 During the recent scientific expedition to Spitzbergen under the direction or Professor Natlforst. the bacterioloGlst of the expedition made careful examinations of the polar atmosphere to determine the amount of impurities 1t contained. In more than ninNty different places on Bear island, Spitzbergen and King Charles Land air was filtered and not a single germ was found in 1t, although over 21,O0O' liters of air were subjected to the test, Similar investigations were made in regard to the purity Of the water snow and ice.

Tyranny of the Tip.

London Black and White,
 1t is becoming a common occurrence to hear of railway passengers being charged with assaulting others in the fight for seats. The system Is a scan- dalous one which admits of the incon- ,Eerienoe from which these brawls arise. 1t regularly happens that the London Chatham and Dover and Southeastern trains coming into town in the morning rhhye certain compartments labeled: "Re- served for MT. Various Party" The occupants of these half-filled carriages have secured their unfair advantage by tips to the guards or porters earlier in the journey. The result is that others awaiting the trains nearer town must travel second or third class after paying first-class fare.
