Is IT INSTINCT Oh REAsON!-It is said
that the woodcock in New Jersey il build
ing its nest, this year, in open and moist
places; and old huntsmen predict in con-
sequence that the summer will be dry
one. There was time when science, or
what was called such, laughed at signs
Of this description as no better than .'old.
women's tales, but though 10 any of them
are still unreliable, larger observation
of nature has taught that animals have
an instinct, which not unfrequently be-
comes prophetic, as in this example
At last years meeting of the American
Association for the advancement of science
curious paper was read On this subject
by Mr. n. b. Thomas, of Cincinnati, VIII
had for several years studied the habits
of animals in reference to the indications
which they might afford respecting the
weather. He showed that birds, If the
season was to be a windy or wet one,
built their nests in sheltt red place, !; tbut
lift was to be dry, in localities more ex-
posed; that certain kinds of snails always
came out, and crept up THE limbs of trees
several days before rain: and that locusts,
wasps, and other insects were invariably
to be found under leaves, and in the hol-
low trunks Of trees, hours before a storm
set in. The sagacity thus displayed, if
We may call it such, seems to put the
higher reason of man to shame. In vain
do our most expert s0rdns endeavor to
predict the character of an approaching
season, or even TO foretell few days in
advance, the condition Of the weather.
The woodcock that unerringly fixes its
nest in the spot best suited for the coming
summer, or the snail whose tubercles be-
gin to grow ten days before the rain they
are preparing TO receive, appear, at first
sight. to surpass the more developed men.
But the inferiority of these lower animals
is in the quality of their endowments
rather than in the quantity; they have .
single faculty in most extraordinary de-
gree, while man has, as it were, faculties
almost infinite. In thus adapting each
organization to it's special position, the
wisdom of the Creator is forcibly exhib.
tied.
