FEBRUARY I19, I 89 2.] logsouthern hemisphere to cool the ocean wate.rs and still furtherlower the temsperature of the Gulf Stream, and also the tropicalcurrents of the oceans, including tbe great Japanese current, the iceperiod of both hemispheres vvould be brought about during thesame era. For it is well known to those who bave studied thesubject that the Gulf Stream derives a large portion of its beatfrom the south Atlantic; which would not be the case should thewaters of the southern hemisphere be chilled by ice. For it ap-pears that all of the south Atlantic islands during frigid times wereburdened with glaciers. Even the isla-nd of St. Helena, situatedin the tropical zone, has the appearance of having been heavilyiced during some remote period. Its steep ravines, which deepenas they approach tbe sea, recall to the soutbern voyager the ice-worn islands of the higher latitudes. Thus when the temperateregions of both hemispberes were heavily iced the temperature ofthe tropical seas must have been comparatively low, especially onthe eastern sides of the oceans which are swvept by the polar cur-rents. Moreover, the sea was much salter than now, on- accountof a large portion of its waters being absorbed by glaciers. Fur-tbermore, whenever the arctic channels are filled with glaciers the,indef,endent circulation of the arctic waters must cease; conse-quently the Gulf Stream, meeting with less opposing polar cur-rents on its sweep naorthward, would thus be able to gain a muchhigber latitude than now. Although its waters at first would becolder than t,hey are to-day; still tbeir superior saltness would addto their ability for dissolving ice wherever they were able to flow.But it appears that the Gulf Stream and otber tropical currents oftbe northern oceans would not be able to subdue the cold accu-mulated in nortbern ice-sbeets witbout the assistance of a com-

parativelyr warm ocean in the southern bemispbere. The southernseas being so much superior and so widely connected with thenorthern, the tropical currents of the latter seas would requirethe assista-nce of the soutbern oceans to subdue thle cold of anortliern ice period, in the same degree that it required their co-operation to bring about the frigid period. The arctic straits,wbich now facilitate the independent circulation of cold Arctiecwvaters, would, when filled with glaci'ers, be slow to thawr ouit, evenwith the increasing warmth of the arctic regions, on account ofbeing situated to the windward of the warm gulf currents. Tbere-fore, the glaciers that filled their deep channels would be the lastgreat body of ice to melt in the northern. regions; and -for thisreason it is probable that there are fragments of the old ice of thelast frigid 'period still unmelted and now form a portion of thelower shores of the arctic straits. This conclusion is in har-mony wvith reports from Point Barrow which i-nfo-rm us that astratum of pure ice is found beneath the scanty soil.. The lowtemperature of the waters of thle tropical oceans during the per-fection of a frigid period must have been very destructive tooceanic life; while such as survived probably found refuge innearly landlocked equatorial seas, where the waters were largelyexcluded 'from the colder ocean, and also freshened by sucb riversas emptied into them. Meanwbile, the low temperature of theocean must bave chilled the atmosphere over the land to such adegree as to have caused the destruction of many species of ani-mals C. A. M. TABER.

Electricity in Agriculture.THE, abstract under the above title in Science for Jan. 15, 1892,

which I have only just found time to read, proves very interest-ing to me, and I do inot wish in any way to bave it inferred thatI disbelieve in the influence of electricity, at least indirectly, uponthe growth of plants; but it does not seem out of place to call at-tention to the fact that the comparative rarity of mildew on plantsgrown-above electricity-bearing copper wires in moist soil may bediie to the action of the copper salts formed in killing the mildewratber than to electrical action.

den A" (Science, p. 36) are stated to have "'grown about thewires, as if there they found the- greatest amount of nourishment,"etc. This would also be the result from the roots seeking the en-vironment best'suited for growtb, if tbe mildew could inot thrive

about the wires on account of the trace of copper salts wbhicb thesoil contained.The use of sprays containing copper salts, in tbe form of Bor-

deaux mixrture or similar compounds, as a preventive of mildewof grape-vines and otber plants is well known, and the controlplot, 44 Garden B, sbould have been provided with copper wires,exactly as was II Garden A," to make the results of the experi-ment conclusive. As I bave not seen the original article ill theBulletin of the Hatch Exrperiment Station, from which the abEstractin -Science was taken, it may be tbe fact that this action of thecopper salts upon mildew has been discussed there.

AMONG THE PUBLISHERS.E. &; F. N. SPON &5 CO. announce 'i Roll Turning for Sectioins

in Steel and Iron, " by Adam Spencrer. The subject of roll-turningiS tTeated froin a purely practical poiint, and for practical men.The drawings are the result of experience, and their value consistsin the fact that they are working drawings, that is, drawings ofrolls wbich have passed tbrough the ordeal of actual workr. Thearrangement of the work is as follows: First, drawing of modernblooming for steel slabs, followed by a pair of billet rolls, thenvarious sections sbowing the related grooves in cogging, rougbing,and finishiDg rolls, wvith the position and cha-racter of collars re-quired. "1 A Text-Book of the Science of Brewing," by EdwardRalph Moritz and George Harris Morris. The following extractfrom the introduction will show its character: "4The object ofthis work is to provide in a convenient and accessible form suchknowledge of the processes of brewing and of the materials em-ployed in that industry as is at our disposal; aind-so far as weare able -to connect sueb kinowledge *vith tbe practice of brew-iDg. We tberefore intend it as a text-book in which may be foundthe results of scientific research together with the practical con-clusions wbich 'we consider justly deducible from thern. We donot pretend that a perusal of our work will enable a novice tobrew beer; neitber will a study of it convert a purely practicalman into a chemist. It is meant, however, to lead the brebwer-toa better understanding of what we may term the physiology andpathology of brewing, and, byr so doing, put at bis disposal a meansfor more efficient control-over his operations." "Manual of In-struction in Hard Solderiing," by'Hwvey Rowell. "The Mechani,cal and Other Properties of Iron and Steel in Connection withTheir Chemical Composition," by A. Vostmaer, engineer. The authorhas gathered together the wvidely scatteredi information on thisimportant subject, and gives in brief outline the actual knowledgeof the intimate connection that exists between the properties ofsteel and iron a-nd their chemical composition. The elements-carbon, manganese, silicon, phospborus, sulphur, copper, chro-mium, titanium, tuDgsten, aluminium, nickel, cobalt, arsenic, anti-muony, zinc, lead, t-in, silver, molybdenum, vanadium, potassium,sodium, barium, stro-ntiutm, calcium, and magnesium-hbavebeen considered separately and in the following manner: First, asto the metallulrgical behavior of the elements in question; nexrt,to deal with their influence on pig iron, cast iron, wrought iron,7and steel; lastly, the special uses made of them, and their occur-rence in manufactured objec'ts. The gases, intermolecular, reac-tion, and mixred, have beein 'carefully considered, and analyrsesgiven of foundry, bessemer, basic, and forge pig-irons, spiegel-irorw, ferromanganese, ferrosilicons, ferrochromes, ferrotungsten,ferroaluminium, cast-iro-ns, weld irons.
