Scientific Miscellany.

The Jealousy of ants towards intrud-
ers is well known. Strange queens I'M
trodnced into their nests are very often
rnthlessly slaughtered; yet it is believed
that communities must occasionally
adopt queens. With the view Of testing
how far Il temporary acquaintance might
assnage dislike aud passion, Sir John
Lubbock introduced queen, protected
by wire cage, into a queen1css nest,
but when the cage was removed, some
days after, the queen was at once at
tackled. Nevertheless, Mr.. McCook has
observed the adoption by d colony of q
fertile queen. Such difference in con-
duct, Sir John suggests, may be due to
the fact that his own ants were living in
republic; for it is affirmed that bees
long without queen are strongly ayersc
to accepting another Furthermore, if
few ants from strange nest are put
with IL queen they do not attack ller, land
if other ants are by degrees added the
throne is ultimately secured.
One of the late arrivals at the Lon
don Geological Gardens is u mouse-eat-
ing spider. This gigantic insect is found
in South American forests. It is covered
with hair, and has u body three inches
long, with legs in proportion. It's food
consists of mice, small birds and insects.
-Trichinous pork was lately treated
with alcohol and salicylic acid, when d
microscopic examination showed that
the triclinal Mad disappeared. 1t is
therefore proposed to treat patients suf-
fering from trichinosis with alcoholic
liquors and salicylic acid.
An interesting botanical discovery
has been made by NJ. Lemoine Of Nancy,
who finds that the stigmas Of double
flowers are capable of fertilization by
the pollen of single flowers, with the re-
suit Of yielding seeds which in the ma
jority Of cases produce double flowers
"A remarkable resonance has been
observed in connection with the great
staircase Of stone in the Walhalla at
Regensburg, Germany. From one of the
landings, where two staircases rise in
opposite directions, metallic ringing
is produced by every footstep, while a
stamp Of the foot is answered by tone
50 clear, rcsounding and musical that
the visitor can hardly believe that the
stairs are not made wholly of bcll-metal
AS the visitor passes up the stairs, the
ringing gradually becomes weaker, and
soon ceases. The phenomenon is sup
posed to he due to the rapid reflections
OF the sound-waves between the opposite
stAircases. z.@m@... .=..
The existence of dangerous parasites
in oleomargarine has been asserted and
doubted. 1T now remains for experienced
microscopists to settle the important
question.
In Queensland remarkable plant
is often seen which possesses in an exag-
Grated degree the poisonous properties of
the singing nettle. It inflicts the most
excraciating pain upon persons whose
skin it may touch. Horses, when stung,
are said to become completely mad.

"A German chemist has furnished an
exceedingly cheap and simple plan of
testing the amount of water in milk. All
that is required is small quantity-say
an ounce-of gypsum. This is mixed
with the milk to the consistency Of a
stiff paste, and then allowed to stand.
With a milk of 1880 specific gravity, and
temperature of sixty degrees Falrcn-
heit, the mixture will harden in ten
hotrsif twenty-five per cent. Of water is
present, it will harden in two hours; if
fifty per cent. in an hour and a half; if
see'enty-tive per cent, in thirty minutes.

Choosing q Dwelling.

The mackerel, which commercially
ranks next to the cod among saltwater
fishes, is also partial to cool home,
though it is found somewhat further
south than the cod. Like the last-named
fish, it seeks very cold water in which
to spawn, preferring that Of which the
temperature is but little above the freeZ-
ing-point. Instead Of enjoying cold
water all the year round, however, as
the cod seems to do, there is a posi-
bility that the macherel hibernates.
Seeking soft, muddy or sandy bed ut
the approach of winter, it buries itself
therein, first drawing a scale or film
over each eye. Whether this finn is an
apology for night-cap, or the result of
a dropping OF the eyelid through ex-
IRENE drowslness, or due to providential
design: or development according to
environment, IL Darwin, is yet to be
covering to the eye during Information
has been proved by examination of
mackereiwhich have been dragged from
their comfortable touches by the
dredges of intrusive scientists. It is
not impossible that it may yet be dis
covered that the film is the result OF
disease, and that the muddy bottom IS
resorted to, not as winterquarters, butas
q hospital where earth-cure" is prac-
ticed as specially. Whether sick or
sleepy, however, the mackerel has an
intense aversion to cold bed, SO in Sc
lecting a resting place he avoids ground
over which salt ice is likely to drift, and
drizzle its chilly water downward. How
the fish arrives at certainties or prob
abilities ON this subject is something
that no fellow not q maclierel can find

Sheridan's First Victory.

It was in November, 1858. The In
dians had attacked the block-house at
the Middle Cascades, and had the in
mates badly whipped and in imminent
danger of being massacred at any mo-
ment. A courier was sent flying away
to Vancouver, where Sheridan held the
fort at that time, calling for immediate
assistance. Everything about the post
was thrown into great commotion in
the hurry and hustle of speedy depart
ure. Sheridan ordered an old-fashioned
iron cannon to be placed on board little
steamer, and, i'll q remarkably-short
space of time, was steaming awayup the
Columbia. Arriving at the cascades, the
cannon was put on shore and taken to
position On the bank OF the river in
the range OF the beleaguered block
house, which was surrounded by yell
ing sayages. In the excitement Of the
moment the gun was placed near the
bank and loaded very heavily. The
order was given, fearful boom, which
crashed and groaped throughout the
mountains, was heard, the cannon kicked
over the bluff and went splashing into
the Columbia, twenty feat below. The
artillery was silenced, and Sheridan
stood perplexed. HIS chagrin was
turned to Joy as he beheld the savages
running with all their speed for the
mountains, yelling as only savages
could. They bad never before heard
the report OF q cannon, and imagined
the judgment day had come. Sheri-
dan won his FIRST victory. saving the
lives Of those in the block-house, and
probably many others, as one success
of tbs hostiles would have caused
raid down the river. Some of the men
said the Indians did not quit running
until they had crossed Snake river in
Idaho.

other half covered close by sides and
top. When we had crossed the open,
space, and were about to enter the
covered part, which was so dark we
could only feel our way along the
planks that were laid for foot passen-
gers, we heard footsteps approaching,
and Jack, who was ahead, commenced
to growl ominously. SECT out. you
brute" we heard man say, but Jack
kept on, and, cursing and swearing
feerfully, the man retraced his steps.
When we got through the bridge, with
our hearts beating fearfully and cling
ing to one another in fright, there, on
an elevation, where Jack had driven
him, was one of the worst species of
tramp we had ever seen. A brawny,
dirty, desperate-looking fellow, who
looked as if ready to do any wicked deed.
Jack kept between us and the man I'M
til we had passed, then fell in our path,
following after, not dashing ahead as
before. Oh! how relieved we were
when we nearod the first house on the
road, and how thankful to reach home,
and how often we were called to relate
our adventure; and every time we told
it Jack sat up, slowly wagging his tail,
as If he understood that he was the
hero of the hour.
