A colored minister of Richmond, Virginia, has invented a whistling piano, the keyboard of which is arranged 0:1 a scale somewhat 'different from that bf an ordinary piano. It. is reported to he capable of whistling the most difficult notes, and the inventor is confident that his device will become popular with his own n,ee. throughout the world. . • "Bonnie, Doofy'— -how, the words ecnjure up the thoughts and menioru 1 of the days of our fathers in the Old Land, So NEW TOBACCO,, for the man wo< M.tnts a MEDiCM BLEND—bring; satisfaction arid delight to every smok (>r.

"The Fallen, Idol," the Academy p -oblem picture by the Hon. John Collier, has been explained by the painter himself. The canvas depicts ,1 weeping woman kneeling beside her husband, and people have wondered whether the "fallen idol" was the woman or the man. In a letter to the Rev. J. Jermyn, of the Congregational Church, Wanstead, Mr Collier s.tys: —"The weeping woman is the fallen idol. It is a young wife confessing to her middle-aged husband. The husband is evidently a studious n an, and has possibly neglected her. Afc any rate, the first thought that 0 curs to him is, 'Was- it my fault?' 1 imagine he will forgive his wife."

This statement dates back to a time when very little was known a'.out the distribution of land and water in the polar regions, and needs to be considerably revised in the light of recent discoveries. Taking account of the results of the latest polar expeditions, Professor Wagner estimates that the ratio between land and wate; is as 1 to 2.42—in other words, that about three-sevenths of the earth's surface is land, and the rest water. Tins estimate assumes that only 10 p'T cent, of the surface north of latitude 80 deg. north is land—an assumption' that may be considerably modified by the forthcoming explorations of tlio great unknown region north of British America and Eastern Siberia.
