M. De Parvelle has called the attention of the French Academy of Sciences to a curious illusion of the vision which may account for the apparent oscillation !or swinging of stars "sometimes observed, and called by the Germans Stern schwanken. Whtn the eye looks for some time at a small, feebly lighd body, itself being in complete darkness, the btodyappears to oscillate or describe cer tain curves. It is a phenomenon of the subjective ord ir,and appears to be of the same nature as the movement of a star observed wher a person leans the head against a wall, and fixes his eye upon the star. The star appears to be agitated in its place and to oscillate rapidly. In order j that the motion may be noticed, there should be no moon, and the sky should be clear. A lunette takes away the apparent motion.

At the fish-culture es tablishment at Delaford, where the ut most care-is taken to isolate the various species of Salmonidae, a few of the fish occasionally are found in ponds long dis tances from 1 those I in which they were originally located. Considering that each pond is so constructed as to prevent such a contingency, the occurrence is very remarkable, and can only be ac counted for in two ways, vii., that the fish either burrowthroughholesthat prob ably are made by rats and moles, or they jump out of the water and so proceed to -the next pond. It is not likely that they are borne thence by birds, as the appear-ance-of the fish on the occasions referred to does not justify such an assumption. It will be interesting to inquire further into the subject with a view of eliciting the real facts; of th? case. The average pitch of large rivers, ex cluding regions vof cascades, seldom ex ceeds twelve inches to a mile, and is sometimes but one-third of that amount. According to Humphreys and Abbot, the pitch of the Mississippi from Mem phis down (855 miles) is only 4,82 inches at low water!; from Cairo, at the mouth of the Ohio (1088 miles), 0.94 inches; arid above the Missouri, from its source, only 11.75 inches. The Missouri, from its highest source (2908 miles), descends about 6, 800 fee;, or 2S inches a mile ; but from Fort Benton to St. Joseph (2,168 miles), about 11.50 inches; and below St. Joseph to the mouth (484 miles), 9.25 inches, Dana gives the average pitch of the Amazon as a little more than b inches a mile; of the Lower Nile, less than 7 ; of the Lower Ganges, about 4. The Rhone is remarkable for its great pitch, it being 80 inches per mile from Geneva to, Lyons, and 32 inches below Lvons. i . !

True politeness consists in being easy one's self, and in making every body about one as ea-y as one can. To iisiea kindly is often an act of the most dedicate interior mor. ideation, and helps us very much tl) speak kindly ourselves. j i Whatsoever that be within us that feels, thinks, de ires and animates, is something celestial, jlivine and con sequently imperishable.
