TIE u8taral divisions Of .iua ar. YEARS
and days. The week is arbitrary. being
probsbIy derived from considerations
Hrst suggested by the first chapter OF
Genesis. The month, though originally
intended to be the time from one new
moon to the next. bas, of necessity, de-
parted from this idea, in order TO make
al even number in the year. The decade
and the century are purely artificial,
deduced from our system OF numbering.
But the day and the year, the one derived
from the temperance of light and dark
ness, the other measuring the round OF
the seasons, are universally adopted
units of time, suggesting themselves
alike to cultured and savage, and which
we cannot think will ever be superseded.
The year is the time OF the reyolutiOn
of the earth around the sun. Its meas
ure is most easily obtained by the suns
temperance at the same altitude in the
sky. Every one knows that it is higher
in summer than in winter. If the cir lie
OF the earth's equator were extended
right out from the center of the earth
into the sky, it would cut out q circle
there which is called the celestial equa-
tor. Now, the sun crosses this line in
the spring, noTthward, arriviug at its
greatest altitude in the middle of sum-
meT thence it descends, crossing the
line southwark in the fall, and reaching
its lowest point in midwiEter. The
ancients, by measuring the length of the
shadow cast by a vertical stick on differ
eDt days Of the year, arrived at surpris-
ingly correct results as to the length Of
the year, In 450 b. c., DemOcritus as.
serted the year to be 1861 days long,
which is within about eleven minutes
/ of the truth. Another ingenious device
| for the same purpose was that of the
| Egyptian astronomers, who set up a
| wheel parallel to the plane of the equa-
| tor. When the sun was in this plane, the
| shadow of the sunward side Of the wheel
would be exactly intercepted by the 9th
! er, and the interval between two such
| occurrences would measure the yesr.-
| Owing to the fact that the sun does not
| cross the celestial equator in the same
| place each year, this year, which meas
| uTes the seasons, is few minutes shorter
than the exact time of the earth's
! motion around the sun.-POp7tlar Sci.

Sagacity.

Instances of the sagacity of dogs are
quite innumerable. a Massachusetts
paper adds one to the list, exhibiting this
intelligent animal in a new capacity
that of a newspaper carrier. Passengers
on the afternoon "scootn train from
Springfield may witness daily IN West
field an instance of canine intelligence
worthy to go on record.
Soon after the train passes the trap
rock quarry on the outside of the track
used by eastward bound trains, a dog
can be seen racing along with the train
until paper is thrown off by the bag
gage master. The dog instantly seizes
it, and, after giving bark of acknowl-
edgment, trots down the embankment
to the house of his owner not far away.
The sagacious animal is apparently of
Newfoundland and ST. Bernard breed,
and for three or four years has acted as
news-carrier in the way described. Ev-
cry day except Sunday, summer and
winter, he goes to his post on the track
at about the time the train is due, and
there awaits the throwing of the paper.
1t is said that he not only knows the
hour when the train should come along,
but that on one day in seven there is no
need for his services. Apparently the
dog has learned to know the whistle of
his train from any other. for il iE the
road or yard when the whistle sounds
half a mile down the track, he rushes
for his station.

4 Fearless Lion Tamer.

of the famous tanners of by-r0ue times.
and IS an object of general sympathy on
account of his fearful adventure the
other night with his old lion. Sultan
When this beast was brought to Paris.
fourteen years ago, the first thing he did
was to Kill a man. BidelI has never for
moment been ignorant of the beasts
temper. Two years ago I met the famous
tanner at TrOuvilie and had many oppor-
tuuities Of cOnversirg with him. He is
a short man, considerably below middle
height, and of HercuIean build. I should
say he is the very strongest man I ever
saw. He is dark in features, with black
curly hair. rather of the Spanish than
the French type. He makes no pretense
to rule his animals by kindness. He re-
lies on sheer fear inspired by his presence
to reduce them to submission, His eyes
are the most distinguishing feature
about him. 1t is upon the effect of
these, he told me, that he chiefly relies.
His look when excited can hardly be
described without the use of apparently
absurd adjectives so startling is it. He
IS a man absolutely without the sense of
fear of wild animals. Armed with oniy
short prong, he will walk straight into
cage of full grown leopards. tigers or
lions, fresh in captivity, chasing them
all around for five minutes. A few davs
afterward he will pass his head through
their smoking jaws. Snltan was the
most difficult beast he ever met. The
animal would frequently make a savage
rush at him if their eyes separated for
an instant only, and would be stopped
by the tamer's imperious GOODNESS. ard
left tearing the air with his furious paws
few inches from his masters nose. The
other night when BjdelI turned his back
for moment, the lion sprang on him.
rolled him over, and began tearing him
with his claws, when, pntting forth all
his strength, Bidell managed to hurI him
off, and to escape by the door, wounded.
however, in no fewer than seventeen
places. Bleeding as he was, he desired
to continue the performance. but was
not allowed to do so.
