At the Geological Society's meeting in London last April Prof. II. G. Seeley ex hibited the upper bone of the leg, or paddle, of a plesiosaurus which had been almost completely turned Into opal, the mineral having replaced the ubsiaiu-e of the bono.

The plesiosaurus was a long necked Inhabitant of the sea in the "o of the Great Iteptlles. or-Jurassic Time, and sometimes attained u length ; of thirty feet. It Is said that lightning may be recog nized at a distance of two hundred miles when the clouds among which it plays are at a high altitude, but that thunder can seldom be heard at a great or distance than ten miles. The sound of thunder Is also subject to refraction by layers of different density in the at musnhere, as well as to the effects of "sound shadows," produced by hills i and other Interposed objects. These are among the reasons for the existence of ihe so-called "sheet," or "summer," lightning, which seems to be unattend ed by thunder. Dr. J. II. Gladstone, discussing at the Koyal Institution the question of the metals used by the great nations of an tiquity, said recently that gold was probably the first metal known to man, because it Is generally found native.
