Instinct of Turtles.

Audubon, the naturalist, stated thai
at certain place on the coast OF Flor
ida, sea-turtles, those huge solid-look'
ing reptiles on which aldermen are fed
at the expense of the Taxpayers, pos
sess an extraordinary faculty OF finding
places. Working their way out Of the
reach OF tide water, with their fiippers,
quite deep hole is e1cavated, in which
batch of eggs are deposited, and ther
carefully covered up. On reaching the
water, they not unfrequently swiH
three miles out to sea, foragmg for appro
pirate food. When another batch ol
eggs are developed, after lapse Of
about fourteen days, they will return
unerringly In direct line, even in the
darkest night, and visit the buried
eggs. Removing the sand, moro are
deposited and secured. Away they 60
again, as before. They know instinc-
lively the day and hour when the
young brood, incubated by solar rays
will break the shell, and are promptly
on the spot to hberate them from theil
prison. As soon as they are fairly ou
of the hole the mother turtle leads
them down to the bank to the waves
and there ends her paternal solicitudt
and maternal duties.

SbyiDg Horses.

Most horses will shy when passing
dead decomposing bodies. Thus other
senses besides the sense of sight is at
times a cause of shying. The condi-
ti.n Of the animal is also a modifying
circumstance. Thus high condition
favors shy1ng while lowness OF condi-
ton, from depressing the powers OF life
generally, or Iessening the nervous en-
ergy, renders a horse less likely to shy.
Again. there is much in association.
A horse accustomed to be used together
with another, will often shy when led
alone. Fear, therefore, is very likely
to become cause Of shying. 1t is also
well-known that horses will not readily
pass place where an injury has been
inflicted on them, and some express a
dread at certain objects. White color
ed objects often prove cause of shy
ing, and this more especially IL the
night time, when surrounding objects,
peing indistinctly seen, do not contri-
butte to give confidence to the animal.
Parity of reasoning may be considered
cause. But we prefer to refer shyine
to fear, or the sssocistion of ideas aris-
ing from past occurrences. as the re
membrance of injuries, etc. But We have
sufficiently shown that there are many
causes for this vice or habit. and that II
Is not dependent on merely defective
vision.

IEtsrostin2 Relics.

EsyptoloSy has furnished admirable
matter for the romance maker, but in
the late discoveries near Thebes there j,
material which might wake upIn any
ones dormant poetry. Covering the grim
mumies, cured with bitumen. swathed
in cerements. had been placed wreath
of flowers. The white and blue lotus
had been gathered, and mingled with
them there was profusion of small,
delicate blossoms, yellow, red and
white tinted, all garlanded and inter
woven. The deaths head peered out
from amid the bloom of a past age.
Three thousand years had gone since
their perfume had robbed death of its
terrors. and still these fragile flowers
had neither lost color nor shape. Put
ting aside the verses, the sonnets. which
these flowers might inspire, modern
science steps in and silences for the
nonce the sounds of the Tyre. What are
these flowers? asks the Dryasdust bota-
mist. With magnifying glass each
petal stamen and leaf is examined.
DIR. Schweinfurth is studying these
tender relics, eater to discover their
kind and species. Never was betanist
placed face to face with such treasures.
Herbariums are frail, fragile, brittle
things. The oldest collections known
are only of the seventeenth century, and
then there are but two or three of them
in the world. Here are folal treasures
of 5000 B. c., and they are as fresh as
if culled but yesterday. Three or four
are at once classed, but here is one
which has disappeared entirely from the
hower-beds of this earth, and there is
another found only to-day in farthest
Abyssinis. Had Linneus only been
alive, how he would have revelled as he
botanized oyer this field of mummies!
There are more material things, too,
which have been foand with these
mummies. Packed away with the
mortal remains of Queen Isimkheb were
various kinds ST fruits. That long wait
which this lady had to make before a
kind of quasi-immortal stage was reach
ed Chat condition which NJ. Maspiero
designates as the Esyptlon KAY, was to
be broken by occasional refreshments.
Here sre sugared dates, almost as fresh
as when plucked from the tree. But
more than this, as if Queen Isimkheb
had really broken her fast. here are
teeth marks in the fruit, and scooping-
out evidently made by spoons. De Foe,
in his ''Robinson Crusoe." made his
hero start with amazement when on the
shore of his island he saw for the first
time the footprints of another man.
When Mariette Bey, in the metropolis
Of Apis, came across the Impressions of
toes and heels in the sands, which the
last of the old Egyptian priests had left,
the explorers emotions were indescrib-
able. Here with these Theban num-
mics We bridge over thousands of years;
and past cons are at one and the same
time both far and near to US.

