The Minds Of Animals.

DR.. w. Lander Lindsay, of whose
views on the subject of animal psychol
oey we have before spoken, is Scot
fish physician, devoted to mental dis
cases, but who also takes a great inter-
est in the minds of the lower animals,
the study of which he is now system
atically prosecuting. He believes that
animals have minds as really as do
men, and that although vastly aud va
riously lower, they are still kindred to
the human mind, and upon analysis
yield the same mental elements or ri.
diments of the faculties. But he goes
still further, and affrms not only that
animals have trne mental natures, but
that these are liable to arrangement;
that is, in fact, animals are sub.
ject to the same mental diseases
as man. He has recently published an
elaborate paper Oh insanity in the low
er animals, in which he gives the most
curious and interesting proofs that
they also go deranged in all kinds of
ways. Even the vexed questions of
civilization and insanity he finds mixed
up with this lower animal problem.
DIR. luke, an eminent authority on hui
man insanity, remarks that there is all
acateness or sensibility, susceptible
ty of the emotions, an intense activity
of the feelings, which would seem to be
peculiar to highly civilized life, and
out of this state of the nervous system
come various predispositions to mental
disease. DR.. Lindsay holds that
this is equally true of animals. He
says: "The effect of domestication
and breeding IN the production of a
predisposition to disorders of the whole
nervous system, including, especially,
the brain, is another subject of the first
Importance in relation to the symptoms
Of insanity in animals. The high
breeding, for instance, in dogs and
horses, begets extreme nervous sensi-
bility, including high mental sensitive
ness, one result of which is great sus-
oeptibility to diseases of the entire ner-
vons system: The distinguished Par
islan Psychologist, NJ. Claud Bernard,
has pointed out the effects of
breeding in the obvious differ
ences as regards nervous sen
sibility or irritability between
hlgh-bred animals and the same species
inthe wild or natural state. He says {:
so exquisite is the nervous sensibi1ity
of dogs Of the higher breed that the
slightest operations bring on fever. and
are attended with alarming symptoms.
They cannot, therefore, be employed in
researches connected with the gastric
juice; in fact oil operations performed
within the abdominal cavity are liable
to superinduce peritonitis, which gen
orally proves fatal In dogs of a
lower breed the results are totally diff
ferent, and NJ. Bernard states that in
the horse these differences are, if pos
sible, still more strongly marked"

Mr.. w. MATr1EN WILLIAMS, reason

poses that there may be great precipi.

Iron pyritos is iargs;,jy' imported from
Sweden and Norway into England for
the manufacture Of sulphuric acid
From the residuum copper is extracted
in such quantities "a to compete with
the prod,ictd OF the Cornish mines and
effect reduction of price which, is
leading to calls for government pro-
lection.
PIERIc, or carbazotic acid, another
coal tar product, is used as an eco
nomical and permanent yellow dye, as
tonic substitute for quinine in inter-
mittetit fevers, as q profitable adulter-
alton and substitute for hops in the
manufacture Of beer, and as an explo-
sive. Some of its compounds deton-
ate, like nitro glycerine, by mere per-
cllssion.
THE Rev. T. w. Webb refers to the
extraordinary proflsion of brilliant
points which, on rare occasions, d.
versify the Nave Crisium as possible
indications Of atmospheric and hygro-
metric influence, and Prof. WinlOck's
observations may perhaps be partially
explained by the existence of glisten-
ing patches of frost.
DIR. F. PLAFF finds water and COM
mon salt mechanically occluded be-
tween the component crystals of all
granite rocks, but no water was found
in any kind of lava, obsidlaD, or basalt.
These researches have an important
bearing upon the now much-mOoted
question, whether the GRANTEES and 9TH
er kindred rocks are of sedimeptary or
of igneous origin.

boilers by distilled water to the fact
that iron is slowly attacked by steam at
moderate temperatures: Prof. Wurtz
is not prepared to accept this view,
but attributes most of the internal cor.
rosion to the conversion of the iron
surface into hydrated protoxide ofiron,
which is quite soluable in water.
