tenement house districts of New York city reveal some astonishing facts as to the density of the population in these districts it having been shown that there are more people to the acre there than in any other inhabited region on the face of the earth. In a single dis trict there have been found to be 9S6 persons to each one of its thirty-two acres. It is allowed that these figures may be equalled in some parts of the world but the only information at hand indicates but one district approaching this-a part of Bombay, with popu- lation of 759.66 to the acre in an area of 46. .06 acres. The Asiatic density is com paratively more oppressive, as it is spread over much less floor space, the New York buildings having more sto- ries. The densest small section of Eu- rope is the Josefstadt, of Prague, with it's 485.4 to the acre, but New York's tenth ward exceeds this with not less than 62626 to the acre, and the tenth ward has nearly five times the acre. age of the crowded district in Prague. It appears, further, that the popula- ton of New York city living in tene- ment houses is eight-ffteenths, or lit tie more than one-half of the total pop ulation.

TO sTUDY CLOUDS.

It has been decided that we must know more about clouds, and the In ternational Meteorological society is going to supply the needed informa- ton. The plan comprises calculations of the dimensions of clouds, of their yelocities, the directions in which they move and the compilation of a stand ard international cloud atlas, which will classify all these vaporous bodies according to their relative heights and appearances. The value of these as- certainments to science will be that, given the ability to accurately measure the distance between 0 cloud and the earth, and to find the direction of it's motion, it will be possible to determine the particular current of air in which it is moving. A knowledge of it's d. mensions will be a basis for judging of it's capacity for rain, snow or wind, while meteorologists, having deter mined it's velocity, will be able to cal culate the time it will consume in mov- ing from place to place. The method of cloud surveying will be by base lines, drawn between stations mile or more apart, and connected by telephone. The measurements must be made sim ultaneously, and, as the base line is known, the other distances can be found by triangulation. After deter distance from the earth and its appar- ent velocity, its actual velocity can be calculated by formulae. During the survey photographs of the cloud will be taken at both stations, to make sure that the observers had the same cloud in view. In taking these photo graphs an ingenious instrument called the photogrameter will be used. This is described as resembling a high grade landscape camera, attached to which is a peculiar screen that interposes an orange colored light between the
 
 fluid of the desired color, inclosed in ring of plate glass. The solution may be darkened or frightened, as the brightness or otherwise of the day may require. This orange tint elimin- ates the blueish light that has hereto fore frustrated the efforts of the pho tographer. With this photographers many beautiful cloud negatives have been taken that are as clear and per feet as the finest steel engravings. By means of this instrument permanent prints may be obtained, in series, of the clouds that create special electrical storms.
 Great is science.
