A Crowd that Howls for ON %.

If Controller Pattison were hermetl-
cally sealed in q fire-proof safe and the
KEY buried in the deep bosom OF the
Delaware, it is the opinion of his chee
clerk, Mr.. Hirst, that several hundred
of the thousand or more otfice-seekers
would shortly penetratehiS hiding-place
and drown him in a food of petitions
for appointments. AS Il matter OF fact,
the Controllers Office has been IN a
state Of siege for II month past. Mr.

while Secretary Everett guards the in
ner fortress. The beleaguering party
are dauntless set. They lie in wait

row passages aud storm up the broad
stars leading to the Governor elects a.
partments, only to be routed but not
dismayed. They are determined band
of anxious men, n gallant crew OF give

pocket diviS ION workers and the colo

requires much manenvring and more
tact to saye Mr.. Pattison from this
hungry horde, Mr.. IIirst meets the

PLAIN FACTS ABOUT BOILER EXPLo-
IoNs.-In recent article emanating from
the Hartford Steam Boiler Inspection and
Insurance Company, we notice some very
sensible facts respecting causes that con-
duce to boiler explosions, and which we
believe will warrant us in commenting
on. The writer remarks that the tend
ency to employ cheap and irre-
sponsible men as engineers contrib
utes largely to the occurrence of acci.
dents with steam boilers. This is fact
that cannot be too strongly placed before
users of steam. Such economy is of the
'penny wise and pound foolish order as
many have found to their cost when too
late. Intelligent service at good wages
is cheaper in the end than ignorant
service as gift. Another active
factor mentioned is the dangerous
practice that prevails with mauufactur-
ers at times when business is pressing and
orders are crowding them, of working their
boilers up to their full capacity and more.
The evils of this practice are seldom esti-
mated at their proper magnitude, aud to
the serious straining and weakening of
boilers from this cause many disastrous ex-
plosions may be traced, directly or indi-
rectly. The extensive experience of the
Hartford company confirms these opinions
in the most unqualified manner, as the fol-
lowing declaration will testify "Expe.
rience teaches us that niEe- -tenths of the
boiler explosions in the country are attrib-
utable to carelessness on the part of engi-
neers, or to the cupidity and avarice of the
owners, who, to save the expense of addi-
t.onal boiler power, will order their boil
ers to be run at excessive and dangerous
pressures."

INSECT FIppLHRs.

An observation of Mr.. Bates, in his
"Naturalist on the Amszons, clearly
shows the purpose served of the "stridu-
lation" "-as the faculty Of producing sound
is named in insects. A male field-cricket,
like some gay troubadour, has been seen to
take up his position at the entrance of his
burrow in the twilight. Loud and clear
sound his notes, until, on the approach of
a partner, his song becomes more subdued,
softer, and all expressive in its nature. and
as the captivated and charmed one ap.
proaches the singer she is duly caressed
and stroked with his antenr e as if by way
OF recommendation for her ready response
TO his lovs.notes. Thus insect courrship
progresses much as In higher life, although,
indeed, the siren-notess sbelong in the pres
ent case to the sterner sex, and thus re.
verse the order of things in higher exist.
ence. The sound-producing apparatus in
these insects consists CT peculiar moditi-
cation OF the wings, wing. covers and legs.
Thus the grasshopper's song is Que 20 the
friction produced by the first joint of the
hind leg (ar thigl against the wing. covers
or first pair OF wings kind of mechanism
which has been aptly compared 60 a
species of vioiin-playing. On the inner
side of the thigh q row of very fine e-pointed
teeth, wandering from eighty to ninetN or
more, is und. When the wing covers or
first wings are in turn inspected, their ribs
or "nervures are seen to be very sharp
and of projecting nature, and these latter
constitute the strings" go to speak, of
the violin. Both ''fiddles" are not played
upon simultaneously the insect first uses
one and then the other-thus practising
that physiological economy which is so fire.
quently illustrated by the naturalist s
studies. Some authorities, in addition,
inform us that the base of the tail in these
insects is followed so as to constitute a
veritable sounding board, adapted to in.
crease the resonance of the song. And this
latter faculty is still more plainly exempli.
fed in certain exotic insects allied to the
grasshoppers these foreign relations hav-
ing the bodies of the males Gis5e1ded with
air for the purpose of increasing and inten.
styling the sound. Again, while, as al.
ready remarked, it is the gentlemen insects
which produce the sounds, there exist a few
cases in which the lady insects appear to
emulate the violin.playing instincts of their
mates.-[ Belgravia.
