Various Notes.

The British Medical Journal reports tha
those working with the X rays are likely
to suffer from variety of skin affections
said to be similar to the results of nburn.
Gold in transit across the Atlantic
"sweats," however tightly it may be
packed, says the Age of Steel. 1t is
usually sent in stout kegs, and squeezed IN
as tightly as possible, but there is regu-
lar allowance for loss by attrition upon
the voyage, and in the course OF years this
loss to the commercial world amounts to a
large sum.
In paper on the Antarctic continent,
read before the Royal Society of New
South Wales recently, &. Healey stated
that the evidence collected tends to show
Antarctica as an unstable area, at one
time dissolving into an archipelago, at
another resolving itself into continent.
From the distribution of the pond snail
Gundlachia he argues a narrow land con-
nection during Mesozoic time between
Tasmania and Terra del Fuego across the
south pole, and that New Zealand at that
time reached sufficiently near to this Ant
arctic land To receive by flight or drift
many plants and animals.
