Stunning their active state. These little creatures
in their motile state are exceedingly beautiful
objects under microscope, having the most eX-
quisite and graceful motions. Sometimes a
number of them are in view at once and look ike
little fairies engaged in series Of the most am
mated and exquisite waltzes gracefully bowing'
whirling and moving round and round each other
in various directions. Standing vertically, they
whirl around very rapidly while the upper end
sways around in a circle, and at the same time
the animal progresses forward, the several mo
tions being almost identical with those OF q
spinning top after it begins to slacken speed.
There are several species Of this animal, but
the above is, probably, the most beautiful ana
graceful in its motions
Sometimes it is desired to preserve such OBJ
jects as | have been describing. This can be
only mperfectly done, yet with such degree OF
success as TO enable us to keep them number
of months, or ever years, for the purposes OF
study. The best means l have yet practlcedr or
found, is the following Take three grains OF
iodide of potassium and dissolve it In one ounce
of pure water; add to this solution one grain OF
best iodine crystals, and, after dissolved, IL Is
ready for use Prepare glass cell by running
a ring of liquid marine glue, or gum shellac, or
other cement on glass slide, into this cell, when
sufficiently firm, put minute drop OF the water
containing the animal to be preserved. and after
standing quiet for few minutes, add about one
half as much of the iodine solution and cover
with a thin glass cover, which fasten
in place with any suitable cement
The iodine solution kills the animal
instantaneously before it can have time
to effect any changes in the position of its tagel-
la clia or other parts. Thus prepared they
will lose some of their natural color, and be-
come somewhat stained but afford excellent
objects for study. By letting the iodine solu-
ton under the cover of a slide containing
living infusoria while under observation, the
instantaneous work of death may be observed.
Suddenly as thought the fairy motion ceases and
the little life that worked so charmingly is fled,
no more to be recalled, the animal having quit
off in the midst of stroke of its tiny ella, or
flagellum as quick as a flash of lightning. Yet
we can not see what has fed. There is much
food here for reflection.

ELECTRICITY for Lion.Tamers.

''The latest application of electricity is an in
venton made in the interests of lion tanners
which consists of an apparatus of great power
shaped like stick, about three and half feet
in length M. Rauspach, the inventor, is n lion
tanner himself, who has been a good deal wor-
ried during long and successful professional
career He has already experimental with it
upon the denizens of the cages his menagerie
and relates the different effects upon the brutes
Three of his lions receiving the shock imme-
diately showed signs Of the greatest terror They
were seized with trembling and growled fitfully.
The tiger more quickly subdued, became
stupefed and crOuched in a corner Of the cage.
Bruin was more refractory to electricity,
which seemed scarcely to affect him. He would
growl and show his teeth, and was subdued only
after repeated discharges. The most astonish
ing effects, however, were perceptible in the boa
constructor On receiving the discharge the
specimen from Cayenne nearly twenty feet in
length, became at once paralyzed, and remained
motionleSs for six hours afterward When he
recovered he showed signs of numbness for three
whole days Finally the elephant, on being
electrified by a touch of the stick upon the tip
of his trunk, set up a series of wild cries, and
became strange that the tanner feared the
brute would break its heavy iron chain. M.
Rauspach is said to intend addressing paper
upon the experiments to the Academy of Sci
ences. His discovery, in time. will be applied to
human beings, and a flash of electricity will be
prescribed a certain cure for bad temper.
What would we not give to silence some people

A Great Russian Air-ship.

Pail Mall Gazette.
The centenary of the ascent of the first bal
loon in Englands brings us news that the
second trial of aeronauts at Mendon has resulted
in a failure The expectations of those who hope
to steer balloons must be turned from
France to Russia, where Captain Koztowitz, the
Russian aeronaut, is quite confident that he has
solved the problem by a balloon which is at
present being constructed at St Petersburg. 1t
is of the shape of a huge cigar, driven by a
screw, but is also provided with sails.
The inventor calculates that his air-ship will
be able to make l60 miles an hour, with an equip
age of sixteen mon, 10, 900 pounds ballast, and
an engine of fifty horse power. The balloon,
with it's appurtenances, will be 200 feet long,
eighty feet high, and will probably make its first
excursion from st. Petersburg at the end Of this
month. The odds, however, are a thousand to
one against Captain Koztowitz.

Anspach, became in consequence of high living
afflicted with a very painful form of liver dis
ease He suffered from the presence of gravel
in his gall bladder. His suferines were terrible

no avail. At last it was decided to apply to a
