A New Fever Hovse - Trepical coun tries have been advised to establish cold greenhouses as hospitals. This idea has resulted from the remarkable success of Cuban physician, who has been treating yellow fever by keeping the: patients in artifically cooled rooms. It is proposed that each town in districts liable to epidem ics of this disease shail build a great gla: house for the fever victims. These houses would be artifically cocled and plants of cold and temperate regions would be grown in them
LigHTNING FROM ACLEAR Sxy. —An Eng- lish eleotrician, Mr. A. McAdie, has re- peated Franklin’s kite experiment when no elouds were visible. Sparks were drawn from an insulated wire leading from. th- kite to the ground, and an electrometer was strongly affected. The quantity of electricity so nearly corresponded to the height of the kite that the experimenter could usually determine by the electrome- ter whether the kite was rising or falling.
A new life-belt has been patented in Germany. It is in the ordinary form but is made from reindeer hair evvered with canyas, and is much lighter than the beit of cork. Its weight is only two pounds, while it will support 22 pounds of iron in the water. Its buoyancy is not affected by prolonged immersion.

Tue Arr Asove Us.—Since 1882 recogniz- able photogr«phs of the earth’s surface have been taken from b:loons, and four -of these, from heights of 500 to 6000 feet, are used by the editor of London Knowledge to illustrate an article on ‘‘The Upper Atmosphere” in his November issue. A great difficulty en countered in o/taining these pictures is the fact that the light must pass twice through the densest and must dust-laden part of the atmosphere. The bright refl:ction, more- over, from the sun-illuminated side of the dust moves adds to the haziness which ob- scures objects on the earth’s surface, and \ must m-ke it impossibie for distant observers on Mars or the Moon to see as. much of what is go‘ng on among us as we are ap’ to imagine. Another interesting circumstance noted in these photographic experiments is that, contrary to general belief, the wind is stronger pear the surface than at heights of 1500 to 2000 feet, although at considerably greater elevations the velocity increases and occasionally exceeds 140 miles an hour. In an earlier balloon ascent man has explored the atmosphere to a height of a. litve more than seven miles, where the
