At tho recent meet iug licld in Cambridge,

Prehistoric Skating.
Ah is well known, tho art of skating is u
prehistoric one. In many parts of Kuropo
bones of domesticated animals have liccn
found which had liccn used as skates oral
runners of small sledges. It Is of consider
able interest to learn that similar Implements
are found still in use in several parts of
northern (lermauy. In Tho Journal of tho
Berlin IJthnological Society sledges nro do
BcrilKsl which consist of a board resting on
tho lwnesof 11 horse., But, Ix'sldcs this, skates
nro used tho runners of which consist of tho
lower jaw of cattle, tlio curvature of tho

Tho liellef very generally exists that (ho
culluroof forests induces an increase of rain
fall ami that their destruction diminishes it.
Mr. Henry Gannett, in Science, claims that
11 satisfactory explanation of this "siiposod
phenomenon'' has never liccn oU'ensl. Ho
goes further, mid assumes that results gained
in our own country go to bhow "that tho in
fluence of forests upon rainfall, from uu
economic point of view, is too slight to bo of
tho least practical importance."
Witter Conor from Artesian Wells.
Many artesian wells spout water under a
heavy pressure, just as many gas wells find
tho gas tinder a pres-suro of several hundred
iKHiuds to the sipiuro Inch. This water power
is used in many places in Franco by means of
turbine wlnsds, ami it is probable that oven
tho gas pressure might in some cases also bo
utilized. In cry deep artesian wells tho
heat of tho water is also utilized.

a b.ittlo Hag was adopted 11 red II. ig, with
thirteen white stars displayed in blue stripes
crosiing the red Held diagonally, tho wholo

".Stain and liars" was supplanted by 11 Hug

Tlio dlo of tho goddess of lllierty on Amer

(Jen. Washington was not pleased with tho
head of his wife as a medium of circulation,
mid at his rispicit tho dlo was changed, only
u few coins having lss-n cast from tho orig

made from tho former ono by placing a cap
on tho bond and altering thu prominent

Except when In a stupor from exhaustion,
