'From White’s “Natural History of Selborne .”
Migration of Woodcocks.— The woodcocks
arrive in Great Britain in flocks, some of them
in October, but not \h great numbers till No
vember and December. They generally take
advantage of the night, being seldom seen to
come before sunset. The time of their arrival
depends considerably on the prevailing winds ;
for adverse gales always detain them, they not
being able to struggle with the boisterous squalls
of the Northern Ocean. The greater part of
them leave this country about the latter end of
February, or beginning of March, always pair
ing before they set out. They retire to the
■coast, and it the wind be tan, set out immedi
ately; but, if contrary, they arc often detained
rn the neighboring woods and thickets for some
time. So^well skilled are these birds in atmos- |
pherical changes, that the instant a lair wind
springs up taey seize the opportunity ; and
where the sportsman has seen hundreds in one
day, he Will not find even a single bird the next.
At the Land send, Cornwall, every fisherman
Bnd peasant can tell, from the temperature of
the air, 'the week, i-f not the day, on which the
wooflebeks will arrive on the coast : They
'•come da prodigious flocks, winch reach the
’shore at the same time, and from their slate of
exhaustion, induced by long flight, they arc ea
sily knocked do'Wn or caught by the dogs. A
■'snort Respite soon invigorates them, so that they
are enabled to pursue their inland course, but
Hill thus recruited they are an easy prey, and
[produce no small profit to those who live in the
Neighbor hood.
Extraordinary Springs. —There are no rivu
lets, or springs, in the island of Ferro, the west
most of the Canaries, except on a part of the
beach, which is nearly inaccessible. To sup
ply the plac§ of a fountain, however, Nature,
ever bountiful, has bestowed upon this island a
species of tree, unknown to all other parts of the
w-orld. It is of moderate size, and its leaves
are straight, long, and ever green. Around its
summit a small cloud perpetually rests, which
.so drenches the leaves with moisture, that they
■continually distil upon the ground a stream of
fine clear water. To these trees, as to perenni
al springs, the inhabitants of Ferro resort ; and
are thus supplied with an abundance of water
for themselves and for their ca'tlo.
The Eagle. —Mr. Lloyd mentions, that in
Sweden, the eagle sometimes strikes so large a
pike, and so firmly do his talons hold their
grasp, that he is carried under water by the
superior gravity of the pike, and drowned. Dr.
Mullenbog says, he himself saw an enormous
pike with an eagle fixed to its back by his talons,
lying dead on a piece of ground which had over
flowed bv a river, and from which the wafer had
subsided. I his naturalist also gives an account
cf a conflict between an eagle and a pike, which
a gentleman saw on the river Gotha, near Wen
ersborg. In this case, when the eagle first soiz
zed the pike, he scared a short distance into the
■air, but the weight and struggling of tin fish
together, soon obliged the eagle to descend.
Both fell into the water and disappeared. Pre
scnflv, however, the eagle again came to the
surface, uttering the most piercing cries, and
making apparently every endeavor to extricate
bis talons, but in vain ; and, after a violent
struggle was carried under water.
The Song of Birds. —Male birds procure
•mates by the power of their song. Hence it
unuy he inferred, that if a confined bird had ac
quired She song of another species, without re
tabling any notes of its own, and vas set at
liberty, the probability is, that it would never
find a. mate of its own species; and, even al
though it did, there is no reason to doubt but
?he young cf that bird would bo devoid of its na
tive notes.
There has been much controversy among the
naturalists, whether the notes of birds arc innate
or acquired ; the greater part of which has ori
ginated amongst those who argue on general
i {principles without experimenting. Wo have
ourselves instituted those experiments, and have
hence proved clearly, that the song of birds is
tnnate. We have brought up repeatedly broods
young chaffinches, and they invariably sang
their native notes when they arrived at maturi
ty : and this without the possibility oftheir hear
ing the-song of their kindred.—Nay, on the
■contrary, they were brought up in the same
room with a grey linnet, and never acquired
any of its notes ; but had their peculiar notes,
which cannot possibly be mistaken.
