Mr.. DARWIN is at present engaged in
investigating some of the fiesh-eating
plants, and some of his notds upon Do
9lOed nluscipuLd or Venus Fly Trap,
are very interesting. The leaf of this
plant is of very peculiar form. The
blade of the leaf consists of two nearly
semi-circular halves or lobes, which are
united together along their straight
border by a mid-rib. On to this the
two lobes are set In planes which are
nearly at right angles to each other.
The curved outer edge of each lobe is
strengthened by thick border or hem.
From the hem spring some twenty
spikes on either side, which are directed
upward and inward. The under sur
face is bright green, smooth and glis-
tening, and Is marked with parallel
streaks. The upper surface IS pink or
red, and is beset with little red prOiec-
tions, which are called glands. Even
after slight irritation, such as that
which is produced when fly merely
touches one of the sensitive hairs, or
when they are touched with dry cam
el-hair pencil, the leaf remains closed
for some time, usually more than TWEEN
ty-four hours. But if a fly is caught,
or any other nutritious substance is in
Produced, the case is different. For a
week or more the leaf remains closed
on its prey, the two lobes being at first
pressed fiat against each other. The
two lobes, indeed, close round the fly
so completely that its body gives rise
TO two projections of the (outer)
surface of eac lobe, which correspond
to it in form. The result of this is
that the secreting glands on the part
of the leaf against which the body of
the fly presses are irritated, and begin
to pour ont a quantity of secretion.
Gradually this effect extends to the rest
of the leaf, and consequently its cavity
becomes gradually extended. Between
this process and digestion the resem-
blance, as Mr.. Darwin has found by
most elaborate comparative investiga-
ton, is complete. 1t digests exactly
the same substances in exactly the same /
way, j. e., il digests the albuminous /
constituents of the bodies of animals /
Just as we digest them. In both in
stances it is essential that the body to

INcoNIBUsTIBLE PAPER AND INK.-An
English inventor has secured letters
patent for an incombustible fre-proof
ink. The pulp for the paper is com
posed of vegetable fibre, one part; ashes,
two parts; borax, one-tenth part; and
alum, two-tenth parts. The INK can be
used either in writing or painting, and
is made according to the following
recipe: Graphite, finely ground, twenty
two draehms; copal or other resinoas
gum, twelve grains; sulphate of iron,
two drachms; tincture of nut-gall, two
drachms; and sulphate of indigo, eight
drachms. These substances are thor
oughly mixed and boiled in water. The
graphite can be replaced by an earthly
pigment of any desired color.

CURIOUS EXPERIMENT IN ELECTRO Ca
PILLARTY. BecquereI notes an
other interesting experiment in electro
capillarity. A tube of glass is closed
at one of its extremities by a mem
brane of collodion. With the tube is
placed some sulphate of copper, and it
is plunged in mono-sulphide of sodium.
Crystallized copper is deposited within
the tube, and sulphide of copper out
side. Eventually the membrane be-
comes dissolved and disappears, but
without interruption to the phenomena
of deposits. The crystalline crust takes
the place of the collodion without in
terrupting the functions. It becomes
constantly thicker, metallic copper con-
tinuinG to form on one side and the sui
phide on the other. It is suggested
that this experiment may be of import
ance from a geological or mineralogi-
cal point of view.

SPECTRUM OF THE COMET. Father
Secchi has observed the spectrum of
Coggia's comet, and finds the lines of
carbonic oxide and carbonic acid very
brilliant. The same astronomer notes
a curious phenomenon which recently
happened in Jupiter's first satellite.
The atmosphere at the time of observa-
ton was quite clear, and the disk of the
planet, while plainly defined, presented
a slightly wavy surface As the satel-
lite neared the edge of Jupiter, and had
advanced so that a distance of about
one of its diameters separated it from
the same, the observer was surprised
to see the disk apparently extend itself
toward the satellite touch it, and then
retract. This to and fro motion contin-
ned until Che satellite was completely
obscured by the planet, period of four
or five minutes. Father Secchi sug-
gests that if similar undulations of the
solar disk take place at the time of the
passage of Venus, there will be strong
elements of uncertainty in the observa-
tions, and that it would be desirable to
employ meaEs which will reduce to a
minimum these effects of atmospheric
oscillation.

THE NEWLY DISCOVERED CRATER OF
MAUI.-AIr. Z. M. Alexander, in a let
ter to the Hawaiian Gazette. gives an
interesting account of his discovery of
very remarkable volcanic phenomena
on West Maui, one of the Sandwich Is
lands. He found crater on which
were nearly a score of volcanic pits, not
cones, from fifteen to fifty feet broad,
and ten to twenty feet deep, with shrub
berry within concealing the charms be-
low. From six of the pits columns of
steam or smoke were rising which were
destitute of sulphurous fumes and had
very little warmth. It is believed that
these pits are connected with subterra-
mean chambers heated by volcanic ac-
ton, and that the air arising from the
warm depths on a cold morning becomes
changed to fumes of steam.

FATTY MATTERS IN CAsr-IRoN.-An
experiment made long ago by Proust
revealed the fact that fatty matters can
be extracted from cast-iron when the
latter is dissolved in certain acids. NJ.
Cloez has recently separated these ma
terials in pure state, aud their analy-
sis reveals the interesting fact that they
consist of carburets of hydrogen of the
series of C2n H2n, and present all the
terms thereof at least from C6H6 (pro-
piyene) to C16H16. This is a veritable
organic synthesis, realized by the aid
of substances purely mineral, and is
susceptible, consequently, of important
for 1873 viii be found an account of
the extr4 ction of similar matters from

From the Philippi Plalnoesler.
There perhaps never has been Leg,
islatursnore unrsasopably censured
than the last one. We always have
had fault-finders and we expect that
that will always be the case. The last
| Legislature had more difficulties to en-
counter than any other that has ever
convened in the State. The Constitu-
ton under which they met required q
vast deal more legislation than cas-
ual reader wonld suppose on reading
the Constitution. Their work has been
done in a remarkably short time taking
into consideration the vast amount OF
labor that was to be performed by
them. The Virginia Legislature which
convened under the Constitution OF 1851
was in a continued session OF seven
months and had not near the labor to
perform that the late Legislature oil
West Virginia had. We have already
received 226 chapters Of the acts. COW
ering 80 far eco pages, while all the
laws passed by the Radical party as
codifed in 1868, only contained 100
| chapters covering 734 PAGES, being 90
chapters less and only "A pages more
than the acts we have received up 10
the time OF this writing. While we
are informed that the acts OF the late
| Legislature will contain as many il not
more pages than the Radical Code o.
1868, yet il we were to believe what
some cay the Legislature did but very
little. This is not saying much Tor

Of the law exsmptiug church and

District OF Columbia is being signed
by many OF the citizens OF Chicago. The
reasons given for repeal are that the

Constitution that Congress shall
make no law respecting an establish

the other taxpayers OF the country
sad that that the on':axatlon Of
