INsriNcT OF PLANTS AND ANIMALS.
DR.. Hancock has lately published, in
London. very entertaining as we'll az
instructive book, on the subject Of In.
stinci. In showing the instinct of plants
he adduces the following instance, which
has probably been observed by many
persons.
He says, that if vessel of water Is
placed within six inches of growing
cucumber, that, in twenty-four hours
time, the cucumber will alter the de
rection of its branches, and not stop
ill it esmo1 into contact with the wa-
ter. That if pole is placed at COM
siderable distance from an unsupported
vine. the branches of which are pro-
ceeding in contrary direction from that
towards the pole, the vine will, 10 short
time. alter its course, and not stop I'LL il
clines round the pole. But the same
vine will carefully avoid attaching lie
self to low vegetables, nearer 10 IT, IA
the cabbage. SO
The following strong case is cited by
him to show the existence OF a reasoR~
ing power in animals.

ToADs.-The popular belief in the
venomous nature of The toad, though of
great antiquity, has been rejected as a
vulgar prejudice by modern naturallsts,
decidedly so by Cuvier; but, like many
other long received and prevalent opin-
ions, it is true one, and the denial of
it by philosophers has resulted from SUI
perhcial examination. DR.. Dayy has
communicated to the Royal Society that
he found the venomous matter TO be
contained in follicles, chiefly in the GU
lis vera, and about the head and shout,
ders, but also distributed generally over
the body, and even in the extremities

II is found that the only certain mode
of retaining the pure flavor of the
coffee, is to roast, pound, and boil it, all
in quick succession, the roasted berries
soon losing their flavor if laid by for a
day, and The pounded coffee becoming
insipid, even in few hours. The
Arabs of the desert, who are from me-
cessity economical in the use of this ar
ticIe, follow the same process, even ii
they require only two cups of the liq-
uid, roasting handful of berries on an
iron plate, pounding them in the pestle
and mortar while warm, and the instant
the water boils, which it will generally
do by the time the other preparations
are completed, so that no time is lost,
putting the pounded powder into it, and
suffering it to boil, stirring it at the same
time for about a minute or two, when
it is poured out to drink.

Dressing HAS by .Ndchinery.-A Patent
has been granted TO Edward Ouerenshsw, Of

of dressing and finishing hats, by means Of
machinery. To effect this, the hats fixed

made to revolve with slow and continuous
motion, making about twenty turns in a min
ute ; the workman holds in his left hand a
small cushion covered with plush, which he
applies TO the hat on the fur side, whilst the
hot iron is passed in succession over every
part Of the crown. When this is finished the
hat is fixed upon a horizontal lathe, where the
tip or fat of the hat is dressed in the way be-
fore described it is then removed to third
spindle, running horizontally, and furnished
with a suitable support TO the brim, the tor
surface of which is then finished. To com
plete the operation, the hat is removed to an
other horizontal lathe, prepared to receive
the crown, so that the lower part oft the brn
may be turned upwards, it being at-the same
properlygsupported by the rim of wood in suit
able shape. 1t is now made to revolve with
about half the former velocity; which, while
it presents every part in succession to the
workman, admits of his drawing the heated iron
from the inner towards the outer edge of the
brin. Each of these operations is repeated
a second time, when The dressing is complet-
