II is known that many deep sea ami
mails are phosphorescent in a high de-
gree, and Mr.. c, c. Nutting, discussing
this phenomenon in the American Nat
u~ralist, maintains that the quantity
of light emitted by such animals Is so
great as to supply over definite areas
OF the sea bottom "A sufficient illumina-
ton to render visible the cO,ors of the
animals themselves. Some cephalo-
pods are furnished with apparatus
which reflects the light from their
phosphorescent bodies upon the sea
bottom over which they float. This
rejecting apparatus Is spoken OF as
IAN efficient bull's-eye lantern for use
in hunting through the abyssal dark
uess."

According to recent experiments by
Stanilas Tetard. n widely known
French agriculturist. wheat and other
cereals can be protected against the
ravages OF crows. which are partlcu-
larly fond Of the grain when its sprouts
are just pushing above the ground,
by treating the seeds before they are
sown with n mixture OF coal-tar. Pc
troleum and picnic acid. This treat
ment. which delays the growth of the
seed for n day or two, but causes no
damage, imparts an odor which Is in
siderable to the crows, but which dis
appears after the sprouts have at
tained IA larger growth. when they are
nc longer subject to attack.

At a recent meeting OF the Academy
OF Sciences in Paris. Mr., G, BONNER
presented a note concerning some very
interesting experiment In grating
plants, the results of which contradict
ed the generally accepted opinion that
