The Elephants Trunk,

According to Cuvier, the number of
muscles in an elephants trunk, amounts
TO forty thousand, all of which are under
the will, and it is to those that the probos-
els of the animal owes its hexibility. 1t
can be protruded or contracted al pleas.
ure, raised up or turned TO either side,
coiled round on itself or twined around any
object. With this instrument the ele-
phant collects the heritage on which he
feeds and puts 1t iRto his mouth; with it
he strips the trees of their branches, or
grosps his enemy and dashes him to the
ground. But this admirable organ is not
only adapted for -seizing or holding sub
stances of magnitude, it is also capable of
plucking a single leaf, or of picking upa
straw from the floor. The orifCes Of the
canals Of the extremely are encircled by
a projecting margin, produced anteriorly
into fnger-hke process endowed with a
high degree of sensibility and exceeding
fexibility. 1t is at once a finger for grasp
ing and feeIer; the division between
the two nasal orifices or their elevated
sides, serves as point against which to
press; and thus it can pick up or hold a
small coin, bit of biscuit, or any trifing
thing, with the greatest ease.-.4nimaI

Instinct and Talent,

All the wonderful instincts of animals,
which, in my humble opinion, are proved
beyond doubt, and the belief in which
has not decreased with the increase Of
science and investigation-all these in
stincts are given them only for the COM
blnatiOn or preservation of the species
If they had not this instinct they would
be swept from the face of the earth in
an instant. The bee, that understands
architecture so well, is as stupid as a
pebble-stone out of his own particular
business of making honey. And with all
his talents, he only exists that boys may
eat his labors and poets sing them. a
peasant girl of ten years old, puts the
whole republic to death with a little
smoke; their palaces are turned into
candles, and every Clergyman's wife
makes mead wine of the honey; and
there is an end of the glory and wisdom
of the bees! Whereas, man has talents
that have no sort of reference to his ex-
istence, and without which his species
might remain upon earth in the same
safety as if they had them not. The
bee works at that particular angle which
saves most time and labor, and the boast
ed edifce he is constructing is only for
his egg; but Somerset House and BIen-
helm, and the Louvre, have nothing to do
with breeding. Epic poems, and Apollo
Belvideres, and Venus de Medicis, have
nothing to do with living and eating. We
might have discovered pignuts without
the Royal Society, and gathered acorns
without reasoning about curves of the
ninth order. The immense superfiuity
of talent given to man, which has no
bearing upon the animal life, which has
nothing to DO with the mere preservation
of existence, is the very Distinguishing
circumstance in this comparison. There
is no other animal but man, to whom
mind appears to be given for any other
purpose than the preservation Of the
body.

4 MNIn'S Eyes.

What | have always most admired in a
mole IS its eyes. This animal occasion
ally visiting the surface, and wanting,
for its safety and direction, to be inform
ed when 1t does so, or when it approach
es 1t, perception Of light was necessary.
l do not know that the clearness of sight
depends at all upon the size of the or
gan. WHAT'S gained by the largeness,
or prominence of the globe of the eve,
is width in the field of vision. Such a
capacity would be of no use to an animal
which was to seek It's food in the dark.
The mole did not want to look about It !;
nor would large advanced eye have been
easily defended from the annoyance to
which the life of the animal is constant
Iy exposed. How indeed was the mole,
working its way under ground, 10 guard
its eyes at all In order to meet this diff
fculty, the eyes are made scarcely larger
than the head of a corking- pin; and these
minute globules are sunk so deply in the
skull and lie so sheltered within the vel
vet Of It's covering, as that any Contrac-
ton of what may be called the eyebrow
not only closes up the apertures which
lead to the eyes, but presents a cushion as
1t were to any sharp or protruding sub
stance which might push against them.
This aperture, even in its ordinary state
is like a pin-hole in a piece Of velvet
scarcely pervious to loose particles Of
earth-Paley

AFtCSiau Wells i'm Paris.

