noticeable until after the end Of the
twelfth hour, when some Of the Inca

At the fftieth hour an auricle Of the
heart appeared, much resembling a lace

the end Of seventy hours we distin-
guished wings and two bubbles for the

the forepart and hindpart of the head,

day. At the end Of 1871 hours the first
voluntary motion was observed At the
end Of l3S hours the lungs and stomach
had become visible, and four hours later
the intestines. the loins. and the upper

form and become more compact at the
beginning Of the seventh day.
At the l90th hour the bill first opened

the cloth hour the ribs had begun to put

that the chick could have moved had IL

Experience and rrainlns.

To be good mechanic bid Sir Ben
jamin Browne at the recei~ meeting OF
the British Scientific association, long
training is necessary; ard. above all,
ability to distinguish good work from in
ferior work. a regular course Of prog.
ress from one branch to another should
be carefully followed, so as to teach
every class OF work up 10 the most diff.
cult. In this the real interest of the EN-.
ployer is the same as that OF the lad
viz, to learn every step thoroughly. and
then pass on TO something more difficult.
The author contended that long train
ing in a mandatory is absolutely neces-
sary, and this should be supplemented
by theoretical and technical instruction.
1T would probably be a great gain to
give a lad six or eight months Of theoret-
ical teaching after lac is out Of his APP
premiership. The old fashioned system
Of apprenticeship, not much shortened,
and with very slight notifications, is the
only reliable method for either employer
or mechanic 10 learn his business; but,
as work has become more scientific and
elaborate, it is necessary for any young
man who wishes to excel to have a good
theoretical and technical training in ad-
dition to his factory experience. Phil

The National Museum of Egyptian
Antiquities at Bulak contains q very in
teresting collection Of plants which have
been found in the catacombs and sepul-
chral monuments of the country. DR.
Schweinfurth was the first to study this
ancient fora, which contains no example
Of a plant that does not grow today in
the Nile valley. Nor does the most min
ute examination show the least differ
ence between the vegetation which flour
shed fifty centuries ago and that Of the
present time. In some cases the color Of
the flowers can be clearly distinguished,
as, for instance, the purple larkspur. the
red poppy. the reddish brown saffron
and the blue lotus.
The leaves Of the watermelon contain
grains of chlorophyll perfectly visible in
the microscope. All these were found
in great numbers in the burial places Of
the fifteenth dynasty, 5000 years b. c.,
and in one tomb Of the same time some
ears Of barley. In later monuments were
discovered mustard, flax, cucumbers,
lentils, pine cones, juniper berries, dates,
holyhocks, chrysanthemums, figs, olives,
onions and grapes Around the necks
and upon the breasts Of the mummics Of
LOO b. c. were garlands Of celery
leaves and blue lotus flowers. In regard
to the various specimens Of grain dis
covered, it may be added that 10 at
tempt to make them grow has ever sue
ceeded, the plants having been subjected
to great heat at the time Of the embalm-
ing and burial, which, while it preserved
them, destroyed their germinatingpower.
The cases in which mummy wheat is
said to haze been raised are due simply
to the fraudulent mixture Of modern
with the ancient grains. Chicago Her
