The Winter Sleep of the Canadian Jump

In the course of an interesting article on
"Sleeping through the Winter," the Stan

tion was made in Canada by General Davies
on the profound winter sleep of the jumping
mouse, and published with a picture, in the
"Linnean Transaotions" for 1797. The

MALTA.
The Fortress Which Fuentes Great Britain
to Make,'ihe'1Hetliterranenn a
British Lake.
Next to Gibraltar, thestrongest fortress
belonging to the Imperial Crown of Great
Britain ie located in the Island of Malta,
strong both from its natural situation and
from the zeal with whioh military science
and art have contributed rto the perfection
of its forbifioations. Malta is situated in
the center of the Mediterranean Sea, some
fifty miles to the south of Sicily and about
200 from the'ooast'of Africa, thus perfectly
commanding the ceholo of the .Mediterra-
nean and making ib, when Great Britain
chooses, a British lake, The harbor of
Malta is one of the best in the world,
protected both by nature and by moles and
dikes, whioh have been thrown out into the
sea to increase the 61ze of the harbour, and
able to contain at one time half the fleets ot
Europe. This magnificent port makes Malta
the favorite station for vessels calling on
their way from the West to the East or vice
versa, and Malta is therefore the naval sta-
tion for
THE BRITISH FLEET
of the Mediterranean. As English com-
merce le extensive throughout all the omen
tries bordering on the Mediterranean Sea,
the possession of Malta is invaluable, singe
it serves as the distributing point for all the
vast stores of goods . and natural produote
which England sends to those oountriee,
and simply as a depot, therefore, Malta is
invaluable to Great Britain, since all the
trade of the Mediterranean literally passes
through the Malta port.
Valuable. however, as a oommeroial point,
Malta is still more precious as a military and
naval station. The whole island is guarded
by. fortifications ot one kind or another, and,
wherever a hostile landing can possibly be
made, preparations are complete for resist-
ance by means of land and water batteries ;
but around the port there are forts of Amo
manse magnitude, for Malta has from time
immemorial been a military post. This great
harbor is worth saving to any nation whioh
can boast its ownership, and in the ram-
parts, walls and batteries around the harbor
of Valetta are portions which have come
down from the Pbcenicians, the Carthagin-
ians, the Greeks, the Romans—portions
which were constructed during the time of
the later Greek Empire, additions which
were made by the Vandals, Goths, Arabs and
Silioians. Even the Garman Empire, or
Holy Roman Empire, as it was then known,
or awhile during the tenth century held
Malta and made additions to its fortifi-
cations, After that it passed to Charles oe
Anjou, then to the splendid kingdoms of
Aragon and Castile, then belonged to Charles
V„ and by him was deeded to the Knights
of St. John in 1530. They held it until the
French took possession of it during the wars
of the Revolution, and after the annihilation
of the French fleet Malta fell into the hands
of the English. Bat when the map of Europe
was rearranged by the Congress at Vienna,
a proposal was made to give back the gov-
ernment of Malta to the Knights, but an
earnest and loud -voiced deputation of
Maltese made strenuous objections to any
such arrangement. They had had enough
of the rule of the turbulent Knights, and
much preferred to be ander the equal hand
of Great Britain. Accordingly the claim, of
England to Malta as a dependency- was
recognized by the Congress, and from that
time to this Malta has been an acknowledged
portion of the British Empire.
A POWEBFIlL GARRISON
is kept here, usually numbering from 8,000
to 10,000 men, but, such is the nature
of the province that the garrison oan be
readily increased to any number, and the
first symptom of British uneasiness at the
political situation in Europe is an increase
in the garrison of Gibraltar and Malta.
During Lord Beaoonefield'e negotiations fol -
towing the treaty of San Stefano, he made
what may be called the greatest "bluff" in
history by threatening to employ Indian
troops on British soil, and a brigade
of about 7000 native Indian troops was
brought from the east and stationed at
Malta as a gentle hint of what might be ex-
pected in Daae the claims of Russia were
pressed.
Malta is a beantifnl island, seventeen
miles long by about nine miles wide: It is
not specially:mountainous, bat is diversified ;
hilly, with, valleys running almost north
and south, and presenting an alternation of
hill and dale, contributing in no small de-
gree to the picturesqueness of the island
scenery. Its soil is not naturally fertile,
but has been made so by the labor of ages.
Long ago so thin was the covering of alluvi-
um over the limestone formation that vast
quantities of earth were transported from
Italy and Sicily for the purpose of rendering
arable the fields of Malta, and among the
records of Valetta are still to be seen the
bills, on old, yellow, time -worn paper, which
attest the number of ship -loads of soil trans-
ported, and the oast to the 1armere, it ap

and some of the smaller islands, are to be

defying speculation as to how they came
into their present planes, and by what
means they were transported from the
quarry and laid in position.

The student of social science will find at

Grand Masters of St. John, and here, in the
great banqueting hall of the Masters, may
be seen the pictures, swords and regalia of
all of the Masters who ruled here in regal

Contemporary with the lute were the var-
ous classes of viol. Frequent mention is
made of the instrument in Scottish literature
and documents of the sixteenth and seven•
teenth centuries. To an inexperienced eye
comparing the two instruments there ap-
pears to be no great difference between the
viol and the violin; but the most that can
be said of the viol is that it contained only
those elements of the violin which ib bor-
rowed from the rebec. About the time
when viols were first introduced, a e, ,
about the close of the fourteenth century,
it was noticed that human voices might
be divided into classes, and in, the light
of this discovery we soon find viola di-
vided into the quartet. It was usual for
viol players to have a " chest of viols"—a
case containing four or more instruments
of various sizes. Thum, in " Music's Monu-
ment," 1676, the author remarks : " Your
best provision and most complete will be a
good chest of viols, six in number, viz, :
two basses, two tenors and: two trebles,
all truly and proportionately(suited." Grad-
ually the viol gave way before the violin,
which was in fact only the perfected
form of the stringed instruments, played

Although the drum can nob, strictly
speaking, be termed a musical instrument,
a few words may be added regarding its
early use in the Scottish towns. Prior to
the general introduction of printing the
instrument formed one of the most impor-
tant of the civic instibutions, as the records
of various burghs abundantly prove. By
its aid all meetings of the Town Council
were intimated ; and no funeral ceremony
of importance could take place till the
mourners had been summoned by the drum.
