Scientific Miscellany.

The new science Of ''physeho- me
chanics" has received attention in
France from DR.. Charles Fere. He
finds that a man has a greater capacity
for average than for either intense or
feeble work, and that ones powers
vary greatly with mental conditions.
Contrary to general belief, mental
work does not rest one physically tired
or vice versa. Capacity for work in
.oreases TO a cerain degree with heat

ing effect and darkness depresses

has a complex aud variable effect;
and odor and taste stimulate and then

diminishes muscular work. Most
nerve poisons opium, ~hasheesh, val
erian, alcohol, tobacco, coffee, tea,
etc.,-pToduce trau,itory stimulation
which IS followed by depression, d.
diminishing the total work.
Gums are a botanical puzzle. DR.,
Greig Smith, Of Sydney, has now shown
that some are due to bacteria, and he
has isolated some species-like that
of "arabin"-and made them produce
their gums in the %labratory. He sug
gests that all other gums are bacterial
products, and that the worlds supply
might be increased by iudicious select

Human heads are characterized by
potassic hair and sodio hair III the
classification of j. Gaube, a French
chemist. He finds blonde hair to
contain muoh soda and much silica;
red hair to be very rich in silica; and
black hair to have a great deal of
potassium, but little soda and scarcely
any silica.
