When they are few the sound is deep j as they increase in number it becomes shriller and sharper; but when they reached 40,000 in a second they cease to be audible. Light is the effect produc. ed on us when waves of Light strike on the eye. When four hundred millions of millions of yibrations of ether strike the retina In a second, they produce red, and as the number increases the color passes into orange, then yellow, green, blue and violet. But between forty thousand vibra tions in a second and four hundred millions of millions we have no organ of sense cap able of receiving the impression. Yet be tween these limits any number of sensa tions may exist. We have five senses, and sometimes fancy that no others are possible, But it is obvious lha: we cannot measure the infinite by our own narrow limitations. Morcovei, looking at the question from the other side,we find in other animalscom plex organs of sense, richly supplied with nerves, but the functions of which we are as yet powerless to explain. There may be fifty other senses as different from ours as sound is from sight; and even within the boundaries of our own senses there may be endless sounds which we cannot hear,and colors as different as red from green, of which we have no conception. These and a thousand other questions remain forsolu tion. The familiar word which surrounds us may be a totally different place to other animals. To them it may be full of music which we cannot hear, of color which we cannot see, of sensations which we cannot conceive. TO TELL THE SPEED OF TKAINS, Inquiry is frequently made as to how the speed of a train may be estimated. The traveller especially is curious about the speed his train is making and the Railway Reyiew suggests three methods by which the speed may be guessed with remarkable accuracy, as follows: Watch for the pas sage of the train by the large white mile posts with blace figures upon them, and divide 3,600 by the time in seconds between posts. The result is the speed in miles per hour. Listen attentively until the ear dis tlngulshes the click.click.click of the wheel as it passes a rail joint. Vhe number of clicks upon one side of the car in twenty seconds is the speed in miles per hour, where the rails are thirty feet in length, and this is the case generally. Count the number of tele graph poles passed in two minutes, if there are four or five wires to aole, and in two minutes and twenty seconds if there are only one or two lines per pole. The num. ber of poies passed is' the number of miles er hour at which the train is travelling. The year 18S8 has been one of the most remarkable in the records of the signal ser vice ofiice In regard to the loss of heat and the excess of rainfall. In comparison with the mean temperature of former years there has been a deficiency in the temper ature up to October 6th of 609 degrees. A8 there ore less than three months in which to make up this deficiency, it is expected there will be a long and late fall; other wise this will prove to be a remarkable freak In climatology. The record of Al bany shows a deficency of 7S0 degrees, and Portland, Maine, a deficiency of 1204 de grees. The rainf.il! has also been excessive in comparison with the mean of the past eighteen years. In New York there has been an excess of 6.91 inches of water since New Year's day, and in Portland, Maine, the increase in the amount of rain up 10 last Saturday wasg.Solnches. Other parts in the eastern portion of the continent have had a similar excess in rainfall. It is proposed to commence a canal upon the western shore cf Italy, just above Civ ita Vccchia, at Castro, and to cut through toFanoon the eastern or Adriatic shore, A glance at the map of Italy will show that in this line two lakes are met, those of flolseno and Trasimeno, and it is pro posed to drain these two lakes, thus secur. ing the area for cultivation. The length of the canal will be about 169 miles, the width of it 1 10 yards, and its depth is to be about 1 3 yards, so that ships of any tonnage, and even men of war, will be able to pass through it. The cost of the canal is reck oned at 50000,000 francs, that is, i':o, 000,000. It is estimated that the work could be completed in five years from its commencement. The Italian journals are highly Interested In the project and are taking up the matter warmly, and when the fact of the long sea passage round the south coast of Italy and up the stormy Adriatic to Treste and Venice is it mem bered, certainly the canal would be of im mense service to the whole of Southern Europe.
