SCIENCE IN BRIEF.

THE germ of the dreaded cerebrospinal meningitis has been discovered, and expert ments in preventive inoculation with it have given encouraging results.
 TIE mouth contains seventeen distinct speoles of miaro-organisms, according to M. Vignal, of Paris. Re concludes that they play an important part in the digestion of food.
 ACCORDING to a writer in Science the waterof rivessone mile wide, flowing Oh the meridian, will he twelve inches high or on the west bank than on the eastern bank.
 GERMAN experimepters have found that the illuminating, power of naphthag gas is re- duced one-half by twenty per cent. of air. The mixture becomes explosive when it contains fEom five to eighteen volumes of air to one of gas.
 THE banana, according to scientists, is one of the best of foods. It may almost be looked upon as condensed milk, its composition be- ing "A per cent. water, 20 per cent. fuel, , per cent. hesh-formers, and 07 per cent. mineral; while milk contains S6 per cent. water, 9 DOT cent. fuel 4 per cent. flesh formers and or per cent. mineral.
 MANY people suppose that the iron is simply melted out of ore, but this is mis- take. The ore is usually an oxide of iron, which, when heated with the carbon of the coal, gives up its oxygen, forming carbonic dioxide and metallic iron. The actual re- actions taking place in the furnace are more complicated than this, which only repre- sents the general principle of the process.
 WRITER in medical journal says: "Be- ware of too much quinine It wlll produce a congestion of the ear and irritation of the auditory nerve. The common habit of talk ing quinine for neuralgia and other ail- ments without consulting a doctor is alto gether reprehensible, and may lead to very produced by overdoses and long continued use of the drug"
