Of Iron with cerium, lanthanium or
other OF the rare earths used for mean
descent gas mantels, and the sparkling
IL found to reach a maximum with the
percentage of iron at 80. A use for lg-
hitting explosives is suggested.
Acting on the instructions OF the
Russian war minister, a number of en-
gineers and other experts are engaged
near the town OF Zlatoust in construct
ing the necessary buildings and placing
apparatus for a wireless telegraph sys-
tenn between st. Petersburg and Vladi-
yostok Communication will take place
through Kassatooy, which is the high
est summit Of the Ural Mountains, near
Zlatoust, where the state iron and steel
works are situated. The engineers rec
ommend the erection of high tower
for the transfer of messages. The only
serious difficulty hitherto encountered
is that Of obtaining sufficient electric
power, seeing that the number Of ma.
chimes is inadequate.
AS we look up through the transpar-
ent atmosphere on a clear night and see
the moon beaming brilliantly down up
on us, we may think. what a wonder
full sight the continents and oceans OF
the earth would present if we could
view them from the moon" But ac-

Mr.. W. D. Denning the English as
tronomer, who is particularly known
for his studies OF meteors. points out
that the meteoric shower radiating
from the constellation Aquarius during
the first week IA May seems 10 be COM
posed Of particles following the path
of llalley's comet II this is a fact, he
thinks these meteors should become
more numerous as the comet approach
es perihelion, probably Ia May, 1910.
The Leonid and Andromedid meteors,
both Of which follow the paths Of com
cts, congregate more thicldy near their
perihelia Mt Denning also remar1s
that since the Aquarid meteOrs are Wis
ible nearly every year, they must Ike
