Scent Of Dogs.

Dogs not only smell odors in an oo-
oasional way. but they likewise seem to
extract q recognizable odor from almost
everything. as Professor Groom Robert
son also suggests, Anacharist knows me
when I am dressed in clothes he never
saw before, by his nose alone. Let me
get myself up in theatrical costume,
and cover my face with a mask, yet he
will recognize me at once by some, to
us, undiscoverable perfume. Moreover,
clinging to my clothes after they have
been taken off. If I shy pebble on the
beach he can pick out that identical
pebble amongst thousand. Even the
very ground on which have trodden
remains to him faint memento of my
presence for hours afterward. The
bloodhound can track human scent
q week old, which argues delicacv of
nose almost incredible to human nos
trils. Similarly, too, if you watch An
acharist at this moment you will see
that he runs up and down the path,
shifting away at every stick, stone and
plant, as though he got a distinguishes

kerchiefs so as to be recognizable even
by our defective organs of smell, there
is nothing extrayagant in the idea that
passing creatures may leave traces, dis
coverable by keener senses on all the
pebbles and straws which lie across the
road. Thus the smells which make UP
half of the dogs picture of the universe
are probably just as contiguous and dis
tinct as the sights which make up the
whole picture in our case, and which
doubtless coalesce with the other half
in the canine mind,

Taking Ostrich Egcs.

An ostrich farmer in South Africa
gavo q correspondent of Forest and
Stream an interesting account of tho
way Hottontots steal eggs out of IN os-
tricll nest. He said: Hunters tell how
tho old birds can trace tho slightest
touch Of tho human hand upon tho
eggs, and how that the bushmen, when
they rob nest, have to lift tho eggs
out with sticks, but Jantje, the Hottcn-
tot, says this is a mistake. He says he
has removed and handled eggs without
the old birds ever observing it, and
that tho wild BIRDS eggs can be freely
handled. and rs long rs too many arc
not takcn out the old bird is none tho
wiser
Tho way Jantio robbed nests was
this: In some bush-covercd plain,
where he had reason to think ostrichcs
might be found, he went about mid
night, walking cautiously, and, when
reasonably near, sitting: under some
bush. Here he remained till about
three O'Clock in the morning About
this time he expects to hear them
''bromming."
''And what is 'brommingp' " We in
terrupt
''lt is kind of roar or short below,
which travellers, as you have read,
have often mistaken for the roaring of
the lion. This noise they repeat sew
cral times, and that gives Jantjc
chance to tell at least tho direction in
which the birds are, for the female will
not be far of.
'Then he steals rs near rs he can
with safety, and sits again till carly
daylight. About this timo the ostrich
broms again, and then, if possible,
Jantje steals along still closer and waits
till a third bromming. about eight
O'Clock, shortly after which the cock
leaves the nest While he is away, and
before tho hon has been warned to as
sumo her duties. Jantje has taken an
egg or two out of the nest, and now
knows pretty nearly where to come
when he wants another"
''And what does he do with the
egg?"
II am told they cook them in the
shell itself, and also by putting hot
stones into them. suppose they cook
them with hot stones when they wish to
preserve the she'll, which makes very
convenient bowl. and pretty strong
one too.
'"Those eggs" he continued, "con-
tain as much meat as two dozen hens
eggs, and it is of as fine flavor, near
ly. My wife frequently uses them in
baking cakes, and it is common prac-
tice among other farmers.
"Whenever we find an egg with the
shell perfectly smooth, or nearly so,
we set that down as a wind-egg and
cook it. Where there arc no pin-holes
in the shell it never matches chick
en-"
"And will wild ostrich fight for its
nestp''
''They will fight anything but hui
man being, am told"
And how do they make their at
tacks'
"By kicking. They throw their leg
forward, and if that big hooked toe
nail comes down your back, you will be
injured. 1t is not always that he sue
ceeds in making scratch, but the force
of his foot is as terrible. They often
kill each other in q fight, and have
been known to kill men. No matter
how tame they become, thcy are always
liable to attack you in the breeding
season. 1t is this uncertainty about
them that makes me like the busi-

