How Atmosphere Affects Stars.

Atmospheric changes have very
marked effect upon the twinkling Of
the stars. For example. 1t Is found to
Increase as the temperature falls and
as the barometer rises. An experience
of nearly forty years, says writer
In Conquest, showed NJ. Montigny that
with the quantity Of moisture In the
air the twinkling of the stars increased
so markedly as to serve for a useful
prognostic of rain. Cyclonlc conditions
generally are found to promote it,
whilst 1t Is extremely sensitive to mag
netlc disturbances. Humboldt on one
occasion in the tropics found that the
stars shone with mild and planetary
light; their scintillation was scarcely
sensible at the horizon. This, it is
apparent, was due to the great homo
geneity Of the atmosphere. whereby
the extremely fine pencil of light from
the stars was not interfered with by
unequally dense strata.

ALL IN SCHEME OF NATURE
Why Human Beings and Lower AMI
mails Have Lobes Ia Explained
by Scientists.

What we commonly call the ear
that Is, the external parts little
more than telephone receiver" as II
were, to the inner or true ear with
which all hearing Is done. OF this
receiver" the lobes form an essential
and necessary part In Natures won
derful way they are made to serve
a very important purpose in keep
ing the drum of the ear properly
stretched. Many waves Of sound
would be lost to the real ear were 1t
not for the lobe.
The lobes of hunted animals, such
as the hare or stag, point backward
and of hunting animals, such as the
dog, forward. Originally, 1t is be-
lieved, our human lobes were movable
but, as with the advance Of civiliza-
ton, man had to depend less and less
upon his sense of hearing for protec-
tion against danger, the muscles con.
nected with our lobes fell into disuse
and resulted in the lobes becoming
practically fixed part Of our hearing
machine.

Discharge of Oil Waste Into
Water Should Be Stopped

The ever-increasing> practice of dis
charging oil and tar wastes into
streams and harbors, and its effect on
FISH and fish industries, is strikingly
set forth in a pamphlet issued by the
bureau Of fisheries The fatal contain
lnation that results from poisonous
substances rejected by gas plants and
petroleum distillerles, or dumped from
tankers and oil-burning ships, must
result in huge losses of food prod
ucts and money. First 1t should be
distinctly understood that the presence
of minute quantity of poison Is suffi-
cient to kill. For example, the Amer
can sunfsh, though highly resistant to
poisons, will die In about an hour In
water four to five parts per million
Of phenanthene or naphthalene, or five
parts per million Of hydrogen sulphide.
or seven parts per million of ammonia
and, of course, very much weaker solu-
lions will kill If the fish are exposed
to them for several days.
Aside from this direct toxic effect,
such pollution repels the fish from APP
preaching shore at the only time when
they might be caught; sickens or kills
bottom-dwelling species such as oys-
ters; kills, by suffocation, floating eggs
and delicate larvae; destroys minute
plants and animals on which the lar
vac and adult fish subsist; affects
aquatic life by diminishing the aera-
ton Of the water, and destroys spawn
Ing grounds. Even petroleum products
that contain no poisonous substance
soluble in water may, by agitation
form deadly emulsion that will kill
In FIVE minutes. Tarred roads also send
their poisonous washings into the
smaller streams. Remedial measures
may be found in the commercial re-
covery Of oils from drainage water, In
the prevention Of gashouse and REIN
cry pollution with an increased use
of wastes, and in regulations forbid
ding the dumping Of oil from ships in
harbors or near spawning grounds and
feeding areas.-Scientific American.

said DR. Snyder, who stated that
mothers are misled into believing that
what is good for one baby is good for
all. THE best way for dealing with
that situation is that the mother
should be convinced that her baby is
an individual, not an example of an
uncertain average. and should have
individual care" he declared

fnation of our young manhood reveal
the same shocking state Of physical

trist is trying to prevent these de-

comparatively few children are seen
by men who are specializing in the
treatment and prevention of the dis

would be one Of education-educa-

education of the laity. SO that 1t will
see the importance Of frequent con-
sultations with physicians. 1t Is my
belief that the most important meas

infancy. 1t is in these years that the
foundation of health Is laid, and with
out a good foundation 1t is extreme
