In reporting the severe wind, hail and thunder storm which over Centre county on Sunday night, 7th i the Belletonte News says that along Bald Ea- gle creek the storm raged with particular fury, Atb o'clock Sunday afternoon a hail storm prevailed, hail stones as large as a walnut falling and doing great dam- age. There is not a house in the village of Bald Eagle in which window lights were not broken, and people were m0 tly terrified that they slept but little during the night. At midnight a storm of wind two houses and several barns being blown down. As an example of the damage by hail it is said that 64 window were broken in the hotel slone. The furious windstorm occurred about 11 o'lock at night. It unroofed the Christian church and raised Mr. Bam. gardoer's house from its foundation, blowing it over in the road. Another house owned Mr. Bumgardner was unroofed. Mr. tzer's house was also unroofed, and Mrs, Krotzer, in jampin to save one of her children from a . ing timber, was struck and hurt. It was a very lively night at evillee. The hail storm also raged at Beotia, doing much damage to glass, The crops were greatly damaged, the oats and wheat being all washed and torn out, What was not torn out by the —————— obama FAMOUS MEN WHO ATE OYSTERS, * In all countries there are records of the excessive fondness of great men for oysters. Cervantes was an oyster-lover, and he satirized the oyster-dealers of Spain. Louis IX, careful lest scholar- ship should become deficient in France, bonne once a year on oysters; and another Louis invested his cook with an order of nobility as a reward for his oyster-cookery. Napoleon, also, was an oyster-lover; so was Rousseau, and Mar- shal Turgot used to eat a hundred or two, just to whet his appetite for break- fast. Invitations to a dish of oysters were common in the literary and artistic circles of Paris at the latter end of the last century. The: Encyclopedists were particularly fond of oysters. Helvetius, Diderot and the Abbe Raynal, Voltaire, and others, were confirmed oyster-men. Before the Revolution violent politicians were in the habit of constantly frequent. ing the Parisian oyster-shops, and Dan- ton, Robespierre and others were fond of the oyster in their days of innocence. The great Napoleon, on the eve of his battles, used to partake of the bivilve, and Cambaceres was famous for his shell- fish banquets. Even at this day the consumption of oysters in Paris is enor- mous; according to recent statistics the quantity eaten there is one million per day. Among the British celebrities Alexan- der Pope was an oyster-eater of taste, and so was Dean Swift, who was fond of lobster as well Thomson, of the Sea- son's, who knew all good things, knew how good a thing an oyster was. The learned Dr. Richard Bently could never pass an oyster shop without having a few, and there have been hundreds of subsequent Englishmen who, without soming up to Bentley in other respects, have resembled him in this. The Seot- tish philosophers, too, of the last century ~Hume, Dugald, Stewart, Cullen, ete ~used frequently to indulge in the *whiskered pandours ” of their day and generation. “Oyster ploys,” as they were called, were frequently held in the quaint and dirty taverns of the old town of Edinburgh. These Edinburgh ovster- taverns of the olden time were usually situated underground, in the cellar floor, and in course of the long winter evening, the carriages of the quality folk would be found rettling up and setting down fashionable ladies to partake of oysters and porter, plenteously but rudely served. What oysters have been to the intellect of Edinburgh in later times, who needs to be told that has heard of Christopher North and read the Noctes Ambrosian ? ll Ap A HOW FLIES WALK ON GLASS I have concluded from my experiments that it is not the pressure of the air nor the power of an adhesive liquid that gives flies the faculty of running over smooth bodies, but that the power should be attributed to the molecular action between solid earth and liquid bodies, or, in other words, to capillary adhesion. If we sxamine the under part of the puleilli with a microscope, we shall see distinotly that it is farnished with num. erous hairs, regularly distributed. These hairs terminate, at their Jower end, ina kind of bulb, the form of which varies whence flows an oily liquid that drys slowly and does not harden for a long time. The minute drops left on the glass by the hairs may be taken away, even after two or three days have passed without one having to moisten them, by simply rubbing a piece of fine paper over them, I have devised an apparatus for color ing these drops by cutting a hole in a piece of board, over which I fix a glass glide. Turning the board over so that the glass shall be at the bottom, I have a little cell with a glass floor. With the aid of a piece of paper gummed to the wings, I introduce a fly into this cavity in such a manner that the puiedli shall rest upon the floor. Then, putting the board under the microscope with the glass alide uppermost, we have the fly's feet under our eyes. The insect, strug. gling for liberty, places his puleilli against the glass, leaving, after each effort, traces that may be observed very distinotly, for they are perfectly visible in good light We may discover, whenever the feet of the fly come again into contact with these tracks or minute drops, that they are composed of a very liquid sub- stance, for they spread quite rapidly on the glass. We cannot admit, as some naturalists assume, that the liquid can hold the the clubshaped hair-ends by suction. If this were the case, the ends would change shape during the snotion, and would take the form of a disk. The fly puts its feet down and lifts them up with an incomparable facility that would pot exist if the limb were really acted ppan by the pressure of the air.
