SIR ROBERT PEEL. It is believed IN
England; that Sir Robert Peel fell from

stroke Of apoplexy. He was observed
to falter and reel, by one OF the ladies'
whom he met just after he had passed

the horse he rode was not vicious, nor
does it seem that he was observed to
plunge so violently as to dislodge so

Scales for weighing Grain.

A valuable machine for weighing and meas
uring grain is thus described by the ST. Louis
Republican," One Of the most convenient and
accurate machines we have seen to weigh
wheat or any kind of grain has been vented
by Mr.. w. H. T. Bramble, of Lafayette, Ind.
aud patented by him on the 7th of May, 1850,
A model is now exhibiting by Mr.. lnsley, at
the Virginia hotel in this city. We have mol
suficien, familiarity with the construction Of
the scales to aliempt description at this time,
but may say from what we have seen, that lis
construction and the principle upon which j,
acts, is perfectly simple Once seen, the won
der is tha, it was no. before invented. To
warehouse men, millers, and those engaged IN
the buying and selling Of grain it seems to US
TO be of grea, value. By very simple, yet
accurate arrangement, any amount of grain may
be received, weighed, and the account kept
per bushel, and The total added up by dial
plates on one end of the scales. In this it dis
penses with the use of talles and all accoun,
keeping. If a certain quantity Of wheat Is to
be delivered, the machine is slightly shifted,
the index set at the other end to measure the
quantity required, and when that passes through
il il stops. But its greatest value is 10 mllers,
who have 10 trust TO other men TO attend The
f" run" BY placing it over the hopper he
may al all times ascertain precisely how much

Tee, any errors on the par, Of his workmen or
machinery. |, is Of very cheap construction
Mr.. lnsley is here TO sell rights TO States,
counties, or individuals only. The model will
be exhibited in The Exchange, and we COM
mend it to the attention OF our grain merchants,
millers, etc.

The Interior of Africa.

Bancroft, an intelligent yoyager, has, years
ago, dissipated the delusion. that the interior
Of Africa is a" deser, waste" He has shown
that j, is accessible TO navigation and trade
that The climate is as healthy as that OF the
tropics generally ; ,ha. there are regions ol
beautiful and fertile country, affording oppor'
,uni,ies for legitimate commerce OF indefinite
extension. This adventurous traveller explored
the river Niger within forty miles Of TImbuc'
TOO. He has thrown light on thousands ol
miles Of richly fertile and wooded country, wa.
tered by that grea, stream: and upon The ivory,
vegetable lallow, pepers, indigo, cotton, wool.
palm oil, dye woods, timber woods, skins, and
great variety Of produce, which invite the
trade. To carry on this trade in the vessels
which navigate The river, il is necessary TO
have black crews. The " London Spector'
remarks I" OF course the free blacks, educated
in the West India trade, will become useful
workmen in penetrating the native land OF their
race. We must depend, a. least for generations
TO come, on the black race TO supply the bulk
of The crews" For our own part, We do not
see Why our own country should not compete
with Britain for the rich trade of Africa. NOT
do we know any more efficient method OF CON-
petition than the proposed line OF steamers

Cows Holding their MILK. i.

A correspondent of the American AgricuIturist
states, that he had cow that would not give
down her milk and, as he had heard that putting
a weight on the back of a cow would make her
give down her milk, he laid bushel Of grain on
her back, but without effect. He then put his ell
bows on the centre of her back, and bore on till
her back became followed, and then she gave
down her milk freely.
10 the American Veterinarian, we remark that
the holding up Of milk is done by effort of the
cow, of which she will tire after awhile and if
person will deal gently with a cow, and sit down
and perform the usual operation Of milking per-
severing steadily, the milk will flow freely in a
short time. The discovery of this simple and
gentle method was made by boy only nine years
ofage, who could by mild means milk the most
refractory cows, which strong men had tried in
vain to subdue.

How Coal was Made. ea

| Geology has proved that, at one period, there
existed an enormously abundant land vegetations,
the ruins or rubbish of which, carried into seas,
ard there sunk to the bottom, and afterward, COW
cred over by sand and mud beds, became the sub
stance which We now recognize as coal. This
was natural transaction of vast consequence to
u.s. seeing how much utility we find in coal, both
for warming our dwellings and for various manu-
features, as well as the production Of steam, by
which so great mechanical power is generated.
1t may naturally excite surprise that the vegeta-
bic remains should have so completely changed
their apparent character, and become black. But
this can be explained by chemistry; and part of
the marvel becomes clear to the simplest UNDER
standing when we recall the familiar fact, that
damp hay, thrown closely into heap, gives out
heat, and becomes of dark color. When veg
etable mass is excluded from the air, and subjected
to great pressure, a bituminous fermentation is
produced, and the result is the mineral COAL which
is Of various characters, according as the mass
has been originally interminged with sand, clay
or other earthly impurities. On account of the
change effected by naturalization, it is difficult to
detect in coal the traces of vegetable structure
but these can be made clear in all except the high
ly bituminous caking coal, by cutting or polishing
it down into thin transparent slices, when the mi
crocope shows the fbres and cells very plainly.
From distinct isolated specimens found in the
sandstones amidst the coal beds, we discover the
nature of the plants of this era. They are almost
all OF simple cellular structure, and such ex-
isl with in small forms, (horse tails club mosses
and ferns), but advanced to enormous magnitude.
The species are all along since extinct. The
vegetation generally is such now grows in clus-
tiers of tropical islands; but it must have been the
result of high temperature obtained otherwise
than that of the tropical regions now is. for the
coal strata are found in the temperate, and even
the polar regions. THE conclusion, therefore, to
which most geologists have arrived is, that the
earth, originally an incandecent or highly heated
mass, was gradually cooled down until in the Car
bonferous period it fostered growth of terrestri
al vegetation all over its surface, to which the ex-
isting junges of the tropics are mere barrenness
in comparison. This high and uniform tempera
ture, combined with a greater proportion of car
bonc acid gas in the manufacture, would not on
ly sustain gigantic and prolific vegetation, but
would also create denser vapors, showers and
rains; and these again gigantic rivers, periodical
inundations, and deltas. Thus, all the conditions
for extensive deposits of wood in estuaries would
arise from this high temperature; and every cir
cumstance connected with the coal measures
points to such conditions.

