strength Of the general trade situation
is shown by the very satisfactory re-

iron trade has been rather bare OF new

feature that this week more inquiry is
reported for pig iron. and although
new orders are not as Yet numerous
this fact itself is an encouraging one.
In the steel trade there is rather more
anxiety for new business, and some
price shading to secure it.
The mainstay of the allied industries
at present is undoubtedly the immense
export demand. which is taxing the

SCIENCE AND INDUSTRY.

Many persons are desperately
afraid of night air, and so shut them
Eeives into close rooms and breathe an
atmosphere poisoned by human ex-
aalations. 1t is well to avoid draughts,
out night air, as Florence Nightingale
put it, is the only air. we have at night,
and it is much wholesomer pure than
impure.
The Baltimore & Ohio railroad
stands third in the list of freight equip
ment, according to the report of the
Official Railway Equipment Register, in
the possession of eight-wheel freight
ears for all purposes. The total num-
per of cars is 34,674. OF this number
almost $4,000 are box cars and $4,000
coal cars, the others being refrigerator,
live stock, passenger and caboose cars.
M. Forel, in his excellent work on
ants, has pointed out that very young
ants devote themselves at first to the
eare of the larvae and pupae, and that
they take no share in the defense of the
nest or other out-of-door work until
they are some days old. This seems
natural, because their first skin is COM
paratively soft; and it would not be well
for them to undertake rough work or
run into danger until their armor had
had time to harden.
The true meridian line of Suffolk
