1t would be worse than useless to en-
deavor to trace marine architecture to
it's original inception. The Egyptians
and the Phenicians are joint claimants
for the honor of the invention of water
craft, but it is highly probable that they
originated at widely separated points at
about the same time. Grecian fable
makes Pyrrhon the discoverer of the art
of bending planks by fire SO that they
could be advantageously used in ship
building. The beakhead, rudder and
anchor are claimed by the Egyptians.

Earthquakes and Vegetation.

When people tell us that earthquakes
are capital things we may reasonably be
allowed to entertain suspicious regard
ing their sanity, but if they follow up
their assertions with reasonable argu-
ment then we must perforce give them
some attention. Signor A. Gioran has
been collecting a number of observa-
tons, from which he deduces that the
Effects of seismic shocks upon vegetation
ire to favor more rapid termination of
seeds and a more rapid growth of the
young plants, thus resulting in greatly
increased luxuriance. These results he
believes to be due not to the direct inf1u-
Ince of the tremor, but to three second
airy causes, among which is the pro-
duction of electricity, which always ac-
companies stresses in the earth's crust.
In connection with this we may notice
tome experiments by Professor A. Aloi,
on the influence of atmospheric electric
ity on the growth of plants. From OBJ
