THE NATURE oF ETHER.

If any reader is disposed to object to
 the assumption of medium behaving in such very different ways with regard
 to motions of different speeds, it may assist in convincing him that the objec- tion is not a valid one to direct his at tention to the similar behavior of such a familiar substance as pitch. In mode rately cold weather this, material has all the appearance of a solid, and will resist a blow or momentary heavy pressure. If, however a denser body than the pitch. such as a bullet, for example, be laid upon it's surface, it will gradually sink until it rests upon whatever is supporting the pitch, T., on the other hand, the pitch is placed upon a less dense body, such as cork, the latter will float up through it in the course of time. The pitch, therefore, exposes great resistance to rapid mo- ton, but the smallest pressure causes it to give way if sufficient time is al- owec.-KnoWledge

 After his own car follow others em-

 more processons, similar in their style
 and their significance, the one organ
 ized by the Pickwick club, the other by
 the Boston club, these being the chief clubs in the city. And at sight of each
 car, as it approaches along the now
 brilliantly illuminated streets the plau-
 dits of the enraptured people burst out in ever fresh appreciation It all comes to them as a novelty, for each year the scheme of the processions and the em-
 blematic adornment of the cars are diff ferent, and the greatest secrecy en- ishrouds the arrangements, extending even to the identity of the Folly King himself who is not known, except to the initiated few, until he is revealed to | their admiration on his triumphal car. We have nothing in sober England to match it, nothing to approach it.
