SCIENTIFIC MISCELLANY.

A* electric signal apparatus on t French railway causes the blowing of • •team whistle upon a locomotive ap Broaching a danger signal. The engineej fe thus warned. This apparatus is found valuable in fogs and snow-storms, when ordinary signals often escape notice. The number of varieties of insects u rtetly greater than that of all other living creatures. The oak supports 450 •pedes of insects, and 200 are found in the pine. Humboldt, in 1849, calculated that between 150,000 and 170,000 species were preserved in collections, but recent estimates place the present number at about 750,000 species. It is a very general belief that great burial places exert a noxious influence, which must render the localities very unhealthy as places of residences This Mea is shown to be a mistaken one by the results of any inquiry into the sanitary condition of the cemeteries of Paris. The composition of the air in the cemeI cries is reported to be indistinguishable from that of arable lands. Concerning the moon’* effect on tides, the Astronomer Royal for Leland recently stated that, while the day is gradually lengthening through lunar action tides, the earth reacts on the moon •nd drives it away farther and farther. Looking backward, the moon must have been nearer and nearer tho earth, md at one epoch in the remote ages of the past—perhaps about 50,000,100 of years ago—the two bodies up st have been very close together, Chen the day was but three hours lon,v Instead of twenty-four. At that distant oeriod, the earth rotated once every three hours, and the moon revolved with it in the same time. So near was the moon jhat, if there had been oceans in those days as now, the tides must have been 216 times as great as at the present time; And, rising to an immense height, would have swept over the whole of England. Animal life in the Sahara is somewhat peculiar to the region, and, according to M. Vogt, the traveler is struck with the absence of all bright colors in the animals of the desert. As a rule, their hue approaches that of the ground, and the Adaptation is most remarkable in birds, reptiles, grasshoppers, etc. Black and white exist in some animals—for instance, the male ostrich—which have nothing to fear from enemies; and a •ingle exception to the rale occurs •ancxg insects the Coleoptera are nearly all black. To explain the existence in safety of these insects whose ?olor must make them conspicuous, M. Vogt, states that they feign death on the Approach of danger and in that state slosely resemble the excrements ol gazelles, goats, £ad sheep. This description, with their disagreeable odor, gives them Sufficient protection. The general color of the ground to the desert », of course that of sand. At the Crystal Palace, London, a •econd international electrical exhibition is to follow closely on the heels of the fast at Paris. The objects to be exhih ted are chiefly compared in thess elafises ; Apparatus used for the production and transmission of electricity Mid magnets, natural and artificial, mariners’ compasses ; lightning oonduc tors, and applications of electricity tc telegraphy and the transmission ol founds, to the production of heat, to lighting and the production of light, to the service of light-houses and signals, to apparatus giving warning to mines, railway? aal navigation, to military art, to tips arts, to electro-chemistry and chemical arts, to the production and transmission of motive power, the mechanical arts, to surgery and medicine, Co horology, to astronomy, to meteorology, tj ° geodesy, to agriculture, to apparat’xs for registering, and to domestic aces.

Mrs. Barbanld's Childhood.

One can fancy the little aasifcout prl, industrious, impulsive, interested tn everything—in all life and all nature —drinking in, on every side, learning, eagerly wondering, fastening to all around with bright and ready wit, There is a pretty little story told by Mrs. Ellis in her book about Mrs. Banbauld, how one day, when Dr. Aiken and a friend “were conversing on ths passions,” the doctor observes that joy cannot have place in a state of perfect felicity, since it supposes an accession of happiness. “ I think you are mistaken, papa,” says a little voice from the oj> posite side of the table. “Why so, my child?” says the doctor. “Because in the chapter I read to you this morning, in the Testament, it is said that * there is more joy in heaven over one sinner that repeneth than over ninety and nine lust persons that need no repentance.’ 1 * Besides her English Testament and her early reading, the little girl was taught by her mother to do as little daughters lid in those days —to obey a somewhat austere rule, to drop curtsies in the right place, to make beds, to preserve tru.ta The father, after demur, but surely not without some paternal pride in her proficiency, taught the child Latin and Wrench and Italian, and something of Greek, and gave her an acquaintance with English literature. One can imagine little Nancy, with her fair head bending over her lessons, or, when playing-time had come, perhaps a little lonely and listening to the distant voices of the schoolboys at their games. The mother, tearing she might acquire rough and boisterous manners, strictly forbade any communication with the schoolboys. Sometimes in after days, speaking of these early times and of the constraint of many by-gone rules and regulations, Mrs. Barbauld used to attribute to this early, formal training something of the hesitation and shyness which troubled her and never entirely wore off. ghe does not seem to have been in any great harmony with her mother. One could imagine a fanciful and high-spirited child, timid and dutiful, and yet strongwilled, secretly rebelling against the rigid order of her home, and feeling lonely for want of liberty and companionship. It was true she had birds and beasts and plants for her playfellows, but she was of a gregarious and sociable nature, and perhaps she was unconsciously longing for something more, and feeling a want in her early life which nc silent company can supply.— Ths Cornhill Magazine.

Simple Tales for Utile Children.

1. Here we have an album. It is full of pictures for little children with dirty fingers to look at. Here are two pictures of papa. This is one of him before he was married to mamma. Ke looks like C two-year-old colt behind a band of music. Here is a picture of papa after he had married mamma. Now he looks like a government mule hauling a load of pig iron. See if you can put you? finger on the K»se and the eyes and the month of each picture. Turn down a leaf when you come to f pretty p.cttne you like. The baby is eating br-ad and aolusses.

Mamma will not miss the oil If you pour it m the stove, but she may miss you. A little, oil on the carpet is cot a bad thing for the o:l, bur it is fc bad thing for the carpet and you. 3.

Too Troo, Too Troo.

Man that is married to woman is oi many days and full of trouble. In the morning he draws his salary, and in the evening behold it is all gone. It is a tale that is told, it vanisheth, and no one knoweth whither it gatch. He riseth up clothed in the chill# garments of the night and seeketh the somnolent paregoric wherewith to heal the *»Hcky bowels of his offspring. He imitateth the horse or ox, and drawoth the chariot of his posterity. He spendeth his shekels in the purchase of fine linen and purple, to cover the bosom of his family, yet he himself is seen at the gates of the city with one suspender. He cometh forth as a flower, and is cut down. There is hope of a tree when it is cut down that the tender roots thereof will sprout again, but man goeth to his home, and what :a he then ? Yea, he is altogether wretched. ko ast beef, or fowl, will be much nicer if they are kept covered while roasting; it keeps them moist; uncover juat time enough to let them brown.
