EGYPTIAN OBELIsIxS.

1t may interest some of our readers to
know that there are in existence rather
more than forty Egyptian obelisks. Of
these England possesses seven, America
one, Germany one, France two, Italy
GnclUding Rome, which has twelve)
seventeen, and Constmtinople two.
The remainder. many of which are fall
len or broken, are still in Egypt.
Widely different are the dimensions of
these. The smallest is the Lepsius obe-
lisk III the Royal Museum at Berlin.
which is two feet one and a half inches
high, and weighs two hundred pounds;
the largest, the unfinished obelisk of
Assouan, still in the quarries at Syene
the estimated weight Of which is rather
more than one and half million pounds
One million and twenty thousand pounds
is the weight of the largest Obelisk now
standing This is known as the Vatican
obelisk, and was removed by orders of
Sixtus V. .15S5--6, from the circus of Nero to
the site on the Square of st. Peter it now
occupies; one of the two obelisks of
Luxor, that which has been removed to
Paris, comes seventh. with 498, 600 lbs,
of weight the New York obelisk stands
ninth, with AS, 600, and the Thomas
Embankment obelisk tenth, with 41s,-
600 pounds. Smaller English obelisks
nre, one at Corfe Castle, weighing 49,
600 pounds, a second at Alnwick, Weigh
ing COG pounds, and one at Zion House,
concerning which nothing is known.
A pyramidion is in existence at Wan
steac, and in the British Museum are
some fragments of obelisks.

TIIiD NEW NAMES.

In some old fashianed families the
practice still prevails Of retaining the
same set OF Christian names from gener-
alton to generation, with the natural re-
suit that eac1 member of one of these
families is constantly subjected to the
inconvenience of being mistaken for his
father or his cousin. In the giving of
names, considerations of sentiment
ought always to give way to those Of
convenience. 1t is satisfactory to OBJ.
serve that the very commOnest of our
Christian names are fast losing their
excessive popularity, and that the GUS
tom of giving double names, and that of
using surnames as Christian names are
decidedly becoming more general.
These useful Innovations are especially
to be recommended to the Smiths, the
Browns, the JOneses, and all other pos
SCISSORS of excessively common surnames.
We may reasonably hope that, i'll gem
Grafton OF two. there may be no longer
any plain John Smiths to lament the
inconvenience of bearing name which
is practically nOname at ALL" Although
as rule it is well to avoid anything
very eccentric OF unusual IN the choice
of a Christian name, it may fairly be
allowed that those families which have
extremely common srnames are en-
titled to a dispensation from the gen.
eral law.

WILD ANIMALS IN WINTER.

One of natures most important
methods of preserving animal life is by
Information. The lower animals, as in.
sects and some reptiles become to all
appearance entirely dormant, live with
out essential change during the cold
winter, and wake to active life only
when food is again ready for them.
Others like the wood-chuclz, after grow.
ing fat on the abundant food of autumn.
roll themselves up i'll nest and sleep.
Vital action is lowered, they consume
but little oxygen, and live upon the
stores of fat with which they went into
winter quarters. The black bear gen.
orally hibernates in caves and under old
tree tops, but he is never so sleepy that
he is not ready for battle if disturbed;
and farther south, he does not hibernate
at all. In New England he grows fat
on green corn, roots and nuts in the fall,
and so he has had the credit of growing
fat by sucking his paws" This old
notion is only an illustration of theories
IL mechanic life that something can come
Of nothing. The truth about the bear is
that he grows thin every day be lies in
his den.
The third general method of preserv-
ing the species through winter is by mi
grafton, as best seen among birds, but
practiced also by some Of the higher
manuals.
AS the autumn advances, many of the
smaller birds from our midst and from
the far north quietly make their way
south, to find warmer weather and new
stores of food for the winter months.
Others assemble in focks, and seem to
have grave consultations over the pro-
Jected journey. The metallic note of
the Wild goose comes to us from among
the clouds as, night and day, the focks
wend their way i'll long lines to the south.
Long before they appear with us, they
collect their broOds i'll the lakes and
bays near their breeding places and seem
to be organizing for the long fight
which most of them are to take for the
first time to land that most of them
have never seen for of every flock that
starts from most Of their northern rest
ing-places the larger part are young,
and have never flown but few miles
before they commence their long flight
to an unknown land. They follow their
leader it is said. When did the first
leader learn the way9
We have seen them i'll the bays of
Newfoundland gathering like great
army practicing for days, and then one
flock after another separates Itself from
the great host and follows lis chosen
leader to the south. they return in
spring even while snow and ice abound,

northern summer. In the long days of
the north, and by the unmol.- ted bays
Of New.ouudl1nd and Labrador, they

THE RUSSIAN STOVE.

The Russian stove is made of fre-re-
sisting porcelain, is always ornamental
and frequently highly artistic, hand

is divided by thick ire-clay walls into
several upright chambers of hues,
usually six in number. Some dry fire.
wood is lighted i'll a suitable fireplace,
and is supplied with only sufficient air
to effect combustion, all of which enters
below and passes through the fue. The
productions of combustion being thus
undiluted with unnecessary cold air, are
very highly heated and in this state
pass up and down through the different
compartments. At the end of this long
journey they have given up most of
their heat to the twenty-four heat ab-
sorbing surfaces of the fire-cloy walls,
then all communication with the chimney
is cut of, the fire is put out having done
its work, and the interior of the stove
has bottled up its caloric ready for ennis
sion into the room, and, passing through
the non-conductng walls Of the stove Is
radiated into the apartments.
