 Careful examination has been made of the heads of Canada thistledowns In order to determine their effective ness as parachutes carrying the seeds of the plant to great distances through the air. The results of this examina- tion are quite remarkable
 Calculation shows that a thistle down starting from an elevation of 20 feet in still air would require two thirds of a minute to reach the ground. With a wind blowing 20 miles an hour 1t would be carried on the average about fifth of a mile. The total surface exposed to the air in an average thistledown is, on account of the great number of hairlets, a little more than one-third of a square foot.
 Another well know and very beautiful example of natures para chutes Is furnished by the light silken threads with the aid of which the lit tie gossamer spider makes long aerial voyages-Scientific American.

There are places where the direc- ton of a plumb line is not vertical. Irregularities of density in the crust of the globe may produce this phe- nomenon. A remarkable instance in point was found in the island of Porto Rico, where the deviation from the vertical is so great that in mapping the island the northern and southern coast lines, as shown in the older maps, had each to be moved. inward half a mile.-Scientific American.

This Congregation Was Punished.


 The "Bluecoat Boys" of an older time had worse things to complain of then hard discipline and poor food. Since the day when "Christes hospital erected was, passing dede of pittie," they have had their grievances. And they were fated to hear probably the longest sermon ever preached from any pulpit. It was in 1871, and the preacher was Isaac Barrow. He sub sequently published the sermon, and It runs to 23O. pages. Its subject was The Duty and Reward of Bounty to the Poor" and Tillotson has said of 1t that 'it seems to have exhausted the whole argument and left no consider ation belonging to it u1touch'd." No one will be likely to quarrel with that statement But there would have been some excuse for a school boys strike in those days.-London Chronicle.
