The pleasure arising from seeing others
laugh is common cause of laughter, 80 com
mon that it is difficult to refrain, even with
out knowing the cause Of their mirth.
Il was,' says Goldsmith, by nature on ad-
mirer Of happy human faces, and seldom.
if ever, enter merry party without shar-
ing the mirth. Walking some time since ia
Lincoln's Iun Fields, / followed n party Of
chimney sweepers. who. Mt the turning un.
der the gateway, suddenly met three Chi
nese, apparently just srrived in London.
1t was clear they had never before seen
chimney sweepers, and it seemed that the
chimney sweepers had never till that mo-
ment seen such figures as the Chinese.
Each party. and every spectator, was in Q
convulsion of laughter
A very good story. bnt we are not aware
that any Chinese ever visited London in
Goldsmith's time.

A PEEP FOR THE PoPULAcE.-The Sea-
ent,fc American gives very simple mode
of examining the satellites of the planet
Jupiter, tho means usei being so COMMON as
to he within the reach of all. 1t says:
Every person can view them by reflsc.
ton, tsing common looking, glass for the
purpose. On Il clear night take n looking
glass, and either at the window or out OF
doors so place il as to receive the impression
of the planet. BY n close examination Of
the planet as reflected in the glass. all its
satellites will also be observed. provided
none Of them arr eclipsed. IL is rather re-
markable, however, that although these sa-
telites can thus be seen, while they cannot
be seen by the naked eye, that neither Venus
nor the moon can be seen 50 distinctly by re.
hections rs they can be by observing them
with the naked eye

PHENOMENON AT SEA.--The passengers
and crew of the ship Pera, from Southamp-
ton, when approaching Alexandria. some
time since. witnessed most extraordinary
phenomenon from on board other At noon
day, the sun became almost invisible, and q
dense fog obscured the armament; the ship
with her spars and rigging were covered
with fine powder, which entered the ears
and mouths Of the passengers, causing the
greatest Inconvenience. The utmost alarm
Was felt on board, and some dire calamity
was apprehended. The matches were bat
tened down, and Capt. Soy. the commander
of the packet, turned his head and ran of
to sea again. During the time Of this al.
most darkness the wind olsw from the south,
and the sea was frightfully disturbed AL
though the Pera proceeded forty OF fifty
miles out to sea again, still the dense fog pre-.
vailed far to seaward, and towards the coast
darkness literally overspread the land Of
Egypt,
This phenomenon lasted for eight hours.
when the fog cleared away. the wind lulled,
and the sea went down. This extraordinary
appearance was owing to what is called the
khampseen, or sand storm, and its extend.
ing so far to sea is n most unusual circum.
stance. From the direction If the wind the
khampseen must have originated in the
Great Sahara, II raises the sand there in
uses which move in spiral figure, and
the heavy particles of sand soon drop to the
earth, while the smaller ones, or pulverized
sand is carried away to a distance. The
people on board the Pera found afterwards
the khampseen ha blown down trees, turn.
ell over railway carriages. and forced ctttle
into the canal between Alex andria and
Cairo.
