lii the “Scientific American” of this month, published before the accident in Sydney Harbour, there is an article on a physical phenomenon known as “Ber noulli’.s Principle,” which may have a significant bearing on tlie cause of the Tahiti-GreyclifFe collision. The article deals with the conditions of water pressure between two adjacent floating masses, and proceeds: “Dynamically it will be. the same whether the boats arc moored in a. stream or arc movin.<t forward side by side, for in either case the space between the floats is at reduced pressure. Tu naval manoeuvres it is not an unknown accident for the navigating officers to neglect to take such forces into account, whereupon the boats collide.” The (Conditions described appear to ho strikingly analogous to those; of the recent tragedy. The article includes a diagram indicating the “draw” of two adjacent vessels proceeding in the same direction.

ELECTRIC 7'TUCK OX THE BEES. T.OXDOX, Oct. IS. An electrical hoax perpetrated on I)OOS to make them believe that spring had arrived, was described by ATi- liorhiso Matthews. the electrical farming pioneer, in a lecture to the Electrical Association of 'Women in London yesterday. A beam of light, ho said, was thrown on the entrance to a hive from an electric lamp. This made the sleepy bees crawl out to greet what they thought to Tie the sun of spring. They immediately hurried hack to tell the Queen lice, who began to lay eggs as fast as she could. In front of their house the hees discovered a. breakfast table laid for them—a plate of syrup seasoned with salt and vinegar, a. plate of artificial pollen and a plate of water. On the table also was a vase of flowers to give them an admixture of real polion and complete the illusion. The result was that, the bees got about earlier and fertilised thoroughly the apple crop, while a gain of t7|lh. of honey per hive was made.
