The summer ieextremely cold. The geology of great interest sot only because of our utter lack of knowledge of the rocks and fossils, but also beeaase nowhere else is there suchan accumulation of ice, and observations of the immense glaciers creeping outward into the sea along the face of one of which Ross sailed for 300 miles, and from which broke flat~topped icebergs 1200 to 1500 feet thick—imay put to the test our glacial theory. The eminent scientists thought the Government should grant £150,000 for the proposed expedi. tion.

Moving pictures offer new possibiliti,s i. scientific instruction and entertainment. The cinematograph was successfully em- ployed in following the recent eolrr eclipse and M. Camille Flammarion has gone further by phographing the heavens form different times from sunset to sunrise, securing yiews bsfich the spectacle of the mighty paseage of moon and stars may be shown on a screen in a few minutes. He proposes to photograph sun-spots, exhibiting by their movement the rotation of the sun. The earth has not been for- gotten, and remarkable pictures of it in motion have be obtained by rotating before a cinematograph a large model, illuminated , by a lamp, giving the effect of the sun.

A most impressive plienonemun seema to have escaped general notice. It is the earth’s shadow in the sky, which, accord- to Prof. W. R. Brocks, of Geneva, N. Y . firat becomes visible about half av hour after sunset, asadark purplish haze on the eastern sky, and gradually rises until ) lost in the gloom of early nignt. The shadow, which ie doubtless usually mie- taken for clouds or haze, is seen equally well ou the western sky before sunrise.

A new manure, suitable for grains of all kinds, is being made by a frm of German color~makers already famouse as product rs of nitrogin und diphtheria anti-toxins. The new material is known as ‘‘alimit,” and is acreamy-white powder having 25 ptr cent of nitrogenous constituents and found to be composed of spores of an or- ganism belonging to the well-known group of hay bacilli. This particular bacillus is to be called Ellenbachensis alpha. It was discovered by Herr Caron, of Ellenbach, in the course of four years of investigation into the bacteria of different soile, and his exptriments have shown a remarkable effect upon crops from ground treated with pure cultures of this bacillus,

A RASH UNDERTAKING.

Earte Coates,

‘The buccaneers of Our Coast’’ are de- seribed by Frank R. Stockton in St. Nich- olas. In the story he tells of one of the adventures of two noted pirates who thought they would vary their plan by turning fz. the sea and making a land expedition. Mr. Stockton says:

The town which Roc and Tributor had determined to attack was Merida, in Yu- ecatan, and, although this was a bold and rash undertaking, the two pirates were beld and rash enough for anything. Roe had been a prisoner in Merida, and on ac- count of his knowledge of the town he be- lieved that he and hie followers could land upon the coast and then rush upon the un- suspecting garrison, and, having annihi- lated these, make themselves masters of

But their plans did not work very well.

They were discovered after they had landed by some Irfdians, who hurried to Merida and gave notice of the approach of the buccaneers. Consequently when Roo and his companions reached the town they found the garrison prepared for them, can- nons loaded and all the approaches guard- ed. Still the pirates did not hesitate. They advanced fiercely to the attack, just as they were accustomed to do when they were boarding a Spanish vessel, but they soon found that fighting on land was very dif- ferent from fighting at sea. Ina marine combat it is seldom that a party of board- ers is attacked in the rear by the enemy. But on land such methods of warfare should always be expected. Now, Roc and Tributor did not expect anything of the kind, and they were therefore greatly dismayed when a party of horsemen from the town, who had made a wide detour through the woods, suddenly charged upon } their rear. Between the guns of the gar- rison and the sabers of the horsemen the buccaneers had a very hard time, and it was not long before they were completely defeated. Tributor and a great many of the pirates were killed or taken, and Roc the Brazilian had a terrible fall.

This most memorable fall oecurred in the estimation of John Esquemeling, who knew all about the attack cn Merida and who wrote the account of it. But he had never expected to be callcd upon to record that his great hero, Roc the Brazilian, saved his life after the utter defeat of him- self and his companions by ignominiously running away. ‘The loyal chronicler had a firm belief ‘in the absolute inability of his hero to fly from danger, and Esque- meling could scarcely believe that Roc had retreated from his enemies, deserted his friends and turned his back upon the principles which he had alwavs proclaimed.
