motive.

As early as 1859, DR.. Robinson, who
was at the time graduate of the Uni
verslty of Glasgow, and an applicant
for an assistant professorship there, and
who had made the acquaintance Of the
Observation-Disclosures, James Watt, when
visiting the workshop, called the atten-
ton of the latter, who was probably than
more ignorant of the principles Of the
steam-engine than was the Young stu
dent, to the possibility of constructing
a carriage to be driven by steam-en-
CINE, thus, perhaps, setting in opera
ton that train of thoughtful expert
ment which finally earned for Watt his
splendid fame.
Watt, at n very early period, pro-
posed 10 apply his engine to locomo-
ton, and contemplated using either a
non-condensing. engine or an au-sur-
face condenser He actually included
the locomotive engine in his patent Of
1884, and his assistant, Murdoch, in the
same year made working-model loco
motive which was capable Of running
at Il rapid rate.
This model, now deposited in the
patent museum at South kensington,
London, had fue-boiler and grass
hopper engine. Its steam-cylinder was
three-quarters of an inch in dame
ter, and had two inches stroke of pia-
ton. The driving wheels were nine and
half inches in diameter. 1t is re-
ported to have run six to eight miles
an hour, its little driving wheels making
from two hundred to two hundred and
seventy-five revolutions per minute

mans Observations.
New York Evening Post,


We have to chronicle very marked
return to the regular old-fashioned low
neck, which bids tair to hold its placo
after giving way SO long to high necks
or square necks for dress occasions
They may be modified by fichus of tulla
when too trying, but few words said
by clever French woman may helm n
solve the doubt often felt by a woman
as to whether she shall follow the die.
tates of fashion, or choose for herself
what is most becoming and desirable
This French woman has much to saw
about the clinging style of dress now
worn, and the disadvantage of every
ones following the same strict fashion
She would have every woman study
her own style, and then follow out some
particular idea which shall always have
in view her own advantage or disad.
vantages, SO as to show them off or to
hide them, as the case may be; and
she adds that the art of wearing low.
neck dress is understood by very few
women, as tact alone will set woman
tight in that respect, irrespective Of her
dressmaker, the fashion, and her own
innermost wishes. She gives one o:
two hints to be kept in sight by those
who have no rules set down. High
shoulders, she says, and slightly round
ing back, together with flat chest exact
a waist cut lower in front than at the
back, while this rule may be reversed
little for an opposite build. Thin and
high shoulders should never be seen
otherwise than covered by a square
neck; while well rounded shoulders are
never so beautiful framed as in the oval
of low-neck waist. In wearing orna-
ments around the throat, the full and
well-shaped throat is best left entirely
uncovered, while thin neck will re-
quire rows of pearls or stones in set
tings, or pendant necklace; and
long slender throat is much enhanced
by velvet, or a ribbon with single
clasp, or jewel in front In the mat
ter of sleeves, also, if the arm is short
and fat the sleeve should be replaced by
a slight frill of lace; if it is long and
thin short full sleeve, made like apuf,
or long sleeve is best; but if the arm
is well proportioned it needs no adorn-
ment and it is best uncovered, as moth
ing is more rare, and, when found, more
beautiful, than perfectly rounded arm.

heart-shaped pink patch free from hair,
and space around the throat of the
same color. When the animal becomes
angry or excited these become bright
red color. The nostrils are high up
from the upper jaw, and the upper lip
is SO mobile that it is often turned IN
so as to show the whole upper teeth and
gums. The tail is long and large. and
ends in tuft resembling roughly a lions
tail. The color of the hair is brown.
except around the breast where it is
gray. The bare part Of the chest shows
two male indications of teats, and the
suture seems to open into a pouch,
which, however, it has not been posi-.
bic to examine, as the animal is still
somewhat savage after its journey.
The female has not such long hair as
the male, and on the bare space in front
are two well-developed teats. The
young takes one in each hand and sucks
from both at once. While these ami
mails have rejected all fruits, ETC., they
eat Indian corn and grass, taking the
grass, pulling it apart and making it
INTO little balls. AS Ruppell says, they
sleep in caves; large box was intro.
duced into the cage and the whole of
them soon went into it, the old male re.
naming near the entrance on guard
The group is especially interesting to
naturalists from the fact that these are
the first ever brought to Europe.-Lon-

Remarkable Contest.

The correspondent of u French paper
relates a remarkable contest which he
witnessed in the Isle of Java between II
parrot and Il gigantic spider. The spi-
der, whose body was rs large rs Il small
birds, dropped down upon young par
rot whose mamma was from home, and,
sprea ling its huge claws over the nest,
began sucking its blood. When the
mother returned she naturally event
for The enemy, and seized hold of one
of its legs, but whether 1t be that legs
are not sensitive portion of spiders
organizations, or that this particular
insect had an overpowering penchant
for the blood of young parrots, he
wouldn't let go, until his pain becoming
too intense for endurance, he turned on
the mother, and, twiuing all his legs
firmly around her neck, was just ar
ranging for good long suck in that
quarter, when she gave him an awful
dig in the belly with her beak, where
upon he fell over, dragging her to the
ground with him. The naturalist then
shot him and released the parrot,
