rhe Wonaers o. o Hen,s Egg.

The following interesting observations
on the changes that occur from hour to
hour during the incubation of the hens
egg are from Sturm's Reflections:
The hen has scarcely sat on her eggs
twelve hours before some lineaments OF
the bead and body of the chicken appear.
The heart may be seen to beat at the
end of the second day; it has at that
time somewhat the form of horseshoe,
but no blood yet appears. At the end
of two days two vessels of blood are to
be distinguished, the pulsation OF which
is visible; one of these is the left ven
tricle, and the other the root of the great
artery. At the fftieth hour one auricle
of the heart appears, resembling a moose
folded down upon itself.
The beating of the heart is first OBJ.
served in the auricle and afterward in
the ventricle At the end Of seventy
hours the wings are distinguishablei and
on the head two bubbles are seen for the
brain, one for the bill, and two for the
fore and hind part of the head. Toward
the end of the fourth day the two auri-
cles already visible draw nearer to the
heart than before. The liver appears
toward the fifth day. At the end of
eleven hours more the lungs and stow-
ach become visible; and four hours
afterward the intestines, and loins, and
the upper jaw. At the one hundred
and forty fourth hour two ventricles are
visible, and two drops Of blood instead
of the single one which was seen before.
The seventh day the brain begins to
have some consistency. At the one
hundred and nineteenth hour OF incuba-
ton the bill opens, and the flesh ap-
pears in the breast.
In four hours more the breast bone is
seen. In six hours after this the ribs
appear, forming from the back, and the
bill is very visible. as well as the gall

Well Macaulay was at Rome when he
was quite young man-before he was
celebrated at all, you know-and, one
night, he came here to do just what we
are doing. Well, he was all by himself
under those dark arches, where it is as
black as night, when all OF a sudden a
man in a large cloak brushed past him
rather rudely, as Macaulay thought, and
passed on into the darkness. Macau-
lays first impulse was to clasp his hand
to his watch pocket; and sure enough he
found that his watch was not there. He
looked after the man who he doubted
not had stolen his watch as he brushed
past him; rushed after him, overlook
him, and seizing him by the collar de-
manded his watch. Now, Macaulay
could at that time speak very little
Italian, and understood none when spo-
ken. So he was obliged to limit his
attack on the thief to violent
shaking of him by the collar and an an
CRY repetition of the demand Orolo-
giol orologio" The man thus attacked
poured forth torrent of rapidly spoken
words, of which Macauley understood
not one syllable. But he again admins
tered severe shaking to his captive,
stamping his foot angrily on the ground,
and again vociferating, "Orologlo
orologiol" Whereupon the detected
thief drew forth the watca and handed it
to his captor. Macaulay, satisfied with
his prowess, turned on his heel as he
pocketed the watch, and saw nothing
more of the man. But when he returned
to his apartment at night his landlady
met him at the door, holding out some
thing in her hand and saying: Oh, sir,
you left your watch on the table, so l
thought it better to take care of 1t.
Here it is" Good gracious
What is this, then2 What is
the meaning of it2' stammered Macau-
lay, drawing from his pocket the watch
he had so CALAMITY recovered in the
Coliseum. 1t was watch he had never
seen before The truth was plain; he
had been the thief The poor man he
had so violently attacked and apostro-
phized in the darkness and solitude OF
the Coliseum arches had been terrified
into surrendering his own watch to the
resolute ruflian who, as he conceived,
had pursued him to rob him. The next
morning Macaulay, not little crest
fallen, hastened to the Office OF the Ques'
tor with the watch and told his story.
All, l see" said the Questor; you
had better leave the watch with me. l
will make your excuses to the owner oi
it; he has already been here to denounce
