ftiurfiftt. THE MUSIC OF INSECTS. Any contrivance that will cause two hun dred and fifty-six impressions on the ear per secondhand those at a uniform distance apart, produces that musical note which ought to bo given by a key near the middle of a piano key-board, called middle do or middle C. If the impressions are more rapid than that, the sound is higher, if slower, then it is lower. The sound may be produc ed by shot falling on a board or on a sheet of tin by scraping comb-teeth under a finger nail, by the vibration of a stretched string, of a piece of metal or of a tube-full of dir. The quality of the note depends on the char acter of the individual'impressions, its pitch on the rapidity of them. Hefice, if you hear but a single note you can guess very well whether it is from air in a trumpet or the vibration of a string or of a bell. And if yon can ascertain the pitch you can calcu late the number of vibrations. I hear a fly buzzing, and try the keys of a piano till I find one of the same pitch, and then I know that the fly is making one hun dred and seventy motions per second of some kind or other. They are-the beats of bis w'ings, of course-. If ah insect makes fewer strokes than sixteen pe# Second lie flies' si lently. The humming-bird makes more, and so 4 he (alone, perhaps, of all birds) 1 makes a note. ■ The note of the mosquito that serenaded you last night, is said to be on middle:do or C; if so, you know that the attentive musi cian made two hundred and fifty-six beats per second; and in the little time wasting her song on your inappreciative earß she made as many beats as there are steps be tween Boston and Mew York. The drowsy beetles fly much more leisurely. If you ever imprisoned a bumble-bee in /the flower: of a pumpkin or squash, yep have noticed, then, how fear or a desire to escape has;quickened his wings, whieJijftK4it!iailUy.,n),ake but,eighty five beats per second. The same.increase of action is noticed in ithftfLjf in the spider’s wob. ' T' ■ 1 But the noise of flight is involuntary. In sects do not breathe through their throats, neither does any considerable part of their breath pass thrdugh any on6'channel, for the usual number df stigifiata or breath-holes is eighteen. So the insdct must bo incapable of vocal' music. A very few of them are fur nished with musical instruments* but, per haps more have apparatus for producing light than sound. The eiead.ee among the hemip ters, and the juniping orthopters, that is the cricket, grasshopper and locust, families emit sound. I find no indubitable-eyidepce of any oth ers, and of these the males are only favored with musical organs. An Italian naturalist —he must have been badly mated- 1 -says, that the reason why the cicadce and grass hoppers are so merry is because their yvives are dumb. But among birds, the piale is more gifted with song than the female, though among hawks, at least, the female is larger and Btronger. Avery wide diversity in the Bexes characterizes the whole animal world. Ido not mean that the emission of sound, or even the voluntary production of sound is so limited. The ticking of the death watch by blows given by the jaws against whatever the insect stands on, is done by either sex, and probably for the sound. The death’s-head moth emits a tone caused by some rapid movement, as do bees, after their wings are cut off. Any movement rapidly repeated should produce a note. I do not know* how the snapping locust, locusta corallina, makes its noise when it flies; I suspect that it Is involuntary and that it is common to the two sexes. Nature has supplied others of this family with two Ad dles apiece, they stand on five legs and double up one gf the,hindmost to use as a bow. The shank is furnished with rows of short spires like comb-teeth, and by rubbing these back and forth over the edge of the iving-cover tho elements of a note are ob tained. When one leg is tired houses the other. The sounding-boards to these violins (and in all such instruments, —even the hu man voice—they are very essential) are a couple of oavitieß in the sideßof the aodomen under the first ribg and probably also the surface of the wing-bover. If locußts have fiddles, the grasshoppers and crickets have taborets. These are flat discs with ridges. One slides over the other, and the acuteness of the note depends on the frequency with which the ridges Strike each other. .There is, of course, a cavity beneath to give vol ume to the sound. The taborets are attach ed to (or are a part of) the bases of the wing-covers. The katydid, perhaps the loud est of the grasshoppers, can be heard a quar ter of a mile. Lastly,, tho male cicadas are furnished with 1 a pair of internal kettle drums, sounded' by a complicated set of in ternal muscles. The requisite sounding cav ity is seen by raising, two large valves be neath the abdomen. They can be heard a mile. Why is this musical apparatus given to one sex only? Perhapsin each of the three eases a like amount of mechanism is requir ed for the boring and sawing apparatus of the female; and ah equal amount of space required for the development of the eggs. So, by requiring music of the male only, the sexes are Kept more nearly balanced. They are intended to; he different—not inferior and superior. The chirping of the cricket is pitched the highest, or nearly so, of any that the human ear can hear. In Southern Europe either they or their neighbors the grasshoppers, are kept in cages for their music.:—Watch man and Reflector.

