The Potatoe Rot.

DIR. L. w. Harris, the distinguished En-
tomologist, calls Mr.. Flanders theory the
" latest humbug concerning the potato pes
thence" DR.. Harris maintains that insects
have no concern or connection with the POI
tato disease. He says
As the potato rot has spread over Europe.
and prevailed to an alarming extent before
~ reached Amerlca.and as the disease found
here occurs with precisely the same symp-
toms and results as in Europe, it must wher-
ever and whenever it appears, have one
common, specific cause. If occasioned by
insects, then the insects causing it must be
OF the same kind, or species, in all regions
where the disease has extended. 1t would
be entirely unphilosoph g. contrary to all
analogy aud all experience, to attribute the
disease to one kind of insect in one coun-
try and TO an entirely different kind of in
sect IN another country; to aphldes in Eng
land, 10 black bugs in America. to LADY,
birds IN Massachusetts, and to the Baridius
rinOtdtuS, in Pennsylvania. 1t is a well
established fact that the insects of America
and of Europe are not identical, excepting
only in those few cases where some one spe-
cles of one country has been introduced by
the Intervention Of man into the other coun-
try. 1t has never been shown, and | think
will never be proved, that any one species
of insect, of sufficiently destructive powers
to prove extensively injurious to the potato
crop, is to be found alike on the potatoes of
Europe and of America.

SIR ISAAC NEWTON.

leyed that this boy would only become
buuger Of some kind, for surely the soul OF
learning was not IA him. But at the age OF
Twelve change was wrought IN the charac-
ter and fortune of the youth who had never
obtained a reward Of merit aud was regar-
ded by teacher and schoolmaster as an inie-
nor. AT this time an alteration took place
between this backward boy aud the one a
boye him in the class-whereupon the latter
gave him very unpleasant kick IN the sto-
mach Enough. The pride OF the boy was
raged-reyenge is sweet--but he was too
weak to cope with his opponent physically.
How then shall he be humbedl All, an

to surpass him in study. get above him IN

few days since, grave looking gentle
man in spectacles called and inquired if he
could see the proprietor Of the American

him confdentially aside, and with face of
solemn import began

common in the tropical ATTITUDES Of the in
terror of Africa. At first it is wholly aqua

fish, and may be seen sporting at the bot
tom of the water After certain time, il
undergoes a remarkable change in its whole
appearance. Like the ratilesnal1e, it sheds
It's skin, and assumes shape like a monkey,
with four limbs, two short and two long,
like those of the kangaroo; or more resem-
bling the OuraDg-outang, the semi-human
species, Of which tits by some supposed to
have been the progenitor, as it entirely loses
its tail aud from this time it is, like the
crocodile, amphibious, and possesses other
remarkable pecullartles. | succeeded in

which will take place in few weeks"
Is is possible Well, that is a curosi- |
ty, really; as much SO as the mermaid, said |
the proprietor of the Museum, in fidgets lest
1t should slip through his fingers.
More so, sir said the traveller for in
the mermaid the transformation is no more
than half completed. The arms are deyel-
oped, but the tail remains
'TIue-very true, sir. But what are
your terms ?
Well, sir, | care very little for the pro.
fit, but if YOU will prepare proper tank,
filled with Croton water, and kept sufficient /
ly warm,yor shall have this curious animal
