Wonders of Mechanism.

Some wonderful accounts are hand
ed down of mechanism so constructed
as to resemble the figure and initiate
the actions of mankind. Archytas, of
Tarentum, about four hundred years
before our era, made wooden pigeon
thatco'd fly. Albertus Magnus usronstruc-
ted an automatun to open his door
when any one knocked. The celebra-
ted RegiOmotanus made wooden ca
gle that flew forth from the city, salu.
ted the emperor, and returned. He
also constructed Al iron fly, which
flew out of his hand and returned, af-
ter fiying about the room. In 1913,
an automaton flute player was exhib'
tied at Paris that played on the flute
in the same manner as living per-
former. In 1741, Vaucansen produced
a fiageolet player, which played the
fiageUlet with the left hand, and beat
tombOrine with the right. He also
made duck, which dabbled in the
water, swan, drank, and quacked like
q real duck. A Frenchman exhibited a
duck in this city, seven or eight years
ago, which went through several of
the same operations. AutOmatons
have been constructed which wrote,
played on the piano forte, etc. During
the present century, Swiss named
Mallardes constructed a figure repre-
senting 6 female, which performed
eighteen tunes on the piano. and con-
tinued in motion an hour. He also
made another figure, representing a
hoy that could write and draw.-JOur'

The DardailelIeS.

The Dardanelles, toward which so
much attention is now directed, fairly
teens with historic and poetic memo
ries. It's navigation was first attempt
ed by the ArgOnauts under Jason, in
their search for the Golden Fleece.
At Abydos, Xerxes built his famous
Bridge of Boats for the invasion Of
Greece, and il was here that the loves
of Hero and Leander became world
renowned. Leander, who lived at
Aby,los, on the Asiatic shore, was in
love with Hero, the beautiful priestess
of Venus, at Sestos, and regularly
swarm the strait. One dark and
stormy night he failed to appear, and
when the luckless Hero visited the
shore the next morning the waves had
washed the dead body of her lover
upon the sands. Overcome by her loss,
she plunged into the sea, and the spot
became ever after sacred to their men,
ory. On the Sd of March, 1910, Lord
Byron swan the DardanelleS, at the
same point in seventy minutes. He
was accompanied by Lieut.. AIKEN
head, whose name has been handed
down to posterity in the line:
"Which Leander, Mr.. Akenhead and did,"

The New York Evening Post says:
Mr.. James Russell Lowell, in one OF

ment with a slight change Of words.
but without loss Of force, to any tax ON
humanity, and such q tax most ae-
cursed is certainly the duty Of ten per
centum ad valOrem which in the new
tariff bill Is levied on qGinine. Tn"
present duty of twenty per eentum ON

at $125 900, of which four fifths will b.
pocketed by two rich firms in Phila-
