An EncivEER of Toulon has invented a plan
for keeping the water in the harbors of the
Mediterranean, which isin a perpetual state
of stagoation in consequence of the abseoce of
tides, constaotly renewed by an ingenious mechanical apparatus. The naval prefect of ‘Toulon, who distioguished himself so mach while
the cholera was prevalent in that towo, is
about to test this invention. If the trials prove
successful, the discovery will be most valuable
from a sanitary point of view, as the uohealthiness of many of the ports is chiefly caused by
the stagnant water.
A Geran has succeeded in counting the hairs
of four women’s heads, of different complexions.
The blonde had 140,419;-the brown-haired had
109,440; the black-haired, peo and the red-}
haired, 83,740.
