The Winter Sleep of the Canadian Jump ing Mouse. In the course of an interesting article on "Sleeping through the Winter," the Stan ,dard points out that an interesting observa- 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 little animal, whioh was a curiosity in the .summer time ilia$ flying g leaps bb o n h the 1ong grass, was lost sight of aboub the Month of October, and was not seen again until the Month of May. General Davies solved the question of what became of it all those months. Alabourer, digging the foundations'( of a garden -house near Quebec in the spring, turned up with his epade a lump of clay like a cricket ball, On breaking the clod he found a nicelymoulded round space inside, 'within whioh lay a jumping mouse, with its long hind legsfolded against its breast and It as l teen them w sunk doe between its beads deeply + .. room until box in a warm placed in a'chi P 1? it should awake ; but the change of tempera.

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 peering from these documents that, laid down upon the ground, the foreign earth cost about 16e a cart load, consisting of one cubic yard. Malta is the centre of a group. ofisletsclustering about it, Gf z I being the largest, some three or four miles away. Gezo is about ten miles long by two or three in width, and in physical features closelyresein blas Malta, of whioh it was formerly a part ; while here and there in the 'distance are small hillocks RISING IN THE SEA, supporting each a little colony of fishermen or farmers, who are satisfied and seldom desire to change their location. Gtzo and the islets are interesting to the arquarian, for at Gozo is to be found the '• Giant', Tower," a round tower, similar in appear- ance to those whioh are to be found in al- most every country from India to Ireland, the Gozo tower forming one of a vast system of edifices once the temples of the Giaours, or fire worshipers. In both Malta, Gozo and some of the smaller islands, are to be found Cyclopian walls, their huge stones 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. To the stranger, no matter of what pro- fession or ca Malta will furnish Nub'eote 11in oldie find the fort of curiosity. The soldier will Ifioabions the moat complete in Europe except it may be those of Cronetadb. The merchant will be interested in the commerce of Malta, for over 5, i .000,000 tons a year pass nside the great fort at the entrance to the harbor, mach of it, of course, simply callingab Malta, for Malta is not only a pealing station for the Panifio and Oriental S teamehi p Lino but also for the grain ships from Russia to Eng- land and'Sonth Europe, Besides this, the (worts of the little island are upwards of £10 000000 a year and the exportsexceed . r y £9 000,000, so that all the year Valetta presonEs'a busy thane, The antiquarian will be delighted with the Greek and Roman' tombs, moiaulnonts and inscriptione whioh may evert now oocasionelly be unearthed here and there on the island, for even its ,hick soil covers relies of every age. to the g V y., Slims= of elobte ma.. _ be seen a series of mine which were picked, up from time to time on the island, representing every dent tory back almost to the days of Homer, for the "blind bard'.' knew of Malta, though he called it Ogygia and made it the abiding piece of some of the fabulous creatures of his ate; y.. The student of social science will find at Malta much to examine, for this little is- land has 150,000 population who enjoy a sort of home rule. For about 700 years indeed, they governed themselves, looking after their own interests pretty sharply through all the changes of government to whioh they were subjeoted. Now although dependent on Great Britain, they still have emwennessomealiewinimmenesitemee of mercenaries to inoreese the Efficiency of their land forces, whioh became formidable' to mob an extent that the Knights of St. John stood like a bulwark between Christian Europe and Mohammedan Asia and Africa, The mot, famous Grand Matter was John Vallette, founder of 'Va lette, whose statue stands in the mar- ket plaoe,' Re was one of those horoos whose gallant deed at once attract attention. and are remembered by the people of nig, and all other oountriee.

There is a cross where St. Paul is supposed to have set foot upon the shore ; a little distance up from the sea is a chapel, where the fire was made when the viper crawled out from the twat and fastened upon he hand of the apostle. Fur+her away in the interior is a church where stood the house of Publius, the scene of Paul's miracle while in Medina, or Citta Vecchia, there stands another chapel according to legend reared over the stone on which Paul stood every day and preached to the " barbarous people of that island " before the ship Castor and Pollan took him away to Rome and his appearance before Nero.

Its streets are curious, all running at right an- gles to the peninsula, and rising from the sea on one side by a flight of carious stairs, only to deaoend on the other in the same manner. In Valetta is the palace of the 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 state. In the old churches in Valetta and Citta Vecchia are their monuments, and there,in marble and bronze, they repose with feet extended and hands posed in saint- ly fashion upon their martial breasts. 17PON THE TOMB OF EACH hangs his armor and helmet, showing them for the most. part to have been men of good. ly siz f.

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 with a bow, whioh preceded it, 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.
