An artificial musk factory has been ctahii-heti upon the Rhone, in the canton of (Jeneva. Since its opening, iivlit ri:in have noticed that the fish op'-'-ially the trout taken within a couple of miles down river have a very pronounced flavor of musk, the heads in particular being uneatable. As it is known that the essential oils of an in' and lavender attract fishes, foxes, martens, etc., it is believed that the fi.-hes inay be similarly led by the oilier to .-eek and eat the musk refuse. An "electric restaurant,"" serving its customers automatically with dinner, etc., is a special attraction of the Am sterdam exhibition. Two Munich experimenters claim to have met with considerable success in treating cancer by means of a new an titoxin. In a hit .'j address at Manchester, Prof. Boyd Dawkins considered the indications of sanitary progress in prehistoric days. The very earliest man of the pliocene age was only dis tinguished from the wild animals by being' clever enough to fashion imple ments and use fire, and it could not be said that he was either sanitary or in sanitary. His successor, palaeolithic man, was the user of the polished ione axe, the introducer of the do mestic animals, aud the dweller - in a lived habitation, for which 'he invaria bly chose a dry place. In the neoli thic man we have the first evidences of living in a-community, but the re fuse was left in his habitation and he was ignorant of water supply. He al ways selected, however, spots where there was natural drainage, and he was the first tiller of the ground. The most important development of sani tary appliances are found at the close of the bronze and in the iron age. There was a most elaborate system of refuse heaps, but there was no evi dence of any artificial water-supply. Neither in the neolithic, the bronze, nor the prehistoric iron age were there any interments within the area t habitation. Evidence that crema tion was the rule in the bronze age is tound in the limestone -ranges of Der byshire and the chalk downs of Wilt shire. Weighing the baby, if done under tandingly, is not merely the gratifica tion of idle curiositv. as it is usually regarded, but a careful record of the ight is a scientific tet of the 111- ant s health, ami may give the ear liest warning of serious digestive troub le-.

Martel to the study of caves, tii l a spelaeological society has been rganied in Paris for promoting this -tndy. M. Martel has explored sev eral hundred caves, finding them to be 1 -tural depositories or museums capa ble of throwing light on many sub jects.

In the present year on Mars, where the year equals two of owr 1 - - . . v -rl tw u, lUt I ..1 i injuircap disappeared some months earlier than usual, indicating, in the ordinary view, a. phenomenally hot season. What we know of the atmos phere of Mars is thus summed up by Mr. Percival Lowell: 'We have proof positive that Mars has an atmos phere; we have reason to believe that this atmosphere is very thin, tinn er at least by half the air upon the sum mit of the Himalayas, that in consti tution it does not differ greatly from I our own, and that it is relatively heav- uy cnarged with water vapor." But Prof. E. S. Holden gives a different conclusion as "the latest news from Mars." In his recent spectroscopic observations at the Lick Observatory, Prof. Campbell has compared the spectrum of Mars with that of the Moon, finding no perceptible differ ence, and no more evidence of aque ous vapor or of an atmosphere in the one case than in the other. "And it is in the highest degree unlikely that Mars has an atmosphere anything like as dense as the earth's atmosphere at the summit of the Himalayas. The lakes, oceans, canals (of water,) the snowstorms, inundations, inhabitants (like ourselves) and the signals they were making us, etc., have all vanish ed with the aqueous vapor. We have heard so persistently of these beings for so long, that people in general were beginning to 'accept them as proved." The prehistoric mine of Aramo, near Pola de Lena, in the Asturias, em braces an unexplored portion which M. Martin asserts will constitute a copper and cobalt mine unique in the whole world. The mine remains the same as it was in the Bronze Age, oO centuries ago, having been surprised either by a cataclysm or by a hostile invasion. The entries consist of small vertical shafts about 18 feet deep, which were probably guarded by sol diers to ire vent the escape of the s'ave miners. The systems of so-called electrical purification of water are divided by the London Electrical Review into two classes, namely: (1) Those which eleetrolyze water, liberating oxygen at the positive pole; arid (2) those which electrolvze solutions of common alt, producing certain germicidal sub stances such as hypochlorites. In both cases the electric energy purifies the water indirectly by producing chemical disinfectants. How's This.
