On the next steamer from San
Francisco DR.. Maxwell, the agri-
cultural chemist, Is expected to
arrive here. This gentleman has
been engaged by the Planters
Labor and Supply Company. A
Laboratory will De fitted up in
Honolulu-probably in the Judi
ciary Building-where DR.. Maxwell
will prosecute his investigation in
agricultural chemistry. This is a
step in the right direction. Since
the beginning of the sugar industry
many of the planters have been
working by the rule of thumb me-
thod, and, owing to the wonderful
fertility of the soil, have done re-
markedly we'll; but, unlike the
flowing brook, prosperity does not
run on forever. Low prices for
sugar and decreasing yields have
forced the Hawaiian planters to
use more exact and economical
methods. AS soon as DR.. Maxwell
gets his laboratory in working
order, any of the planters will be
able to have their soils analysed,
and receive definite instructions as
to what is needed to make the land
yield the heat Dnasihle results.

Of about 300 tons. Ordinary city gas is
used, and this is stored under pressure
Of about 1900 pounds per square inch in
80 steel tubes, each having capacity of

a mean speed Of about miles an hour

A New Electric Clock.-The General
Electric Company of Berlin proposes to
adopt the new clock OF Herr Won Hefner-
Alteneck, which may be placed in the
same circuit with incandescent lamps,
and is claimed to solve the problem of
providing an inexpensive yet effective
system of controlling clocks electrically.
The current keeps the clock wound at
an annual cost not exceeding that of one
16.candle lamp lighted for 10 hours
Perhaps 8 or 10 cents. Should the
circuit be broken, the clock will run
without the current about - hours
The control can be operated by hand
from the dynano-room or automatically
from an observatory, and consists of
mementary lowering of the circuit poten-
tial by 6 to 10 volts once every "a hours,
the effect being to set all clocks in the
circuit exactly together. The lamps are
not appreciably affected.

Volcanoes of the United States
Excluding Alaska, the United States
may be said to be non-volcanic, states
Mr.. Ralph S. Tarr, but it has not been
so long. A chain of volcanoes extends
from southern South America into
Maxico, then there is large break, and
the interrupted chain begins again in
Alaska, curves southwark, and joins the
chain of Japan. The intermediate nom
volcanic area just emerged from an era
of stupendous activity. Future resump-
ton of such activity IS probe, for
in the West are volcanoes so recent as,
like Mt. Shasta, to retain their couical
from, and some of these perhaps are no
more dormant than was Vesuvius before
the fatesul year 70, when it buried Pom
peii and Herculaneum beneath the most
terrible storm of stones and ashes ever
known to man. In the Canon of the
Colorado, in the deserts of Nevada and
Utah, and in New Mexico, exist small
lava flows that must have been erupted
in very recent years, probably since the
white mans discovery of the continent.
These seem to record the death throes
OF the country's latest volcanic giants.
The eruptions have played part in
bringing up stores of metals, and the
richest mines are found in tho volcanic
diatr,cta NJ Torf,arv tinooo

The first steam engine in France was

Few had been built up to 1916, but the
number of boilers reached 1000 in 1883,
exceeded 5000 in 1889, and had risen to
1887 in 1898. The first railway, one of
IA miles between Saint Etienne and the
Loire, was laid down in 1928. II 1910
there were 142 locomotives, while, in
1893 the number was 1O,751. In 1847
there we're II sea-going steamers and

Distinct tides in the atmosphere, cor

Distinct tides in the atmosphere, cor
responding to those of the sea and
produced twice daily, by lunar attraction,
havebeen traced by M. Bouquet de la
Grye in the barometric records of sta
ton removed from powerful local dlstur~
Dances. The recorded observations Of
Brest, St. Helena, Cape Horn, Batavia
and Singapore give positive evidence of
a regular ebb and flow according to the
moons position. The effect is sight but
is slight but measurable, the greatest
atmospheric tide at Brest being shown
by movement CT h inch in a wather
barometer, which is equivalent to about
one fftieth inch in the mercury barom-
eter. The tided seems to bear about the
same ratio to the weight of the atmos-
phere that the sea tide bears to the
depth of the ocean.
