The tall Lombardy poplar has a reputation in some parts of Europe as a kind of natural lightning rod. Investigations recently made hy Dr. Hess in Switzerland appear to con firm this reputation of the tree. Its wood is an unusually good conduct or of electricity as compared with others, while its great height and lack of spreading branches enable it to conduct a lightning stroke straight downward. In order, how ever, that a poplar tree may serve to protect a building, according to Dr. Hess, its foliage should he al lowed to grow as near the ground as possible. It should be removed not less than six or seven feet from the nearest wall. No metallic ob jects on the building should be near the tree, and its roots should pene trate moist soiL John Stuart Mill.

Mr. Mill did not succeed as an orator, but then he did not attempt oratory. He did not excite a furore of cheering, bat then he neither expected nor wished for ap- planso. Mr. Mill, we should say, cares very little for ajiplanre. Rapturous cheering such us that which Mr. Horsmau and Mr.jLowe can evoke would, we ventnre flood of tears. The Princess Mary kissed her, and the baby cried. This sparred the mild archbishop. “What name is it your royal highness* pleas ure to command?” “What’s her moth er’s name?” “Victoria,” answered the Dnke of Kent But his intervention was met by an irate look from the regent. The Dnke of York, seeing that the chris tening must be hastened forward if it was to bo got through with at all, took on hitnself to say “Alexandrina Vic toria.” And so the qneen missed being to think, be an offense to Mr. Mill. He i known in history as Georgiana, a fitting would perhaps ask, with the old Roman orator, “Wbat foolish thing have I said that these people applaud?” And in deed we ourselves hove after long ex perience come to thick that applause in the house of commons is often uproari ous in proportion to the foolishness of the sentiment which calls^ it forth. Deep attention broken only by signifi cant murmurs is to our mind far more complimentary to a speaker than fierce and uproarious applause. What Mr. Mill intended to do was to reason calm ly with his opponents, and this he'suc ceeded iu doing.—“The Inner Life of the House of Commons,” William White. How a Bird Regained IU Foot. It is not only invertebrates that have the privilege of seeing the renewed growth of any part of their bodies which may have suffered amputation. This phenomenon, known as regeneration, also takes place in birds, if we are to believe a writer in a scientific paper, who quotes *a cations case of - the regen eration of the foot of a canary.
