Statistics for the "a ending August
30 show that automobiles killed as
many persons in England In a week as
railroad trains did In a year. The en-
tire number OF accidents enumerated
IN England n Wales during the Pc
Rod mentioned were 1894, the persons
Injured being 1891 and the deaths All.
The figures show an average Of 1875
accidents a week, with b7.52 persons
Injured and 10 killed every week. Dur
ing the last twelve months the total
number of passengers and railway off,
gals killed by accidents on passenger
trains on British railways vase 8, the
injured being 224.
Confidential reports are henceforth to
play an important part in British army
discipline. Exact reporting is to be
figidly insisted upon. If The reports
are favorable, a promise OF accelerated
promotion is held out to the officers;
II the reverse, he will be condemned
to retire from the profession for which
he shows himself untitled or too care
less to. qualify. Two adverse reports In
succession will bring up the question
pr removal even to men Of long stand
ing: the juniors OF less than three
years service will be incontinently dis
missed If they do not show up well.
In Germany there are twenty-five
universities; in France. under recent
legislation, fifteen; in Italy, twenty-one.
1t is difficult to give the number in the
United States because 1t is clear, from
the tables given in the report OF the
commissioners Of education, that some
colleges are more important than some
universities, and both give the degree
of Ph. p. But of universities In title
there are 1874. Among these there are
forty-six with more than fifty profess
sors and Instructors, and thirteen with
more than $50. :
It is estimated that 100000 sheer
will be shorn during the present shear
ing In New South Wales. Last year'sf
total shorn numbered $4,000, 000. Thus
IN twelve months the focks Of the state
nave naturally increased by 1000, 600.
"A prosperous Landing is predicted, with
q large proportion of double lalnbing.
1t is evident that with the return of
good seasons the pastora. industry IN
the state is making q quick recovery.

Z Russia is, OF. will be5yery shortly, the
possessor Of the old, unchanged issue OF
postage stamps In the world. Until
now Hong-Kong held that position.
The first Hong-Kong stamps We're is
sued In 1853 n are Identical in every
respect with those in use today. The
head of King Edward is, however, soon
to replace that of Victoria, and thence
forth the Russian issue. with the dou-
BILE eagle and shield of st. George,
which first appeared In 1864-65, and Is
still running. will hold the longtime
record.
An apparatus In use In Germany for
the publication Of milk by ozonization
is SO constructed that the milk contain
ed in a vessel flows thence in e thin
stream into another vessel placed be-
low. The wires and carbon points of a
strong electric battery are SO arr eeaged
that the light arc passes through the
stream or near 1t. The Eon which is
thereby engendered from the oxygen of
the air is said to ne sufficient to kill
all micro-organisms contained In the
milk.
A German chemist removes the pol
aonous nicotine from tobacco bysteep-
ing the leaves before they are made up
In a. solution of fannie acid, which com
bines with the nicotine and forms a
substance quite inactive and harmless.
In order to increase the favor of the
tobacco It is then treated with a de-

Old people have an atrophied sense OF
smell, and they do not seem to be con-
ectous Of this infirnltty. Even when
they al scarcely distinguish one IA
miliar odor in ten,and when they take
strong smelling liquids for pure water,
they assert that they enjoy the per-
fume of flowers when they are able to
see them. The olfactive image thus
has an independent intellectual exist
snce, since II ts capable of functional
revival.
