Twenty-eight counties of southern
Michigan have lost 10000 in popula-
ton in the past 10 years. This can
probably be accounted for by the de-
cadence of the timber traffic. The de-
nuding of forests is not profitable to
the state, neither does it pay to kill
the goose that lays the golden egg."

THE SUMMER WINDS.

Blown softly down from the green hill's crown,
Uplifted towards the sky,
Faint whispers move through the waiting trees,
The summer winds pass by.
Ger and DER from the pine groves dark,
Through the naples out on the ridge,
And down where the bending elm boughs
Meet the willows grouped by the bridge.
Beyond the stream to woodlands dim
That lie in the valleys breast,
The whisper passes and goes away
Then comes again in its quest
And something sweet from the sky. touched hill
Steals gently to the ear.
The quiet whisperings through the trees
OF zephyrs fitting near
A message bring and its joy repeats
Where the thoughtful walking apart
From clan ors that ring through toiling earth,
Seek natures welcoming heart,
Midst leaves that move like light-winged
thoughts
Ne'er ceasing In swiftest fight,
They pass through shimmering wells o'erhead
Like hidden rays Of the light.
ENJOYS sent from the sky and hill
/ hear you DER and DER!
You thrill my heart as il friends long lost
Held speech with me once more.
Your laden breath brings tenderness
And the moving leaves murmur "Hush'
The air holds balm of gracious peace,
And thoughts of life's needless rush,
OF cares grown old and Of sorrows pain,
Seem dim; uplifted they float away.
Your whispered Joy in the trees hear.
The summers gift to the day.

Summing up the epoch making work
of the London Royal Institution in con-
nection with low temperatures, Miss
Agnes M. Clerke reminds us that the re.
searches, which in 1898 were being de.
voted by Profs. Dewar and Fleming to
resistances of materials in the greatest
attainable cold, were continued through
gift in 1896 of 800, 900 from an Amer
lean, Mr.. Thomas G.. Hodgkins, and
two later donations from the Goldsmiths'
Company. The liquefaction of hydro
gen proved to be colorless, only four
teenth as heavy as water, with boiling
point of--252.5o y. land it was soon solid
flied and found to have freezi,g g point
about Is degrees g. above absolute Zero
Helium, the new gas, has taken the
place of hydrogen as the last of the So
called permanent gases. This has stood
unchanged temperature of 262 degrees
G., but it is hoped soon to cool it to
within 5 degrees @. Of absolute zero
An outcome of these Investigations has
been the discovery that the air contains
1 part of hydrogen in 5000, together
with four previously unsuspected gases
Just now the external ear is receiving
the attention as an alleged index of
human capacity and tendencies that has
been given in turn to the bumps of the
head, the lines of the hand, and 80 op.
DR.. Arthur Keith, who has been investi-
eating the subject from scientific
standpoint, divides ears into two strong
ly contrasted types, marking the op.
posite poles of development. In one,
which he calls the orang-type, the ear
is small and shell-like, with narrowed
descending helix and in-rolled margin;
in the other, or chimpanzee-type, the
ear is large and broad, and the margin
is not in-rolled. Though the orang.
type may seem to justify the impression
that the human ear is a decaying
structure, the central-or active-part is
more highly developed than ever, the
truth probably being that man is evolv-
ing new type of ear. A striking pc
culiarity Of some ears-noted by Dar-
WINS the remnant of a tip pointing
backward from the top, and this seems
to be reversion to an ancestral type.
In general, most females have ears of
the orang-type, while the chimpanzee-
type is chiefly characteristic of males.
Considering the researches thus far
made, with the influence of age, sex,
race, etc., DR.. Keith finds only one de-
duction possible-that slightly greater
proportion of criminals exists among
