POLITE INVITATION.-At the late election at Shaftesbury,
....ngland, an Irishman made his appearance, and happening
to say something in the crowd to the candidates, one of the
whig party exclaimed from the hustings, " Oh, Paddy, now
co to the devil !" " I'm much obiiged to yer honour," was
, '` sure ye are the first gentleman that has in-

of imitating every motion but that of flight. To effect them

hp has, in r-natUrfty and health, sixty bones in his bead, sixty
in his thighs and legs, sixty-two in his arms and hands,
sixty-seven in his trunk. He has also 434 muscles. His
heart makes 64 pulsations in a minute ; and, therefore, 3,840
in an hour. 92,160 in a day. There are alSo three complete
circulations of his blood in the short space of an hour. In
respect to the comparative speed of animated beings and of
impelled bodies, it may be remarked, that size and construc-
tion seem to have little influence—nor has comparative
strength, although one body giving any quantity of motion to
another is said to lose so much of its own. The sloth is by
no means a small animal, and yet it can travel only fifty paces
in a day ; a worm crawls only five inches in fifty seconds ;
but a ladybird can fly twenty millions times its own length in
.less than an hour. An elk can run a mile and a half in seven
minutes ; an antelope a mile in a minute ; the wild mule of
Tartary has a speed even greater than that ; an eagle can fly
18 leagues in an hour • and a Canary falcon can even reach
250 leagues in the short space of sixteen hours. A violent
wind travels 60 miles in an hour; sound, 1,142 English feet
in a second.
