l.1.ncoMor1oN M TURKEY.

I.a. T. u 10 j 7
X. A tourist who has lately visited
Constantinople says: -.. q.
With streets so narrow, and for the
most part without sidewalks, the prin-
acipal mode of getting about is, OF
course, pedestrianism, and walking in
the middle of the street Gas it is all
middle,) it is a marvel how foot pas
senger, the equestrian, the street por-
ter with, his huge, burden, the laden
horse, donkey, OF camel, and the Turk :
rish dignitary, to whom all must give
place, jostle along, and yet without
bcollision. With the variety, of cos
TUNES, also, the scene is often very
lively and picturesque-as on the low
er bridge crossing the Golden Horn,
half mile or more in length, and up
on which five hundred to thousand
passengers at time are not infreguent.
AS majority of the men wear the
Turkish red fez, that also adds to the
gayety. European carriages of, much
felegance are often seen in the Pera and
|
Galata quarter, but seldom in the
Stamboul. There are no street cars,
omnibusses, or anything of the sort.
Indeed the character of the streets
would not admit of these. The Turk
ish caraiage for hire is about the size
of a London cab. nearly round, gaily
painted, but so low that we can hard
ly sit upright. They appear to be sell
dom used except by Turkish edignita-
ries, females and now and. then for
eigners. Horseback riding is univer-
sal. Every half dozen rods you meet
a Turk ish official, pistols in his hol-
sters, horse gaily caparisoned. some
times an attendant on foot ora a single
one on horseback, and if of some mil
itary rank, ,halfa dozen mounted, with
swords or carbines. These persons
are always splendidly mounted, and
have seldom seen SO many fine horses
Single horses, standing saddledi are
always waiting for hire at regular
stands, with which, at cheap rate
you may ride half mile or five miles
as you like, These are finely broken
but more ordinary looking. An at
II tendant, long-legged and bare-legged
runs by your side, and your movement
; must be very rapid, if he does moi
keep up. aras a1fI .s8ViistG.sagga.

IS THERE A GULF srnEAn.

Whatever doubts may be entertain
ed by skeptical minds as.to the exist
>eIice of Homer in ancient and Shakes
peare IN modern times, we have sup
posed that leading geographical facts
would never be called in question.
There is an equator, and an eciiptic
which is good enough to cross the
equator (both iminaginary lines, and
liSet unquestionable verities,) at GER

which we cannot stop to consider and

navigators hove tried to reach it in
Wan. We, all know from Sidney

Pole have both been spoken OF dis
respectfully" but we have never heard
/ their very existence denied; and yet
here comes a certain Mr.. Findley, who
does something quite as bold, and de-
clares there is no such thing as the
Gulf Stream! s,..,..5 ,aY To
]aal w hat shall we say to tins Slssasiy Clear
4 we cannot give up the Gulf Stream.
1t is our sure reliance for the explica-
ton OF, all exceptional conditions of
weather and freaks of the thermome-

cy of the great deep. No. .,s,a q
That. this attack on the Gulf Stream
comes from England is amazing
J enough. England would be an inhos-
pitable region but for the tempering
influence of this. genial current, and
should we ever get at war with her
government (Which we trust will new

NOVEL METHOD OF CATCHING MICE.

NOVEL METHOD OF CATCHING MICE.
A correspondent of the "Journal
of Pharmacy" says: Having on
several occasions noticed mice in our
seed barrels, bethought me of some
method how might trap the little in
truders; they having gained entrance
by eating through the chime. To kill
them with a stick was impracticable,
as the little fellows would invariably
escape as soon as the lid was raised to
any height. 1 then thought of satu-
rating piece of cotton with chloro-
form and throwing it in, then closing
the lid. On raising it again in few
minutes, could find that life hadal-
most or quite departed. Havingfon
one occasion left the, piece of cotton in
the barrel, on again returning, found
three mice with their heads in close
contact with it, and dead. Iu the eve
ming j saturated another piece and
placed it in the barrel, and on opening
it the next morning, to my surprise |
found nine dead mice,

THE EYE OF AN EAGLE. ]


The eyes of all birds have pecu-
liarity of structure which enables them
to see and hear distant objects equally
well and this wonderful power,i is car
ried to the, greatest perfection in the
birds of prey. When we recollect
that an eagle will ascend more than a
mile in perpendicular height, and from
that enormous elevation will perceive
its unsuspecting prey and pounce on
lit with unerring certainty, and when
we see the same bird scrutinizing with
microscopic nicely an object close at
hand, we shall at once perceive that he
possesses power of accommodating
! his sight to distance in a. manner to
which our eye is, untitled, and ofwhich
/ it is totally. incapable s4g -.l rl 30
ii If we take 2 printed page we shall
| find that there is some particular dis
tanee, probably, ten inches, at which
we can read; the words and see each
letter, with perfect distinctness; but
,Eif we move a page to n the distance. OF
forty inches we shall find it impossi-
BILE to read at all scientific men would
d therefore call ten inches the focus or
.focid, distance of our eyes. We cannot
alter this focus except by the aid OF
il bspectacles. III .-a.,.,.f l-qii-ga f.aars
i But an eagle has the power of alter
4 ing the focus of his eyetas he pleasesi
/. he has only to look at an object, at the
distance of two feet or two miles in
j order to see it with. perfect distinct
d ness. The ball of his eyeis surround
ed byififteen little plates, called scior-
q otic bones. They form a complete
ring, and their edges slightly overlap
each other, aHo2 5 a.iA ist " ~
Is When he looks at distant object
this little circle of bone expands, and
theaball of the eye being relieved from
} the pressure, becomes flatter; and
when he looks at very near object
the little bones press together and the
ball OF the eye is thus squeezed into 9
rounder or more convex form. The
effect is very familiar to everybody
A person with very round eyes is
near-sighted, and only sees clearly al
object that is close to him; and per-
son with fiat eyes, as in old age, car
see nothing clear except at aidistanee
The eagle, by the mere will can max,
, his eye round or fiat, and see will
!, equal clearness at any distance. iii2.
