Some of the European astrono-
mers remark upon the fact, as recently
observed by them, of the increased
twinkling of stars when there is dis
play of the aurora berealis; the increased
scintillation Is also seen all the more
clearly on winter than on summer
nights, and the phenomenon is more
apparent when stars in the northern
region are observed. 1t is thought that
the effect Is not due to the direct infiu-
ence of the electromagnetic light of
the aurora on the scintillation itself, but
rather to disturbances-probably cool
ing-which coincide with the appear
ance of the aurora in the upper region
of the air traversed by the star rays.

For the entire earth the number of mills

Great Britain Is next, with 10000 tons,
and then comes the United States, 150,-
600 tons; France, with 14S,000; Austria
with $1,000, and Russia with $500.
Brazil has but one mill, and Africa but
