n POPULAR SCIENCE. J BKK STINGS FOR RHKI'JJ ATISM. 1.)r. P. II. Mabcrly relates an experience •WJT!I a number of severe cases of rheumatism winch refused to respond to any of the usual methods of treatment and in which bee stings gave relief. In elderly people he starts with about six stings for the first three applica- tions, and then increases *he number gradu- ally up to a couple of dozen. 'The siings should remain in for a few minutes before removing them. He concludes from his ex- perience that this remedy, if ifc does not effect a complete cure, gives relief in almost hope- less cases. FOR FARMERS. Feeding from a common nosebag* a horse must toss bis head to get all the grain. This causes considerable waste, as some of the grain is thrown out. A new invention is in- tended to adjust the bag to the nose of the house as the grain is eaten away. It consists of hras tubes, one of which telescopes in thb other. An ocen coil spring is placed in such I ADJUSTABLE NOSKBAG. i way as to draw the tubes together. One of these devices is placed in the strap of the nosebag on each side of the horse's head. In the sketch is shown the horse starting to eat from his portion of feed, and also how he completes his meal without having to toss his head. The tension of the springs is ad- justed so as to keep the level of the gram: against the horse's mouth at all times. MAKING WATCH BALANCE WHKELS. As the balance wheels of watches, if made of one metal, would expand and contract with changes of temperature, and thus run slower or faster according to the degrees of heat, they must be made of different kinds of metals, having different degrees of expansion with the same increase of temperature. In this manner the effect of changes of tempera- ture on the running of a watch is almost entirely eliminated. To determine the ex- pansibility of the metals employed an instru- ment, called a dilatometer is used, in which a system of delicate levers or a chain of gear wheels magnifies the motion of a pointer over a scale hundreds of times. The change in the length of a, piece of steel caused by a single degree of rise or fall of temperature is clearly measured by it. 2 LIGHT FOR THE DnOWNINtL Our sketch of the very latest device for life-saving at 'sea shows an interesting de- velopment. When sailors and ocean pat sen- gers are thrown into the sea, no matter how strongly they may be able to swim, the dark- noss is always a tremendous drawback. The new lifebuoy, however, will remove this terror, for immediately it touches the water the lamp with which it is fitted is automatic- ally lighted, and sheds a cheering ray for a r THE NEW LIFEBUOY. considerable distance. It guides as well as cheers, for others in danger can see where support is to be had, and the buoy will keep some nine or ten people afloat. Another great advantage is that passing vessels are more likely to observe that help is wanted, and it is the firm opinion of our seamen that this now self-lighting lifebuoy wili be the means of saving many lives from drowning. FEVER MICROBES. A medical lecture on the microbe of re- current fever was recently given by the aid of some of the newest cinematograph films. First of all, a view was given of a scientist's laboratory, with two doctors busily engaged in examining bacilli through a micro-scope, Suddenly, from a corner of the room,'a lively chimpanzee bounds upon one of the tables, but the doctors seize him, with the object of using him as a fearful example. They inocu- late him with the microbe of recurrent fever. Then a switch of the cinematograph shows a magnified drop of his blood, with the fever microbes chasing each other through it. The next moment shows the pathological effect of the inoculation upon the monkey himself. The p<wr animal that before was so lively now begins to pine. He can eat nothing, and thirsts for cooling drinkfi. The fever takes its usual course, now raging in all its fury, and now leaving ths patient in his normal state again. At this point the doctor comes along oncc more and applies to the inocu- j lated one the proper course of treatment. Soon the effects begin to show themselves. The microbes no longer run revel through the magnified drop of blood, but lie down like slain soldiers on a battlefield. The ] monkey revives, and begins to play his 1 pranks again.

More and more as I have studied the Colonial question have I come to the con- elusion that this question of closer communi- cation is at the coot of the matter a* regards the closer union of the Empire. I think, therefore, that every ship that carries a pas- senger or carries a ton of goods, whether she liiea the blue ensign or the red ensign, is doing work for the Empire, probably leas stately and dignified than if she was flying the white ensign, but a really Imperial work.-— or Casws. • « t ANGLO-SAXONS.

