A Ronton journal ileum ops an extraordinary "froft llowc'r" of KiiHsia, which bus bwn pro duced, it in mud, in itoston in a tcmpcr.itdre of urtilicml coll, in the rollowin wotd: rii.s wondrriul pliint, or rather llowi-r, is louuil only on the northern bound iriea ot Hiberia, where the enow ts eiertinl. It whs diacovi-rel in 1803 by Count Smoskoll", tho eminent Rusaittn botuniHt, who was ennobled by tho Czar tor n'n d'lMcovery. H.irsting foni th-i lroea snow on the first day of tneyear, It Krown to the heiirht of ihree ltet, ami flowers on tnc third d.iy, remains in flower lor twenty-tour hour', and then diMBoives itself into its original element stem, lenvrs, and flowers beinj of the finest Know. Tiie n:ft'k w about one inch in diamet t; tho leaves, three in number, in the broadest purl are an inch and a null in width, and arc covettd with ln'ihitesiinal cones ol nm); they grow oiJ.y on one side of the stalk, to the north, curving tjracetiill.v iu the same direction. The floer when Hilly expanded is in shape a perfect star; the petals are three inches in length, half an inch wide in the broadest pari, and tapering sharply to a point. Theic are alo interlaeed one with another, in a beautiful manner, torm ing th? most delica'e basket of frost-work that the eye ever beheld; for truly this is frost work the most wonderful. Tim anthers are live in number, and on the thiid dav alter the birth of the "Mower ot stow'' are to be seen on the ex tremities thereof, trembling and glitt.Ttmr like diamond, the Heeds of ihis wonderful flower, about as larpe as a pin's head. Tne old botanist Kays, when tnst he beheld tliis flower, "I was dtimbwth asoiiishiiient; tilled with wonder ment, which gave wav to ioy the mo-teestatic on beliolling this Aonilerttil work of nature, this remaikaliie phenomenon ot snow. To see this dower sprintnng trom the snowy desert born of its own composite aiotns. 1 wii' hed the stem ol one lightly, bat it tell at tny touch, and A morsel of fiiow only remii'iied iu my hand." Gathering some of the (lowers in suio, in order to preserve the 1 ttle diamond like seeds, he hied to 8t. Peter-biirti with, to him, the created pnze ot his Iile time. All through the vear they were kept in snow, and on the first day of the year follow inu the Court of St. Petersburg were de lighted with the bursting lorth of the wonderful "lrcst (lower !"' Our Inendu in lioston succeeded in obtaining several of the seeds, nd all tlirough the summer and auttimu they have been imbed ded in Miow bioi.tiht at great expense from the White Mountains and the coast ot Labrador; and thev now have the met unbounded satisfaction and pleasure in announcing that all signs are lavoriihle to the realization ol their loudest hopes, the production of the "Mover of snow." The snow and ice are m a large class refrigera tor, with the thermometer forty-five degrees below zero, and the solid bed of snow has already begun to show little fis-ures and a slight bulging in the ceutie unmistakable evidences of the u rthcomiiig ot the phenomenon. MORTALITY OP CHILDREN IN EUROPK. A paper was read at the last meeting of the Statistical Society of London, bv Dr. W, Parr, b H. S on the ".Mortality of Children in the Principal Cities of Liiiope.'" The proportion of Knuli-h chil iren, hi; said, who die in the first five years of age, is very large; and one ot the causes of this great loss ot lue, among the poorer classes, especially, is want of care and attention, by reason ol the absence of the mother at work in tho Held or in the factory, often at tne precise period when the child most needs constant looking alter. Illegitimate children are, tor obvious reasons, alraod exclu Bivelv the victims ot infanticide; but the num ber of deaths trom that crime, he alleges, is in considerable in comparison with the number of untimely deaths from other causes. None of the States of Europe, outside of England, pub lish an account of the causes of death of the en tire population, so no comnarison can be made in that respect; but data have been obtained from official sources trom which an accurate view ol the loss ot young lves in Europe, trom all causes, i an be given. The fact do not at all refer to the