A scientist who I eceiitly Investigat-
ed the causes of secular rnilathms In
teiuueiatuwi at the e tilth's iufacu
thinks that they are more piobably
due to chaugu lu the amount of cat-
houlo ucfd In the ntuiosphoro than to
vailutlous in tho heat of the miii. If
the amount of caibonlc acid that tho
alt now contains was diminished a
lit tie more than half tho mean tern-
peiuliuo all oer the earth would It U
stated diop about eight degtees
which would be uutUcIent to bring on
another glacial peilod. On the other
hand an Increase of caibonlc acid be-
tween two and tinea times Its present
uiuouut would raise tho mean temper-
ature fifteen degrees and renew tho
hot tlmei of the eocemi epoch. Boston

SULPHUR SHOWERS.

It happens that after a shower Ihe
edge of ovoi) pool of water In the

As the water evapoiales this ring ie-
mains as a flue powdmy mass so much

This ho called sulphur Is of comse uot
sulphur al all. When examined under
the microscope It Is found to be made
nit of a mass of the )ellowlh pollen
grains of plue trees.
Instead of consisting of a slugle cell
na do most pollen gialits that of he
plue consists of thtee cells Ihe two
larger etui ones being tilled with air
and the otlar containing the outturn-)
fertilizing pilmlple. The two air con

In pities and allied trees rertlll7.itlnii
of the cones by which they are en-
abled to set and develop seeds Is ac-
complished by the wind-that Is the
pollen Is produced lu Immense ipianll-
lies uud Is transported thiough the air
to the cones which are often on sop

often happens that the pollen gets up

How Whsat Perspires.
When )ou ure perspiring furiously In
the dog dii)s it may or may uot eon-
sole )ou to think that an ordinary tlehl
of xv heat Is giving off uiolstuie quite
as furiously. Helweeu the mouths of
Aptll uud July accoidlng to .sir
James Dewar a field of xvhent per-
spires sulllclent moisture to cover the
sut face of Its ground to a depth of nine
Inches. Another Interesting fact Is that
It leipilios three and a half pounds
of water to produce sixteen grains of
w heal. Speaking of the toUr radiation
in tioplcttl places Sir James ttyt that
lu six bouts about four-tenths of a
Hipiaro mile receives heat equivalent to
the combustion of 1000 ton of coal
while an urea of 1.300 iquate miles
receives lu one )ear heat equivalent to
1000000.000 tons of coal-the whole
estimated co.tl output of Europe ami
