In his volume on the diseases of the
hair, NJ. X. Sabouraud refutes some
popular errors regarding the cause of
badness. Badness is usually consld-
cred an infirmity of old age, and when
1t takes place in early life all sorts of
explanations are invoked, one as base
less as another. AS matter of fact
the critical age for badness in men is
from twenty to thirty years. Women
are less open to the attacks of the mi
crobe of this disease. The earliest bald
ness occurs in young men of from six
teen to eighteen years, and the skull
Is often bare at twenty-five. The most
common age for the beginning Of the
disease is twenty-three and the bald
ness is usually complete at fifty. The
latest age for the beginning is about
forty. and in such cases the denudation
OF hair proceeds with extreme slow
ness. The younger the subject the
quicker the disease attalns its com
plete effect. 1t is not malady of the
aged, but rather of the young.

Professor Tyndall used to explain to
popular audiences. with the aid Of n
brilliant experiment, that the blue
color of the sky is owing to floating
particles of invisible dust that break
up and scatter the short waves, which
are the blue waves. of light. This, as
n writer in knowledge shows, occurs
principally at great elevation, where
the atmospheric dust is extremely fine,
while in the lower regions of the air.
where the dust is coarser, the scatter
ing affects all the rays, or colors alike.
The brilliant fringes of clouds, seen
nearly in the direction Of the sun, are
largely due to dust, which especially
accumulates in the nelghborhood of
clouds, and refracts the sunlight
around their edges.

their effects upon the crops foretold
by means somewhat similar to the fore
casts made day by day by the Weather
Bureau, but in ways infinitely more
far-reaching, and that these predictions
may come from the direct study of the
sun. There are strong indications in
the direction of a future power of pre-
dlctlon as to coming years Of plenty
and of famine.
