Curious Habits.

Great men often fall into curious habits,
which they find 1t impossible TO conquer.
Augustus Hare, one of the ripest scholars
in the English pulpit, and a refined gentle
man, when he had ended n train of hard
thinking, would spin around on his heel a
few seconds and then resume work again.
Neandor, the famous church historian,
could not lecture to his students unless he
had n goose-quill to pull to pieces as he
talked, and ii was necessary to supply n
second goose-quill when the first was
completely stripped. William Wilber-
force became 80 absorbed in conversation
in evening companies AS 10 forget himself.
He would lift himself from his chair in his
earnestness, move forward n little, and
gradually approach p%erilously near to the
edge. 1t was a tradition in fashionable
English circles that he had fallen several
times to the floor. But in families where
he was loved IL was the custom to station
one of the older children behind his chair
TO move IL forward MS he moved, and guard
him against peril. Some who afterward
beanie leaders in English society retained
among the pleasant memories of child
hood recollection of the services rendered
to the brilliant and eloquent converser.

A close observer of birds and their hab-
its is convinced hat the peculiar sound
made by n woodpecker with its bill is in
tended as a substitute for vocal music, the
bird selecting one particular spot upon the
trunk or bough of the tree, which spot is
naturally sonorous by the wood being
more or less followed by decay. The bird
returns to this precise spot continually
during the day, and produces the sound by
striking on the tree with its bill, the stroke
being repeated with a rapidity that is re-
ally incomprehensible, for it quite eludes
the eye. 1t is effected by a vibratory mo-
ton of the head, but the vibrations are so
quick they look like a single motion.
After short pauses this stroke is again and
again renewed, sometimes for several min
utes together. During each interval the
woodpecker looks round it and below it
with evident delight and with an apparent
challenge of admiration. The beautiful
crimson crest is more or less erected. The
whole performance evidently takes the
place of song in other birds. The nest is
not in the same tree rs that struck by the
bill of the male. Similar sonorous spots
in the trees of the neighborhoOd are
selected if available, so the observer
concludes the hen bird as she sits on
the nest is serenaded from different di-
~rections witk as much variety in the sound
as the change of tree may produce. This
is the only case among the feathered tribes
where instrumental music is practiced.

Mineral wool or silicate cotton is one of
hose curious and unexpected inventions
arising from the ever increasing efforts of
modern science to utilize the waste mate
rial of industry. 1t was first manufnctur-
ed in large quantities in one of the large
gun factories Of Krupp, in Essen, n large
town of Prussia, on the Rhine, where such
immense quantities of mineral refuse or
Stag" had accumulated year after year
that how to get rid of it became n serious
problem. 1t had formed quite respecta-
ole sized mountains, when some II con-
ceived the idea of experimenting with it,
and found by the action of hot air and
jets of steam under the pressure of three
or four atmospheres, blown upon the Stag
when nearly at n white heat, it became
transformed into a light, coherent spongy
su ~bstance, something between wool and
grey cotton wadding in appearance, and
capable of being purified 80 MS to become
as white as wool. 1t is of course, perfect
ly in~combustible. 1t is also n bad conduc-
tor of heat, and relatively cheap; about n
cent and a half n pound or about So n Gu
bic yard. 1t will probably become cheap
or as the supply increases.
Its uses are many and varied. 1t makes
excellent coverings for forcing beds, wraps
for water pipes and faucets to protect from
frost. In building it is especially valua-
BILE. Placed between the outer and inner
surfaces of walls it is a most excellent pro-
lection against the cold of winter and the
heat of summer; while for the stufing of
partition walls and floors it is the most eff
tective deadener of sound yet discovered.
1t is lighter and less expensive thar most
substances used for this purpose, and has
the great advantage of being inaccessible
to mice as well as preventing the spread
of flames in case of fire. 1t is not water
proof, but is made so when required, by
it under heat with bituminous or
resinous matter. The demand for this ma
terial is increasing, but its manufacture in
this country is controlled by parties who
hold patents thereon.-HduStridl Nelps.
