Japan has thirty-two time piece fac
tories, which turn out annually goods
valued at nearly 100000, the latest
figures being 2O9,792 standing clocks,
Al, 755 hanging clocks and 25,36O
watches.
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 a mile
deepi while later biologists have con-
firmed his statement, adding the more
recent conclusion that the ice was of
that thickness at least over the larger
part of New England.
From calculations made by Prof. H.
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 ap-
peared in 1866. It was then one of
the grandest objects which ever ap-
peared in the heavens, and made a ire
mendous impression upon the medieval
world.
A great deal Of attention has recent
~ been given to the cultivation of rub
Der, on account of the continually in
creasing demand for it. Prof. Francis
e. Lloyd points out that "the ineivt-
able struggle of man with nature" has
already manifested itself in this new
field. Already a considerable number
of parasitic enemies have been discov-
largely concentrated upon cultivated
rubber trees" 1t Is another problem
for science to deal with.
The growing industry of extracting
aluminium has stimulated the search
for water power in the British Isles,
because the extraction. of aluminium Is
so expensive that only low cost power
can be economically employed. In this
respect Scotland, with its mountains, IS
coming to the front. The water power
plant at the falls of Foyers, in Scot
land, has hitherto been the largest in
Great Britain but now still larger
plant at Kinlochleven, utilizing the
rainfall over tract of 55 square miles,
is about to be put into operation for
the production of aluminium. Its nine
hydraulic turbines, each of 5000 brake
horse power, are the largest water
wheels in the British Isles.
Prof. Edward L. Nichols. in his adj
dress as retiring president of the Amer
lean Association for the Advancement
Of Science, used these suggestive SEN
fences: with the development of the
doctrine Of energy has come the con-
viction of an end of the world, inevita-
BILE, as the death of the individual is
inevitable. In neither case, however,
is longevity to be regarded as neces-
sarily beyond human control" Profes-
sor Nichols then went on to say that
biologists are beginning to intimate the
possibility. remote but thinkable, Of

There really is nothing in Chicago
that a visitor cannot buy. Or, to be
exact, there is nothing in Chicago that
some obliging gentleman wearing a
large checked suit is not willing to
sell to the visitor at bargain. The
latest bargains put before bucolic
strangers are to be found in its collec
ton Of public parks. 1t seems strange
that the parks were not put on the
market before, along with the skyscrap-
ers, the stock yards, the bronze lions
at the entrance to the Art Institute
and the gilded Diana on the tower of
the towering Ward Building, But
it seems they were overlooked until an
Iowa cattle raiser was seen gazing with
enjoyment at the broad acres and the
lagoons Of Sherman Park, whereupon it
was sought to convince him that E
park in the city was just what every
farmer ought to own. It would cost
only 1,SOO-careful questioning having
developed that to be the amount Of the
strangers roll-but, much to the dis
gust of the prospective purchaser, some
meddlesome policemen came along and
spoiled the deal by arresting the real
estate agents. Beyond doubt some other
Western cattle raiser, learning Of this
latest outrage upon the prerogative of
an American citizen to buy what he
wants, will feel impelled to get even
by going on with few hundred dollars
and purchasing Lincoln Park or the
Lake Shore drive so quietly that the
police will not know anything about
1t. Prosperity in the cattle business
and prosperity in the confidence indus
try appear to be one and inseparable
If only they are relieved from the in
reference Of a paternalistic govern
ment.

The Earl Of Leicester. who died re-
Gently, was known as the first farmer
of England" On the great estates
which he inherited from his father
were first introduced methods Of scien-
tif1c farming which have greatly bene-
flied English agriculture. They include
the four-course rotation in crops, tur-
nips, barley. clover, wheat and the live
stock shows. The earl was interesting
not only as farmer, but as an exam
pie Of longevity in a long-lived family
No less than one hundred and fifty
seven years separated the birth Of the
father and the death of the son. and
the son married his second wife one
hundred years after the father married
his first. The father of the earl who
has recently died headed deputation
from Norfolk to urge George III to ac-
knowledge the independence Of the
American colonies. He died at the age
Of ninety, the son at the age of eighty
seven.

Why That OF Violet Color is U@ed
by Many Personu.
A business man who uses violet writ
ing ink in his Office, and who is some
thing of reckless punster, on being
once asked why he did not use black
ink for his correspondence, replied
with an abandoned chuckle that he
wished his correspondence to be Sin
violet" His real reason, as is that
Of most persons who prefer this color,
is a practical one. Violet ink, unless
tho flow is unusually free, dries al
most Immediately upon being put to
paper, and thus saves the bother of
blotting. Moreover, it stands out we'll

it's good, the bronze green in 1t

and renders it distinct. Green ink

what they have written, should use a
strong colored ink in preference to a
pale-black ink, even when the latter
so many good black inks do The pale
ness of the first impression on the
paper is an annoyance to nervous
writer's; there seems something in
effectual about the appearance of the
writing to them, sub-consciOus though
it be, and any added discomfort of the
kind tends to interrupt and impair the
flow of thought. Red ink is used prop
erly for emphasis, ruled lines and or
namental purposes only; reading of
much writing in red ink, especially on
white paper, is bad for the eyes and
aggravatiDg. When one realizes, as
