SPONTANEOUS DECOMPOSITION OF FABRIC
OF SILK. In March, 1902, Mr.. Jonathan Day
ton, then Senator from New Jersey, while
attending to his duty at the city of Washington
met with the loss of pair of black SILK STOCK
ings in an uncommon manner The wea,her
having been cold, on the 18th of March, nc had
worn two pair of stockings, one of wool and the
other of silk. When retiring to bed, he obsery-
ed. ON separating and removing the silk stock
inns from the woollen ones, that there was an
unusual swapping and sparkling of electric mat
ter Int as he had been long acquainted win
such appearances, it attracted but httie hot.Ge'
IInon risiner in the morning, he found that the
leather slipper over which the stockings mad
lain was converted to coal. The stockings
were changed to a brown or butternut coior'
and although they were entire, their texture
and structure were altogether aestroyeo'
q Though this destruction of the stockings
took place during the night, when nobody saw
the manner and circumstances OF the process,
yet 4bere was evidence enough OF the evolution

before mentioned, the garter was burned II

limit was as sound as ever. The part Of the
carpet with its fringe, which lay between the
stockings and the floor, was in like manner to-
tally destroyed just as far as it was covered by
the stockings and no farther The floor plank,
which was of pitch pine, was also considerably
scorched: and, beneath the place where the
thickest folds of the stockings had lain, was
converted to charcoal Or lamp-black, to con-
siderable depth.

little there was, was eight or nine feet distant

New YORK, April 6.


From AFRICA. We learn from Can't
Stevens, of the brig Mary Ann, from the
island of Zanzibar, Africa, that the Sultan
OF Muscat arrived there about the middle of
January, in ship of the line, 1.-THE LIVERPOOL
with two frigates, two gun briggs and great
number of armed transports, with 5000
troops from Mombas and Patka, having sub
dued both places.
1t was the intention and the desire of the
Sultan of Muscat, as he informed the writer
ofthis, to send frigate to the United States
for the purpose of forming a commercial
treaty, and placing us on the same footing
with England. He was endeavoring to bro.
cure navigator capable of navigating the
vessel to the United States. The Sultan
expressed much surprise that the govern
ment of the United States had never made
the attempt to enter into commercial trea-
ty with him, the advantages arising from it
would be wholly in favour of American
trade. His dominions now extend from the
Persian Gulph to Cape DECADE. A great
number of French slave traders, from the
isle of Bourbon, were on the coast. The
schr., Union, Capt. Fresco, belonging to
Bourbon, with cargo of slaves, was cut off
at Linda by order Of the Governor, and eve
ry Frenchman murdered, excepting one
man, who escaped by jumping overheard
ana swimming to the shore.

MoNKIEs. Apes and Monkies are con-
sidered by some as u caricature upon man,
designated to humble his pride and repress
his vanity 1t may be so; but he who con-
templates a monkey with a feeling of hui
initiation, is the more contemplate animal
of the two. a man should never be asham-
ed of his relations (if monkies are such,) and
least of all should he be jealous of the pow
ers and capacities of the brutes. A weaver
would cut pretty figure in expressing his
envy of the spider-so would mason in
undertaking the skill of the beaver.
The ape approaches man more nearly
than the monkey, but the latter is the more
interesting brute; one might pass away his
whole life pleasantly, in watching the
pranks and maneuvres of these mischev-
ious little rascals. The lion is called the
undisputed lord of the forest;n he is not
so-he never presumes to question the right
of the monkies to the dominion of those
parts where they may please to fix their
residence. The tiger sometimes takes it
into his head to trespass upon their terrific
ries, but the offensive operations carried ON
by his little antagonists from the tops of
trees, to him inaccessible, soon compel him
they pay to the lordly form of man, when
he intrudes on their premises. They jump
from tree to tree, surround him, chatter,
grin, make faces, and throw sticks at him.
The dignity of the human eye will, it is said,
awe the lion himself-it is subject of mer-
riment with the monkey.
The chief enemy of the monkey is the
serpent, and they are constant belligerents
The large serpents will wind cautiously up
the trees, and if they catch their enemies
asleep, they swallow them whole. What a
fuss the little rogue must make when he
wakes up and finds himself in the stomach
of a serpent Of all sorts of animal food, a
live monkey must be the least digestible.
Monkies fare best in India; they are OBJ
jects of worship there, and Temples are
built in their honor. What has man not
worshipped in his blindness and his folly
Onions, cows, and crocodiles-and, to crown
all, monkies! In Guzerat there are hospitals
for brutes, and many lnonkies who stand in
no need of medical advice, take up their
quarters there, and live like nabobs. 9th
ers often come in large numbers into the
city, and establish themselves on the roofs
of the houses. If the natives are not prompt
in furnishing them with rice and fruits, they
break the tiles and throw them down upon
passers-by, in all the licence of unbridled
despotism.-.NetO York Courier.
