The Power of LigA tning.

Professor Hoppe reports, in the Ar
chiv fur Post und Telegraphie, a new
example of the mechanical power of a
lightning discharge. In storm that
ragged at klausthal in the Harz noun
tains. a bolt, entering house, struck
a wooden post on whose top two metal
lie nails one-siNth inch in diameter
were melted. No forge could have ef-
fected this; to bring it about, an cleo
tric current of 200 amperes intensity
and 10000 volts tension must have
passed through the nails. Supposlng
that the action of the lightning lasted
a second, the dynamic power thus de-
veloped was equal to 5000 horsepower,
but If, as Is much more probable. the
discharge lasted only a tenth of a sec
ond, we get rate of work that does
not fall short of $4,000 horse power

The Depopulation OF Northern Re
gions.

1.-The last census of Russia" says DR..
ID. CT. Brinton Qn Science, July 19th),
showed that its northern province, Ar
changelsk. had lost over ten thousand
of it's already sparse population within
a decade, not from any general or Vio-
lent cause, but from the Independent mi
grafton of families to more genial
climes toward the South. Mr.. II. c.
Bryant and other Arctic travellers as
sure me that there is no doubt about
the advancing extinction of the natives
of the extreme north of America and
Greenland. DIR. A. Jacoby, in the Ar
chiy fur Anthropologie for November
last. draws painful picture of the de-
generation and disappearance of the
Samoyeds and other boreal tribes of
Siberia. Nearly everywhere the arctic
and sub-arctic zones have fewer inhab-
itants than a half century ago. The
general causes are obvious. One Is the
destruction of the native tribes by the
Introduction of new modes OF life, new
diseases, alcohol and idleness; another
IS the removal of all who can go to
climates of less severity. The arctic
regions, like mountains, were not orig
inally chosen by preference as home,
but were the refugees of conquered and
dispersed bands. Now that the pres
sure is removed such inhospitable
climes will certainly be occupied less
and less. The center of gravity of the
population of the earth tends more and
more to fix itself between the isother-
mails of 40 degrees and 60 degrees we
might even say 40 degrees and SO de-
grees. Neither tropic nor sub-arctic
countries offer the prizes which the
masses of the human race now long
for"
