4 Patrick Henry In Congress.

For a number of years Mississippi
has sent Patrick Henry to congress.
He does not claim. as many Patrick
Henrys do. to be the only and sole
lineal descendant of the immortal pa
triot. but he comes from that famous
branch of .he family just the same.
Mr.. Henry is the nephew of Patrick
Henry who represented the seventh
district in the last two congresses.
For nearly 100 years the eldest son in
the Henry family has been named
Patrick in honor of the great Virgin

At the observatory OF Athens the
meteors whose radiant is in Perseus
were well observed and the following
conclusions were drawn:
l. That Perseids were more numer-
GUS in 1901 than in 1900.
2. The radiant points We're not wide
ly dispersed.
3. The maximum occurred August
IL, 1901.
4. The radiant point of the swarm
was sensibly displaced.
g. The greater part of the meteors
We're faint and yellow or reddish yell
low in color.
6. Beside the Perseids other meteors
were observed with radiants in other
northern consultations.

Mr.. A. Pizon proposes to substitute
a mechanical theory of vision for the
chemical theory. which leaves many
phenomena unexplained. He has
shown that in the visual organs OF all
the vertebrates and invertebrates. sim
pie or complex. the pigmentary gran
ules that accompany the visual cells
are, without exception. in rapid motion
like that of micrococci,
4 The presence of these granules in
immediate contact with the visual
cells and the constancy of their mo-
tions lead naturally to the conclusion
that they serve as Intermediates in
the excitation of the cells. The gran
ules acquire their energy from the
light and transmit II to the rods and
cones of the retlna with which they
are in contact. and from them it tray
els along the optic nerve. This simple
theory removes several difficulties in
the theory of vision and changes the
received notions OF the Importance of
the purple of the retina. etc.

Discoveries and Inventions

Some results OF the scientific balloon
ascensions made In Europe under the
direction of the International Aeronau-
tical Committee follow: Great varla-
tions of temperature have been found
at different localities even in the up
permost layers OF the atmosphere. The
coolest regions lie TO the northeast, the
warmest TO the southwest OF the con-
tinent. At an altitude of 5000 meters
the temperature was 20 degrees {.
above Paris and only ll0 degrees c.
above Vienna at the same time. The
isothermal lines at 5000 meters run
from south toward northeast. Those
of minus 10 degrees c. extend west
from the north OF the Adriatic sea to
Moscow: those of minus 10 degrees
from southwestern France to st. Pc
tersburg. etc.
Tile isobars OF 5.00U meters also ex-
tend in general in the same direction.
The lowest pressures are above Eng
land the highest above southeastern
Europe. The velocity of the wind in
/ereases from S.3 meters per second at
! 900 meters altitude to 1l.2 meters at
1900. At attitudes above 5000 meters
the velocities are probably above 16
meters.

Tn. Limit of Microscopic Power.

Prof McKendrick, in his presiden.
tial address to the physiology section
of the British association. in Septem-
ber, remarked that the smallest parti-
our present microscopes Is between
one-four-h hundred-thousandth and one
hundred-thousandth OF an inch in
diameter. The diffraction OF light in
the microscope forbids the possibility
OF seeing still smaller objects. Yet the
living spores studied by psychologists
are sometimes. probably. even smaller
in size than the most minute particle
that the most perfect microscope can
show.-Youths Companion.

more than eight years he served as

ordered to Cuba. His regiment took
part in the battle of FL Caney, render

which 1t was in the hottest of the fight
ing. In June, 1899, his regiment was
one of tncse ordered to the Philippines.
and on the Island of Luzon saw active
service almost continuously. During
this period he was promoted to a sec
ord lieutonancy. and served in that ca
pacity until his regiment was mus
tered out about year ago. Feeling
his educational defects very keenly and
being ambitious cf further advance
ment he returned u his native state
and began To east about for school
where members OF his race might
profit by the advantages OF first-class
education, his final choice being Allan

discipline stand him in good stead in
his college life and enable him TO con-

The pird. OF Ancient Egypt.

Messrs. Lortet and Hngouneng hav.
recently investigated the mummified
remains Of Egyptian fishes to discover
the different ancient species. and now
Messrs. Lortet and Gailard have done
a corresponding work for the birds.
These mummies fall into two classes
the mummies of the ibis and those OF
birds of prey. The mummes date,
some from the Roman, some from the
Ptolemaic period. Thirty-eight species
have been recognized and named, most
of which have not been previously
known as mummies. 1t is interesting
to note that the white ibis OF ancient
times was very much larger than the
corresponding bird of our own day
whose habitat is the upper Nile region.

Non-conductor of Electricity.

Prof. Trowbridge of Harvard univer.
sity prints in the Philosophical Maga-
zine researches which lead him to the
conclusion that pure hydrogen is a
non-conductor of electricity. An cleo
tric discharge cannot penetrate an at
mosphere of pure hydrogen. nor. in
fact. any gas. In ordinary cases the
spark is transmitted by the ions, re-
sulting from the decomposition of
water Schumann has shown that
pure hydrogen at atmospheric pressure
transmits ultraviolet rays as freely as
the most perfect vacuum. Hence, this
gas, by Maxwell's theory. must be a
non-conductor. Prof. Dewar has also
shown experimentally that liquid hy-
drogen Is a non-conductor.
