LIGHTNING AND TREES.

The German government has recently caused an inquiry to be made into the subject of lightning and it's effect upon trees, the observations having been in trusted to the overseers of nine forest ing stations scattered throughout an area of nearly 50000 acres in the dis trict of Lippe. It was found that of all forest trees the oak was most suscepti- ble to the attacks of lightning. The forests were found to comprise various kinds of trees in the following propor- tions: Beech, 70 per cent; oak, II per cent; pine, 13 per cent, and fir per cent.
 Of the 275 trees which suffered from lightning during a period of several years, no fewer than 5S per cent were oaks, 21 per cent frs s per cent beeches and per cent pines. It is noteworthy that it has been stated by some English authorities that the beech is seldom or never struck by lightning. The truth of this statement has long been dis proved, and it is interesting to see that the beech in Germany appears to be more often the subject of lightning stroke than the pine.-From Chambers Journal

 Fellow MemberS-On the Sth of De- cember last a letter was addressed to this society by MT Benjamin F. Ste yens. F. S. A., of London, making in quiries as to certain papers relating to the proposed expedition for the reduc- tion of Canada in 1746 He especially mentioned the muster rolls of the ten companies raised in the colony of Con necticut for the above purpose, which had been recently found in the pubic record office of England; and offered, in case these were new historical material, to have careful transcripts made of the rolls and few related papers and pre- sent the same to this society. It re- quired only a glance at Connecticut history to assure us that a discovery had been made of invaluable manu- scripts which have been missing from our state archives for more than one hundred and fifty years Our honored correspondent was accordingly advised of the facts, and his generous offer was gratefully accepted in behalf of this so ciety

No fight in the history Of the prize
ring has ever drawn more money
through the doors than the scientific
battle between kid" Mccoy and
James J. Corbett. Seventy-flve thou
sand dollars were taken in at the en-
trance to Madison Square garden and
Of this amount the pugilists received
60 per cent. Seyenty-tlve per cent Of
this was to 60 to the winner and the
remainder to the vanquished, but 1t is
generally believed among sporting
men that the purse was split equally,
each man receiving $22,500. If this
be true Mccoy has enough to pay him
and more for the crushing blows from
Corbett's lightning fists, which beat
him to the ropes and then curled him
up in agony upon the resined mat.
On the other hand, If Corbett re-
ceived Is per cent Of the amount which
was given to the principals by the club
he would have no less sum than $685.
