Vegetable Instinct.

If pan of water be placed within
six inches on either side of the stem Of
a pumpkin or vegetable marrow, it will
in the course of the night approach it.
and will be found in the morning with
one Of its leaves floating on the water
This experiment may be continued until
the plant begins to fruit. If prop be
placed within six inches of a young con-
vulsive or scarlet runner, it will find it
although it is shifted daily. II, after it
had twined some distance up the prop, it
be unwound and twined in the opposite
direction, it viii return to its original po-
sition. or die in the attempt, yet notwi,h-
standing, if two of these plants grow
near each other, and have no stake around
which they can entwine, one of them
will alter the direction of its spiral, and
they will twine around each other. Du-
hamal placed some kidney beans in a
cylinder of moi st earth; after a short
time they began to germinate, of course
sending the plume upwards to the light,
and the root down into the soil. After a
few days the cylinder was turned one
fourth round. and again and again this
was repeated until an entire revolution
had been completed. The beans were
then taken out of the earth, and it was
found that both the plume and the radi-
Gle had bent to accommodate themselves
10 every revolution, and the one in its
effort TO ascend perpendicularly, and the
other to descend, had formed perfect
spiral. But although the natural tcnden.

beneath be dry, and any damp substance
be above, the roots will ascend to reach

DREADFUL CASUALTY AND ExTRAoR.
DINARY PRESENCE or MIND.-One of
the most extraordinary instances of iniu-
ry accompanied by firmness and resolu-
luton that we have ever heard o., occur
red about two weeks ago in the vicinity
of Mechanicsburgh, about IA miles from
Springfield, I'll.
Mr.. Thomas Baker, brother of the
Hon. e. d. Baker, was driving a spir-
tied horse in the prairie, when he stop
ped to adjust something, the horse took
fright and started off. Mr.. Baker fell
forward of the wheels, and by some
means one leg was fastened between the
springs and axle, his body on the ground
In this position the frightened horse, at
full speed, carried him about four miles,
when he stopped. Mr.. Baker had still
presence of mind and strength enough to
disengage his limb, although many Of
his bones were broken and his whole
body mangled in a manner that battles
description.
With great effort he managed to crawl
to the horse and with his knife cut him
loose. Suffering intense agony, and
fearing that in his pain he might be in
duced TO take his own life, he threw a.
way the knife. In the most intense dis
tress from his injuries and thirst, he
continued on the ground for two days
and nights. By some casualty his um-
brella had been thrown near where he
lay; this he got hold of and occasionally
raised, hoping by it to attract attention to
him. During this time, with his pencil
he wrote in hymn book he had in his
pocket, brief account of what had
happened. On the morning of the third
day he was discovered by drover. and
relief secured. He fingered six days
longer when he died. Throughout his
sufierings were most intense, but his
presence of mind never forsook him.
He was about 80 years of age. Hi.
wife died a few months ago. He was
worthy and highly esteemed citizen.-
Mo. Republican.

The Seven MiIc Tunnel through
the Aims.

To give some idea of the boldncss
of this great undertaking, (says the
London Ueekty Times we may. in the
first place, state that in its progress the
tunnel must pass under some of the
most elevated crests of Mont Cenis-
one in particular, where there will be
four thousand, eight hundred and fifty
feet of mountain capped with eternal
glaciers, overhead at the middle of the
tunnel. so that not only will the work.
men and machinery in construction, and
the passengers and trains, in transit, be
buried to that depth in the heart of the
mountain, but all idea of shafts, either to
facilitate excavation, or TO promote ven-
tilation, must be out of the question:
The breath of life itself must be rcspir-
ed from either extremity, with artificial
aid, in shape of currents of fresh air
transmitted, and of foul withdrawn, by
mechanical appara tus ever at work, at
least during excavation, which is also
itself to be effected by machinery of a
new and simple nature, worked by wat
empower of mountain streams, whereby
the trains are also 10 be run through the
tunnel which ascends, from the northern
or Savoy side, at Modane, all the way
to its exit at Bardenneche, with a gra-
dient equal to nineteen in one thousand.
The machine, once presented to the rock
projects into it simultaneously four hori-
zontal series Of sixteen scalpels, work
ing in motion by the same water-power.
While these are at work, one vertical Sc
ries on the other side works simullane-
ously up and down; so that together they
cut four blocks on all sides, except on
the rock behind, from which they are
afterwards detached by hand. 1t has
been already aseertained that each of the
two machines, at the opposite end of the
tunnel, will excavate to the extent Of
twenty two feeta day, and it is estimated
that the whole excavation will be CON-
pleied in four years. The gallery 10 be
perforated by the machines will be thir-
