SCIENCE NOTES.

Air currents at a height of fifty miles above the earth are discussed by J. Edmund Clark in the Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological society, on the basis of observations made at many places in southern Eng land and northern France of the drift of a particularly bright and persistent meteor train seen on the night of Feb. 22, 1909. MT. Clark himself saw the train for 104 minutes. The most re- markable conclusions drawn by the writer relate to the velocity of the upper winds at various levels, as in dicated by the movements of the train. Between the attitudes of 49 1-2 and 51 miles the streak lay in a west wind of over ITO miles an hour, while at 51 1-2 miles the current was almost from tho east, with a velocity approaching 200 miles an hour. These conclusions hardly agree with the prevailing con- captions of the stratosphere as a region of gentle winds
 Constantinoples scheme for metro- politan electric line is well under way. It includes the formation of what is known as the Ottoman Metropolitan company, capitalized at $5,000,0o0 for the purpose of building and operating the line. Work is to be finished as far as Pan caldi in four and half years from Oct. 1. 1912, according to the terms of the contract, and the rest will follow within a ten year period. A new bridge over the Golden Horn will be part of the work.
 Army engineers have reported that the deepening and widening of Am prose channel leading into New York harbor is finished, except for a few minor details, and no further appro- priations for construction will be needed. This great artificial channel is seven miles long, 1000 feet wide and forty feet deep at mean low tide. At night it is so brilliantly lighted by buoys that the largest ocean steamers can enter with perfect safety. Tho | work was begun in 1901.

A STORY OF THE DROUGHT

How love and religion collided dur ing this summers drought in Japan is told in a Tokyo publication, the Far East: Tn Hooki province there Is a large pond which is regarded as one of the most famous places in Japan at which to pray for rain. The supplicants are obliged to arm them selves with salli casks which they must bring from their homes and the casks must be offered to Daisenji, the temple near the pond. Of course the priests do not object at all to this GUS tom, but rather welcome the drought, since they always take half of the sak< and pour the remainder into the pond as libation to the rain god. Then the villagers refill their casks with water from the pond and return home. But they must be particularly care full that they do not rest by the way side; for to allow the cask to touch since the rain would fall in that spot alone When they return to their villages they share the contents of the casks with their neighbors, who pour the water from the pond over their rice fields.
 But after one of these pilgrimages recently the rain gods withheld the gentle dew from heaven and the Vil- lagers searching for a reason vented their resentment against a young man and woman who had formed part of the party. They were lovers and the gods were supposed to be outraged by their presence. so they were banished from the village for time. The girl, however, never forgot the insult and planned a revenge.
 She emptied the saki from the casks and filled them with water. The villagers repaired as was their GUS tom to pray for rain. This time the priests were minus their usual cause for rejoicing. and, strange to cay, the rain god was generous and soon after ward granted rain to a grateful earth"

As an encouragement to further prospecting and mining in the new gold field near the boundary line be- tween Alaska and Yukon Territory the American customs officials have de- ctded not to establish a custom house there for one year, believing that the miners have already undergone hard ships enough in getting their outfits there without having to pay duties.
