the central pipe, keeping up the sup

the gas first passing off is nearly pure

from the three lowest stills it is 55 per

alone, oxygen Of about 80 per cent may
be had. 1t is estimated that plant
treating 500 tons of air per day would
yield 1l0 tons of 80 per cent oxygen

is to expose them to frost, causing the
leaves to fall, after which they grow
as in spring. The plan is sinconvenient
and somewhat uncertain. In 1895
Prof. Johannsen showed that exposure
to ether vapors has the same effect
as cold, and Prof. Albert Maximene
has now brought forward proof that the
process is practicable. The plants are
placed for fifty hours in tight box
containing ether vapor, the soil under
them being kept dry. The leaves fall
and the flow of sap is arrested, when
warmth and moisture cause a rapid
development Of new leaves ,and bios

have been shown in September,
month after etherizing. The process is
most effective from July to Septem-
ber, and it is at present adapted only
to plants that flower in spring on the
previous years wood and form buds
as early as July. These include such
shrubs as the azalea, spirea, SNOWFALL,

The origin of pearls has been sub
iect of much speculation. About $50
years ago Filippi Of Turin announced
that living organism forms the nu-
cleus; and in recent investigation
M. Raphael Dubois, French natural
ist, has shown that all pearls found
in a common pearl bearing mollusk
are cysts enclosing distomes, small
marine worms. In the month Of
August, when few pearls are obtained,
the tiny young distomes, fiftieth of
an inch in diameter, are to be seen
instead as reddish yellow points.
These become gradually coated with
carbonate of lime, in all early stage
appearing as black specks, and later
as brilliant pearls, which remain until
the following summer, when they drop
to pieces and the parasite resumes act
ivity and reproduces it's kind. But if
the parasite dies the crust continues
to grow, large and beautiful pearl,
being but the sarcophagus Of long
dead worm. Just how nearly univer-
sal this cause of the formation of
pearls may be does not appear, but ex-
periments with fresh water pearls
show all egg as nucleus.

Cheap oxygen will effect enormous
saving in fuel, especially in metal
lurgical operations, and will doubtless
revolutionize some industries. Thes sep
aration apparatus Of M. Raoul Pictet,
the Geneva physicist, is in the form
of ten pan-like stills, one upon another.
A vertical pipe passes through the
center of the entire series, and each
still holds supply coil connecting
with supply main at one side Of the
apparatus and the central pipe, and a
discharge coil through which the evap-
grated gases escape. These coils are
long and are so arranged that the
evaporating gases abstract heat from
the incoming air, At starting, the

AS a result of bad roads and heavy
transportation, army horses in Argen-
tina have been overworked during the
rainy season, and many of them have
been exhausted or fallen ready victims
to disease. To give greater endurance,
sugar has been added to the food Of
the animals. The effects have been
quite surprising, and it is reported
that not only has fatigue been over

become quite useless regained strength

Stonehenge, the mysterious monu-
ment of Salisbury Plain. seems to
have been originally circular rooted

stones in it's outer wall and all inner

rounded by circular earthen bank
about 800 feet in diameter. An avenue

date at 1880, B. G., with possible
error of 200 years. Polished f1ints
found in the late raising of one of the
