TEMPERATURE OF THE GROUND
The Earth Sort of Sponge That Soaks
Up Heat.

Translation IN the Literary Digest.
Interesting experiments on the tempera-
ture of the soil, both at the immediate
surface and to a considerable degree below
it, are reported in Cosmos Paris). Heat
travels so slowly through the earth that
although the surface is hottest at noon, a
LAYER two feet below it does not reach Its
hottest period until midnight. At the same
time, Of course, the difference between hot
and cold is vastly reduced even at that
slight depth. This fact was established
long ago for the greater changes involved in
the transition from one season to another.
At a comparatively small depth it is warm
est in midwinter, owing to the extreme
slowness with which the temperature wave
travels downward into the soil. Says the
writer of the note in Cosmos:
The earth may be regarded as sort of
calorimeter storing up in its mass the heat
received at it's surface; the gain of tempera-
ture for period of some days depends on
the value of the total radiation; its study
is therefore an interesting one.
THE great heat of last July Qn France)
presented a very favorable opportunity, of
which advantage was taken at the obServa-
tory of Juvisy, in a series of observations,
from July IL to July II, at different depths
underground. The following results are
given in The Bulletin of the Astronomical
Society:
heat and nocturnal radiation, the tempera-
ture of the earths surface undergoes
daily variation. 1t increases from sunrise
till the early hours of afternoon, and then
decreases till sunrise the day following.
THE amplitude of this oscillation is much
more considerable than that of the air.
Its mean value for the period considered
was 34.9 degrees &. for the surface of the
ground and only 1876 degrees for the air.
IF observe the temperature of the
ground at some depth, we see that the tenn
perature of the subjacent layers follows a
movement analogous to that of the surface,
| but that the amplitude dimnishes very rap
| idly with the depth. and at the same time
| the epoch of the naXima and minima Is
| later and later.
AT - centimeters 40 inches) the mean
! amplitude is only 3.5 degrees; at so cent?
| meters ii falls to o. degrees, and at 10 1t
| disappears completely
THE hours of maXima and minima are
! worth considering. The maximum that oc-
! ours about l pm. at the surface has pene-
| trated by pm. to a depth of % cent?
| meters and by 1 am to so centimeters.
| 1t is the same for the mnima, SO that the
hours OF maximum and minimum are COM
| pletely reversed. This arises from the fact
| that it requires q certain time to pene-
! trate by conduction into the earth's in

BRITISH NAVY DRESS REFORM.
Sailors Will No Longer Make Their
Own Clothes.
From the London Chronicle

From the London Chronicle.
It is understood in British naval circles
that Admiral Sir John Fisher is about to
introduce reform in the matter of cloth
ing that is probably only the preliminary
step toward the abolition of what has long
been one of Jacks most burdensome griev-
ances.
So far the mems clothing has been pro-
weed almost entirely at their own cost
upon plan that was explained the other
day by an official at the marine and naval
clothing store department. Deptford.
ITO begin with he said, 1.-The proposed
reform will apply only to trousers. Under
the present regulations, whenever neces-
sary the cloth is issued to the men, who
have either to make it up themselves or
pay another man for the work. That in
itself, of course, is hard enough. When
one remembers that the army is clothed at
the expense of the nation, 1t seems rather
ridiculous that the cost of naval clothing
should have to be deducted from the men s
pay
but that is not the worst of It, AL
though there is a regulation pattern, such
a detail as the width of the bell of a
mans trousers Is entirely a matter depend
ing upon the taste of the individual cap
tains. One officer may prefer that the
trousers should be narrow. The result is
that man transferred to that vessel may
have to supply himself with new togs.
simply for the sake of a faddy officer. And
Tie SSSleil IeSUitS III sui greater 0dTuSfllp
when you remember that even name rib
bons may have to be changed perhaps two
or three times in a month-transfers are
sometimes as freQuent-a serious matter,
considering that each ribbon costs 10 pence,
though the man might buy it in the shops
at Portsmouth for pence.
II don't know that under Admiral Fisher s
scheme there will be any radical change in
the uniforms The trousers will be all the
same width and transfer to another ship
will therefore involve no alteration
Nothing has been heard of the proposed
change in any of the army clothing de-
partments, and 1t is therefore believed that
the work will be placed in the hands Of
contractors.
AS the matter stands at present, the men
will still have to pay for their uniforms.
But the new regulations will undoubtedly
be great saving to the men. The uniform
Is also to be designed on more handy
lines, and will therefore be more tight
fitting than the style at present in vogue.

WOUNDED LION.
Killed Noted Hunter With One Blow
of His Paw

From the Pail Mall Gazette.
The Indian mail TO hand brings us vivid
and pathetic details of the death of Major
Carney during the lion-shooting exp!oft
in the Cir forest district. The major. Of
course, was the political officer of the vice.;
roy, and the expedition had been arranged
by Lord Harrington on the site OF the lion
hunt prepared for Lord Curzon five years
! ago. but never fulfilled 1t is believed there
are sixty or seventy lions In the Cir and
the major. having spent the past couple
of years in the vicinity, knew the Junagadh
better than any one. On March 0 a tracker
arrived who had been attacked by a lion
while riding into camp. and while ba
dropped his weapons and escaped IL was
only by abandoning his pony and seeing
the animal carried of. =
The shoot was divided into three par
ties. with the major in the second. and It
entered the jungle to depth of about
ten miles. The major and his two friends,
Mr.. du Boulay and Captain Foljambe, se-
lected a tree each ranging along nullah,
and the two latter fired at fine lion,
woundng him high IN the RICH shoulGer.5
The major also hit a lioness. The natives
also fired their -old-fashioned guns, and ii
was thought safe to descend the trees for
consultation and search for the wounded
quarry. The lioness appeared and ran for
a shikari, but the major fired and dropped
her dead. Then there was a pause for
drinks, and the party commenced to fol-
low the lions trail down the nullah for a
mile Now and then the men ass
cended trees to keep a lookout. and at last
the party came into clearance, with
waiSt-high grass instead of trees. y
Suddenly there was roar and the lioC
dashed out, making straight for the major,
who fired one shot, just grazing the beast. .
simultaneously there was a struggling
cloud of dust. in which the natives say
they the lion beat the major down.
with blow of his paw. Captain Foijamhel
fired Mr.. du Boulay up and fired point-f
blank at the lions heart, native fired into
its hind quarters, while others dubbed It
with a rifle-butt and swords. The ma jor
was found to be dead. He must have died
instantaneously. The body was carried.
on a charpoy by torchlght and conveyed
back to Rajlote by special train, and the
shock caused by the news throughout the
Junagadh district was intensely felt Z
1t is added that the lion measured eleven
feet from tip to tail. The others shot were
two lions rather less, and nopess (tho
major'S) of nine feet.

a lady recently who Is getting along in

'.All such personalities seem to me ex-
