Electricity.

Emerson says that language is fossil
poetry and Mr.. Park Benjamin in a re-
cent book on electricity thinks he has
found in one of these fossils the clew to
the discovery of electricity, which he
credits to the women of Syria. Their
wheels were made of amber, to which
they gave the name of the clutcher, "
and Mr.. Benjamin thinks this must
have been because they noticed that it
drew to itself the dust or bits of leaves
or chaff, or even the light fringe of their
clothing. This was because the amber
became electrified by rubbing against
their loose garments as the spindle de-
scended. He says:
"The spinner easily saw this because
the chat would leap up to the excited
resin and, moreover, unless she were
careful, the dust and other substances so
attracted would become entangled in
her thread. Therefore she called her am
Der spindle the clutcher, for it seemed to
seize those light bodies as if it had in
visible talons which not only grasped,
but held. This was probably the first in
telligent observation Of an electrical eff

Treo Climbing Rabbits.

The London Field has an item that is
likely to call out u discussion among
English correspondents Of that paper. A
man writes that "when shooting with a
friend in Banffshire last December my
friend called out, There's q rabbit up
treel' Sure enough one was there at
least ten feet from the ground. The tree
was an upright fir, and the man had
seen the rabbit run up the smooth bark
as easily as u squirrel. The rabbit stop
ped OH the first branch to look down.
What is more, there is lot Of
blown timber i'll the wood, and sup
pose the rabbits have got accustomed to
climbing on it, for l have often seen
them jump on to root and run up the
slanting trunk till they were sometimes
Is feet from the ground, " which must
have been dizzy height for an animal
of such ground habits
Corroborative letters will probably
come in, and rabbits will have an es-
tablished reputation as climbers 1t is
said that in Australia the imported rab-
bits have begun to develop hooked
claws, with the aid Of which they are
able to climb the rabbit proof fences
A large number Of animals with hab-
its acquired because Of environment
have been noted from time to time
foxes that climb trees, rats that are
beasts Of prey, birds that build nests
adapted to certain conditions, and so
on indefinitely.

The holly in Germany is called Christ

ing that it was of this plant that the
crown of thorns was made. In France
the honor is assigned to the hawthorn,

In Spain the legend assigns the honor
to the bramble. An old Scotch legend
