IN London in 1876. gives the following Gu.
rious paragraph under the head of "For.
eign advices:"
"On the 23d and 24ih Of last month an
experiment was made at Compeiyne. in
the presence Of the Viscount Laval. and
the principal persons Of the town, of n
machine invented by the Able de Mepth.
which was universally applauded. The
artist affixed his machine TO boat of 200
feet in length, which il was able to pull.
though full laden, without the assistance of
single horse, against the stream of the
river oyse, with greater swiftness than
could have been made with 16 horses. But
some laborers, and other interested persons.
in order to make the enterprise fail, threw
sand and stones down between the wheels,
which being clogged, their motion was sus-
pended for some minutes, so that the sue
cess OF the attempt was doubtful; but az
soon as the effect Of this mischief was dis.
covered, and the springs were disengaged,
the machine showed itself capable of Der.
forming what was expected, and of crown
ing the interchangeable inventor with honor. f."

krns.son of Inseea-.

Insects exhibit various passions, and these
are not only manifested in their actions, but
expressed by gestures and noises, no doubt
well understood by themselves. Thus,
numerous beetles, when alarmed, utter a
shrill cry, which has been compared to the
feeble chirp Of birds. The humble bee, If
attacked, will give vent to the harsh tones
OF anger; and the hive bee, under the same
circumstances, emits a shrill and peevish
sound, which becomes doubly sharp when it
flies at an enemy or intruder. A number
of these insects being once smoked out Of
their hive, the queen, with many OF her fol-
lowers, flew away; upon this the bees which
remained behind Immediately set forth a
most plaintive cry, which was succeeded
by cheerful humming when their sovereign
was again restored to them. The passion
of love, TOO, as well as fear. anger and re.
Joicing, seems, in insects, as in birds, 10 be
displayed in song. The grasshopper tribes
are particularly famed for these amorous
ditties, which are olIen so loud, monOto-
nous and dealening in warm countries. du-
ring the meridian heat, as to be productive
of any thing but pleasure. These sounds,
however, proceed only from the males the
females, fortunately, not being provided
with the necessary apparatus for producing
them.-ShaTPe's Magazine.
