SCIENTIFIC MISCELLANY

The EARTE HOLDING WIND.-It appears
that the direct action Of the wind during long
ages has had some effect in the shaping Of
the land. In the plateaus Of Central Asia,
Gen. Prjeyalski has found evidence that
violent winds have moved the small stones
about, gradually pulyerizing the fragments
by friction, and that the finer PARTICLES thus
produced have formed constantly thieken-
ing deposit On the Puy de Dome, In France,
extensive wind deposits have been noticed,
an ancient temple of Mercury on the top Of
that mountain having been covered up In
sand for nearly twenty centuries.
IMPROVEMENT OF THE PoTATo.-The com
mon potato (SoLdasaa t,ibeTossila) is a native Of
dry mountain land, and By cultivation in the
moist climates Of Europe and America It has
become liable 10 what is known as potato
disease or rot The suggestion was a short
time ago made that il might be re-invigor-
ated BY mixture with some one OF the many
other known species OF Sold1utsa, and an
English horticuturist, Mr.. A. W. Sutton, Is
now striving TO accomplish this result Dur
ing last season he succeeded, as be believes,
In crossing 3. -KGglia-a species discovered
by Darwin growing in marshy soil on
islands west Of PatagoniA--with the Guilt
waited potato, obtaining three well filed seed
balls. The seed will be planted next year.
and 1t is thought probable that they may
produce potatoes better adapted to moist
climates and soils than any Of the varieties
now grown.
A new lantern microscope, for displaying

RKPIDITY OF SENsATIoN.-Attemptst to de-
termine the speed Of thought have been made
by Prof. Donders, Of Utrecht, with two in
struments, which he calls the noemalacbo-
graph and the noemstaehometer. He has
found that the brain must act for .069 Of a
second to produce a single idea, but this time
will probably be shown TO vary with different
brains. For the eve 10 receive an impression
