The fine elements OF scientific cal

and operation OF that wonderful in

Abort Water Currents.

At Arsostoli, in the island of Cepha-
lonia, is point at which four currents
of water set in from the sea and sink
into the limestone of the cliffs, giving
an anomalous water power that, in the
middle of the century, was used for
driving two grist mills. The fall in
this case from sea level to the surface
OF the discharge pits being three to five
feet. and, allowing q flow of 1000 cubic
feet per minute to be necessary to
drive the mills, the estimate made by
scientific Investigators is that the an
nual consumption Of water must have
been two billions of cubic feet. which
would fill a chamber about five miles
long, 1000 feet wide. and seventy-fve
deep. AS the flow seems to have been
century-perhaps for many centuries
II cannot be assumed that the water is
simply filling assure. Some other the
cries, such as evaporation in the pOr-
GUS rock or on encountering volcanic
fires, are not regarded as satisfactory.
The novel conclusion has therefore
been entertained by some biologists
that the water returns to the surface
after being heated. the difference in
density between the cold water enter
ing the underground channel and the
warm water emerging. being. it is
thought. sufficient to account for
difference in height that would enable
the warm column to empty into the
sea, while the cold column is depressed
below sea level.

smallest particle that the human eye
can detect measures about one one

of from sixty millions to one hundred

If metals by electroplating, or of olive
Oil on water-the latter a favorite
process: the thickness of the films is
measured in various ways. and the ap-

calculated. In one case the film was
found to be one ten-millionth of an
inch thick. and as. presumably, there
were at least five layers of molecules,
the individual molecules could be no
more than one fifty-millionth inch in
diameter.
