Creep into thy narrow lied,
Creep, and let no more le Paid 1
Vain thy onset 1 all stands fast;
Thou thyself must break at last.
Let th long contention cea?e I
Geese are swans, and swana are geese,
Let them hare it how they will I
Thou art tired; best be still t
They out-talked thee, hissed thee, tore thee.
Better men fared thus before thee;
Fired their ringing shot and passed,
Hotly charged and broke at last.
Charge onco more, then, and be dumb !

SCIENTIFIC NOTES.
About Comets. Comets, If not the most in
teresting, aro certainly the most mysterious
members of the polar system. Regarded in old
times with a feeling of superstitious dread by
the Ignorant, they have now become a subject
ot ever-increnaimr wonder to the nio3t able
sclentltlc men. The wholo history oPcotnels
presents a series of marvels not marvel iu thnt
sense merely in which all creation is marvel
lous but marvels by comparison with all other
objects presented to our contemplation. The
paths followed by comets show no resemblance
either to the planetary orbits or to each other.
Here we see a cornet travelling In a path of
uiuueraie extern, ana not very eccentric; there
another which rushes from a distance of two or
three thousand millions of miles, approaches
the sun with ever increasing velocity, until
nearer to him than parts ol his own coroun
(as seen in eclipses), sweeps around him with
Inconceivable rfididiiy, and makes olT again to
Where the aphelion of l's orbit lies far out in
fnace bejond the most distant kuown planet,
Neptune. Some planets travel in a direct,
others in a retrograde path: u few near the
plane of tho earth's orbit, many in planes
showing every variety of inclination. 8omo
comets regularly return alter intervals of a few
years; some alter hundreds of years; others
are only seen once or twice, and then unac
countably vanish; and not a lew show by the
paths they lollow that they have come from
Interstellar space to pay onr system but a single
Tisit, passing out again to traverso we know not
What other systems or regions. Among the
periodic comets there is one called Biela's," front
the name ot its discoverer. It presents, or
rather presented, 6lnce it has vanished no one
knows whither, one peculiarity of special inte
rest to ourselves. Its path intersects that of
the earth, and it is not impossible that some day
we may encounter that comet. There is reason
for surposlng that the earth actually
passed through tho tail of the comet of
1861. At about the hour when it was calcu
lated that the encounter should have taken
place, a strange auroral gleam was seen in the
atmosphere, but beyond this no effect was per
ceptible. Most persons know that the name
'comet" is derived lrom the word coma or hair,
and is applied to celestial objects which appear
to have a hairy appendage. Modern astrono
mers do not, mdeed. use the word coma iu this
sense, but draw a distinction between the coma
and the tail. The coma is used to designate the
misty, hazy light about the nucleus or head.
It might be supposed that the hairy, broom
like, or tail-liko appendage so commonly seen
in comets is really a distinctive feature of theso
objects. This, however, is far from being the
case. A very large number of comets have no
visible tails. We refer, of course, principally
to telescopic comets; for very few comets
which have been conspicuous to the naked eye
have wanted this appendage, fiome comets
have more than one tail. One appeared In
1744 which had no less than six tails, symmetri
cally disposed (if one can trust the pictures
handed down to us) in the figure of a half
opened fan. Others hnve presented a yet more
peculiar appearance, having, besides a tail in
tho usual position, a second "uncomfortable"
tail at right ansles to the first, or Inclined to it
at some incongruous, out-of-the-way anle. Tho
great comet ot March, 1843, had a tail whose
real length was at least two hundred millions
ot miles. So near did this comet pass to the
sun that many astronomers did not expect ever
to see the comet again, but after all but graz
ing ihe sun sweeping round him at a distance
of less than onc-te:i!h ot his diameter the
comet escaped, and parsed back again into
space. Temple Bar.
Experiments on the Sensitive Plant. The
expeiiments on the sensitive plant conducted by
Bl. bert have been taken up by M. Cu. Dlondeau,
' who has tested the leaves with the inducod gal
vanic current of a Ruhnukorff's coil, fie sub
mitted three plants to the influence of the elec
tric current. The lirst wa9 operated oa for five
minutes; the plant, when left to itself, seome.l
prostrated, but alter a while (a quarter of an
tour), the leaves opened, and it seemed to
recover itself. The second was acted on for ten
minutes. This specimen was prostrate tor an
hour, after which U slowly recovered. The third
specimen wasgalvacized tor twenty-five minutes,
but it never recovered, and in twenty-four hours
had the appearance oi a plant struck by light
ning. A fourth plant was etherised, and then
exposed to the current. Stranee to sav. the lat
ter had not any effect, the leaves remained
straight and open; thus proving, says M. Blon
dcau, that the mode of contraction of the leaves
of the sensitive plant is iu some way allied to the
muscular contraction of animals.
Pascal vs. Newton. The lively controversy
concerning the supposed letters of Pascal and
Newton has been dropped by tho French
Academy, but the question of the authenticity
of the documents in M. Chaslcs' possession is
yet far lrom being decided. M. C'hasles still
adheres to bis original belief that the letter are
genuine; but M. Leverrier, the French Astro
nomer Royal, holds an opposite opinion. M.
Fauiscre asserts positively that the letters with
Paecal's and Madame Perrier's signatures are
both forgeries, and are by the same hand. Sir
David Brewster, in a letter to the Academy,
also contends that these letters are forgeries,
and points out two important facts in evidence:
First, that Newton's letters to foreign tdvam
were always written In Latin, not French: and
second, that he naver signed his name as it ap
pears in M. C'hasles' correspondence. Sir
Vnvii suggests that the letters should be ex
amined in England, and be compared with tho
authentic handwriting of Newton.
Animal Electricity. The oriqin of the elec
tneity with which autrosl bodies are charged is
no lonsrer a mystery, according to llerr Schultz,
of Berlin, wbo announcos the theoiy that the
electricity of the tissues results from the action
of the co ii m on salt which is abundantly distri
buted through the system. lie has found that
the electricity is much more abundant whea
the proportion of salt present is large than
when it is small. M. Bchultz has described
numerous experiments which support his views,
and begs the French Academy to submit his
memoir to a commission.
Bone Caverns. M. Dupont has been extend
inff his researches in the Belgian bone-caverns.
At a recent meeting of the Royal Academy of
Belgium he announced tnat in a cavern known
as the Trou-Madame he found In the1 stratified
mud a series of human bones, remains of pot
tery, Dones of doer and other animals. Amoa?
the human remains is a very perfect skull wits
its lower jaw, both being entire.
