thought very desirabltoto reach not only the

that many persons from Mexico. Central Amer
lea, and South America may thus be supplied
with the word of life who could not easily be
reached at any other time or place.
Thus work will call for very considerable

To confirm other experience of tropical
thunderstorms, Mr.. J. ]. Meyrick reports
that very few persons or buildings are ever
injured by lightning in the plains of India.
although, at the commencement of the
monsoon, storms occur il which the light
ming rms like snakes all over the sky at the
rate of three or four flashes second. and
the thunder often roars without break for
an hour or more at time. He snpposes
the rarity of accidents to be due to the
great thickness of the stratum of heated
nj, and its effect III keeping the clouds SO
high that most of the electrical discharges
pass from cloud to cloud and very few
reach the earth. Confirmation of this view
is found in the observation that in noun
ta;ns and in colder climates, where the
clouds approach near to the earth surface,
much greater damage is done by lightning.

The beech, according to Mons. Hansen
Blangsted. is supplanting other trees in the
forests in Denmark. It's readiest conquests
are made in its struggle with the birch,
which il rapidly disappearing before it,
and which now forms forests only where
the soil is too poor to support the beech.
The earliest forests of the country were
mainly composed of aspens, with which the
birch was apparently associated; but as the
soil and climate improved the fir appeared
in great numbers, and ruled for centuries.
The first place WAS then gained by the
holm oak, which is now-liks the birch and
the fir, but more slowly-being replaced by
the beech. The superiority of the beech
seems to lie in its power of growing in the
shade Of any trees, while other trees are
unable to develop in the shadows of its
own dense foliage.