Human Meanness.

During the wildcat days In the West,
brooklyn man, who died not long
since, was in business in Michigan
town, and formed close friendship with
the cashier of one of the private banks.
One evening the cashier admitted that
he was laying his plans to rob the bank
of all its funds and skip into Canada,
and his friend permitted himself to be
drawn into thep plot. They were to skip
together and share alike. and certain
date WAS mentioned for the affair to
come off. The Brooklyn man sold out
his store at a big sacrifice and went to
Detroit. where the cashier was to JOIN
him with the stolen funds. The hour
came and the cashier came. but he had
no sparkle in his eye.
"Busted-busted al to blazes! he
groaned in explanation.
Didn't you get the money!
"Not a cent?"
Flows that?"
"Why, the president skipped Out
Sunday night, the secretary followed
him Monday morning, and the whole
hoard of directors disappeared that
night. On Tuesday morning there
ussnt an internal dollar bill left tt

ssThere wasn't?"

ed with the names Of some more or less
celebrated artists. Only recently large
collection, believed by the owner tobe
genuine when he bequeathed it to the
City of Glasgow, was pronounced to be
next to worthless; and the many "duf-
fers" which were discovered to form the
gems" Of the Wynn-Ellis Gallery when
it was I'D in 1876 must still be fresh
in the memory of the art world. There
is perfect factory for the mandatory
of Old Masters in Rome, and scores of
art students in the Continental towns
support themselves by making copie
in the public galleries for sale to the
dealers, who, in due time, by the aid of
smoky chimney, and other ingenious
devices which need not be enlarged on,
supply the demand for Rafaels, Rubens,
Vandycks, and Murillos, which comes
from America or from quart ers near
home. Out Of one hundred and fifty
three pictures submitted to one expert
for his opinion, only eleven were found
to be genuine. There are hundreds of
"Linnells" and "Birket Fosters" in the
market, on not one of which these artists
put a single stroke of the pencil. John
Philip was so successfully initiated that
when his executor was compiling ca
talogue of that artists work he often
found difficulty in deciding as to the
of the many works claiming
to be from tine deft had of ''Phillp, of
Spain" A copyist after ten years
practice succeeded in producing fac-sim-
lies of Turner's drawings with such
fidelity that to prevent these copies be-
ing sold as the famous artists own works
Mr.. Ruskin had to sign the latter; and
so undistinguishable from the original /,
was a copy of one Of Landseer's paint
ings that the master was himself de-
ceived by it at one of Christie's sales.

