Curious i:icrtTHnt with CHiuplior and

of Mipllds Toy lloiit l'roprllrd by
t'Hnipliiir.
If wo plnco a pleooof camphor iikvii nclmr
surface of water, says M, Dovaux, In Ln
Nittutv, it will begin to movo about In Vari
ous directions, without tiny npimrcnt cnuso,
and contlnuo thW motion for a long while
lly gently blowing upon It, tho motion may
bo Increased; and, singularly enough, tbo
camphor will movo against tlio current of
air, being apwtreutly attracted towards iu
souixt. Tho samo plienoniciion may lo ol
seneil when tho camphor Is placed upon 11
clean surfaco of puro mercury, pi-ovlously
slightly wnrnieil. Tho particles dart nlwut
in n most curious inanucr, resemblliig tho
movements of llttlo tadfioleH snlniinlng lu
water (Fig. 1). If ft drop of water or any
givasy sulistatico is ndded to tho water la
which tho camphor Is moving, it Immedi
ately stop.
PIO. 1 BUItPACIC TUNUION OK I.HJUIDS.
A curious toy deeudlug upon this phe
nomenon may bo nindo by Ixiuding 11 pleco of
tin into tho lmo of n small boat, which
may bo provided with n mast mid ling (Fig.
'J). A piece of camphor Is fnstetieil to tlio
stern, mid fiirnlshoa 11 motive owcr which
causes tho mlniattiro ship to sail round in 11
most mysterious manner. Tho explanation
of tills phenomenon is rather ililllciilt, and,
iu fact, is not iierfeetly understood by any
onu; but it is undoubtedly duo to what is
known as tho surfaco tension of liquids.
PIO. 2 HUIIKACE TENSION OK LIQUIDS.
Wo know that tho surfaco of all liquids Is
in 11 stuto of tension, like n pleco of stretched
India rubber cloth. This surface tension
varies with dilTerent liquids, unci is greatest
in tho cafo of water. If wo spread n film of
oil, alcohol, or oven vapor of camphor, over
tho water, theso films displaco tho water film
nml reduce tho surfaco tension of tho wholo
to that possessed by themselves nlono.
A Whistling Luuguugc.
At amectlngof tho Berlin Anthropological
society n German ofllccr who has lived ou
Comoro Island, ono of tho Canary group,
described 11 whistling language which is used
by tho Inhabitants. Tlio langungo does not
consist of any arbitrary series of signals or
sounds. It Is descrllicil ns ordinary sjiecch
translated into articuluto whistling, each
syllable having its own uppropriuto tone.
Tho Oomcro uses lioth fingers and lips when
whistling, anil Lieut. Quedenfclt asserts
that ho can curry on 11 conversation
with a neighbor a mllo off, who
ixsrfectly understands all ho Is say
ing. Tho practico Is confined to
Qomero Island, nud it is qui to unknown to
tho other Islands of tlio archipelago. Tho
adoption of tho whistling langungo Is said to
bo duo to tho peculiar geographical construc
tion of Oomcro Island. It is traversed by
numerous gullici mid deep ravines, running
out in nil dlrct t Ions from tho central plateau.
As thoy nro ::ot brldRod they can only bo
crossed with great dllllculty; henco 11 man
living within a stono's throw of another in a
straight lino has of ten to go many miles w hen
ho wishes to see and sieak to his neighbor.
This, it is conjectured, led to tho adoption of
whistling as a useful means of communica
tion, which has gradually assumed tho pro
jwrtlons of 11 truo substitute for speech,

Tho following from Tlio Journal of Com
merce may surprise &01110 of our rcitdors:
"Tho genuino Mocha coiTco comes only from
the province of Yemen, a province of Arabia,
of which Mocha is tbe prlncliial place 011 the
sea coast. No cofttoo is grown In Mocha,
Something over 10,000 tons of coffeo aro nn
nuully exported from Mochn, but no small
part of it Is not tho product of Yemen, but
is grown in tho East Indies and sent to
Mocha, w henco It is resliippcd either us re
ceived or mixed with tho Arabian product.
Of tho coffee sold under the naruo of Mocha,
both in England and tho United States, very
llttlo is grown iu Yemen. Some comes from
tho East Indies, uiul other jiortlons como from
Africa, and evcu from Brazil. A British
writer declares that not a kernel of the Utt

Ail Improved method of distributing oil ou
