am Animals Gan Talk.

At an annual meeting of the Association
for the Advancement of Science, held in
Boston, it was shown that after all, there
are no dumb beastsi Dr. Gibson read a
very interesting paper on the language OF
animals. He said that every variety of ami
mated being possesses some means Of in
telligible communication. Each creature, by
sounds or signs of correspondents. has q
language understood by its own kind;
and sometimes learnt by others. Emotions
of caution. affection or fear-of Joy, graft
tude and grief-are disclosed by simple
tones of voice, or by impressive gestures
to signslize feelings strictly comprehended
and often answered. Insects and birds,
fish and beasts thus express themselves in
distinct languages, signed. spoken and sung
seen, heard and felt. He illustrated his
theory by stating familiar facts relative te
domestic animals Scientific Anserscan.

Extension of Suffrage to Women.

EXTENSION OF Sunrage TO women.
G. W. Curtis got off the following on
this subject in recent lecture in in New
York:
I do not suppose if the polls were opened
tomorrow many but the ignorant women
would avail themselves of it. They would
do as the men do now. You have to look on
the cloth of the parlors and not on
the slime of the grog shops for the cause OF
your bad government. When voted for Pres
ident, entered a line with some ten or twenty
men, and in ten minutes had done all could
to make Mr.. Fremont President. Tap
p1ause.l It is improper for woman to
spend half an hour at the polls and highly
proper to be crowded for hours into lecture
room or church. to hear prurient poems in
a play or see the pretty spectacles of play?
Ij1nodest for a woman to drop ballot in a
box: bit quite modest and lady like to whirl
in = polka in the arms of man she never
saw before. snd have her cheek famed by
his tipsy breath? That there are children
now in some cities Sho viii one day go with
their wives to the ballot box as they do now
to the theater or lyceum, Just as firmly be-
lieve as do that women are qcIte as well IN
formed as the men on political SUBJ jeets.

How Gold Laee ia Made.

In an interesting description of the meth
cd of manufacturing gold lace, an exchange
pointedly says that gold lace is not gold lace;
It does not deserve this title, for the gold is
applied as surface to silver. It is not
even silver lace; for the silver is applied to
9 foundation of silk. The silken threads
for making this material are wound around
with gold wire so thickly as to conceal the
silk. The making of this gold wire is one
of the most singular mechanical operations
imaginable. In the first place, the refner
prepares solid rod of silver about an inch
in thickness; he heats this rod, applies up
on the surface coating of gold leaf. bur-
nishes this downs. applies another coating,
Furnishes this down, aud so on, until the
gold is about one-hundreth part the thick
ness Of the silver. Then the rod is sub
jected TO train of processes which brings
it down to the state of fine wire, and it is
passed through holes in steel plate, less
ened step by step in diameter. The gold
never deserts the silver, but sdheres close
j. to it, and shares I'll its mutations. 1t is
one-hundredth part the thickness of the sill
yer at the beginning, and it maintains the
same ratio to the end. AS 10 the thinnness
to which the gold-coated rod of silver can
be brought, the limit depends on the deli
caey of human skill; but the most remark
able example ever known was brought for
ward by DIR. Wollaston. This was an ex-
ample of solid gold wire, entirely free from
silver. He procured small rod of silver,
bored hole through it from end to end,
and inserted in this hole the smallest gold
wire he could procure. He subjected the
silver to the usual wire drawing process,
until he had brought it to the finest attain
