one end to a larger body, and the whole
thing stood over a delicate scale that was
cut on the class slide, and aa the ani-
mals rushed along they struck the par-
tition or hand and pushed it round the

"What was the result j''
"Well, to tell the truth, the first one
that came along broke down the parti-
tion, and I haven't been able to adjust
it again. When I do I'll let you know.
I haven't sold any stock yet, and haven't
even applied for a patent, so the general
public won't suffer. I have in hand
another instrument, with which I intend
to measure the movements of the wings
and legs of insects per minute and sec-
ond, and I think they can be photo-
graphed as well as the feet of a trotter
while in motion. This will be fine work,
as with • simple instrument I have
shown that the wings of a common house
fly move more than '00tintesper second,
and the machine lost more than half the
vibrations. I have watched a fry for
five minutes hanging almost in one spot
under a chandelier. kept up by the con-
tinuous movement of de wings, and es-
timated that the operation required over
100,0.0 beats of the wings, or over 400
a second, or 800 simple oscillations, and
the house fly is not as lively as some
others of the tribe, 1 have, in following
wild bees to find their neat, I found that
they are often on the wing thirty•five
minutes in forty five, the allowance be-
ing for the time in which they are on
flowers, and during that period they
must have beat their wings 342,000
times. A spider can bind a Ay securely,
winding twenty or thirty cables of silk
about it in less than a second and a half.
These rapid movemeuts show the won-
derful physical powers of small animals.
Here are some contrivances to measure
the strength of beetles and large in•
sects.
One was a large box. sanded on the
bottom, with glass sides. At the end
was a small friction wheel, over which
ran a silken thread. on one end s
attachedattach.a tissue paper receptacle for
weights, and the .other was tied in a
e:ip noon. A large black ant was taken
front around
froa flask, the noose caught arun d
hie body, and, on being released, rushed
away up the miniature street, hoisting
the seals and three grains ,of corn with
the greatest Mee. A small red ant was
then brought nut, and after several false
starts and showing evidence if • decid-
sdly'mulish disposition, it ran on, hoist.

the dud Tory organ is frank enough to
any, as domot with the object of encour-
aging the upponeeta of Mr. Mowat to
make • dead set on his Guveroment,
that "they never had a better opportun-
ity of taking from him and his party
that great maze of patronage and that
large measures of power which he has
sand without scruple for partisan pur-
poses and for the hindering of the suc-
cess of the Dominion Government and
the National Polity." Mr. Mowat has
nothing to do with the arranging ,of the
tariff, and therefore has no power to in-
terfere with the National Policy. But
the fact that '.he National Policy is drag-
ged in once more shows that the Con
servatives are still conjuring with that
cry and intend to pull it in by the heels
to the coming contest. They seem to
have little else to fall back upon. But
the most significant remark made by the
organ is that this is the time to make a
dash for "a great mass of patronage and
a large measure of power." This is the
platform. It has only two planks,
One is patronage and the other is power.
