Prof. Louis Agassiz, many years ago,
first announced that the ice sheet, or
glacial flow, at the northwest Of Maine
could not have been less than n mile
deept while later biologists have con

recent conclusion that the ice was Of
that thickness at least over the larger
part of New England.
From calculations made by Prof ii.
c. Wilson, which are quoted in Nature,
there seems reason to suppose that the
conditions under which Halley's comet
will return to US in 1910 will be much
the same as those under which it APP
peared In 1906. 1t was then one Of
the grandest objects which ever ap-
peared In the heavens, and made a ire

The growing industry Of extracting

plant at the falls Of Foyers, in Scot
land, has hitherto been the largest in
Great Britain; but now a still larger
plant, at Kinlochleyen, utilizing the

is about to be put into operation for
the production Of aluminium. Its nine
hydraulic turbines, each of 5000 brake
