Beautiful Experiment.

1t has long been known to physiolo>
gists, that certain coloring matters, if adj
minisrered 10 animals along with their
food, possessed the property Of entering
into the system, and tinging the bones
In this way the bones of swine having
been tinged, purple by madden, and in
stances are on record Of ether animals be-
ing similarly affected. No attempt, how
ever, was made 10 turn this beautiful dis
covery to account, until lately, when
Mons. Roulin speculate on what might
be the consequence of administering col
ored articles Of food to slkworms, Just be-
fore they began spinning their cocoons.-
His first experiments were conducted
with indigo, which he mixed with certain
portions ofmulberry leaves, serving worms
tor food. The result Of this experiment
was succesSiui-he obtained blue cocoons
Prosecuting Still further his experiments,
he sought a red coloring matter capable
of being eaten by silkworms without in
Jury resulting. He had some difficulty
TO find such coloring matter at first, but
eventually alighted on the Blgnonis
chief. Small portions of this paint hav-
ing been added TO the mulberry leaves,
the silk worms consumed the mixture,
and produced red>coloreG silk. In this
manner the experimental, who is still
prosecuting his researches, hopes to OBJ
tain silk as secreted BY the worm Of many
other colors.

Singular Phenomenon

Some months ago Mr.. Nicholas Flint,
OF Grea; Valley, in digging we'll, after
excavating to the depth Of about forty
feet and finding no water, determined TO
dig no deeper, as the space had already
become so small that he was afraid,
should he sink it deeper, that the
sides would fall in if be attempted 10 stone
it up He accordingly abandoned it,
throwing pIanks across the mouth TO pre-
vent accident, intending to fill it up again
when he had leisure. One day he heard
a singular noise, which seemed to pro-
ceed from the well, and on going to it he
discovered tina; II was caused by heavy
draft of air forcing itself up from the we'll
This continued for some days, when the
current of air became reversed, and there
was strong draft downwards, SO much
so that light substances brought near the
crevices in the. 2lanks, were instantly
drawn in. He then procured piece Of
pump log about two feet long, with an
aperture of two Inches in diameter, and
inserted this firmly in one Of the planks.
The air as il fprces itself into or out of
this tube, makesa roaring sound, which
can be heard fas.nearIy mile. In FACT,
this we'll seemynow to perform all the
breathing functions Of a huge pair of
lungs, although the inhalations and ex-
halIatons continue for a much longer
period than in any animal now known
as tits sometimes several days in draw
ing in its breatas and as long time in
forcing it ont. The boys in the neigh
! borhood often 'amuse themselves, while
exhatation is going on, by pulling their
+ caps over the end of the tube, 10 see them
thrown severat-feet into the air. Another
fact is. that the espiratory organs of this
breathing monster seem 10 be entirely
under the control Of the atmosphere SO
that in addition to It's other singulari,ies
II acts the double part Of thermometer and
barometer. For some hours preceding
change from lower-to- higher degree
Of lem perature, The Limitations grow less
and less until it is finally imperceptibIe !;
then the air commences rushing out-lhe
current growing stronger and stronger,
until the weather has become settled, af-
ter which It again subsidies to await
another depression of the mercury to
take i: another breath Who will elu-
