The convolu tions may be mapped, and an account is soon to be given of tbe brain struc ture of Egyptians of different periods. A file specially designed for work ins on gun metal Is being used in French machine shops. It has shallow j dlagoual channels, at Intervals of half an Inch, the teeth being on the raised portions between the channels. It is claimed that these ulos. clogging much less rapidly than others, increase the work done by about fifty per cent. , No white pigments have been found in feathers, and the whiteness of white feathers is ascribed to total reflection of light from their exposed surfaces. Some have supposed the reflection to be from air spaces, or bubbles, in the feather structue, but It. M. Strong, of Ilaverford College, says that the white effect Is powdered glass, upon the small size of tbe structural elements. These have a large number of surfaces so placed for any puhliluu of the eye that there Is a maximum reflection to the eye, and almost no absorption by the unplgmented feather substance. To get the eggs of a new species of mosquito Inhabiting a South Carolina swamp, Dr. W. C. Coker, of the Uni versity of North Carolina, had to bor row the aid of a horse. The horse was driven Into the low ground haunted by the mosquitoes, and when he came out the insects were found drilling through his skin. They were carefully re moved, put In a tin bucket, fed daily with blood from tbe band, and after about five days, to tbe doctor's great delight, they laid their eggs in the water. It was to procure and study these eggs that he bad taken all bis trouble. In such homely ways science sometimes makes its advances. Astonishing effects as a tonic and blood-former are claimed by Dr. Nau gler, of Paris, for balloon ascensions, lie states that an air trip of two hours gives a marked increase In the red corpuscles of the blood, this Increase continuing to be noticeable for at least ten days afterward, and that five as censions within six or seven weeks impart more benefit to an anaemic per son than three months in the moun tains. The good results begin almost Immediately, prol6nged stay In the upper air being of no advantage and possibly harmful. He urges that the city should give poor people the bene fits of a change of climate by provid ing a large balloon capable of taking fifty patients daily on an aerial out ing. A remarkable example of tbe power of mimicry possessed by some persons, but altogether lacking in others, was furnished by the late Professor Roberts-Austen, of England. Ills friend. Prof. T. E. Thorpe, recalls many interesting Instances of Roberts Austen's singular gift, which was pur posely exercised only occasionally for tbe entertainment of his scientific con freres at a club meeting. But wbat lends special interest to the case wa9 the fact that Roberts-Austen frequent ly exercised his power without being aware of It. "I have heard him, to my terror." says Professor Thorpe, "in the course of a conversation gradually copy tbe tones and Inflections of a man's voice, and have seen blm re produce his manner to his very face." In such cases there was no conscious ness of what was being done In the mind of the mimic, or on the part of the person Imitated, and Professor Thorpe believes the origin of tbe un intended mimicry was sympathy alone. Cold Water Absorbs Poison. In connection with tbe subject of water there Is one peculiar property of that liquid with which everyone should be made acquainted, and that is its capacity for absorbing impurities, which Increases proportionately the colder It -gets. Hence water that has stood In an Insufficiently ventilated sleeping chamber all night Is not only unpleasant, but positively Injurious to drink, since It readily absorbs tbe poi sonous gases given off by respiration and action of tbe skin. An ordinary pitcher of water, under such conditions, at a temperature of sixty degrees will be found to have absorbed during the nlgbt from a pint to a pint and a half of carbonic acid gas, and an Increase of ammonia. Ice water Is an objection able drink at all times, but If It Is In dulged In, the vessel containing It should never be left uncovered In sleep ing or sitting rooms, because at freez ing point Its capacity for absorbing these deleterious substances Is nearly doubled. If a fool possesses tact and assur ance be will distance the wise guy who possesses neither. Some men's Idea of a brilliant leader la a partner who leads trumps opportunely.
