THERE IS great danger of strike at Pitts

from the existing protective tariff than
almost any other capitalists in the country.

The failure to advance, for what General
Johnston assumes the esponsioility was the
GROWING failure OF the war. hau 'ne au'

that peace would have been declared, all

that was expended been saved, the slaves
been gradually emancipated, and the coun'

for the interests of The several States were
too intimately connected to have permitted

war would ever be made in these columns
if it could be avoided.

SCIENTIFIC.

The remarkable arrangement for
breathing which insects possess Is thus
lucidly described II we take any
moderately large insect, say p wasp OF
a hornet, We can see, even with the
naked eye, that a series Of small, spot
like marks run along either side of the
body. These apparent spots, which
are generally eighteen or twenty in
number, are, in fact, the apertures
through which air ls admitted into the
sy tenn, and are generally formed 10
such a manner that no %extraneous mat
ter can by any possibility find entrance.
Sometimes they are furnished with o
pair of horny lips, which a be opened
and closed at the will of the insect in
other cases they are densely fringed
With stiff interlacing bristles, forming a
filter, which allows air, and air alone,
to pass. But the apparatus, of what
ever character it may be, is always so
wonderfully perfect in its action that It
has been found impossible to inject the
body of a dead insect with even so
subtle a medium as spirits OF wine, al
though the subject was first immersed
IN the liquid and then placed beneath
the receiver of an air pump.

To make a cheap, simple and efficient
battery, suitable for the use of expert
mentors and amateurs /: Take an ordi-
nary glass fruit jar, fitted with 3 cover
of wood or hard rubber, and place in it
a number of pieces of electric light car
bons, hundreds of which can be picked
up in the streets every morning after
the lamps have been trimmed. The
connection between the carbons and the
binding-screw on the top of the cover
is best made with a gutta percha cover
ed wire, having its lower end barred and
wound tightly round and secured to one
of the carbons, thus making a connec-
ton with all other pieces in contact
with it. A piece of amalgamated zinc
of any convenient size OIL form is sus-
pended within the jar from the wooden
cover, aud has a binding-screw attached
to it. The jar should be filed about
two-thirds full with dilute sulphuric
acid or other suitable solution. The
whole battery complete can be made
for 20 cents. and it will give a good
current on a closed circuit for a long
time,
