INSTINCT OF THE ANT LION.

Among the instincts which direct ami
mails in the requirement Of their food,
few are more remarkable than ID Sc pos.
sessed by the iarva OF an ant-lion, small
insect allied to the dragon fly. This an
mal IS destined TO feed upon ants and 9th.
er small insects, whose juices II sucks
but it moves slowly and with difficulty,
so that il could scarcely have obtained
the requisite supply OF food, il Nature had
not guided It in the construction Of re-
markable snare, which entraps the prey
it could no, acquire by pursuit. 1t digs
in fine sand lltlle funnel shaped pit, and
conceals itself at the bottom OF this until
an insect falls over its edges and if its
victim seeks 10 escape or stops IN its fall
TO the bottom, it throws over it, by means
OF its head and mand bles, a quantity OF
sand, by which the insect is caused to roll
down the steep, within reach of its cap
tor. The manner in which the ant lion
digs this pit is extremely curious. .Aher
having examined the spot where il pur-
poses TO esta blIsh itself, it traces a circle
OF the Dimensions of the mouth of its pit,
thea placing itself within this line, and
making use of one of its legs ss spade,
/: digs out quantity OF sand, which it
heeps upon its head, and then. by sud-
den jerk, throws this some inches beyond
It's circle. Ia this manner il digs trench,
which serves as the border of its intended
excavation, moving backwards along The
circle until it comes TO the same point
again; It then changes sides, and moves
IN the contrary direction, and so contln-
ues until it's work is completed. II, in
the course Of its labors. il meets with
little stone, TIE presence Of which would
lnjure the perfection Of its snare, it neg
lects it at first but returns to it after fin
lshing the rest of its work, and uses all
IFS efforts 10 get II upon its back aud car
ry il out of its excavation; but If II can
not succeed in this, il absndoEs its work,
and commences anew elsewhere. When
the pit is completed, it 10 usually abou,

walls has been altered by any slip, as al.

MORSE'S ELECTRO MAGNETIC
TELEGRAPH.

This wonderful machine is likely, ere
long, to become successful rival to all
other modes Of transmitting business and
social communications from place TO
place. With lice of the Telegrapaic
conductors extending from this city TO
New York, the Merchants of either City
would no longer send their Letters
by Mali or Express, and be subject to a
delay Of tairty.six hours for an answer.
They would be compelled, by the natural
course OF events, to use the Telegfaphic
conveyance, by which means they might
get an answer to their communications,
in from half an hour to an hour and
half, according to the distance their cor
respondent might be from the Telegraph
Office. 1t would be required no longer
time to communicate with New Orleans,
il the Teiegraphic conductors exteaded
thus far, than ii would with New York,
or than it does between Scnooi street and
Court street, IN this city, where the leie
graph is now in operation. The only time
consumed, is that requisite ior striking
the characters, (,he electric fluid iraveli-
ing the circuit of the conductor. at We.
ocity Of ls0 thousand miles 10 sec.
ond, and Professor Morse has made 100
of the characters in minute, through q
long communication, between Washing
ton and Baltimore. 1t would, therefore,
REQUIRE but ten minutes to transmit a
communication Of one thousand letters.
which would be much larger than the
majority of business letters. Prof. Morse
has a system, also, by which all commu.
nicaiions through the Telegraph are made
private. The most private business let
ter, or most glowing saste Of love, may
be communicated through the Telegraph.

A jon FOR A DENTIST. A young chap

always luli OF lun and frolic, found one
day an old dry jaw-bo oil some detuncl

it up, aud took it to the dentist OF the VII
age, for the purpose OF having It "opera-

"Why do you bring this here = asked

"WelI, DOCTOR" replied the youth, 81

The lhlle joker retreated, in double

ed it, he turned round and said, with
cunning smile:
"Now, look here, doctor, you needn't
get mad about 1t; it's first-rate job Tor

REMARKABLE ROCK.

| One of the most remarkable rocks oil
which we have any knowledge has been
lately discovered in the middle of that
great inland sea, Lake Superior. By a
gentleman who has recently returned to
this city from Copper Harbor, we learn
that a shaft of Trappe rock has very
lately been discovered, rising in the Lake
from one hundred and fifty 10 Two hun.
bred miles from land, and ascending
above the surface of the water. distance
Of not above four feet. What renders it
more extraordinary is. that it s,ands alone,
and all around it, so far as exam nations
have been made, DO Bottom has been
reached by any of the lead lines used on
the lake, and the point Of the rock itself
does not exceed sn urea Of mere than
six or seven feet square, and, SO far as
observations OF it have extended, il does
not appear TO enlarge 10 size as il de-
sends. II has already, he states, become
a source of alarm 10 the mariners who
navigate the lake, who take special care
in passing to give it as wide berth as
possible. II is too small, too remote and
dangerous TO admit OF light, and there
fore its removal has become matter Of
serious importance, and will doubtless
pertain TO the duty of Government. A
sDge blast from bore Of sufficient depth
would probably do il, but The surface OF
the rock being so near that Of the water,
and the space so narrow as 10 forbid any
regular Judgment for woTkmen, they
would have TO be attended constantly by
n vessel OF sufficient size to resist any
sudden storm of the lake, and would also
have 10 be kept constantly under way, as
no harbor or even bottom for an anchor is
within days sail.
The discoveries relate that the rock
appears to be place Of general resort
for the salmon trout of these lakes, as
they found them there ir almost incalcu.

stay, caught several barrels with no other
instrument than rod of iron, on one end
