The illuminating power of the sun
at zenith is estimated by Nj. Charles
Fabry at one hundred thousand can
hles.
In recent European experiments,
corpses have been kept for a certain
time inIa bath of chloride of calcium
heated to 123 degrees, then taken out
and stepped for twenty-four hours in
a cold solution of sulphate of sodium.
The bodies are transformed into per-
feet mummies, to be kept indefinitely
Lieutenant-Colonel Bruce, who has
been studying the strange sleeping
sickness" which affects many of the
inhabitants Of Uganda, ascribes the
spread Of the infection to a species of
the famous tsetse fly, whose attacks
are fatal to horses and cattle in Africa
These flies are found to be infected
with the parasite that causes the sleep
ing sickness by entering the blood and
the cerebro-spinal fluid, and the we'll
defined areas Of country to which the
flies are confined correspond absolute
ly with the distribution of the disease.
Where this species of tsetse fly is not
found sleeping sickness is unknown.
A second blossoming Of trees late In
the season, after the usual forming Of
buds for the next year, may result
from some injury, such as removal
Of the leaves, If the inference of NJ.
Il. Apert is correct. In October, 1900,
this observer saw white lilac in full
bloom, the bush having small green
leaves and beautiful clusters Of white
flowers, while some hundreds of feet
away was another bush of the usual
autumnal appen iauce. Investigation
showed that worms had eaten off the
leaves of the first bush several months
before. A return of the worms in July,
1908, was followed by a partial re-
production Of the phenomenon, and M.
Apert believes that second Towering
of fire-injured trees, reported by NJ.
jolly as result of the action of heat,
was really due to destruction Of the
leaves 1t is proposed to test the theory
by removing the leaves of apple trees,
pear trees, etc, in July or August.
1t is an old question, "Are the 70
odd chemical elements really elemen-
tary, or are they compounded of some
thing still more elementaryT In the
light of the recent discoveries about
radium Prof. f. w. Clarke recurs to
a theory, advocated by him many
years ago, that as the planets We're
evolved out Of the original nebula
which gave birth to the solar system,
the chemical elements themselves were
also evolved out Of something far less
complex than themselves. The fact
that existing nebulae are. very simple
In composition, while stars in various
stages of evolution exhibit more and
more complexity, until, in solidified
bodies, like the earth, great number
Of chemical elements with a myriad
Of compounds are found, is regarded as
strongly supporting this theory. The
phenomena Of radium lead to the ad-
ditional suggestion that as in the de,
velopment Of the heavenly bodies we
seem to see the growth of the elements,
SO in radio-activity we witness their
decay.
