A medical consultation by wireless in mid-Atlantic was reported! lately on the arrival of the American liner President Monroe at Cherbourg. The liner pickedl up a wireless appeal from, a Danish sailing vessel for medical advice, and the ship’s doctor was l able by. wireless questions to get a full description of tile patient’s symptoms. He then prescribed a course of treatment to be followed. It so happened that the wireless appeal of the sailing ship 1 put it in touch with a wealth of rifediea.l skill, since the passengers on the liner included three distinguished professors of the medical faculty of Paris, who were returning from the medical congress at Montreal.

Accompanying a heavy fall of rain one night lately there came a swarm of tiny green and black fleis in Central London. Myriads of the insects suddenly made their appearance. About the same size as gnats, with hero and there a larger type, with trailing wings, the flies fluttered around electric lights, writes a Daily Chronicle representative, became entangled in one’s hair, and in various ways caused discomfort. Some were green in color—somewhat similar to the familiar greenfly of the garden, though not so large—while others were black, with iridescent wings and curiously-shaped bodies.