A STORY OF CHILDHOOD. There is always room for good stories of child life, and at this time of year a warm welcome wili certainly be accorded to "Little Jenny Jarrold (Melrose. 5s.), whose story is told by S. G. Arnold. Little Jenny was one -of nine, and a charming child. The author writes with uncommon knowledge of, and «vm- pathv with, childhood. and has given us a tale which will charm children of all ages up to eighty or thereabouts.
THAT'S LOGIC!
THAT'S LOGIC! In a time of political turmoil sueii as we are at present passing through, rhetoric is con- siderably more to the fore thau logic, and those who attend party meetings it is to be feared, more heated eloquence than accurate reasoning. The moment 1, therefore opportune for the appearance of a book like "Logic for the Million" (Werner Laurie, 6s. net.). This is a newly-edited edition of Mr. J. W. Cili)al.t"o j very valuable book, revised and brought up to date by Mr. T. Sharper Knowlson, author of j "The Art of Thinking." Logic is considered by most people (and certainly most, text-books do i their best to justify the opinion) a supremely I. dry and unattractive science, but Mr. Sharper Knowlson has made it interesting and given it life. He goes thoroughly into the science of reasoning, from examples, from analogy, front statistics, by syllogism—and illustrates prin- ciples by effective and interesting examples from well-known writers and from the politi- cal and social discussions of the period. He has aimed to bring the science of reasoning out of the atmosphere of the class room into the arena of daily life, and lie has succeeded uncommonly well. It would not be a bad idea if "the quiet voter," about whom we hear a i good deal at thif time, were to get this book, and study it with a view to detecting the fallacies in the arguments which are going on all around him. i
I ---_-_-----AEROPLANES AND…
I AEROPLANES AND WAR. j In the "Review of Reviews," Mr. Stead sag- gests that one effect of the aeroplane will be to abolish war altogether. The most promising field of aerial warfare (he pointe out) is the simple dropping of bullets from above. There is no need for the high, flier to fire at the troops nmseed below. 1-fe, only needs to drop bullets overboard, and if be is 1.000 yards aloft each bullet will have velocity of 400 feet per s-econd when it strikes the earth. Even now every good aeroplane can 9 carry 4,000 rifle bullets. If the fifty aeroplanes; in the French Army were to be employed to sow bullets over an enemy's camp they could, in the course of half a dozen trips, drop over a million bullets on the most vulnerable parts of their opponents. They would signal out for attack the headquarters, the reserves, the camps, and all places but the-firing line where the troops are scattered. It will be of no avail, firing at them, for the bullets fired up into the j air will come down again on those who fired them in quite as deadly a shower a« those dig- charged by the enemy. As a means of destruc- tion, the" aeroplane promises to achieve the deadliest results. And as no one can use the r aeroplane as a means of conquest, but only as i a means of destruction, I am more and more convinced that it will be the most efficient i means by which the old system of war on Rea i and land will be broken up. Civilisation will ere long come to see that the aeroplane will make an end of armies altogether.
FIGHTING ADMIRALS.
FIGHTING ADMIRALS. Old boys and young boys and plenty of girls too* i will be delighted with Mr. John Harnett1* Fight- I ing Admirals (Smith Eider) which tells the story of splendid sea lights, in the daya when nobod;, in this island of ours was ever troubled by naval scares. Mr. Barnett writes vividly and pictur- esquely, and he knows how to nmVe his readers thrill with admiration of his sea heroes. Wliqt a list it is Edward Plant,agenet—" the King of the 8ea"~Raleigh, Hawkins, Biake Prince itupert, Myngs, Sho vel, Ben bow, (these three ri-en from the ranks) Rodney, Codrington, and tit,. rest. Mr. Barnett does not write biof^nbif, or nwal histories; his method is to describe in glowing 1 language a crowded hour of glorious life in the career of each of his heroes. A very excellent method it is, and has given us a fine book of a character which makes an irresistible appeal to all Britons.

THE CHRISTMAS NUMBERS.
THE CHRISTMAS NUMBERS. With the very attractive Christmas number of "Black and White" are presented two plates-Frank Dicksee's famouR picture, "The Ideal," in colours, and a photogravure of "The Rose," by Maurice Randall. There are excel- lent stories by well-known writers. Ladv readers will find "The Lady" a budget of good things. Amongst other interesting articles may be mentioned one on "Christinas in the Great Houses of To-day." One of the features of "The Lady's Rp.itm" double num- her is the ciloiidir," illustrsited by charming portraits in colour. The stories and -s"rictus are excellent. The chief feature of the. "London" is a long seasonable story by (I. in his best style. The question of India is also prominent, for in addition to Are article on the Mutiny by Mr. F. A. Mackew-je, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle tells t'he st.P" what happenad to ancient Britain when t guar- dian power of Rome was withdrawn.
