The Moon-Weather Problem.
From tables made by the use of synoptic charts, eliminating local disturbances, Dr. G. Meyer believes he has
accomplished what other investigators
have sought to do without success—
shown an influence of the moon on the
weather. The height of the barometer,
in months of September to January, is
lowered at the time of full moon and
raised during tbe first quarter. No
' effect can be traced for other months.
Artificial Skull-Shaping.
Astonishing success has attended tbe
efforts of Dr. Launelqflgu.tj, at} eminent
specic^igt Qf Bar-is,, to, give intelligence
|6, -a, }ittle idiot gi.vt. Though four
y-eai'8, old, the child could neither- walk
nor stand, and never smiled nqv took

the hraiu, and in May last he made an
incisioii in the centre of the skull and
out a piece of bone from the left side.
The result was marvelous. Within less
than a month the child could walk, and
she has become quite bright—playing,
smiling, and taking notice of gw*'y*
thing around her.

Electrically-Aimed Guns.
In a new invention, a small dry battery, an electro-magnet and a circuit
closer of mercury are so arranged in
the stock of a gun that the weapon can
be disohavged only when elevated to a
predetermined angle. At other positions the trigger is locked and cannot
be pulled. The device is claimed to
ensure precision in range, and accuracy
of firing at night when the range has
been previously obtained.

Pfp.f. 3. L,. Jenson. The disease is
foujiA to. co,ngist of a fungus, whose

which fipst attacks the foliage of, the

about seven days by spores washed
down from the stem and foliage. Coo-
sidering these facts, it was thought that
