Lotteries In England.

Lotteries for the purpose of raising money for the state have never caught on in England, But for definite ends of semistate character, such as build ing canals or founding a British muse um, sanction has been readily granted. Our first recorded lottery is that of 1899, when the prizes were pieces of plate, the chances 4O,O001 for 10 shiI- lings each and the desirable object the maintenance of harbors. But, once familiar grown, lotteries corrupted the ancient virtues of John Bull and by the time of Queen Anne the state step ped in and suppressed every private lottery as a public nuisance. By an act passed in 1923 sanction was given to a particular lottery, and that was the last. At the same time all sale of tickets for home or foreign lotteries was forbidden.-London Times.

SCIENCE NOTES.

Astronomer Evershed, at Svfneear
kashmir, has photographed an eruptive
prominence of exceptional altitude on
the disk of the sun. The photoeranbs
were obtained at intervals from near
the beginning OF the outburst until the
nnal fragments had risen to a height
OF little moro than a semi-diameter
from the suns limb. The velocity AWAY
from the sun was 100 kilometers ner
second and faint extensions could he
traced at eighteen minutes from the
limb, representing a height of close
upon half million miles. Astronomers
say this would appear to be the high
