mammalia. we must regard it as im'
probable that these prominent organs
should not also have their representa-
tive. Admitting, then, that they are
the analogueS of ears, 1t will follow
their primary function is related to
hearing.
But besides receiving notices from
the atmosphere of sound. and OF the
approach or proximity of other insects,
etc, the antenna are probably the or
ganS by which insects can discover al
teratiOns in its state, and toretell by
certain prognostcS when change OF
weather is approaching. Bees possess
this faculty to an admirable degree.
When engaged in their daily laborS, If
shower is approaching, though we
can discern 10 signs of it, they foreSee
it and return suddenly to their hives.
If they wander far from home and do
not return until late in the evening. 1t
is prognostic to be depended upon
the following day will be fine; but If
they remain near their habitations, and
are seen frequently going and return
inc, although no other indication OF
wet should be diScoverable, clouds will
soon arise and rain come on. Ants also
are observed to be eXcellently git,ou IN
this respect; though they daily bring
out their Larvae to sun them, they are
never overtaken by sudden showers.
Previously to rain, as you well know,
numberless insects seek the house;
then the stomoxyS calcitranS, leaving
more ignoble prey, attack us in our
apartments, and interrupt our studies
and meditatiOnS.
The insects of prey also foresee the
approach of wet weather, and the ac-
cess of flies, ETC.. to places of shelter.
Then the spiders issue from their lurk-
ing-placeS, and the ground-beetleS or
carabi in the evening run about our cot
tageS.
Passive antenna, which are usually
furnished with a terminal or lateral
briStal, and plumose and pertinated
ones, seem calculated for the electric
and other fluids dispensed in the atmos-
phere which in certain states and pro-
portions may certainly indicate the ap-
proach of a tempest. or of showers, or
of rainy seasons, and may so affect these
organs as to enable the insect to make
a sure prognoStic of any approaching
change, and we know of no other organ
that is so likely to have this power. l
say electric fluids because, when the az
mosphere is in highly electrified state
and a tempest is approaching is the
time when insects are usually most
abundant in the air, especially toward
the evening, and many species may
then be taken which are not at other
times to be met with; but before the
storm comes on all disappear. and you
will scarcely see single individual on
the wing. This seems TO indicate that
insects are particularly excited by e!ec-
tricitY,

The Senses Of Insects.

A writer in the New Orleans Times
Democrat on the senses of insects says
there is good reason to believe that they
possess all the ordinary senses Of man.
Lime and Others of the old school, how
ever, thought them deprived Of hearing;
but numerous observations prove the
contrary. That they hear even in their
larva state is evident from facts stated
not only by psychologists but by numer-
Gus observations made by myself.

evidently affected some caterp.llarS.
which attribute to the deliCacy Oftheir
sense of touch; at another time. when
some caterpillarS of a different species
were moving swiftly, | rang a small
bell. upon which they instantly stopped
and moved the interior part Of their
bodies very briSkly. That they possess
this faculty in their image state is con-
firmed Still more strongly NJ facts. |

size. hunting some caterpillars from the
trunk of live-oak tree in the old City
Park. answered the sound in the same
manner repeatedly. Flies, | have OBJ

move all their legs. and spiders will
quit their prey and retire 10 their
hidiug-placeS. Insects that live in
society give notice of intended move
mentS. or assemble their citizens for
emigration by certain hum. But the
most satisfactory proof Of hearing OF
these animals is TO be had from the

which Jack, dropping his victim, flew
up the rigging into the maintop, where
he stood with his black nose between
the bars, peeping at what was going on
below. The little metamOrphOSed beast
began licking himself, but the steward
being summoned he washed him with
turpentine. and no loss was sustained.

rogue aloft, but he eluded all, and when

And seemed to mock at him.
They nodded and they nodded,
And they caally seemed to say:

And you better go and play

AS they rustled overhead,

CuriOSiticS Of the Cholera.

r. G.. Jennings, f. r. A. s., writes
10 the PaH.NGH Gazette, "to call at
tention to the attack of cholera on
Southern and Western Europe now
due. Such visitationS come with more
regularity than most people imagine.
1t is remarkable that every attack on
Egypt is followed by an extension to
England Such cholera is not of the
true Asiatic type; it makes its appear
ance first in the Hadiiz, on the trOpic of
Cancer, in the neigh5Orhood of Mecca,
some times the year before, some
times the same year, in which it ap-
pears in Egypt. In 1881 it broke out
at Mecca, the same year appeared IN
Egypt, and travelled in northwest di-
rection to England. In 1887, six years
after, it appeared in England again,
having started from Hadjiz in 1885.
In 1S4S, eleven years after, it broke out
at Mecca, appeared in Egypt, and
reached England the same year. In
1854, six years after, it was in En-
gland again, having broken out at
Mecca two years before, and spread to
Egypt. In 1865, eleven years after, it
broke out at Mecca, spread to Egypt,
and reached England the same year.
In 1871, six years after, it broke out
near Mecca, but extended as far as the
north of France only. In 1882, eleven
years after, another attack on Europe
fell due. 1t will be observed that
these outbreaks occur every six and
eleven years alternately; Il great out
break happening every seventeen years,
as 1881, 1913, 1865 and 1888. In every
instance in which Egypt has been at
tackled, Southern and Western Europe
have suffered. There has been
some delay in regard to the
commencement of the present attack;
but that is a reason for believing
that the advance will be rapid, In the
other great attacks the cholera has ad-
vanced from Egypt to England in few
months On the 25th of March, 1865,
the disease broke out at Mecca; on the
I'd OF June it appeared at Alexandria.
killing 10000 people in Egypt in three
months; on the 11th of June, only nine
DAYS after, it reached France. and on
the 11th of September twas in England.
1t would appear, then, that the cholera
which visits our shores is not Indian.
but Arabian-diseaSes generically the
same, specifically different, There are,
as | endeavored to show eleven years
ago. when l stated that the next great
attack would be in 1888, as matter
of fact, seven different species. which
descend from the atmosphere at seven
different points, situated equally distant
from each other along the trOpic of Can
Ger. and move in a northwest direction.
The Indian and Arabian streams inter-
sect in Eng As matter of fact,
the Indian, from its much longer course,
exhauStS itself in Russia and Germany,
and in all probability we have never had
an attack of it, unless, perhaps, it be
when the North of England suffered in
1881. As regards the assertion one so
often hears. that all cholera can be
traced to the GangeS, what is to be said
about the cholera which commenced last
July in Mexico. and last January was
