 and
 Reservoirs.

The above cut illustrates an AUTOMATIC WATER GATE, to regulate and keep in subjectioR the rise of water in canal, due to an over-abund- ant fiow or to sudden rises in the canal owing to severe rains or storms.
 It is particularly valuable to have such a Water Gate placed in lower bank of canal at such points along it's line Where there are Ravines, GulieG. ArroyOs, Foot Hills Buttes, Tableland, any rains or storms bring down at such points surplus of water that is very dangerous to the banks Os canal Tie Waste Gate, however, will prevent such damage, as 1t IS
 sELF-ACTING AND A PERFECT SAFETY VALVE Relieving the canal at short intervals, of it's plus water, thus preventing the washing away of banks, and causing great damage generally, no alone to al, but property owners all along the line, who may suffer more or less damages there after for the want of water owing to the damaged condition of canal, and while such repair are being made. Not only is it valuable to relieve canal of it's surplus water, to prevent damage and ex- pense, but by it's use the first cost of canal con- structiOn will be materially lessened, as the banks need not be made so high or wide.
 The device is extremely simple, and compara- lively inexpensive Its plan of operation is this:
 There is a pipe fastened to an opening in the vertical gate, 1. When the body of water rises to the level of the upper end of pipe, 2, water runs freely into the tank g. which is immediately filled, thus oyerbalancing the weight, 1, which is on the other end of lever, 5 thus forcing open the Ga$ss which suddenly relieves the canal of a large sur plus of water. When body of water recedss below certain level, no more water is admitted te the ISnk, JhSI6AOEe lJSelI Dy sniAl opening, g. at the bottom; this being done, the weight Overbalances tank, and brings down the lever, which, being rigid to the swinging gate closes it. This operation continues at short in tervals so long as the body of water keeps rising over certain level The lever, gate, pipe and tank are all rigid, and hinge, pivot, Q hori. zontal shaft. The gate, Hume or bex can be made any height width, or length desired. The gate ca be hinged between any bulkhead without box.

The Musical Voice.

Dr. Pegg, Who was once an associate
ii Able List, entertains the opinion
II Il the voices Of singers may be affect
ed by their diet. IN those parts of Eu-
rope where fish is the chief article of
food, there are few fine vocalists and
the voice i'll ordinary speech there is apt
to lack delicacy of timbre and also dig
nifty. DR.. Pegg has come to the conclu-
sion that the food most desirable for
singers is of a gramnivorous kind, yet
they rnay properly include IA moderate
quantity OF meat i'll their daily repast.
He discards the idea that malt liquors
give strength to the voice, though they
may stimulate it's action for "a brief
time. They had better be avoided by
those singers who desire to keep their
tones fresh and rich.
The smoking habit is not necessarily
injurious to the voice, if the indulgence
n it be we'll restrained and temperate.
DR.. Pegg has no patience with those
French composers processing to be sym
bolists who would mingle with music
the potent spirit Of perfume" The
ancient Romans believed that in per-
fnme there was a subtle power I o create
emotion, but it ought not to be used in
combination with music to intensity an
artistic impression. The music alone
should be all powerful.

Animal Humbugs Are Numerous.

In military stables horses are known
to have pretended to be lame, in order
to avoid going to military exercise.
A chimpanzec had been fed on cake
when sick; after his recovery he often
feigncd coughing in order to procure
dainties. The cuckoo, as Is well
known, lays its eggs in another birds
nest, and, to make the deception surer,
it takes away one of the other birds
eggs. Animals arc conscious of their
deceit, rs shown by the fact that they
try to act secretly and noiselessly; they
show sense Of guilt II detected; they
take precautions in advance to avoid
discovery; in some cases they manifest
regret and repentance. Thus bees
which steal hesitate often before and
after exploits, as IL they feared punish
mcnt. A naturalist describes how his
monkey committed theft While he
pretended to sleep the animal regarded
him with hesitation and stopped every
time his master moved or seemed on
the point of awakening.

