What is known as the universal transferable steering propulsor," a French invention. is a light explosion motor that can be attached in place of rudder to any existing boat. without boring hole in the stern-post. and can be removed when desired. It enables anybody to convert -fowboat into gas oline launch for the temporary needs of his day's outing.

 Selenium is known for it's variation in electrical conductivity under the action of light by Rontgen rays. Late experiments by E. van Aubel show that the rays emitted by hydrogen peroxide also in- crease the conductivity. and that essence Of turpentine and substances that have been exposed to ozone have a similar, but feebler influence. Ozone itself had no effect. A striking fact noted was the slow recovery of the selenium after the -ozonized substance had lain upon it. about day being required for 1t to re- gain its original resistance.

 The Rumford spectroheliograph of the Yerkes Observatory is pointed out by w. J. s. Lockyer as opening a new field of research that apparently has no limit The apparatus consists of spectroscope with two slits. one of which is moved slowly over an image of the suns disc, while the second-narrowed to pass only single line of the spectrum that comes through the series of prisms and lenses is given corresponding motion over a photographic plate. The operation gives a picture of the sun in monochromatic light. or light from single element. When the K line of calsium is isolated for instance, the calcium of the solar atmosphere appears as bright f1occuli and patches, dark spaces representing hydro gen and other clements. The bright hydrogen line gives similar hydrogen picture, and it is expected that other clements may be brought out in like man ner, although other lines have thus far proven. too weak for good results. Numer- ous changes in the sun are shown and as these are constantly taking place, 1t Is urged that systematic observations should be undertaken in all counties.

wiid Geese fin Caiiforaia-

LOS -AHBeteB Times af.
 Wild geese are still 50 abundant in California that they are an actual pest to the wheat growers of the great inte- rior valleys. During the winter season they are so numerous on the largest ranches of the Sacramento valley that men are hired to ride over the fields with rifles and shot at them frequently from daylight until dark in order to keep them moving and prevent them from grazing upon the tender young grain. The birds at times congregate in such immense hocks as to seem to cover closely acres of ground. Their destructive powers are so great that in less than an hour ,and sometimes. 1t is said in few minutes. they complete ly strip from the field upon which they rest all the shoots of grain above ground The men employed to keep the geese moving are called geese herders.' They are not expected or required to shoot the birds, but to keep firing at them and so much as possible drive them from the grain lands.

Life of a BattIeship.

HatnundeT.
 A modern navy is not one of the cheap luxuries. Senator Hale stated that the Navy Department proposed to retire the battleships Oregon. Indiana. Massachu- setts and Texas to the purposes of coast defense in 1908 The Oregon was launch ed only in 1896, so that her life as a first class fighting ship will be only twelve years.
 The Oregon cost s5.O0O.OOO, but the bat tleships are now costing $S,OO0.0O0. Any warship now becomes virtually obsolete in a dozen or fifteen years.
 It is well known that the big naval guns are also very short lived. The big gest are worthless after hundred shots The metal becomes crystallized by the shock of the explosions and loses It's ten- sile strength, thus making it dangerous. Hence a bOmbardment costs not only in the ammunition used, but even more in the wear and tear on the gun itself. Ma val authorities speak of these things lightly. for it is not their own money that is being spent, but as a matter of fact a warship is the most expensive thing imaginable to run.

Burgess and Carl Hambuechen seek to dissolve this film by adding to the bath a little sodium or ammonium nuoride. or free hydrofuoric acid. As they find zinc most adhesive to aluminium. they first deposit a thin zinc coating On this other metals, such as copper and silver, may be deposited by the usual electro1ytic methods, but if gold plate is required film of copper must first be deposited. as the gold sinks into the zinc and disappears in a few weeks.
 Horses, dogs, cats and other animals are known to have characteristic odors. and it appears that man has very varia- ble odor. Dr. Burtaro Adacki, a Japa- nese physician, states that Europeans have an emanation that is not noticed by themselves. but is very perecptible to Japanese and Chinese. To these races 1t is intolerable at first, but gradually becomes endurable. and it is probably due in part to the meat-eating habits of the western peoples. The precipitation of vegetarians has no odor. German writer affirms that there are provincial odors. that of Brunswick being dif- ferent from that of Bavaria. and that of Savoy different from that of Normandy Brunettes, blondes and red-headed people have different odors, while individuals have odors peculiar to themselves
 The actinic rays of the sun not only have stimulant and beneficial action but they may produce unpleasant effects. Professor Fermi has been experimenting by exposing many persons to direct sun- light for varying periods, and has pro- tuced many cases-often persisting for many days-of headache. dryness of the nose. snuffing, cold in the head, pharyn- gitis, weariness. slight conjunctivitis dryness of the lips. fever, pseudo-in- fiuenza, constipation. insomnia. nose- bleeding, and various pains. It is con- cluded that exposure to strong sunlight is factor in influenza, hay fever. etc.

Insect That Resemble. a Flower.

Philadelphia Record.
 Living specimens of a queer insect have lately been shown in Cambridge, Eng land. They were brought from Rangoon by Captain c. E. Williams. The insect Is species of mantis, and its body and legs are both shaped and colored to re- semble a beautiful flower. It feeds on butterflies, and while 1t is lying in walt for them under a spray of leaves it looks exactly like a blue blossom with a black spot in the center resembling the tube of corolla. The black part of its body is drawn out into a long green stalk. The resemblance to flower Is perfect, and butterflies and other insects light on it in search of nectar and are tmme- diately seized by It's fatal claws.
