The action OF the New England nail
manufacturer in reducing the wagel o.
their employees ten PEE ceat. is certainly
very unexpected to many oGthose interest.
ed in the nail manufacture in Wheeling
Il is more Of q surprise when it i5 consider.
ed that the reason given Tor the reduction
is, the dullness in the trade. The general
revival in business all over the country
and the great nail strike in this section
were considered by most persons as certain
to soon exhaust the supply Of nails on
baud ana create q demand sufficient to
keep the trade booming Tor some time 10
come. But this reduction shows that these
OPTIONS were not well founded.
If there Is a surplus upon the market at
present. when SO many machines IN Wheel.
ing and other towns are idle, what nay
We expect when all the mills are running
ct their full capacity
The fact is people have use tor only
q certain quantity @. uniIs. ~Cbeapness
may have some elect in causing more
nails 10 be used, but this Effect il not
great. Whenever manufacturers turn ou'
more nails than people can use, OF course
these manufacturers will have 10 keep
tbem. The people will no. buy them aud
store them away merely because they are
so abundant.
However the increase in the amount OF
building in the spring will increase the &c
mand for nails, and may enable the mSn.
u~iactureFs to increase their output. Bat,
from what We can Judge from thu past
this can not be permanent.

KILLING by Electricity.

There is now being exhibited at Leip-
sic an apparatus for putting criminals
to death by electricity. SO long as it is
found necessary to retain capital pun
ishment on our statue books, it may well
be that the electric method is the most
merciful and least repulsive process that
could be devised for carrying the SEN
tence into effect. But if such means are
ever adopted in this country the details
will certainly not be carried out in the
theatrical manner which comments IT.

paratus, behind tho chair in which The
condemned man is to take his seat-and
by means of which, as we need not ex-
plain in detail, his body is placed in cir
cult with a powerful coil-thers stands
a conventional figure Of Justice with
bandaged eyes, holding the balance in
her left hand and the sword in her
right. The criminal having taken his
seat, the proper functionary is supposed
to read over the record of his crimes and
the sentence of the law. This ceremony
completed, he folds up the document
and places it in the scale pan, the arm
of the balance descends, closes the cir
cult, and all is over.

Some Variety of Eyes.

Birds Of lofty flight, as the condors,
eagles, vulturss, and carrion-seeking
providers Of the feathery race, have tel
escopic vision; and thus they are sna-
blod to look down and discover their
unsuspecting victims. AS they approach
noiselessly from above the axis or vision
changes, shortening, SO that they see
lust as distinctly within one foot of the
ground as when at an elevation of one
mile in the air. This fact explains the
balancing of / fsh-hawk on its pinions
half mile above a still pond, watching
for fish. When one is selected, down
the savage hunter plunges, the focal
axis varying as the square of the dis
tances, giving the hawk distinct view
of its intended prey always. AS they
ascend, then, the axis elongates by u
curious muscular arrangement so as to
see far again. Snails have their keen
ewes at the extremity Of flexible horns,
which they can protrude or draw in at
pleasure. By winding the instrument
round the edge of leaf or small stock,
they can see how matters stand on the
opposite side. The hammer-headed
shark has its wicked looking eyes nearly
two feet apart. 1t can bend the thin
edgiDgs of the head on which the organs
are located, so as to examine tho two
sides of an object the size of fully
grown goldfish. Flies have immovable
eyes. They stand out from the head
like half ali apple, exceedingly promi-
nemt. Instead of being smooth hemi-
spheres, they have an immense number
of facets, resembling old-fashioned
watch glass seals, each one directing
the lights directly to the optic retina.
This explains why they cannot be APP
preached in any direction without see
ing what is coming.
