Tho very interesting discovery announced
by Professor Trowbridge, that birds havo a
jiower of sUi'pliig on tlio wing, brings to
iniml, saysu coriospoudent in Science, that
it is not a recent observation, but wius antici
pated by Kdgnr A. I'oe. In a iks-hi which ho
says was written in his youth, and published

To which ho nppemls this marginal note:
''The albatross is said to sleep on tho wing."
This poem, however, was criticized by an
other philosophic writer, John l'hicuix, who
gave it as his opinion that the oet invented
the fact In natural hietory boonuso ho found
there weio no words to rhyiuo with "toss"
but "boss" and "albatross." This is now
happily disci edited; but tho ipjcstion i

Qeorgo Stephenson, England's great engi

with tho ierHitiinl motion problem, for
which ho consti noted a machine. His biog
raphor describes it as consisting of a "wooden
wheel, tho periphery of which was furnished
with glass tnlies tilled with quicksilver; and
as tho wheel rotated tho ipiicksilior poured
itself down into tho lower tubes, and thus a
sort of self acting motion was kept up lu the
iipparatu
which, however, did not prove to
bo iieriHjtiuiI."

SOCIAL ETIQUETTE.
How tJiinmirleil .lien Muy Cunrul hoclii
OlillKittioiiH,
Opera or thoatio jiartles represent n fash
ionablo form of entertainment by which un
married men lu cities cancel somo of their
social obligations. According to the social
etiquette of Now York theso parties may in
cludo 11 dinner preceding tho amusement nml
light refreshment after it, or merely mi after
supper. Tho theatre pni ty that includesonly
tho lifter supjier is the more popular, us it is
tho least e..onsivo and troublesoino; it is
still, however, qulto a formal affair.
In this iiistanco tho host culls upon his an
ticipated guests and alter roeei lug an nc-
citaneoot his Invitation (which should In-
cludo a gentleman member of tho family, or
a near Kinsman 01 iuo young lady, or an eld
ei ly lad) ), ho leaves entranco tickets mid tho
paity meets at tho place of entertainment.
If tho invited guests do not keep carriages
tho host may send ono if ho chooses, but this
Is not strictly etiquette. In homo instances u
private omnibus is sent out to collect tho
guests.
After the amusement tho pnrty is convoyed
to a ietaiiraiit or to tho housoof a friend
whoroitmippor is lu waiting. Alter Mipjior
it is not uncommon to dniieo it little while if
tlio house or innm is private, ami a piano in
Eiilllcicut for tho music. The chaperons of
tho pai t v divide w lien it is proMr to go home.
Tlu.ro Is mi objection to bitch p.u tu in their
most rollmd forms and usages, but a hotel

inehtie liospilality should hold for highly