that many of the entrances alone were
visible, the nest itself being built round
by Others"
Mr.. Gould has given the accompany
ing remarks on the species as noticed
by him in Australia:
81 observed it throughout tho dis
trict of the Upper Hunter, as well rs in
every part of the interior, breeding in
various localities, wherever suitable
situations presented themselves; some
times their nests are constructed In the
cavities of decayed trees; while not in
frequently clusters of them are at
tached to the perpendicular banks Of
rivers, the sides of rocks, etc, general
ly in the vicinity of water. The long
bottle-shapcd nest is composed OF mud
or clay, and, like that of our common
martin, is only worked at in the morn
ing and evening, unless the day be wet
and showery. In the constructing Of
the nests these birds appear to work in
small companies, six or seven assisting
in the formation of each nest, one re-
naming within and receiving the mud
brought by the others in their mouths;
in shape their nests arc nearly round,
but vary In size from four to six or
seven inches in diameter; the spouts of
some being eight or nine inches IN
length. Good Words.

nest, which is of an oblong, elobular
form, and composed of moss and other
similar substances, is suspended by q
narrow neck, and presents one OF the
most singular instances of bird archi-
lecture that has yet come under my
notice"
DIR. Il. p. Ramsay has also given an
account of the species in the Wide
Bay districts: THE rock warbler is a
very pleasing and lively little bird, and
seems to love solitude. / have never
seen it perch on tree, although have
spent several evenings in watching 1t.
1t runs with rapidity over the ground,
and over heaps of rubbish left by floods,
where it seems to get good deal of it's
food. Sometimes 1t will remain for n
minute on the point of rock, then, as
if falling over the edge, it will repeat
it's shrill cry, and dash off into some
hole in the cliffs.
"The nest is of an oblong form, very
large for the size of the bird, with an
entrance in the side about two inches
wide. 1t is generally suspended under
some ovcrhanging rock, and is COM
posed of hbrous roots interviewer with
spiders webs; the bird cvincing pref
erence for those webs which contain
the spiders eggs, and that are Of q
greenish color. The moss does not as
sumo the shape Of q nest until a few
days before it is completed, when n
hole for entrance is made, and the in
side is warmly lined with feathers; but
when finished, it is very ragged struc-
ture, and easily shaken to pieces. The
birds take long time in building their
nests; one found on the 9th of August
was not finished until the 25th of that
month; on the 30th three eggs were
taken from it.
"Of the Australian cliff swallow, the
fairy martin of Gould and other
writer's, DIR. Ramsay records an in
stance in which he found n mass of
nests fastened under an overhanging
rock on the banks of the Bell river. Il

compact down. 1t is therefore not diff
cult to arrive at the conclusion that the
beaver is aquatic, and that his princi-
pal occupation is gnawing. The young
are produced in April or May, and in
four or five weeks are able to follow
their mother in the water The aver
age weight of the adult individual is
about forty pounds; their winter food
consists of bark and the roots of
aquatic plants, especially the yellow
pond-lily In summer, however, they
go some distance from the water in
search of berries, leaves, ETC. This in
offensive creature has suffered long
and severe persecution on account of
his very valuable fur and castoreum.
The latter "a substance secrcted in two
sacs near the root of the taiD has been
known since very ancient times for it's
medicinal properties; it is chiefly used
now to bait beaver traps.
Two centuries ago these animals were
so numerous in what now constitutes
the state of New York, that from 5000
to 1000 skins were annually taken in
that section alone. The trade in beaver
skins was one of the leading induce
ments to the early French and English
colonists to settle in this country. The
home of the beaver was once in nearly
all the wooded districts of the northern
hemisphere; at the present time it is
entirely cxterminatcd in many places,
and is scarce in the United States east
of the Mississippi river. Much has been
told of the wonderful building instinct
of the beaver. Working only in the
night, it is not easy to know the exact
manner in which this little engineer
proceeds, but in the morning the
amount of work accomplished speaks
for the diligence of this builder of
dams, canals and houses, or lodges" as
their babitations are termed. The
canals afford an easier mode of trans
portation than dragging the wood
overland, and arc dug through clear
ings back TO the timber; they are some
times many feet in length, and may be
made on two or three different levels.
