J. UNSWORTHP,
Scientific Miscellany. THe WaLK or AntmaLs.—Spiders, says Mons. F. Hement, have eight legs, but previous to the ingenious experiments of Mous. Carlet it was not known how they walk, The learned professor of Grenoble made a comparative study of the walk of four, six and eight-footed animals. Among quadrupeds, tor example, the giratte ambles ; that is to say, alternately advances the two legs of the same side, while the horse has two gaits, for it can amble or| alternately advance one of the fore legs | with the hind one of the opposite side. | Che movements of lizards, frogs and turtles in nowise resemble that of the quadruped mammals, despite the fact they have the same number of limbs. Insects simul- taneously and alternately advance the odd legs of the same side (first and third) with the even leg (second) of the opposite, while they are resting upon the three others. The three points of support are the apices of atriangle. They walk like two quad- rupeds that would have the two middle legs in common, one possessing the four first and the other the four last. Finally spiders walk like two quadiupeds iu a line with one another ; that is tu say, by advan- cing the legs of uneven number (one and three) on one side, and, at the same time, those of even number (two and four) on the opposite side. Suppress two legs of the same rank, two odd or two even, bul one on one side and the other on the opposite, so a8 to reduce the number of their legs to six, 43 in insects, they immediately b gin to walk like the latter. Remove two more legs, they walk like quadrupeds. ‘There is, then, a general law of walking among liv- ing beings that ensures stability during the motion.
A Musicat Nove.ry.—The so-called ‘* bowed piano,” invented by an Austrian, manfacturer, is really « case resembling a! piano-forte frame, and containing two violins, two violas and two violincellos, the atrings of which are tuned to different’ notes. Circular bands connect the instru-' ments, and are brought into contact with the strings by means of the keyboard. A fine tone, soft or powerful, is said to be produced, but the tuning of the gut strings is a serious difficulty.
An Athens student asserts that Hippo- crates and Galen used antiseptic dressings for wounds.
Bett Cuimes IN a THEATRE. — The codunophone, which has been in use for several months at the Paris Opera House as a substitute for a chime of bells, is a true musical instrument formed of twenty-five brass tubes, operated by a keyboard, and having a range of two octaves. The tubes have auniform diameter of 3} inches, and a length ranging from six feet to three feet. The total weight of the tubes is about 220 pounds, and they give the effects, in the limited space of a theatre, of a chime weighing from 3300 to 4400 pounds.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.
The Telephone.
Srir,—Just so long as the agents of the telephone are severely and invariably at- tentive to it, can it be of incalculable bene- fittothe public. There is nothing more aggravating than to call for minutes to- gether—for even hours—to get some office whose attendant is either careless or indo- lent. But beyond the aggravation, what else dues such a result entail upon those who, depending upon the telephone’s ser- vice, are led to depend upon no other ? We know of one cflice in King’s County— and it is fit that all should know of it —which, day wor night, until latterly, could be arcused, except only by the merest fortune. It is no small evil for those who have important messagea to transmit, that they be turned away empty merely because those who are, in this mat- ter, their servants, prove flagrantly un- mindfal of their duty. We do not know of any other office in our County of King’s which deserves reprehension—not to, at leasc, this degree. Everyone, however, of the smallest discernment, must perceive that when the telephone service ceases to be stringently perfect, it becomes worse than none atall. It is an obligation to the public that increasing solicitude be given to the working of this excellent system.

Montague Notes.
The following schooners cleared from this port during the week ending December 20th: Dominion, Young, for Boston with 4300 bush. potatoes shipped by Beer & Sprague ; Batavia, Spearwater, for Boston, with 4800 bush, potatoes ship by Mac- donald Bros.; Three Beila, Thorburn, for Jordan Bay with 3600 bush. potatoes, 100 bush. oats, 2000 Ibs. pork shipped by P. Kelly ; Charlton Bell, Wood, tor Booth Bay, with 4473 bush. potatoes shipped by the Captain. The above vessels took in part of their cargoes here, but owing to the severe weather they went down to Bourke’s Wharf and Lower Montagne where they finished. Evidently this completes the shipping here for the season as the river is frozen ail over. One fact in connection with Montague as a shipping port is worthy of notice, .that while vessels with their cargoes are frozen up in many of the rivers and bays of the Island, nota single vessel of the large fleet which loaded here has been detained by the freezing of the river. This alone speaks volumes in favor of Montague as a port of shipping.

Ears or Low RanGe,—Modern science has recognized the probability that lower animals perceive shrill sounds far beyond man’s hear- ing. But the human ear has not always the same capacity. A remarkable illustration is the case of Mr. Edwin Cowles, a former editor of the Cleveland Leader, who was deaf to some of the consonants and about one- fourth of the sounds of the human voice, never heard a hissing sound, a policeman’s whistle, or the higher notes of a musical 4 strument, and grew to manhood in the belief that the singing of birds was a poetical fic-
