A shovelful of earth, Mr.. G.. Clark
INITIAL tells us, contains eleven thou
sand millions of bacteria. These are
various species, performing such work
as breaking up refuse matter, and not
the least interesting is the new found
germ of earth-smell. This germ sets
free a little understood volatile COM
pound whose vapor is perceived as the
familiar odor of damp soil. The vapor
is evidently prevented by water from
escaping, and increases iii the air after
rain. when the odor becomes most
noticeable.
A singular result of the recent ex-
periments of Professor Angelo Mosso
on the physiological effects of high al
tltudes is that o mountain ascent may
produce such a fattening of the lum-
bar curve that a nan may be an inch
and a half shorter on the summit of
Monte Rosa than when he is in the
valleys beneath. The height of Monte
Rosa, the second loftiest peak of the
Alps, is 1925 feet. The cause Of the
shortening is partly the exertion of
climbing. The human stature always
dlaanishes slightly during the day.
The wet-bulb thermometer, for de-
moisture in the air, is madc
and used as follows: Provide two ther-
mometers and tie a bit of the thinnest
muslin n%eatlyi around the bulb of one
OF these and keep it soaked with water.
Lift this thermometer out Of the water
and whirl it briskly through the air
for two minutes, if the air is very dry,
and for three or four minutes if the
mir is very moist. Read it quickly,
aud it gives the temperature of a thin
|a5er of water evaporated under the
influence of the wind produced by the
Fhirling. The dewpoint of the air
n which the thermometer is whirled
IS about as far below the wet-bulb as
his is below the temperature of the

is that large concerns which have already
an enormous issue during six days OF the
week should seek to flood the town with
their broad-sheets on the Sunday, not to
supply any actual want, but merely to ada
to their present profits. 1t is interesting
to note that the cry of extending Sunday
labor, which has been refuted with very
considerable success Is now dropped, or
at any rate put in a very secondary con-
dition. 1t is difficult to understand how
coercive measures could be adopted against
the old-established Sunday prints, II such
measures were desirable and as for the
new ventures, it is evident that the matter
must rest largely with public opinion.

In his column OF the previous week Sir
Edwin gives it as his opinion that the
Americans might conquer the Philippines
II they would undertake the reformation of
three customs which at present keep the
states back from q glorious future. The
first is reading the small print in the
newspapers, which Is rendering the people
myopic;" the second is ''the baleful habit of
drinking iced water before and during
meals This last he stigmatiZes as "a hid
den Nemesis arising from the too obstinate
independence of the race" Nemesis appar-
entity takes the shape of dyspepsia, owing
to plated knives being too duh to cut food.
After assuring Americans that he Cloves
and occasionally adnires the United
States" Sir Edwin Arnold ends this prec-
ious thought as follows: IF Liberty would

estal in New York harbor and set these
three unnoticed matters right, Senior Agui-
