ANIMATED CLOCKS,

In China the inhabitants of the provinces
turn their cats to a most useful purpose, if we
may believe the following story, which is relat-
ed by M. Hue, in his Travels in China
One day, when we went to pay visit to some
families of Chinese Christian peasants, we met,
near u farm, q young lad, who was taking a
buffalo to Craze along our path. We asked
him carelessly, as we passed, whether it was
yet noon. The child raised his head to look at
the sun, but it was hidden behind thick clouds,
and he could read no answer there. The sky
is cloudy" said he, "but wait a moment; =
and with these words he ran towards the farm,
and came back few minutes afterwards with q
cat in his arms. :" Look here" said he, " it is
not noon yeti" and he showed us the cats eyes
by pushing up the lids with his hands We
looked at the child with surprise, but he was
evidently in earnest; and the cat, though aston.
ished, aud not much pleased at the experiment
made upon her eyes, behaved with most exem
plary complaisance. Every WE'LL" said We
' thank you" and he then let 60 the cat, VII,

made her escape pretty quickly, and we cont;u-
ued on our route. To say the truth, we had
not at all understood the proceeding but we
did not.wish to question the little pagan. lext
ne should find out that we were Europeans bv
birth.
AS soon as ever we reached the farm, howey-
er, we made haste to ask our christians vbetbev
they could tell the clock by looking into the
cats eyes. They seemed surprised at the ques-
ton; but as there was no danger in confessinr
TO them our ignorance Of the properties of the
cats eyes, we related what had just taken place.
That was all that was necessaey; our complais-
ant neophlytes immediately gave chase to all
the cats in the neighbhohood. They brought
US three or four; and explained in what man
ner they might be made use Of for watches :.
They pointed out that the pupil os their ewes
went on constantly growing narrower mil
twelve O'Clock, when they beeanse IKE fine
line, as thin as hair, drawn perpendicular
across the eye, and that after twelve the dila-
tion recommended When we had attentiyeIv
examined the eyesof all the cats at our disposal,
we concluded that it was past noon, as all the
eyes perfectly agreed upon this point, We
have had some hesitation in speaking of this
Chinese discovery, as it may, doubtless, tend to
lnlure the interests of the clock-making trade,
and interfere with the sale of watches but all
considerations must give way to the spirit Of
progress. All important discoveries tend in the
first instance to injure private interests and
we hope, nevertheless, that watches will con-
tinue to be made, because, among the unmber
of persons who may wish to know the hour,
there will, most likely, be some who will not
give themselves the trouble to run after the cat
or who may fear some danger to their own. eyes
from too close examination of hers.

SCIENTIFIC ITEMS.

Ice A CARRIER the lapse of centuries the
ice of the Baltic has modified to no unimportant
extent its geological condition In the north
ern parts of the sea, where the water is least
saline, the surface is frozen to the depth of five
or six feet Huge stones at the bottom, and the
dislocated tops of rocks, are hence imbedded in
the CONCEALED mass. Thus grasped by the strong
hand of winter, they are raised up when the
water rises in spring from the melting Of the
snow, and borne off by floating ice islands, to
be finally lodged in a different site. In SINH
lar manner, fragments upon the surface of the
ice, detached from cliffs alongshore, undergo
change of place. There are some curious and
we'll authenticated instances of this transport
ing process. Professor Won Baer, in commu-
nication to the Academy Of st. Petersburg,
mentions block of granite, weighing million
of pounds, which was carried by ice, during
the winter of 1878, from Finland to the island
of Hogland; and two other blocks were remo7-
bv hacked ice on the south coast Of Finland,
about the year 1906 and 1914, according to the
testimony Of the pilots and inhabitants. AT
Memel, in 1921, when the Niemen broke up, q
mass of ice descended the stream and was thrown
ashore, bearing in its bosom a triangular piece
of granite, about yard in diameter, resembling
the red granite of Finland. A more singular
and kin lred circumstance is related by Dr. For
chammer of Copenhagen. In the year 1907
he states, cat the time of the bombardment o
the Danish feet, an English soopof war, riding
at anchoi in the roads at Copenhagen, blew up
