What is one animals meat may be truly an
others poison. Mr.. J. 3. Harting lately repor-
ted to the London Linnean Society several cases
in which parrots were poisoned by eating pars-
ley; and he recalled that. on the other hand. the
berries Of the yew and privet, held to be poison
GUS to man, are greedily eaten by blackbirds.
thrushes and other birds. Cases are on record,
however of the poisoning of pheasants by yew
leaves. The immunity of goats from yew poison
ing is remarkable in view of the fact that deer
and cattle have died after eating the leaves, al
though suggested explanation is that the dried
leaves eaten by cattle differ from the green
leaves eaten by goats.

About thirty different theories are found by
NJ. A. B. Chauveau to have been offered to ex-
plain the diurnal variations Of atmospheric cleo
tricity. From a comparison of various records,
he concludes that the influence of the soil
probably due mostly to the evaporation of mega
lively electrified water-is disturbing cause in
the daily variation, and that the general law of
variation is represented by simple oscillation
having maximum in the day and remarkably
constant minimum between 800 and 4.30 A. NJ.

though himself a rabid teetotler, he could not
endorse the assertions on this subject often

full tendency Of even small doses of alcohol has
been definitely proven in recent experiments.
The nervous system is injuriously affected by it,
the oxidation necessary to the protoplasm of the
brain is diminished. and a certain amount of
tissue degeneration is produced, even in healthy
persons. Hospital practice with alcohol has
greatly changed during the last half century.
In cases of pneumonia and typhoid fever, milk
has been largely substituted for the alcohol for
merly used, and in surgery the antiseptic system
of Lord Lister has made alcohol unnecessary.

Folds of rock, with allied phenomena are re-
produced for the instruction of geological stu
dents by novel apparatus devised by Prof G..
A. Lebour, of the Durham College of Science.
Two parallel wooden rollers, about four inches
in diameter, are mounted about three feet apart
and are provided with gears and crank to rotate
them slowly in opposite directions. A sheet of
rubber is firmly attached to both rollers. The
rubber is stretched by rotating the rollers. when
layers of cloth, clay or paste are laid on it. and
on reversing the rotation the folds are shown
gradually growing with the contraction.

strongly worded circular to al lady prin-
cipals of girls reading o dealing
with this subject. This official note is in
truth an injunction from the government
LAYING down orders bou the injurious
use Of the corset n tight lacing. The
order states:
"As it has been proved SCIENTIFICALLY
that tight lacing. and indeed the wearing
of corsets generally. are prejudiciai TO
health. since they hinder the perfect de-
velopment of the human body and the
working of it's organs, the undersigned
commands you to forbid the scholar or
your schools to wear cOrsets IN future.
This letter is signed by the minister IN
question, and is believed to be geheraly
acted upon by the ladies concerned.
Curiously enough, such a Democratic
place as America is getting M same
ideas. for there has been promuigateu
within the last few weeks at Detroit an
order from the board Of education Tor
Michigan state to all women teachers III
it's schools f~orbidding them to wear cor
sets. "Corsets interfere with the teach
er's efficiency in making graceful poses
that ladies look more elegant without
the prescribed garment, and that teach
ers who do not lace tight, and do not use
corsets at all. will be bile more eHectlVe-
ly to impress their scholars and educate
them in appreciation of the beautiful ana
lovely" Blu there the teachers are not OF
the same mind as the board, so trouble
is brewing.

X-RAY USED.

TIL Queen of Portugal has adopted a
most novel manner of demonstrating to
the women of her court that there are
many evil effects caused by tight lacing
by having nearly all of her attendants
photographed by means of the Roentgen
X-rays. This shows conclusively the
foolishness of the custom. All of the
pictures, and she has one of almost every
one of the women, show the deformity
not only of theoutward body from those
classic lines of that famous model of all
women. the Venus de Milo, but the
cramped positions of the organs OF the
body, their deformities and the loss of
their correct positions in the anatomical
frame as well. 1t is said that these pic
lures show up these defects to a taste
that suits the purpose of the queen in
the present case to a nicely. She has
been busy ever since they have been COM
pleted showing them to her women, and
giving lectures to each Of them on the
folly of ~thepractice.
Other high authorities in various
countries have lately taken action with
a view to restraining what is threatening
in many lands to become a serious evil.
In Riumania there has just been issued
by the minister of public education a