same period, but range variously from 18.rl to 1MJ3, in the different countries. The birth rate in Italv and Prussia is 3'i per 1000 ot the whole population; Snain aid Austria, 37; Knland, the Netherlands, Denmark, and Sweden, 34; Norway, 33; Hclgiiim, 30; and Spain, 20. The annual rate of mor tality of children under five years of age, per 1000 of the population of the same age, is in Norway 41; Sweden, 61; Denmark, 53; England, u'8; Belgium, 75; France, "it; Piusla, H2; the Netherlands, !1; Austria, lot; ftyaiu, 112; and Italy, lit. Iu England the mortality of children under five years of age is 101 in thirty large town districts, while ih tho sixty three healthy districts ot England it is only forty. Of 1000 children born alive in Norway. 833 attain live years of age; in Denmark and Sweden, 7:7; in England, 730; in Belgium. 733; Frai.ee, 711; Prussia, 083; the Netherlands, 073; Austria and Spain, 037; Italy, COO; Russia, 003; in thp sixty three healthy districts of England, 823; and in thirty large town districts ot ling land, 6-15. Consequently the proportion ot deaths out of 1000 children born alive is in Nor way 1C7; Denmark and Swedeu, 203; England, 204; Belgium, 207; France, 28J; Prussia, 317; the Netherlands, 327; Austria and Spain, 303; Italy, 3'.M: Kussin, 3'.7; sixty-three healthy dis tricts ot England, 177; and in thirty largj town districts ot England, 3.")5. The records of the peerage of England show that of 10J children born alive in peers' families 'JO survive, ten only dying m the first rive years of age; and tno deaths among the children of tne Euglisn clergy are nearly In the same proportion. But in the foundling hospitals these proportions liave been reversed ; for ninety out ot 100 born alive have been cut oil' in them during the first bve years ofliie. By the English Lue Table, ot 100 chil dren born alive fifteen die in tne first year, five in the second, three in the third, two iu the fourth, and one in the tittn making tweutv-six in the first five years. 01" the Htteeu who he in the tirt year live die in the nrst mouth of lite, two in the second, and one iu the tnird moniii. The French returns show the deaths iu the first week of ape, and the annual ratp ot mortality iu that first week is 154 per cent., which may be thus illustrated: If 100 children just born were placed iu a house, and their numbers maintained by the addition of a uew-boru cntld to supply the place ol every death, so that there should always be an average ol 100 children maintained within the walls, l.-4 deaths would take piaee there in twelve months on the In pothesis that the mortality rate be that of the lirst week of hie. INHABITANTS OF THE IIUMAN BODY. What think you, reader, of your bodv being a planet inhabited by living races, as we inhabit the earth ? Whatever may be your thoughts on the subject, the fact is even so. Your bodv is but a home tor parasites, that crawl over its sur lace, burrow beneath its skin, nest'e in its en trials, and riot and propagate their kind in everv corner ot its frame. The sensation in re gard to trichimt in swine flesh has set tho scien tific to knocking their heads together," and the result is the following facts: Sammies not only iuhabit the bodies of all ani mals used by us as food, but thev aro also lound in abunilaucp In our organization. The species trichina ttnralis, of which so much is said, and whose existence has been discovered in pork, is, accordion to our best anatomists, jouud in almost every muscle of tho human body. It lies all along ttle fibres of the mus cles, enveloped in little cyts or sacs about one fourth o I an lu h iu leugtu, u can be dis tinc'lv seen and examined only by the use of the microscope. Proiessor Wood of this city says: "No evidence has yet bven produced of any morbid intluepce exerted by the trichina upon tho system during life. They have been found in subjects carried olT by 'sudden death (accident), end iu the midst ot health." An Kngllsh ui'thor.ty say: "It is a notorious fact that numerous parasites do crawl over our surface, burrow beneath our skm, nestle in our entrails, and riot aud propagate their soecie In every comer ot our Irame. Nearly a kcore of animals belomlng to the interior of tho human tody have been already discovered aud de tent ed; i.nd scarcely a tissue or an organ but is occasionally profaned by their inroads. Each, k'ho, has its spec al or its favorite dom oil. Oi e ft ecicB ol stronjte chooses tho heart for Iib dwelling plat e, another Inhabit the arterlca, a third the kidneys. Myriads of minute worms lie coiled up in the voluntary muscle, or in the areolar ti.