were witnessed as the people stood
around waiting for the water to sub
side. Many had lost everything they
possessed. The citizens are busily en-
gagged relieving the distress, but the
means at hand are inadequate. The
rainfall the past ten days has been the
heaviest in the history of Oklahoma,
and indications are that more will fol-
low. Reports of losses in the country
west of Enid are meager, hut it is be-
lieved that heavy damage was done.

SCIENTIFIC OBSERVATIONS.

The error of an astronomical chrono-
meter is rarely greater than two one
hundredths of second.
Prof. Walkoff, of Munich, after an
extended study of the skull Of pre-
historic man, recently discovered,
publishes the information that orr old
est male ancestors, in his opinion,
though able to walk erect, could not
talk.
IT having been found that the meter
is not natural unit of measure, it not
being exactly a ten-millionth part Of .
quadrant Of the terrestrial meridian, M.
CABOT suggests that the height of the
column of quicksilver in the baro-
meter, at a given altitude and tempera-
ture, be taken as the standard.
The discoveries of Roman remains in
Britain made in 1902 were even fewer
than those of 1901. Excavations were
continued at Silchester, Caerwent, and
Hadrian's Wall; and the Scottish Anti
quaries, having completed Inchtuthill,
dug up Castiecary. But the results
were uneven in value; the field Of ex-
cavations was not enlarged by new un-
dertakings, and the list of interesting
chance discoveries was short.
