wasp quickly sprang forward and dis
patched his foe with single thrust Of
his sting. The wasp then repeated his

assault would be met with no further
opposition. when he entered the nest and
slaughtered the young spiders, which he
afterwards carried away.
A Dundee diver has attached u tele-
phone to his helmet and tested it during
submarine operations with very salts
factory results.
With the telephone, writing tele-
graph and many other remarkable ap-
plications of electricity fresh in mind,
no one seems greatly surprised by the
announcement thst not only may speech
and varieties Of motion be transmitted
Geographically but that form and color
also may be reproduced at . distance
through the fundamentally Of the same
potent agent. This result seems to have
been attained by the diaphote Of pr.
Licks. The apparatus consists Of fehr
essential parts-the receiving mirror, the
transmitting wires, an ordinary galvanic
battery, and the reproducing specnlum.
In q model lately exhibited the mirror
was six inches by four in size and had
seventy-two fine wires, tho latter being
gathered together at little distance be-
hind the frame and covered with an in
sulating material. On reaching the re-
ceiving speculum each little wire was
connected to division corresponding to
its place on the mirror. Wires were also
run from the battery to each diaphotic
plate, forming y circuit which could be
closed at pleasure. The theoretical ac-
ton of the instrument appears to be as
follows: The waves of light from an Oh
ject are conducted through an ordinary
camera, 50 that they fall on certain di-
visions of the mirror when the electric
current is closed. The light and accom-
panying heat produce mo,nentary chem
ical changes in the amalgam Of the mir
ror-which consists Of a peculiar COM
pound of seleninm and chromium. These
changes modify the electric current and
cause similar changes in the correspond
ing partitions Of the remote speculum,
thus reproducing the image, which, by a
second camera, may be seen by the eye
or thrown upon a screen.

Scientific Miscellany.

Some remarkable facts are being
elected by the Investigations Of natural
lists in B0rneo. In the stems of certain
plants found there galleries are tunnel
led by q species Of ant, and it is asserted
on the authority Of Beccari that the pres
encs Of the ants are actually essential to
tho existence Of the plants, for unless at
tackled by the insects when young the
plants die.
The SUMS radiation is not without
influence on the comfort Of the occupants
of a house, and the influence may be
very differently felt, according to the ex-
posure Of houses. In building unef-
fected by any shade Herr vogt recently
made series Of experiments to determine
the relative amount Of the SUMS heat
daily entering the different sides. He
obtained the surprising result that more
heat enters building through the east
aud wost walls than through the wall
facing directly south, although tho south
aide is more exposed to the direct action
Of the sums rays nearly twice as long rs
either Of the others. A considerably
greater quantity Of heat is received by
the east than by the west side.
The st. Gothar.l tunnel furnishes an
other striking example Of accurate sur
veying. Although the entire length Of
the tunnel is nine and quarter miles,
the two galleries were bored with such
precision that they met with difference