-sue that connect the ttcRhy fibres. Tho quinra-worm and tho chUpic bore through the skm and reside in the subiacent reticular membrane. llj datitLi invest various parts ot the body, but especially the liver and the brain. A little flake, in tenctal appearance much like a flounder, lives steeped iu gall in the biliary vessels. If you squeeze Irom the pkin of your nose what is vulgaris called a maggot the contents, namely, of one of the ln r follicles it is ten to one that you will find in that small sebaceous cylinder several auimalcithe, exhibiting under Ilie mi croscope a cut ious and complicated ctriicture. Even the eye hai its living inmates. With this knos ledge of our composition, It matters but little how many cu'ozoa we consume, so long as we do not see tlietti it is nothing more than all ages have done belore us. We might with as much propriety refuse to drink water, which, however j ure, is tairly alive with animalcule, as to restruin from the use of meat because it exhibits (under the iniscroscopc) entozon. MISCELLANEOUS. Professor Wheat-done ascertained that the du ration of the electric spark does not exceed the twenty-five thousandth part of a second. A can non b.all would appear stationary in its (light if illuminated by the spark, and the wing of an infect that moves ten thousand times a second would seem at rest. No change has been made in the form of th Plough used in Sic.ly since the time of the Komaiis. The solar heat In a year is sufficient to melt a coating ot ice spr ad over the globe forty-six feet thick. The produce of the New Alniadon (Spain) mines lor he last ten years has averaged about two tlions'irid five hundred tlasks, of seventy-six and one-halt pontun each, of mercury per month.

A negro man was attacked and eaten up by wolves in Arkansas, a short time since, lie liad defended himself with a knife which he had used in slaughtering hogs, and killed five wolves before he was overpowered. An Ancient Stk:.t,t. A Boston exchange says that the workmen engaged in digging the foun dation of a new sis-story hotel, in Charlestown Square, Saturdav, discovered a neatly paved space of ground about twelve feet below' the sur lace. It was quite a large spot, and is supposed to have been a street in former years. A Smooth Pathway in Life. A mnn named Fleming died at Lockport, Will couiitv, Illi nois, reccutly, aged on" hundred and two . ears, having been born in 1701. He was never sick in his tile, not even to the extent of a head ache or toothache, uud was never a sufferer trom anything in the way of accident. Money Lf.it in Trust. The amount of money lefl in trust dv will is yearly increasing in Mas sachusetts. Several heavy fortunes left by de ceased persons have recently been disposed of in this way. The late II. L. Richardson, of Brookline, left an estate of (he value of about $200,000, nearly all in trust. A Steam Whaling Vessel. The barque Pio neer, three hundred and twenty-live tons bur oen, which left New London on Saturday for Davis' Strait3, is tho tirst American whaling ves sel to use steam as a motive power. The result of the experiment ot using steam whaling ves sels will be awaited with great interest. Salt Water on its Trial. The people of New London art? earnestly labored with by the New Jondon star and eight doctors to allow their streets to be sprinkled this summer with salt water, inasmuch as that is the only kind they can have. The doctors say it will lie better lor health than fresh water. Prodigiously Behind the Times. Miss Polly Brown, aged 85 j ears aud 5 mouths, died in Wairen, li. I., oii Saturday. She had 8lways lived in the same house in which she was born; never was iu a steamboat; never saw a railroad; aud was never in Providence, which is a remark able thing lor a Rhode Islander.