The French Government IS boring an
Artesian Well at Paris, in the suburbs,
between the octOrol wall and the inner
line of Notifications. This well, which
had reached, six months ago, to the depth
of l,742 feet, has been arrested ever
since in its progress, first by derange-
ment of the boring machine, and subse-
quently by caving in of certain parts
composed of sand strata. The machine
ry has been repaired, and a slide wall has
been dug to-enable the workmen to guard
against future caving in of the sand stra-
ia, which, fortunately, are not at a great
Npth. The work has been resumed.
and, according to the calculation of the
engineers, water Will be found at less
than hundred feet. The object of this
well Is 10 obtain water as we'll for domes-
tic purposes as for aiding in the supply of
the artificial lakes of the Bois de Bon
logne, adjacent; but as it is certain that
the water Will not be fit for household
use IN the condition in which it comes to
the surface, sort of trellis work iron
monument is TO be placed over it, seven
ty-fye feet high. The water will be al
lowed to rush to the top of this iron mon
ument through 4 tube in the center, and
then turning Will fall through the trellis-
work on the outside, and be divided into
fine spray. In this manner the water
will be thoroughly oxygenized by the at
moSphere, and rendered fit for use.

The British Navy,

The Liverpool Times says: At pres
ent there are thirty-six steamships Of
the aggregate of 1850 horse power.
and mounting ! 1850 guns, building in the
royal dock-yarns. OF these vessels l3
are ships of-the-Iine. There are two
three-deckers the Prince of Wales.
mounting l3l guns, and the Victoria,
mounting l20 guns. The rest of the
shipS-of-the-line are two-deckers of 50,
80. and 100 guns. There are nine frig-
ateS on the stocks, each of which will
mount 80 guns, and they Will have screw
propellers, varying in power from four
hundred to eight hundred horsepower.
Two experimental frigates, mounting 26
guns each, and of 1000 horsepower,
are also building. There are four cor
vettes, mounting - guns each, and eight
sioops, SC, chiefly mounting ~ to l6
guns, and all steam-propeIled. The cost
Of these ships, with ordnance and fittings
will be about twenty millions of dollars.
The opinion used to be that the estimate
for building and equipping a man-of-wal
was equal to $4,000 per gun, but tha
did not include steam. All the vessel:
alluded to are steamers, aud it therefore
appears that the introduction Of steam
doubles the cost.

Government Progress,

The Knickerbocker INDUCES in the
following lively hit at Uncle Samuel's
ship-buIldIng abilities:
"SpurgeOn sometimes comes out with
good thing. Brethren" said he, '.if
God had referred the Ark to a committee
on naval affairs, it's my opinion it would
not have been built yeti" Spurgeon re-
fers to matters anI things in Great Brit
ain, yet the remark IS equally appplica-
hle to onaval matters in this country. The
Naval Bureau were twenty-three years
building the frigate Sabine when they
finished her deck it was discovered that
her keel was so rotten that she would
have to be rebuilt. Geo. Steers built the
steam frigate Niagara in eighteen months,
and yet the Niagara is four times as big
as the Sabine. The Iine-of- battle ship
Pennsylvania cost 81 100000. She was
on the stocks ten years. When launch
ed she proved unseaworthy, and came
near being wrecked in getting from Phil
adelphia to Norfolk. She has never been

institution, that Naval Bureau. For vast

body Of old fossils TO be found in this

irving 10 The Basic.

\ Hibernian, fresh from the green isle,
having sufficient means to provide him
self with a horse and cart-the latter a
kind he probably never saw before
went to work on a public road.
Being directed TO move a pile of stones
near by, and deposit them in a gully at
the side Of the road, he loaded his cart,
drove to to the place, and had nearly fin
ished unloading his cart by hand when
the boss" told him that was not the way,
he must tilt or dump his load at once.
Paddy replied he would know better
next time.
After loading again, he drove to the
chasm, put his shoulder to the hub Of the
wheel, and upset the horse cart and al
into the gully.
Scratching his head, and looking doubt
fully at his struggling horse below him
he observed that Ii was a mighty expe
ditious way, but, begora, It must be very
trying to the haste :"

The Tomato.

