SCIENCE AT LONG RANGE.

Aid has been asked of the French Academy of Sciences for a novel ex- pertinent. In the department of Lot there has been found a subterranean river which seems tO find it's only exit in a number of springs in the surrounding country. It has been proposed that the river be utilized for the reproduction of aquatic ani- mals during many generations out of the reach of sunlight. The animals would be taken originally from sur face streams. and study would be made of the progressive effects of the deprivation of light.
 Recognizing the fact that one hu- man life, or several in succession. would not cover a sufficient span of time to afford definite results. the scientist who has put forward this novel suggestion wishes to organize a society for this investigation which shall be perpetual, the work of ob- servation to pass from generation to generation until. in some future time. It has been cOmpleted-Harper' Weekly.
