-
sists partly of proper light ri that
its connexion with polar light is but
secondary, temporary, and acciden-
tai G31 that the cause of the second
phenomenon is such that it may
strengthen the zodiacal light and mo-
dify its spectrum and [4] that the re-
suits OF spectrum analysis rank with
other arguments tending to find the
source of the zodiacal light in the
neigIlbourhood of the earth like the
polar light. Herr Gronemann, then,
thinks the zodiacaI light a terrestrial
phenomenon, though he will not say
that it cannot be influenced by cosmic
action. He throws out the suggestion
that the cone may be "a kind Of optical
illusion arising from some fine matter
gas or dust-being more accumula-
ted near the observer. in one direction
than another. The apparent length
Of the cone might be conditioned by
