BY PROF. MAPES A globe placed in water, or in air, in mo ving meets with resistance and'its velocity will be retarded. If you alter girl globe to he form of an egg, there will be less—re sistance. And then there is a solid of leas resistance which mathmeticians studied 'ma ny years to dfectofer; end sylien they had discovered it, they found they had the form of a bead! Nature had "rigged.out the fish witicsuch a figure. , The leathers or birds, And each particular part of them, are ananged at sneli an angle as to be most efficient in assisting Bight. The human eye has a mirror on which ob jects are reflected, and a newer by which these reflections are carried to the brain ; and thus we are enabled to take an interest in the objects which passed before the eye. Now when the eye is too convex, we 1-use one kind of glasses tworrect the fault; mid if it tie not convex enough, if Awe - wish . ,to look at objects at a different distance, we use glasqes of entirely •another description, _ . But as birds cannot get spectacles, Provi donee has given them a method of supply ing. the deficiency. They have the power of contracting the eye, of making it more convex, so air to see the specks Which float in the atmosphere : and catch-them for food; and also of flattening the eye to see to a great distance, and observe whether any vulture or other enemy is threatening to des troy' that'll. in addition to this they have a film, or coating, which can be suddenly I thrown clown-over the eye to protect it; be i cause at the velocity with whielitheif - fly;" and with the delicate texture of 'heir eye, the least spook of duet would act upon it as a penknife thrust into the human eye. This film is to protect the eye, and the same thin, exists to some extent hobo eye of a horse. The horse has a very large eye, very liable f.o take dusts -This coating in the horse's eye is called the haw, or third eye Ito, arid if you will watch closely, you may see it descend and return with electric velocity. It clears away the dust and protects the eye from in jury. If the eye should catch cold, the haw , hardens and projects, and ignorant persons cut it ofl, and thus destroy this safeguard. •I You all know well, if you take a pound of iron, and make of it a rod a foot long, i l %Olin weight it, will support. But if it be a hollow rod* will support a weight much I greater than before. Nature Seems to have taken advantage of this also, lung before mathmeticians had discovered it, and all an imals bones are hollow. The bones of birds are large incense they must be strong to move their large wings with sufficient veloc ity; but they must also be light in order to froat'easily upon the air: Birds alai) illus trate another' fact 'in natural philosophy. if you take'a beg, End hake 'it, air , tight,'and - put it into water, it. will support a large weight, impa hundred , pounds- : But twist it, or diminish the air in it and it will support no' Such weight.

You all know that. it a hollow ball be filled with a gas lighter than air, it will rise and float away. This fact is beautifully Carried out it - I , llolre. The Farina, or impregntiting dust of -plants, - arelittle balls; extremely thin and filled with gas light. They aid blown ofl from the male hint and by falling on the female pant, impregnate it. Nature has so arranged it, that the unc tions matter which causes the impregnating part of plants to attach to others, never oc curs at precisely the same timein male and female plants. Thus it tlic farina from . 'the " male plant hit the male, it does not adhere ; -but if it hit the female, it does attlich ; the balls burst but they are fastened_ and take effect. Thus impregnation often takes place 'many yards distant. In raising Indian corn . you all must have noticed that a single hill 7f red corn will impregnate an entire field ; and red corn WI scattered to a long distance through the whole field.

It if a - tasteless,'•colorlessittodorous limpid fluid, like water, and is adapted ir. different animals-to different purposes. In the hyena, rind other earniverons anitnnlA, it will not dissolve live flesh but will dissolve dead flesh. These creatures live, upon other even bones are isolable .iii- their gastric juice, while it will not dissolve vege tables at all. On the other hand some alai-, mats live entirely on vegetables, and their gastric juice will not dissolve animal food- We cannot alter the nature of alLanimal by changing its food. It will still belong to the.same family. In this particular, bees are better instructed. When they lose their Queen bee—which is an entirely different animal - from the working bei—il youpre sent. another to thorn within twenty-four , hours, they will not accept of her nor obey her. They prefer taking an ordinary grub, before ittecomes a flier; and feeding it with a particular food and treating it in a !Mitten lar way; end when itleaves the grub slate it becomes riqueen. bee,,, : uud, they • always suer themselves to be governed by - het. The habits of ants are extremely curious We hare heard 'of ant .houses, sometimes 20 feet in diameter, filled with halls and rooms of great size and strength.
