Prof. Vaughan reports a successful at¬
lar tempt to produce iu a cat a disease simi¬
to typhoid fever, by the use of the
germs found in the water used by the
300 victims of the scourge at Iron
Mountain, Mich.
Sometimes the pressure of an artesian
flow of water results from a gas pressure
instead of from a high head of water.
Dakota, for instance, has several artesian
■wells 1,000 feet deep, with 350 to 380
pounds pressure, but there are no high
places near by to give this head of water.
The advisability of testing as foggy
weather signals sudden flashes, such as
those of gunpowder, has been suggested
to the British lighthouse authorities by
Lord Kayleigh and Professor Stokes,
who think the flashes might attract atten¬
tion where an equal fixed light might
escape notice.
We have heretofore been led to believe
that ice purified itself. Now we are told
that in good marketable ice, taken from
where the water is polluted with the
sewage of cit’es, there exists an almost
indefinite number of living disease
germs, and they appear to thrive under
the condition of being frozen for an in¬
definite period.
Some people doubt the poisonous
effect of nutmeg, but several cases ol
nutmeg-poisoning British- Medical -Journal have been during noted in the
the past
summer. A whole nutmeg was taken in
four of the cases, and five whole ones in
the remaining case. '□ still another case,
the use of half « nutmeg in a hot drink
was nearly fatal.
Dr. John Murray, of Edinburgh, in a
paper on the height and volume of. the
dry land and depth and volume of the
ocean, makes the statement that “should
the whole of the solid laud i:e reduced to
one level under the ocean, then the sur¬
face of the earth would be covered by an
ocean with a uniform depth of about two
miles.” From Dr. Murray’s investiga¬
tions it also appears that if the dry land
of the globe were reduced to the sea
level by being removed to and piled up
id the shallower waters of the ocean, then
its extent would be about 80,000,000
square miles, and the rest of the surface
of the earth would be covered by an
ocean miles. extending to 113,000,000 square
The course which an earthquake runs
is usually very rapid. From the moment

to nearly the period when all was killed, over, and
30,000 people were not
more than four minutes elapsed. A few
seconds, we learn from “Our Earth and
Its Story,” are usually a more frequent
lime for the shocks to last. Vet, while
Caracas in Venezuela was almost de¬
stroyed and 13,000 of its inhabitants
killed by tho earthquake of 1813, within
the limits of half a minute, there are
cases in which constantly recurring
shocks last for weeks, months, and even
years, as if the laboring earth was still
trying to relieve itself of some of its
superabundant energy.
The climate of the Sandwich Islands
is peculiarly adapted to the cultivation
of rice of a peculiar quality and in great
quantity, its evenness of temperature
permitting without the raising of two crops a
year any particular strain upon
the soil. The crops are raised in fields
called patches, most of which were
formerly used by the natives for raising
taro, and which are often not more than
an acre in extent. The fields are
situated in the lowlands, where abundant
irrigation can be obtained, and some¬
times on slight elevations where artesian
