The COlOrs of Animals.

Color is often the protector of the
life of the creature. In this respect
the prinsiple 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 indisputabis. The hunter rea-
dily believes that the animal has sue
ceeded in escaping from him In cODse-
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 the foliage of the trees. In num-
berIess cases, hares and rabbits, flying
over the naked soil, are able to evade
their pursuers from a Rinnilnr cause.
The antelopes of Africa aud the kanga-
roos of Australia have coats that pro-
cure for them equal advantages. The
lion may be cited as a magnificent eI-
ample of conformity or coloraion.
Living upon the sand Of the desert, or
sduatted among the rocks, the animal
at q short distance would be almost in
visible, and the gazelle would approach
him without fear Of danger. The po-
lar bear does not stand ont conspicu-
eusIy upon the glaciers the arctic fox,
the ermine, the alpine hare, which have
earthly tints in summer, have in win
ter the whiteness of the fields of snow
which they traverse. Nocturnal beasts,
bats, rats, and mice wear vestments,
which are well suited TO obseurity. 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 their
prey. Among birds protective eolors
are very common. Even without the
testimony of travellers we should have
good reason to suppose that paroquets,
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,
quails, linnets, and gaDgas, which in
habit such localities, wear plumage of
various shades of gray and " isabella"
similar TO the sands and gravel. In the

up the pleasure of wearing them each

The recent experiments in the use of

The loss by the burning of the Gran
ite mill No. 1, at Fall River, Massachusetts,
last week, is reported at $500, 900. All
the operatives in the spoOling room were
lost. In the fifth story they were panic
stricken, aud jumped from the windows or
were suffocated. About thirty persons were
killed and injured, and the dying number as
many more Investigation seems to prove
that the fire originated IN the mule room, hav-
ing started in from unused mule-hesds in
charge OF boy named Young. The spinners
in the room tried to check the spread of the
flames with boxes and sticks, which broke all
the threads attached to the machine. Efforts
were made to subdue the fire, but ineffectu-
ally, and when it was at last found necessary
to sound the alarm, the flames had gathered
such strength that they were darting from
the lower windows. Many of the girls be-
came unconscious from fright ere the flames
reached them. Some leaped from the win
dows, preferring to be crushed and manned to
being burned. The shocking, heartrending
sight that met the eye ON all sides was ago

est awards at the recent Vienna and
Paris Worlds Expositions, as they
have uniformly done in American In
dustrial competitions. The fact that
these organs are the best in the world
is, indeed, too wei established to need
further endorsement.
The Company have now added a large
new factory to their former extensive
works, and design to greatly increase
their business. This they propose to
do by Offering organs for time pay
ments, or for rent with privilege of pur-
chase, at barely sufficient advance on
the cash prices to afford a reasonable
interest for the time. An organ NAV
be hired by the quarter with privilege
of purchase at any time IN one year or
longer. If purchased within the year,
the whole cost, including rent paid, is
only five to ten per cent. more than if
the cash had been paid down at the be-
ginning.

ing, Will be wise to send a note to the
Mason & Hamlin Co., at either Boston,
New York or Chicago, and obtain their
new circulars, before purchasing.

ne First Sfeamhnat

At Shepherdstown, in Jefferson eoun-
ty, 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 1Y85
Rumsey demonstrated TO them on the
Potomac, above Shepherdstown, his
great discovery that boat could be
propelled by steam up stream against
the current. The boiler and machinery
for Rumsey's steamboat were made at
the CatOctin iron furnace, in Frederick
county, then owned by johnson and
some of his brothers. The gentlemen
OF the Potomac country then used to 90
to the Baltimore (now Berkelev) springs
TO drink the waters, and this experiment
Of Rumsey's, Of steam navigation, was
certified to have been a success by
Washington, johnson, and other emil
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
Hudson.

Best Organs on Most Favorable Terms,

Cabinet OF Parlor Organs are capital
things for peddlers to work with, be-
cause very poor ones can be made at
half the cost of good ones, and few Peo-
pie are competent to tell the difference
from a first examination. Manufac-
turers print in their catalogues prices
which are three or four times as high
as the value of such cheap work. Then
the peddler starts out and puts them on
the people in various ways. He sells
at an enormous discount, if he can get
cash; takes part trade, if necessary, or
leaves the organ awhile on trial, and
sells It on long time at " manufacturer 5
prices" exhibiting the catalogue to
show that it is such, or even at a dis
count from this, which he can well af-
ford.
The Mason & Hanlin Organ Co.
have recently announced a plan which
is likely to interfere with this business.

form excellence, has obtained the high

mountains of Europe the Iagopede "a
species of partridge) during the sum-
mer has a pIumage which exactly har-
raonizes with the tint of rocks covered
with hehens. The bird delights to har-
Dor among such rocks, and sportsmen
say that frequently a large flock of
them escape notice. In the winter,
however, the Lagopede changes his COS
tune and becomes as white as the
SHOWS; he again succeeds in warding
off attention. The yellows, browns,
and " dead-leaf" tints of groupe render
the animal almost invisible when repOs-
ing among the trees in the woods. A
species of goat-sucker found in South
America is of such peculiar tints that
when it is lying upon the little rock IS
lands of the Rio-Negro it cannot be
perceived by the keenest vision.