Scientific research and intelligent investi gation are constantly adding new sub stances to those already recognized as pos sessing a mercantile value. Within a few months a new textile has been announced, but a more recent discovery promises practi cal results not only immediate, but havingan important bearing upon various interests. A species of sponge (not the ordinary sponge of commerce, but grass-sponge heretofore considered useless,) which grows in exhaust less quantities among the coral formations of the Bahama Islands and ori the' coast of Mexico and Florida, is ascertained to be ex actly suitod to a large variety of mechanical purposes, and is destined to enter largely into domestic consumption. It grows in very shallow water, and hence requires no skill or labor for its production. > Although the peculiar properties of this vegetable growth were unknown.until with in a recent period, Vessels are leaving New York and Boston regularly to obtain cargoes and the substance, as prepared by machi nery at the factory in Birmingham, Ct., is in demand for bedding and upholstering .purposes far beyond, .the HLeauß.n.o.w.at.com mand for its supply. A 8 a substitute for curled-, hair, add .feathers which f Were too expensive for any except 1 th'e OpiileAt classes, it , seems complete. Henceforth the poor man can throw away his bed of straw, and at a moderate Expense provide himself with a* place of rest as soft and: luxurious as those more favored with worldly goods. , The newly discovered sponge grows in a scraggly form among the corals of the sea shore, and is gathered by natives of the Ba hamas, and delivered dry at a certain price -per pound, payable in merchandise at the various places pf -deposit. A schooner be longing to the New. York Elastic;Sponge Manufacturing Company left this city last 'Week on her fbiirth trip; and another be longing to the AmJeHCiih Patent Sponge Company, of. Boston, left at the same time— the latter company paying a royalty: tothe former. Each vessel brings from 80,000 to i(W,ood.H>s.; compressed into bales by machi nery. To tender this Substance merchanta ble, the first process is to put it into what paper manufacturers call a. “ stuff engine,” where it is cut, washed, and freed from, cal careous matter and other impurities. It is afterward passed through a series of rubber rollers, saturated 'with glycerine (which preserves its natural elasticity,) and is th eh seasoned in ovens and’baled.’; A single inch will expand to twelve.times its bulk. , Thus prepared the sponge is free from all forms 6f insect life, never,'packs, and is not liable to decay, and is much Softer and more elas tic than other, materials which it seems des tined to displace—at least to a certain ex tent. One pound is considered equivalent to one and a half or two of either feathers or hair, and its cost is comparatively small. Eor carriage upholstery, car-seats, church ouabions, mattrass, &c., sponge.is already in extensive use, and is highly commended. As a new commodity, furnishing employ ment for skill and labor, starling new pro cesses in machinery, and especially as af fording to all classes additional means of comfort without a corresponding tax updn pecuniary resources, the discovery thus an nounced possesses not little commercial importance.—JT. Yi Journal of Commerce. THE OHOLEEA IN ITALY. The Italian correspondent of the JS T . Y_ Tribune says: . The cholera is, alas, rapidly oh the in crease, and this year seems more than ever resolved to baffle medical science. In Ca tania the cases in one day reached 500 ; the town is , deserted, the public functionaries having struck. Palermo, too, despite the unreinitting efforts ; of public authorities, seconded by the citizens,. ■ seems doomed. “ The streets,” writes a friend on the sth, “ are deserted, fear and. squalor reign su preme; an extraordinary number of families have gone to the continent; the shops are closed, the courts and tribunals are abandon ed; neither buyers nor sellers are seen on the. exchange. Despite the use of disinfec tants, of all the preventive .measures'that science Can suggest, the disease spreads 'with groater energy and vehemence than ever; nearly all of the cases prbve mortal ; and from, the time of seizure to the time of death barely three hours intervene ; a rapidity, ex ceeding that of 1837 v Biitheftd ! it was' be lieved that dirt and poverty were marked by the r awful monster as its prey; but this year the rich and cleanly have been the greatest Bufferers, and we find the majority of victims among the upper classes, even among families whose sobriety and 'regular habits cannot bo contested. Last year the quarter of the Tribunali was devastated; this year there are but few cases, whereas the quarter of Monte Pieta is disseminated.” The phenomenon is noted everywhere 1 that the cholera has this year become aristocratic. Como, and the villages near thb valley of Aosta, the province of Novara, are the chief sufferers in the North; but it is impossible to form any idea of the number of the vic tims. There have been daily eases ‘for weeks in Genoa'; but the' Municipality insisted on ignoring them; at fast the Prefect interfered, and insisted on a daily bulletin, which com menced on the 7th. Seven cases and six deaths were announced, but as a physician said to me on that very day :■ “ These steps are useless, the bulletins only frighten peo ple! and you do not get at the .true figure ; : .yesterday there were forty eases-, but the.list . of those in the hospital was alone publish-' ed.” Certain it is, that as soon as; the offi cial (Gazette recognized th e existence of the en emy, a gen era! exodus commenced, aud soon we shall hav.e shops closed andbisbreetS' de serted as in Palermo. .-As fori the precau tions thqy neyt to. useless.

