The COlOrs of Animals.

Color is often the protector of the
life of the creature. In this respect
the principle of utility, which is much
spoken about by the partisans of the
theory of indefinite transformations
manifested in all parts of the organism,
requires little consideration to be
deemed indisputable. The hunter rea.
dily believes that the animal has sue
ceeded in escaping from him in conse.
quence of the gray or tawny color of
the fur, which was scarcely to be dis
tinguished from the soil, of its
plumage, which was almost identical
with tn foliage of the trees. In num-
berless cases, hares and rabbits, flying
over the naked soil, are able to evade
their pGrsuers from similar cause.
The autelopes of Africa and the kanga-
roos of Australia have coats that pro
cure for them equal advantages. The
lion may be cited as magnificent ex-
ample of conformity or coIoration,
Lying upon the sand of the desert, or
sauatted among the rocks, the animal
at a short distance would be almost in
visible, and the gNzelle would approach
him without fear of danger. The po-
lar bear does not stand ont conspicu-
ously upon the glaciers tho arctic fox,
the ermine, the alpine hare, which have
earthly tints in summer, have IN WIN
ter the whitenoss of the fields of snow
which they traverse. Nocturnal beasts,
bats, rats, and mice wear vestments,
which are we'll suited to obscurity. Al
though the tiger, the leopard, the pan
ther have, it is true, very visible mark
ings, yet they hide themselves beneath
trees, whence they spring upon then
prey. Among birds protective colors
are very common. Even without the
testimony of travellers we should have
good reason to suppose that paroquots,
touracos, and parrots, colored with all
sorts of beautiful shades Of green,
would be very difficult OF discovery IN
| tropical forests. In the desert where
there is no shelter, and where neither
tree nor bush is to be seen, swallows
uuails, lnnets, and gangas, which III
habit such localities, wear pIumago OF
various shades OF gray and isabella

The First Steamboat.

At Shepherdstown, in Jefferson coun,
tv, West Virginia, the first steamboat
was built. General Washington and
Governor Johnson, OF Maryland, were
the patrons of the enterprise. After
the war they procured together the In
corporation Of the Potomac company
by their respective states. And in 1888
Rumsey demonstrated to them on the
Potomac, above Shepherdstown, his
great discovery that a boat could be
propclled by steam up stream against
the current. The boiler and machinery
for Rumsey's steamboat were made at
the Catootin iron furnace, in Frederick
county, then owned bv Johnson and
some OF his brothers. The gentlemen
of the Potomac country then used to go
to the Baltimore (uow Berkeley springs
to drink the waters, and this experiment
of Rrmsey's, OF steam navigation, was
certified to have been success by
Washington, Johnson, and other emf
nent men then present. The first steam
boat was propelled on the Potomac,
the first boiler was made in Frederick
county, twenty years before Fulton per-
fected the idea and applied it on the

Discoveries Near tho North Pole.

According to accounts in late London
Journals, the Austrian north pole oxre-
dition was frozen in at the north point
of Nova Zembla i'll August, 1872, and
was driven in a northwesterly direction
with ice. The crew worked five months
in vain during the summer OF 1873 to
free the ship. In the autumn OF this
wear, north o the SOth degree of lati-
tude, an unknown land was discovered,
whose boundary line, north and west,
was not to be seen. A thin line was ex-
plored in sledqes from the 9th of MAJ ch
to The 4th of May, 1874, up to the S3d
degree. In honor of the emperor OF
Austria, this was named Franz Joseph
Land. There were were no signs OF an
imal life. On the Goth of MAY, 1874,
the crew left the ship to get of in four
sledges, and after travelling ninety.siX
days, reached Nova Zembla, where they
met with some Russian seamen and
were taken to Wardoe, in Norway, after
undergoing indescribable suiferings and
priyations.
