In Caesars time the auroch, or Europ-
can bison, existed in great numbers
throughout Central Europe, but in 1872
the species had been reduced to herd
of 52S, confined to one forest under Rus
sian protection. DR.. Radde, a late
traveller on the eastern shore of the
Black Sea, estimates that this herd has
now dwindled to so or 60, and foresees
that the animal, the largest Of existing
European quadrupeds, will become ex-
t1nct within fifty years. All attempts at
dornest ication have resulted in failure.
Since last August gas engine have been
used at Dresden to drive street cars on
a line about 3 miles long. The engine
which is placed under one of the seats,
is of 9 horse power, and has two cylinders,
the ignition being effected by electricity.
The gass is stored under pressure OF
12O pounds per square inch in three
cylinders, each having capacity of 1917
cubic feet. The engine is not stopped
while the car is in service, connection to
the wheels being made through movable
clutches, which can be manipulated to
stop or reverse the car. A speed of 6
miles an hour can be attained with a
car carrying SO passengers, tue cost pei
mile being about Is cents, with gas
at 81 90 per 1000 cubic feet.
Seas1ckess is usually believed to be
due to an influence upon the circulation
in the brain produced by the oscillation
of the ship but this theory although &C.
counting for the gastric symptoms does
not explain all cases. Symptoms OF the
malady are reported by Rubenstein tt
have been often noticed in some persons
when the sea was calm and the vesse
steady. These cases are attributed tt
irritation of the retina by reflection O
the sunshine from the water, the irr1ta
ton being transmitted to the brain, pro
voking the we'll known symptoms. The
trouble has been avoided by turning tn,
back to the sun. The symptoms of sea
sickness have been experienced also il
snow fields and on disert sands, gray O
blue spectacles being the means by which
relief is afforded.
