New METHOD OF SHOWING THE
EARTH's RoTATIoN.-Prof. Strong, of
Rutgers College, has just put in opera
ton new continuance for proving the
rotation Of the earth, which puts the
French pendulum mode entirely in the
shade. Professor Strong has constructed
a wooden wheel six feet in diameter, bu,
very slight indeed, its weight being only
two pounds. The wheel is supported
horizontally, the hub resting on a steel
needle, in the same manner that a COM
pass is supported. The needle fits into a
glass socket. Placed in room free from
currents of air and all disturbance, the
m o,ion of the earth around the wheel is
pcrceptible, the wheel apparently perfor-
ming the revolution in the proper num>
Der of hours. Ii is proper to state that
no motion is externally communicated to
the wheel. This is the latest perpetual
motion we have heard of. By this wheel,
it is said, the latitude can at all times be
correctly ascertained. The experiment
is not confined to wheel of such large
dimensions, but may be realized with
smaller ones. The experiments will,
probably, soon be tested at the Washing.

Singular Circumstance.

A gentleman in Shrewsbury, a shor,
time since, found in his barn nest, con
tanning six rats. With the hereditary
luminosity of his kind against the rat
species, he took the nest to the lair Of a
favorite cat-also blessed with numerous
progeny, and there left the ratklns to the
tender mercies of Madam Puss, by whom
he supposed they would be devoured as
ti,.bits. Strange to relate-Puss did not
cot them, but, after smelling aud turn
ing over with her paws few times, took
them in her mouth, and conveyed them
one by one-into her box, carefully de.
posting them by the side of her own
blind squeaers, where they have ever
since remained, being now nearly full
grown, having been nursed and reared by
the cat, who displays towards them the
same careful solicitude manifested for her
Legitimate offspring. What is still more
strange, is, that the kittens place the
young rats upon perfect equality with
themselves, never displaying the least
disposition TO moles: them. Unfortunate
ly, three of them were destroyed by
neighboring Grimalkn who spied them
one day, playing together. The remain,
ing three are still TO be seen on good
terms with their two adopted relations,
and are perfectly tame and tractable.-

SNAKES ANrlPATHY TO FIRE.-There
is in Brazil very common poisonous
snake, the Smucucu, respecting which
the La,utos and Sertanejos, the inhabi-
tants of the interior, relate the following
facts: They say that such is the antipa-
thy of this reptile to fire. that when fires
are made in clearing away ofwoods, they
rush into it, scattering it with their tails
till it is extingushed, even becoming
half roasted in the attempt; and that when
an individual is passing at might with a
torch, they pass and repass him, lashing
him with their tails till he drops it, and
the snake is Immediately found closely
coiled round the ex,inguisaed torch
The greatest enemy of this snake is an
immense Lacertian, five and six feet loug,
the Tiju-acu (the great lizard, its name
in the LIngoa geraD. 1t is said, that
when the snake succeeds in ef1ecting a
bite, the lizard PUSHES into the wood, eats
some herb, and returns to the conflict
which almost invariably terminates in its
favor.-[ Notes and Queries.

tree which his father had forbidden HIM to
touch,
"You need not be afraid,' said one o.

that he would not hurt YOU"
"That is the very reason" replied the