ANOTHER TRIUMPH.-Shoriy after the ar

where apartments were provided for her there
was very suberior knocking bird, whose pow
ers OF mimicry and song were such that he had
sllenced both the feather and feline circles
there, canary birds and cats giving up all at
tempts TO outmac ch him in their respective notes.
He was moved into the same room with Jenny
who was charmed with him. After finishing
one of her simple songs, "Bob'' tuned his pipes
and gave out very fair imitation. The ad.
miralion of Jenny was unbounded she tried
him in snatch from the celebrated "cavatina' -

leaps from perch to perch, his tail in &C.
stacy, filled his ches. again, and run over all
those beautiful notes as accurately as if they
were the mere echo Of the thrilling notes Of Jen-
ny. Mr.. Barnum, who stood by, became a.
larmed. He knew the owner of the bird had
too long pocket TO admit Of a possible hope
OF his willingness TO part with him, or even en-
ter into ian engagement" on any terms, and
here was bird equal TO Jenny. Jenny, how

Bob" listened, sprang TO his water jar, and
took sip; listened again, shook his feathers
and began. For note or two he succeeded
admirably; but when he came TO that point where
the voice Of Jenny leaves The earth and turns
somerset in the clouds, poor '' Bob" fallered
he was seen TO struggle hard reeled, and fel
dead from his perch in a lock jaw.

pumping a Lake Dry.

DR.. J. v C. Smith, the editor of the Boston
Medical Surgical Journal, who is now on visit
to Europe, gives an interesting description, in his
manner in which the lake of HARLEM is being
drained by steam engines and its water sent to the
sea:
"Six miles from Amsterdam is the inland lake
of Harlem, "a mile long by ii in width, which,
three hundred years ago was found to be percep-
tbly increasing by shooting its waters further and
further, and covering up the land threatening the
first commercial port of the realm with destruction
by flowing in upon its bank Various schemes,
at that remote epoch, were devised by able coun-
sellors to stay the threatening danger. Three
Ouch Engineers, of acknowledged ability, propos-
ed draining off the water, first raising it by wind
mills. They are entitled to remembrance, from
ver;ing animpendlng calamity. Seven years since,
delay being no longer safe, canal was dug a
round the whole circumference of the lake, aver
aging 200 feet in width by 10 deep.
These monster steam engines are housed on the
sides of the lake, some six or eight miles apart
each moving eight monstrous pumps. All the ps-
tons are raised at once, at every revolution Of the
machinery, raising $4,000 gallons of water which
is empted into the canal whence it is FASTENED
on by fourth engine faster than it would othor-
wise move to the Zuvder Zee, and thus it reaches
the sea Is miles distant. In April, l649, the
pumps worked by three Of the migh,est steam en-
gines perhaps ever constructed were set in motion
and up TO this date, July 25th 1850 have lowered
the contents of the lake seven feet BY next April
it is anticipated that the bottom will be fairly ex-
posed, and all the water conveyed away from its
ancient basin. All that is executed at the ex-
pense of government. ..

Fowls may be fattened in four or FIVE days, by
the following process Set some rice over the FIRE
with skinned milk as much only as will serve
one day. Let 1t boil ill the rice is swelled out :;
add teaspoonful of sugar. Feed them four or
FIVE times day in pans, and give them as much
taken that they have nothing sour given them, as
that prevents their fattening. Give them, clean
,0ater or the milk from the rice to drink BY this
method the flesh will have clear whiteness and
rice goes further than barley meal, it will be
found more economical

The Spider.

The intelligence and power evinced by the spi-
der in securing its prey has often attracted aten'
tion; but we have seldom have of SO remarkable a
display of these faculties as we witnessed short
time since. A small-seized spider had made his
web on the under side of table. Early one
morning: cockroach was noticed on the floor, di
rectly under the web, and on approaching to take
it away, it was discovered that the spider had
thrown line around one of its legs and while the
observer was looking a, it, the spider came down
and lassOed the opposite leg of the cockroach. The
spider then went up to his web, but instantly came
down and fastened line to another leg, and con-
tinued for several minutes darting and fastening
lines to different parts of the bodies of his victim.
The struggles of the cockroach Though full
grown one] were unavaing to effect his escape
he could not break his bonds, and his efforts
seemed only to entangle him the more. AS his
struggles became more and more feeble the spi-
der threw his lines more thickly around him and
when he had become nearly exhausted, the spider
proceeded to raise him from the floor. This he
did by raising one end at time. He at first
raised the head and forward part Of the body
ly half inch then raised the other end; and SO
continued to work, till the cockroach was elevated
FIVE or six inches from the floor. Thus {" hung in
chains," the victim was left to die. The spider
was not more than tenth the weight of his prey
