Countries may be known by their
street-cars. The rush and jar of New
York is eXempltied in the rapid, rude
transit of its inhabitants. So the
character of orderly little Holland
may be gathered from observation Of
her car service. Says J. U. Higinbot-
ham in 'Three Weeks in Holland and
Belgium:
Street-car fare in Holland is three
cents a trip, and for four cents you re-
ceive return ticket The conductor
carries more documents than Con-
gressman. For every fare he opens an
aluminium box about four by six, and
hands out a receipt or a return ticket,
as the case may be.
When the passengers pay with tick.
cts, he places the ticket in a leather
pouch hung by a strap round his
neck. 1t is important that you retain
the receipt given you, for at uncertain
intervals a "cOntrolleur' gets on the
car and examines all receipts, puts his
o. X. on them with rubber stamp,
and compares the result with the mani
fest or log carried by the conductor. 1t
is quite the correct thing to tip the con-
ductor with Dutch cent or two.
Each car has card inside STATING
how many places there are, and on
each platform is another saying how
many people may stand thereon. When
the seats and both platforms are full,
the sign, "Vol," is put up, and no more
are permitted to get aboard. Our car
probably had thirty people in it and on
the platforms, and was turning busi-
ness away at every crossing.

Magnetic observations Of the extinct
volcano called the Puy de Dome. in
Central France, have brought out the
curious fact that the mountain is mag
netized not merely at certain points,
but as a whole, the top of the dome
acting as a south magnetic pole. Sin
gularly enough, similar observations on
the Kaiserstuhl, a mountain in Ger
many, indicate that it possesses a north
magnetic pole at its summit.
The new satellite Of Jupiter. discov-
cred at the Greenwich Observatory last
winter, proves to be very interest
ing object, both on account of its great
distance from the planet, more than
20,00O,000 miles, and its retrograde mo-
tiOn. Prof. George Forbes suggests
that this satellite may turn out to be
the long-lost comet Of Lexell, which
was last seen in 1T79, when it made
very close approach to Jupiter.
According to report issued by the
Canadian government the Dominion
owns thirteen Marconi stations on the
gulf and on the Atlantic spahonrd
Three Of these are what are known as
"low-power" stations and cost f1.OO0
each; the others are known as "high-
power" stations, and cost f2,O0O each.
The Marconi Company receives $500
and f700 per annum, respectively for
operating them, retaining all the re-.
ceipts
The lower atmosphere and the upper
atmosphere are believed by Prof. j..
Ham to be two very different gaseous
mixtures. At the earths surface the
composition is: Nitrogen, 1903: oxy-
gen, 20.99; argon, 0.04; carbonic acid,
O.O3; hydrogen, 0.01; neon, O.OO15 ;
helium, 0.00015; kryktOn, OOOO1O. At
a height of twenty kilometers (12.43
miles, he finds the nitrogen increased
to S4.34 per cent, with 1919 of oxy-
gen. At 100 kilometers, the hydrogen
seems increased to 99.45 per cent. with
0.453 of helium and only 0O99 of nitro
gen.
Although the aeroplane principle Is
preferred by nearly all the inventors
who are now at work on the flying ma
chine problem, there are a few who
think that something may be accom-
plished with heliXes, or screw pro-
pellers, revolving about vertical axis,
and thus eXerting a direct uplift. Paul
Cornu, a Frenchman. has recently pro-
duced a machine on this plan, which
he calls helicoptere, and which has
proved itself capable of lifting him Il
few feet from the ground. The ap-
paratus comprises two double-winged
heliXes and two planes under the gov
ernment of levers. The heliXes do
the lifting, and the reaction upon the
planes of the air set into spinning mo-
tion by the helixes is expected to give
the horizontal motion. A 2+horse- power
motor furnishes the power.
