Of all insects presents the same general
character. When fight is begun the
amplitude of the first wing Leafs IL
much smaller than Of the subsequent
ones, but the period remains almost I'M

of the motion of it's wings, but by
changing their inclination. Although
in normal conditions the period of the
wing beat remains constant, 1t may be
increased or diminished By various In

MAGNETIC Metals.

Magnetic properties are not confined
to iron. Alloys made from various
combinations Of metals-copper, man
ganese, tin, aluminium, bismuth and
some others-show more or less mark
ed magnetism. Recent work has shown
that the highest amount Of magnetic
power among ironless alloys is obtain
ed By mixtures of copper and manga
nese plus either aluminium or tin. 1t
is difficult to explain why such alloys
should be magnetic.

Reports made by Russian soldiers

A small portion of bread, some thin

of horses shot in action comprise their
rations. The prisoners have been or