Tho doctors despair of finding a remedy; the highest authorities affirm that they have made no progress toward the dis covery of eiiher cause or cure. When any one suggests a method, they say try it, by all means, we have no confidence in any thing that we attempt. In some parts even of the North of Italy, chemists’ shops and the houses of the doctors have been attacked by the populace and the owners stoned as “ poisorrers.” A STAB HIDDEN BY A THBEAD. David Eittenhouse, of Pennsylvania, was a great astronomer. He was skilful in measuring the sizes of planets and deter mining the position of the stars. But he found that, such was the distance of the stars, a silk-thread stretched across the glass of his telescope would entirely cover a star; and,moreover r that a silk fiber, however small, placed upon the same glass, would coyer so much of the heavens that the star, if a small one and near the pole, would remain ob scured behind that silk fiber several seconds. Thus a silk fiber appeared to be. larger in diameter than a star. ; , , , You' know that every star is a heavenly world, a world of light, a sun shining upon other worlds as our sun shines upon ' this world. , Oup sun,is' 886,000 . mile s-in diameter, -and yet, seen frqm.a.djigtant star, our sun could ,be covered, gbseured, hidden behind a thread, that thread was, near the eye, although a6Q tilUb Lux in a telescope.

The Hessian' fly has bemme a general enemy to the crop, but muoh|can be done to avert its attacks by observing the proper time of sowing. It is the eijfrly sown wheat that is attacked by tho fLyJ If the sowing is deferred until after the insect nas ap peared, there is little dangsr from it. This nifty be done and still alliw the crop suffi cient time, to become weH rooted before Winter sets in. We can.fiano precise date for sowing the seed that i ill apply to all sections', but the experienc of the farmer should suggest the proper ( me for his 'par ticular locality.. ■ When w eat is attacked by this insect, its mischief is not confined to the Fall, but remains di ring Winter be tween the leaf and the m .in body of the plant, ready to continue its vork of destruc tion until its period of full maturity in the Spring. Little injury will I e sustained from this insect if ,the proper tlx ,e of sowing the seed is, observed. The next serious difficul y in the way-of wheat growing, is its liabil ty to water-kill. The injury from this 1 can e depends, in a great degree, upon the . obiracter'and me chanical condition of the sc iL Wheat upon any soil that retains an u idue quantity of water, is subject to tlie' gre !test injury from = •this,'cause. Th'e only rein sdy for this evil upon r soil of- this, oharae ;er, is thorough drainage—ah f improvemen that is destined, to work a wonderful revolt tion in American •’farming. ‘ Of'all the insect depr da tors to w-inch wheat is subject, the midgi is-the most for midable. Less than forty years; ago this enemy first made its appearance in this country, and for a long tim« its depredatiO'nß. wevo confined to narrow lijails; it has since spread over a vast area-of jour country. 'lt is multiplied in immense mumberSyand we know of no means by which its rapid in crease earn be checked. . It is, most destruc tive in those varieties Of wheat that are characterized by the tbii nest chaff, the'eggs, being inserted through the chaff into the forming grain: soon; aftcr it haß;gqne...ou,t .of blossom. In fields of wiic;il that come for ward a few days earlier than the crop gen erally, the midge will b found only in the lower and later heads, that happen to be soft just at the time thfe insect is ready to lay its eggs; this fact has suggested to some of the best farmers the importance of pro curing those kinds of wheat that mature the earli est, SO that it % ay” become hard be fore the insect emerges frbm its: Winter quarters. Wheats eight or „teh days,iin.- ! ad- > vance of the ordinary, period, of. ripening;,' often entirely escapes injury from this in sect. Mr. John Johnston", of Geneva, NV Y., secures from: half to two-thirds' of a crop of wheat, by having it ripen a, fey days, earlier.than others, who qften lose their en tire cr6p. This ad vantage, he derives from having his soil drained, and the application of salt a'nd other manures, by which means : his crop is advtfnCcd several days. r In. ad dition to this, he sows the best early varie ties of wheat he can procure. ' , There are othqr; casualties to which wheat -is liable, but the forhiidable tfiat' we have not before alluded to, is rust. This we believe, is entirely owing to the state of the weather at the time the grains are filling. Wet, warm, sultry weather, is the fruitful cause of this malady. Early maturity is the only means by which this evil can be avoided. Early maturity, then, is a matter of the first importance, as a means of avoiding the evil effects of most of these causes. To se cure this, the land must first be put in the best possible order before sowing. Where land is wet, nothing adds more to the early maturity of any crop than complete drain ing. 2sTo soil can be warm and suitable for any growing crop, that is saturated with water. Warming and stimulating manures afford additional means to promote early maturity. Another, and the most impor tant consideration of all, is to secure early varieties for seed. Like all other varieties of grain, there is a marked difference in the period of maturity.ofAhe.differentLinds now cultivated among us; and if the proper mean's were employed, new varieties might be produced, that would ripen earlier than any of the kinds now cultivated. Some of the best varieties of wheat now known among us, have been obtained by selecting the largest matured heads that showed marks of superiority over the general crop. —Rural World.

The method teaches the art Of fingering Tfabre fully than any previous work, introducing new modes of overcoming difficulties, elucidating principles by copious analyses, and thus enabling the learner to understand them easily. It gives very .important, and hitherto needed directions in regard to training the hand. It teaches the true mode of accompanying vocal music, both Bacred and secular, and imparts sufficient instruc tion ih harmony'for those who wish to extemporize interludes and other short passages. ' Its selection of pieces for practice is largo and' very pleasing, for hot a single composition has been admitted that is uot really attractive.
