EIGHT MILES UP.

The exploration of the air by means
of balloons carrying self-registering
instruments is pursued with much Wig
or in Europe. On February 7th there
were simultaneous ascents from many
points extending from France to Aus
tria and Russia. One unnamed bal
loon near Paris reached an elevation
of Al $50 feet, not much short of eight
miles. The temperature of the air at
that height as shown by a self-regis-
tering thermometer, was 81 degrees
below zero, Fahrenheit Another bal
LOGON near Berlin found the same tenn
perature at an elevation 10000 feet
less. These experiments are expected
to throw much light on the laws OF
storms and of atmospheric circulation.

laboratory experiments, which show
that under the influence Of pepsin and
hydrochloric acid fresh milk is more
readily digested than sterilized milk.
while the reverse takes place when
the two fluids are subjected to the
action Of pancreatin. When acted
upon by artificial gastric juice. ster-
ilized milk produces a greater guam
t1ty Of peptones during the first four
hours than fresh milk, but after that
period the latter proves to be the more
easily digestible Practically the same
results We're obtained on using lab
ferment, pepsin, and hydrochloric acid.
The action Of labferment and pancrea-
attn was more pronounced in the case
of sterilized milk. .5S5 y Il.
In second series Of researches the
author set himself the task Of deter
mining the relative digestibility Of
sterilized milk, and Of milk diluted
with 10 per cent solution of sugar
OF milk. In every instance the advan-
tage was on the side Of the diluted
milk. The conclusions drawn by the
author from these data are: l. Milk
submitted to the sterilizing action Of
heat shows no impairment Of digesti-
bility, which is superior to that Of
raw milk. O. Milk that has been
sterilized and diluted with solution
of sugar Of milk is more easily digest
ed than pure sterilized milk.

NOTES ON SCIENCE.

How tine speed OF Ships is measured.
The speed Of a ship is measured by 4
log line;a cord knotted every ffty-one
feet; l2o OF these lengths make geo
graphical mile. At one end of the line
is the log, a piece of fat, light wood
generally triangular, and weighted
along one edge, SO that when thrown
overheard it floats vertically with its
fiat face to the ship, and theoretically
stationary. The number OF knots in
the cord being equal to the number Of
half minutes in an hour, it follows
that as many knots as pass over the
stern every half minute, SO many geo
graphical miles-or knots are being
made ia an hour. 5

Now that the value of the open-air
treatment Of consumption has been
demonstrated, the great Importance of
an early diagnosis of the disease is ev-
ident. Unfortunately, it is by no means
easy to recognize the disease in it's
incipiency, for the early symptoms are
not distinctive, and the cause of the
failing health is often not suspected
until the disease has become firmly es-
tahlished. The symptoms calling at
tention especially to disease of the
lungs are generally late in appearing,
and the physician,s suspicious will
usually have been aroused long before
there is any severe cough or profuse
expectoration. AT first there is merely
q falling off in health; the person is
q little below par" and his friends
remark that he is losing flesh. He is
not actually ILL. and his condition
causes him little anxiety, being attrib-
Mted to a rush OF work, or to Worri-
mant caused by q business hitch or
some family trouble. But as time goes
on and the supposed cause of the
trouble has been removed, the patient
~does not recover his strength; on the
contrary, the gradual decline continues
and a noticeable pallor appears. The
aips are blush, the eyes are abnor-
naaaly white, the pinkish hue Of the
nails fade out, the mucous membrane
Of the mouth is pale in medical lam
guage, the patient is anemic. This
paaaor is q suspicious sign; an another
symptOm OF marked significance is a
rapid pulse, one chat beats continu-
sously ninety or one hundred times /
minute. AT this time there is usually
also, more or less fever, although it
may be SO slight as to be detected only
by a frequent use OF the Thermometer.
As fourth symptom OF importance is in
creased perspiration, usually most
marked In the first hours after mid
nightnfght sWeatsbut sometimes
troublesome in the daytime as well.
Cough during this period is as often
absent az present. and in any case is
seldom more than a nervous hacking:
later it becomes more persistent, and
some expectoration appears. But by
this time the physician can generally
detect signs OF lung trouble by an ex-
