The CRAIGLEITH FOSSIL TREE.--""b
e
interesting object has been ene.osed by the tenant of I
t.
quarry, and one shilling is no.v charged for a sight of I.:
So far from condemning this arrangement, we think ;i
will meet the approbation of every friend of science. 00
is a proof of liberality in the tacksman of a quarry, vi.ie
has a high rent to pay, to concern himself about .0
preservation of such an object. And after incurring mr,
expense of 20/. by enclosing it, and submitting to a get!l
tiin olistruction in his operations, we think he 14 if
entitled to be remunerated lor his outlay. We doubt
the money drawn will ever 410 more; but we should 1'
well pleased if it did.—Scotsman.
SINGULAR CIRCUMSTANCE.-011 Wet
nesday morning last a rather singular occurrence 1°°";
place at the George Inn, Caistor. A traveller, about
proced on his journey, ordered the Boots to brush 11'
greatcoat, but forgot to state to him, that he had inOr
tiously left a loaded pistol in one of the pockets. In tne
eagerness to brush the coat well, aecordin.f to order, tb:
pistol exploded, hut providentially the muzzle being Leo
wards, the ball only grazed and lacerated that per,t
the right hand which happened to be in contact.
gie ii assistance was immediately obtained, and forte'
ri,tely the injury is pronounced Is likely to prove 001 Y a
temporary inconvenience.—Boston Herald.
PONTIUS PILATE.—In the neighbour,—
of Vienne, abou, 20 miles from Lyons, stand the ruin%
a tall square Roman tower, called Tour de Masteoxi(lje
Toe legends of the country affirm that this was tie ob°,i
of Pontius Pilate, and that in a fit of despair and e
he threw himself from its windows into the '/
Itbone, 7-rio
he perished. This paint the good Catholics must oetbool
they can with the Swiss, who maintain that he drost• b
himself in a little Alpine lake on the mountain svbree
hears his n tine; and that the 'tonna by which it jefliis
quently agitated are occasioned by the writhing' ul
perturbed spirit.

EMIGRATION TO ENGLAND.—The 11-,100
of the ship Carroll, of Carrollton, Captain Bird,
New York, within the last two days, with 171 steere,
passengers, would stem to indicate that the tide of erncilg,,,r
tton is flowing from America to, instead of from, P7O;
land ; at any rate so great a number of steerage pavee; 1
in one vessel is an unusual circumstance.—Liter'
Standard.

HEAT OF ANIMALS.--The heat 0, to
human body will raise the mercury of the thermometer
about 98 degree.. That of other animals varies eer;
widely. A wriner in the " Juvenile Rambler" oboe 50
that the beat of some fishes and reptiles is below'
esl:f
while that of some birds is as high as 110. The 5z7,6,
comes nearest to man in this respect, his heat being ,
The dog, cat, bog, sheep, and ox are from 100 to I°
the shark, 83 ; the whale, 104 ; the house sparrow arse
the robin sometimes 111, which is the maximum, la ti
as we know. It is curious to observe that the e4fc—fcc
wolf has a reasonable advantage of 9 degrees over the v'
of our own latitude.
