The route to be chosen for the trip
has not been definitely settled IN,
nor the time. In general way. how
ever, Mr.. ROtch approves of July 1st,
1908. as the date for setting forth, and
would be inclined to follow the timer
ary suggested by Prof. H. II. Hide
brandsson Of Upsala, who would haze
him start from the Azores Islands,
after landing a party at San Miguel
for brief observations of the clouds and
for kite soundings. The party would
proceed thence to Tenerliffe by way Of
Madeira, through an ocean tract where
the anti-trade Is always in evidence,
since 1t dips in some places as low as
5000 feet. After q stay in the neigh
borhood Of Teneriffe they will 60 south
past the Cape Verde Islands to the
doldrums, and thence westward to the
South American coast, running at right
angles to the southeast and southwest

Africa some curious phenomena will
demand their attention at Mauritius,
where the upper winds are regularly
from the northwest against the SCH h
east trade. On Ascension Island they

Guesses at the worlds age differ, wide
ly. Sir Edward Fry points out that
the physicist, reasoning from the dis
sipation Of the earth's heat, the con-
traction Of the gun. and the action of
the tides, finds that the earth consoli-
dated at time nearer 20 than 40 mil
lion years ago: while the geologist,
from the present rate at which sand,
chalk. ETC., are being deposited by river
and sea. infers that $50 million years
must have elapsed since life began soh
the globe. The biologist thinks the
time must be still more vast since the
beginning Of life. on the assumption
that species have multiplied by very
slow variation. the estimate being 2.700
million years. Sir Edward contends
that the sinkle, phenomenon OF "pelor-
isrn." sudden transmissible variation
among plants, sufficiently shows that
the biological estimate is unnecessar-
lily long. This abnormal development
was first observed more than.16 years
ago In the yellow toad-flax OF q Baltic
island. and has since been traced by
one observer In 10 varieties OF plants.

An attempt to fix the velocity of light
with greater accuracy, using the
toothed-wheel method of Fizeau under
improved conditions, has been described
by M. Pefrotin. In previous expert

travel distance of IL kilometres (7.452
miles) and back. but in the recent trials
1t was reflected from a mirror placed at
distance Of 45 kilometres COS. .566 miles)

Fingers and Toes to Spare.

Men with an extra finger or toe
may sometimes be seen, but very
rarely does one hear or see a per-
son with twenty four fingers and
toes. Consequently, a servant Of
the Marquis de Balincour., who is
thus equipped, is at present excit-
ing much interest among European
scientists.
He is young man, and on each
hand he has six we'll developed fn-
gers, while on each foot he has an
/equal number OF we'll developed
toes. 1t is not known whether he
inherited this anomaly, but the as.
sumption is that he did. His SUI
pernumerary members are of no
special use to him, but he is never
allowed to forget that he possesse s
them, as his comrades, for an OBJ
vious reason, have nicknamed him
"Twenty-four."
DR. CAPTAIN, a well-known ethno-
logist, writing on this subject, says:
"There are two forms 81 this sngu-
lar phenomenon, the true aud the
hybrid. In the true form, as seen
in the case OF the Marquis's SER
want, the supernum rary fingers and
toes are complete additional mem
ber., the fingers being usually placed
beside the thumbs and the toes be-
side the great toes Ia the hybrid
form on the other hand, the addi-
tional fingers and toes are merely
result of division, which has
taken place in the regular members.
"The thumb is the part usually
affected, and it may be divided at
the first joint, though the division
generally starts AT the base All
the other fingers may be divided
in similar manner; iadeed, as
many as fifteen fiogers have been
found on one hand, Atavism is
evidently the causA, but one would
have to travel very far back in
order to discover the origin OF snch
fingers and toes."-Ey.

London, Dec. 7,--serious differences
have recently arisen between the Ouch
ess OF Marlborough and some of the
workmen employed on her splendid
London mansion which Is now nearing
completion. Some time ago she ordered
marble from Irish quarries to replace
Italian stun OF which she did not APP
prove. The Connemara product was
duly delivered in its rough state and
Italian workmen were set to work to
polish il. Her grace came one day to
see how the polished marble looked and
she was so disappointed with it's APP
pearance that she wired to Connemara
asking the American syndicate which
is working the quarrIes to take 1t away.
When an expert from the quarries ar
rived he discovered that the marble
had been "queered" in the polishing
and he asked the duchess to allow him
to put one of his own men at work
at piece OF the marble. Her grace
was astonished at the result II was
pointed out to her that the Italian
workmen who were all competent
craftsmen neglected to do their work
properly because the product of their
own country had been rejected. She
gave orders to clear the Italians off
the premises Immediately. The con-
tractors argued that they were under Il
contract to have work finished by a
certain date, and II the polishers were
discharged the French and Italian
carvers would be likely to strike. II
don't care" said the duchess, IF the
house Is not finished for five years
these men must not be employed here
And the men had to go.