The Philosophy Of Thunder,

Professor TAFT, the most eminent scion
tific authority on the subject, thus ex-
plains the noise made by thunder: Tho
origin of the sound is, in all cases, to
be looked for in the instantaneous and
violent dilatton of the air along the
track of tho lightning flash, partly, no
doubt, due to the disruptive effects of
electricity of which l have already spo-
ken, but mainly due to the excessive
rise of temperature which renders the
air for moment so brilliantly incan-
descent. There is thus an extremely
sudden compression of the air all round
the track of the spark, and less sud-
den, but still rapid, rush of the air all
into the partial vacuum which it pro-
duces. Thus the sound-wave pro-
duced must at first be of the nature of
bore or breaker. But as such a state
of motion is unstable, after proceeding
a moderate distance the sound becomes
analogous to other loud but less violent
sounds, such as those of the discharge
of guns. Wero there fow clouds, were
the air of nearly uniform density, and
the flash q short one, this would COM
pletely describe the phenomenon, and
we should have thunder crash or
thunder clap, according to the greater
or less proximity of the seat of dis
charge. But, as has long been we'll
known, not merely clouds but surfaces
of separation of masses of air of differ
ent density. such as constantly occur in
thunderstorm, reflect vibrations in the
air, and thus we may have many sue
cessive echoes, prolonging the original
sound. But there is another cause,
often more efficient than these. When
the flash is long one, all its parts be-
ing nearly equidistant from the observ-
er, he hears the sound from all these
parts simultaneously; but if its parts
be at very different distances from him,
he hears successfully the sounds from
portions further and further distant
from him. If the flash be much Zig
Jagged, long portions of its course may
run at one and the same distance from
him, and the sounds from these arrive
simultaneously at his ear. The ex-
treme distance at which thunder is
heard is not great, when we consider
the frequent great intensity of the
sound. No trustworthy observation
gives in general moro than about nino
or ten miles, though the arc cases in
which it is impossible that it may have
been heard fourteen miles off: But the
discharge of a single cannon is often
heard at fifty miles, and the noise of
siege or naval engagement has certain-
ly been heard distance of much more
than 100 miles.

motive for his murderous assault,

A remarkable case was recently
tried at Helbrun, in Germany. 4
laborer Of Lautfen accused of taking
his fathers life, deposed that he
had hanged his parent at his ex-
press desire and command. The
father had been indicted for embez-
element, and in order to escape
public disgrace commanded his son
to hang him. This the son finally
did, carrying the old man who was
suffering from broken leg, into
the attic for the purpose. He was
sentenced to three years and nine
months Imprisonment.

London Letter.

(From our Regular Correspondent.)
London, England, Juno, Goth, 1881
A week of cold, stormy weather
has followed one of draught and
high temperature. Heavy rains in
the South, and storms of hail and
snow in the north, have character
lied the early part of last week, and
later on tine sky has been for the
most part overcast and the nights
have been very cold. This latter
circumstance has rendered the pro-
gress Of vegetation slower than it
would otherwise have been, under
the circumstances, but the spring
sown grain crops are III a materially
better position than they were a
week ago. The lower temperature
by day has been decidedly favorable
to all the crops, except wheat, as
tending to prolong the season of
their growth, an early harvest be-
ing the one thing now to be feared.
The wheats continue to look strong
and healthy and in some districts
are coming freely into ear. Har.
vest prospects for pulse crops are
very uncertain, and, as they now
stand, decidedly hazardous. The
supplies of native wheat to London
and to nearly all the provincial ex-
changes have been very small, and
prices have advanced "a cts. per or.
in some of the more important mar
kets;; in Mark Lane, however, no
improvement has effected in values,
although The inquiry has been of a
rather more healthy description.
Flour has been rather an easier sale
but rates are unaltered.
The trade for foreign breadstuffs
has been rather more active toward
the close Of the past week, and
millers have filled up working stock
at the rates current during the pre-
vious week. The moderate arrivals
off coast and the better disposition
to buy on the part of the millers has
improved the tone Of the wheat mar
ket, but any attempt to enchance
rates has met with signal failure off
stands at Mark Lane.
In France there have been severe
storms, which have lodged the
wheat in the southern departments.
Markets have been inactive as far as
as the consumptive demand is con-
cerned, but prices generally have
been maintained. Speculation how
ever has been active.
In Germany crop prospects are
generally good, and grain markets
have been dull.
In South Russia there is pros.
pect Of a good harvest. and grain
markets are quiet.
