SoME FAcrs ILLUSTRATIVE OF the TARDI-
NESS WITH WHICH MANKIND ADOPT IMPROVE
MENTs.
Canal Locks were invented in 1881 by engin-

The Steam Engine was invented, or rather
the principle of it diseOUered, by the Marquis
OF Worcester, as early as 1860. Few under.
stood and encouraged them He died in great
mortiIcatlon. The honor was afterwards en-
crossed by Savary.
In l765 the Earl of Stanhope applied the
steam engine to propelling vessel. A steam
boat was run 30 miles on the Sankey Canal.
Liverpool, in 1897, and another on the Forth
and Clyde Canal, in 1901 Mr.. Niles of the
Reglster, says that he made a trip on the Della
ware IN q steam boat as early as 1871 In
5oO|, when Fulton was fitting up his first steam
boat at New York, respectable, and sensible, and
grey headed men, said he was fl" Now
there is scarcely an interest in the community
that does not depend more or less, on steam
boats
Oliver Evans went before committees Of Leg
islature. first in Pennsylvania and then in Ma

early as 1904. He asked little aid TO defray
the expense. They could hardly be prevented
from reporting in favor, not of steam engines

whereabouts, commenced canal between the
Wolga and the Don, the Governors and Boy.
ards OF The country opposed it earnestly, think
ing 1t taptety to turn rivers ont of the channels
which heaven had assigned them.
When some Dutchmen proposed 10 make the
river Manzanares navigable to the Tagis, and
that to Lisbon, the Council said if it had been
the will of God that the rivers should be navi-
gable he would have made them So
When Brinley the great engineer told COM
mittee OF Parliament, to whom Bride eUaterS
petition was referred, that canals were better
Than rivers, and would supersede them for the
purpose Of navigation, the committee were
shocked, and asked him, " And pray, Sir. what
were rivers made for ? $40 feed canals"

the moderate friends of the late change.
10 the left of these sit the extreme pauche

practical effect. In particular they urge

was founded on the unaionable sovereignty of
the people, 1t is the duty Of France, for her own
sake, to support this principle in every part of
Europe, and therefore in Belgium, in Poland.

SERPEETs. 1t is but rarely that serpents will
attack man without being highly provoked, and we
may observe, that their poison is more subtitle and
alve IN proportion to the heat of the climate which
they lnhablt The hot and humid steppes and sa-
Vannahs OF Asia and America, and the burning sky
ot the African deserts, seem by far the best suited
to the multiplication and development of these
reptiles. Only Is or 10 of their species inhablt
Europe, while Russell has described 43 merely tor
the coasts of Bengal and Coromandel. Equatorial
America, scorched by the burning rays of the sun,
and necessarily watered by those immense rivers
which roll the tribute of their towards Its
eastern boundaries furnishes of itself alone accor-
ding the observation of NJ. de Humboldt ll5 spe-
cIes out of go which have been described in the
ophidian order. In the provinces whichit contains,
the EARTH peculiarly lavish in the support of poison
GUS weeds and hurtful animals, has peOpled with
impure and dangerous reptiles the inundated mo-
rasses and yet untrodden forests of these mighty
regions. They swarm in Surinam in French
Guiana in Peru, in Brazil, in the neighborhood of
the Lower Orinoco, in Nicaragua, Panama, and
CassiGuiare.
! Twice year they lay an immense number of
( eggs, and are so excessively abundant that when
the natives set fire to the brush wood SC, with
which the country is covered, whole armies, as it
WERE Of formidable serpents, sally forth in all d.
rections in crowded ranks, TO the number OF thirty
or forty thousand at time putting all to flight be-
! fore them But in colder climates few individu-
ais only are found scattered over large extent OF
territory. They begin to be enough in Ger
many and Russia, still more towards Siberia,
and totally disappear approach the Polar ne
Cons. Neither are they ever found upon high
mountains. beyond an elevation of five or s. thou
sand feet as has been observed on the ridge of the
Cordilleras on the platforms of Santa-Fe de Bogo-
ia, on the Andes, at Antisaua and pinchicha.-
But among all the known serpents thereis scarcely
one-sixth, or one-6fth part of them, that may be
considered ola really dangerous character Among
the forythree species Of the East Indies described
by Russell seven alone are to be feared and in the
enumeration of the ophidans which were known
, in his time, by Daudin. there were eighty venom
Gus Species and two hundred and thirty three no

and one in four in Europe, redoubtable for thei
poison. The others are innocent animals, whcl
