A soldering fluid, which has proved very useful In certain railway shops, is made, says the Street Railway Journal, by killing two quarts of hydroohlorio acid with all the zine it will take up. Then to the acid a quart of water is added, or it may have to be added before the zinc will fully dissolve. A quart of glycerine, which has previously bean mix- ed with a quart of alcohol, is then added to the solution. This fluid is used for all kinds of soldering, and has been found especially desirable with greasy or dirty connections, as well as for soldering iron. It Is claimed that the glycerine prevents all rust, which playa havoc when many soldering fluids containing hydrochloric acid are used.

Botany and Anthropology. Dr. J. B. Cleland, in a paper read before the Linneau Society of New South Wales, undertakes to attack the question of the antiquity of the ances- tors of the vanishing aborigines of Ass- tralia in a new way. 1f it can be proved, he says, that the vegetation of Aus- tralia has been modified in the course of ages so as to have become more tol- erant of bush fires, and as it result of the frequency of such fires, and if such fires are clue mainly to the agency of unman, then there would be grounds for attributing considerable antiquity to fire - producing man on the Australian con- tinent.

A, Slocum, Limited, To- ronto, What Newspapers do For the Mali. Many people have been led to believe that the cent -a -pound mail rate accorded under the lair to publishers mailing their papers and magazines in bulk was the cause of actual loos to the government. In a recent diseuselon of the subject, a writer maintaining this thesis asserted that the publications enjoying these so- ealled second-class privileges paid only fonr per cent. of the postal revenues, Whether this estimate is correct or not it is of little importance; the fact which is important, and which biased and thoughtless critics ignore, is that the granting of the second-class privilege has brought millions of dollars of profitable first-olass business to the postal ser- vice. It is on record in the archives of the postal commission, which sat in New York in October, 1506, that a single ad- vertisement In a publication enjoying second-class rates was the cause of the wrting of more than 3,000 letters. This case might be multiplied by thousands, and 1t would be shown Ihat, far from being itself the cause of a deficit in the postal revenues, the second class privi- lege, by the profitable business it creates, goes far to make up for the losses occa- sioned by rural free delivery, the ridicu- lotto abuses of the franking privilege, and the failure to credit the Postoffice Department with the mail carried for all other government departments.—Leslie's Weekly.

Iltmmn science' owes Horny a debt, especially on the practical side, to the instinct of the lower animals. One of those obligations is cited by an eminant authority. Engineers frequently build darns straight across streams, the object being, in some casae, to salve expense by sparing material. But the beaver arches his dant against the current, and experi- ence Inas shown that this form of dam is best to resist floods and the impact of floating ice. Acting upon the knowl- edge which ie instinctive with the beav- er, and which human calculation ap- proves, the Great Bear Palley dam, in California, and some other dams in that State, have been constructed and so made tinat their stability depends upon the resietunce which their arched form presents.

This gives 111 a moot Instrmtive glimpse into one plane tologic process. To the planet's own in- ternal )teat is due the chief fostering of the beglnninge of life upon its surface. Thus a planet is capable of at least be- ginning to develop organisms without more than a modicum of help from the central sun. We talk of the sun as the source of life; and so it is to -day in the sense of being Its sustainer, but the real source was the earth itself, which also raised it through its babyhood.