The following is picture of some
noted men as they appeared on the oc-
casion Of Nh. Blaine's Grafton upon
President Garfield An epauletted
officer Is already standing il the open
space before the speaker-Admiral
Worden, his hair still as brown as when
he staggered, blinded, in the turret of
the Monitor-when the doors below
swing open and the Generals swing in,
starred, yellov-sashed and white-plum-
ed. Sherman strides along at the head
and Sheridan trots at his 81 de, his cav
airy sabre clanking along over the brass
ventilators in the floor. Hancock, the
very model Of MAJOR General; Melgs,
looking like business man, in a new
uniform, and Howard. They have
come to be q gray .grizzled lot. our Gen
erals, and they sat each after his own
fashion-Sherman stretched straight Ill
his chair, Sheridan leaning on his sabre
gripped at the middle, and Hancock as
if he were having his picture taken and
were particular about the set of his
shoulders. As the row of Generals sit
down, DR.. Bliss, the only one Of Presi-
dent Garfield's medical attendants in
conspicuous place, comes in-a siouch-
ng man, with boyish side-whiskers and
bob-tailed coat with an expanse OF shirt
front. The diplomatic corps streamed In
close upon the army and navy. 1t is not
possible, in these narrow pa,sage-ways
and jostling crowds, to keep much re-
semblance of order. and the long line,
led by Minister Allen, Of the Hawaiian
Islands, came in by twos and threes.
They were seated at last, with some
pushing and pointing. by Clarke, the
architect of the Capitol, a smooth faced
man of manners. The corps filled two
long lines in the round open space be
low. Behind them are the seats wait
ing empty for the Senate, in front OF
the score OF empty chairs left for the
President, the Cabinet and Supreme
Court.
The delicate question as to prece-
dence is settled otherwise at the White
House. There the corps takes prece-
dence, here the coordinate branches OF
the Government.
Among q swarm of unknown South
Americans is Sackville West, in the
spreading gilt leaves which cover half
Her Maieety's diplomatic uniform. The
ribbon of Sweden, the yellow and red
Of Spain, the white-edged sash of the
Mejidich, with its great star and swing
ing collar, the tiny black and white of
the Prussian black cross. the Russian
military order on light V-shaped gold
frogged shell coat of the guards, here
and there light up this row of men, who
sit with solemn, Inotionless sincerity
which Americans admire and avoid.
But what are they all in digniiied
quiet by the side of the Cinnamon IN
their violet robes, soup-dish hats, with
the little red, blue and crystal button
at the top, and the five-toed imperial
dragon sprawling on the embroidered
disk worn before?

Pole Roads.

Pole roads fer logging purposes are,
the simplest among the many forms OF
road which lumbermen find convenient
and necessary in the prosecution ofiog-
Ring operations, when snow and ice roads
are not available. They can be con-
structed In locality where the ground
il reasonably level. and are particularly
adapted to such locations as present
sandy or fairly firm soil, They consist
of long small peeled poles, the longer
the better, from four to five inches IN
diameter at the top, to eight or ten in
ches at the butt end. The more evenly
they carry their size from butt to top,
the better the road. The ends Of the
butts, and as well of the tops, are long
scarfed, and pinned together with suit
able hard wood or strong pins, of one
and half to two inches in diameter,
according to the size OF the timber
through which they are to be driven.
Tops should be scarfed to tops, and butts
to butts, in order 20 provide perfect
bedding Of all parts in the ground If
the scarfing is done so as to cause the
poles to lie naturally on the ground when
in place. the pins should be long en-
ough to penetrate the earth to some dis
tance. This all the fastening or anchor
ing usually provided.
The wheels of the car are concave or
v-shaped, and as they pass over the rails
naturally force them to maintain their
proper distances from each other while
preventing them from spreading apart
1t will take but few trips of q loaded
car over these poles to bed them in the
earth, when spreading is practically out
of the question. The wheels musi, in
their concave surface, be adapted to the
general size of the poles to be used, and
if larger poles ar, employed, or large
butts are used, the az mEst be nsed in
hewing off enough Of the surplus wood
to give the wheels a sure bearing. Any
kind of timber which carries its size well
may be employed. and if a pole gives
out it is easily replaced. But compare
tively little grading is requisite, although
it is obvious that the more level the top
of the track is kept, the less friction Is
encountered. To determine the power of
cross tie for this reason it is well to
bed the butts enough to bring them lev
sl with the beddsd tops. No cross-tying
is employed, and So solid are those
roads. that. in many sections, light loco
motives are run upon them. With these
general points stated, any man whocom.
prehends the conditions under which
concave wheels may be kept from run
ming of through mounting the poles
should have no difficulty in building {
pcle road. II the soil is not sufficient,
firm to prevent the poles from becom
ing too deeply EMBEDDED, cross ties ol
poles may be used, but as rule the
are more harm than advantage, as the,
tend to prevent the sef-sdJuslment o
the track for which the concaye wheel
would naturally provide.
