can travel without a road. It is an incident of
every day occurrence in the spring and fall
seasons, that men are thus becalned on the
prairie as efFectualy as are ships at sea; nor

be carried steadily enough to keep its meridian,
and the course it points cannot be kept for fifty
and come back to the place he started FROM
The circle will be large or small generally, in
proportion to the density Of the sometimes
only hundred yards in diameter; at other
times mile, but seldom moro The circles
thus made are perfect. This k Il Of wandering
seems to arise from an attempt to go straight
course when there is nothing to guide the
or the general contour Of the country are dis
regarded. 1t rarely befalls children, who do
not attempt to go on a course, but only run
from one visible point to another equally per-
ceptible.

TRAVELLING IN A CrRcLE-HaJits Of Be'0i1der-
ell Peopze.-A correspondent writes to the
.Scicntifc american:
Ina late number of your paper you state, in
answer to some correspondent, that you have
no confidence in the report that when man
is lost he will travel in a circle. In this you
are al certainly mistaken; it is fact well known
to all frontiersmen, that, when persons are be-
wildercd, they equently travel in perfect
circle, sometimes keeping the same track until
they make dozen equal rou nds; at other times
making the circle larger or smaller each time.
It is not by any means always the case when
person is lost; bnt it is so frequent that it is
within the experience Of every one who has
been much in the woods. In calm and cloudy
weather, and in country of much sameness of
cred cred as to take the circles" Persons not oc-
customed to the woods will sometimes do so
when the sun is shining and steady breeze
blowing On the level or gulf prnires of this
country, OH a calm, foggy morning, no man

TIE HONE CIRCLE THE SAFE PLACE FOR You've
WoMEN.-Commenting upon DR.. Langer's pro-
position to license houses OF harlotry, the Phil
adephia Ledger says:
"Half the victims Of these houses have been
domestics-that is, most of them have been
servants in hotels or boarding houses, but they
have all lived out of tile home circle. This home
circle is the only adequate and most natural
protection for an unsophsticatcd woman-the
true place whence n man may select a vrtuous
wife. In proportion as that circle is kept up,
and the females Of the family are kept in it,
their dangers arc infinitely lcssencd.
If this one fact could be borne in mind by
honest parents and enterprising children, there
would not be so many anxious to leave their
homes in the country to seek a precarious
living in factories or in the city, throwing
themselves among strangers for the sake of
earning little more ready money and getting
an insight into city fashions and city life. If
the girls must come let the old folks come, too.
But boarding house life and new scenes, and all
the dcccptions and snares of n city are just what
unprotected females should not be thrown in the
way of for the sake of learning trade or any
other seeming advantage