DR. Bennett, a professor Of celebrity,
considers It an invaluable article Of diet,
and ascribes to it very important medical
properties:
l. That the Tomato is one Of the
most powerful aperients of the Materi
Nedica, and that in all those affections Of
the liver and organs where calomel is In
dicated, it IS probably the most effective
and least hurtful remedial agent known
to the profession.
2. That a chemical extract will be OBJ
tanned from it which will altogether ST.
percede the use Of calomel in the cure Of
disease.
3. That he has successfully treated di-
arrhGa with this article alone.
4. That when used as an article of di-
ct, it is almost a sovereign remedy for
dyspepsia and Indigestion.
). That persons arriving from the
North or East to the South or West
should by all means make use Of II as an
aliment as i would in that event save the
danger attendant upon those violent billi-
Gus attacks to which all unaCcIiInated per-
/ sons are liable.
6. That the citizens in ordinary should
make use Of It either raw, cooked or in
the form Of catsup, with their daily food
as it is the most healthy article IN the
nlateria lmeneariu.

sermon recently delivered by a professor
at Harvard University, and asks if the
students are safe when exposed to such
language:
Viewing the subject from the esoter-
ic standpoint Of Christian exegetecial
analysis, agglutimating the pOlsyn.hetical
ectoblast of homogenius asceusm, we per-
ceive at once the obsolute individuality Of

How TO Dry RhUbaFb.

MEssRs EDIroRs': Asa slight equiVa-
lent for the many hints CLEANED from the
pages Of your journal, which has been
family paper since its first publication,
propose to answer the inquiry of one Of
your correspondents concerning rhubarb,
In answer there is nothing very peculi-
ar in respect to the drying of this plant,
or preserving for use. | have seen
printed recommendation, to peel the foot
stalks as for common use, and then string
ing them as slices of pumpkin are some
times served, to expose them to the sun
in clear weather until dry. l have my
self practiced a method which appears
more simple, and at the same time more
economical, which is this: to cut the foot
stalks into pieces about one inch long,
and exposing them upon dishes or driers,
as may be convenient, in the open air to
the sun, or in a dry house, with temper
ature too low to scald. | endeavor to
hasten as much as possible the process Of
drying, in order that the pieces may not
be soIIed by insects, or the flavor impair
ed by mould or partial decay on the sur
face, while but little of the juice in the
stalk has been eraporatCd. | prefer the
month of September for drying this plant
in the open air, both because continued
fair weather may then be expected, and
insects are less numerous. When fully
dried, rhubarb may be kept in bags or
boxes, as dried peaches or apples, and re-
quires little more time to sCald it than
when green, but is easily prepared for
use. If any quantity be put in kettle
with water in excess, and the mass boiled
down to 4 proper consistency, and sweet
ened to taste, 1t is ready for use, and In
pies, or with cream, gives more Of the
flavor Of the same article cooked fresh
from the garden, than does dried prep
aration of anything know.

A Firm Religious Belief.

| envy no quality Of the mind or in
teIIect in others, said Sir Humphrey Da-
Wy, be 1t genius, power, Wit or fancy but
if | could choose what would be the most
delightful, and | believe most useful to
me, | should prefer 4 firm religious be-
lief to any other blessing; for il makes a
life discipline of goodness. creates new
hopes where all earthly hopes vanish,
and throws over the decay, the dcstruc-
ton Of existence, the most Gorgeous of all
lights; awakens life even in death, and
from destruction and decay calls up beau
ty and divinity; makes an instrument Of
torture and shame the ladder of ascent
to paradise, and far above all com
binations of earthly hopes, calls up the
most delightful visions of palms and am
aranths, the gardens of the blessed, the
security Of everlasting joys, where the
sensuaIiSt and the sceptiC view only gloom,
decay, annihiIation and despair.

Manufacture of Glass,

Much advancement has been made In
this country in the manufacture of glass,
one Of the Improvements charlottesville
ing from observation and experience
and which led to the discovery that large
masses could be melted at less cost than
the same quantity divided into small parts
and fused separately-being an improv-
ed form of furnace, which insures a great
saving of fuel. Large sums have been
expended for the introduction of machi-
merry for facilitating the various opera
tiOns through which the crude metal must
pass. Mould machines for the purpose
eff pressing into any form, have revolu-
tionized the whole system of flint glass
manufacture, and the articles now turn
ed out by this machinery so closely re-
semble cut glass, that the practiced eye
can only detect the difference, and the
tendency has been SC to reduce the cost
of glass, that its consumption has Increas-
ed tenfold. The materials are all of ma
tive production the pig lead is obtained
from the western Rineo, ashes from Va
rious sources in different states, and silex
is also indigenous.
