The Euler characteristic of an even dimensional submanifold in a space of constant curvature is given in terms of Weyl's curvature invariants. A derivation of Chern's kinematic formula in non-Euclidean space is completed. As an application of above results Weyl's tube formula about an odd-dimensional submanifold in a space of constant curvature is obtained.