Attachment of Animals. —There were two Han.
overian horses, which had assisted in drawing
the same gun during the whole Peninsular war,
jn the German brigade ol artillery. One ot
them met his death in an engagement; after
which the survivor was picqueted as usual, and
his food was brought to him He refused to
cat, and kept constantly turning his head round
to look for his companion, and sometimes calling
ihim by a neigh. Every care was taken, and
all means that could bo thought of were adopted,
’to make him eat, but without effect* Other
Ihorses surrounded him on all sides, but he paid
mo attention to them; his whole demeanor indi
cated the deepest sorrow, and he died from hun
ger, not having tasted a bit from the time Ids
companion fell.
Fishing Cats. —Many instances have been
recorded of cats catching fish. Mr. Moody, ol
Jesmond, near Newcastle-upon-Tyne, had a cal
in 1829, which had been in his possession for
some years, that caught fish with great assiduity,
and frequently brought them home alive! Be
sides minnows and eels, she occasionally carried
home some pilchards, one of which six inches
long, was found in her possession in Augus’,
1827. She also contrived to teach a neighbor’s
cat to fish; and the two have been seen together
watching by the Usis for fish. At o’her times,
they have been seen at opposite sides of the riv
er, not far from each other, on the look out for
their prey.
The following s’ill snore extraordinary cir
cumstances of a cat finking in the sea appeared
i in the Plymouth Journ.v 1 , June, 1828 :
There is now at the battery on the Devil’s
Point, a cat, winch is ah expert catcher of the
finnv tribe, being-in the constant habit of diving
into the sea, and bringing up the fish alive in her
mouth, and depositing them in the guard-room,
for the use of the soldiers. She is now seven
years old, and has long been a useful caterer.
It i£ supposed that her pursuit of the water-rats
first taught her to venture into the water, to
which it is well known puss has a natural aver
sion. She is as fond of the water as a New
foundla'nd dog, and takes her regular peregrina
tions along the rocks at its edge, looking out
for her prey, ready to dive for them at a mo
ment’s notice.
Migratory Birds.-— lt has been generally be
lieved that the migratory songsters, both old
and young, return to their native hunts in the
breeding seasons. From this circumstance it is
believed, that if any of these could be bred be
yond the ordinary limits of their incubation,
they would return in the following season to
their birth place. Impressed with this belief,
Sir Jo!in* Sinclair, Bart, long known for his pat
riotisrn, commissioned the late Mr. Dickson, of
Covent Garden, to purchase for him as many
nightingale’s eggs as he could procure, at ashil
i ling each. This was accordingly done, the
eggs carefully packed in wool, and Iran sari ted!
to Sir John by the mail. Sir John employed
several men to find and take care of, the nests
of Several robins, in places where the eggs might
be deposited and hatched with security. The
robins’ eggs were removed, and replaced by
those of the nightingale, which were all sat up
on, hatch in due time, and the young brought
up by the foster-parents. The songsters flew
when fully fledged, anil were observed, for some
time afterwards, near the places where they
were incubated. In September, the usual rnig
ratoiy period, they disap reared, and never re
turned to the place of their birth.
Hodden Grey. —The clolh peculiar to Scot
land called hodden grey, was a manufacture from
the na.ural fleece; and throughout the domestic
.... 7 P
farming districts, the housewives still use their
influence to have one black lamb retained among
the flock, as the wool fakes on the dve more
kindly, and is indeed often spun into thread for
the s eekings of the family, without receiving a
ny nr ificiul tinge.
The Climate, of Britain. —The climate of
Britain, it is very generally believed, has deteri
orated by becoming much more changeable than
it was sixty year ago. This has, with much
, probability, been attributed to the extent of
planting, to the introduction of green crops, and
abolition of fallows in an improved system of ag
riculture. Mr. Murray is ofopinion, that trees,
by condensing the moisture of the air in foggy
weather, materially affect the climate, and that
thickly wooded countries must be colder and
more humid than naked savannahs.—Trees are,
therefore, it would seem, ready conductors of
aerial electricity, the climate being improved
when woods are cleared away, and becoming
more moist, by planting. This fact receives
corroboration from the history of our own conn
try, as well as from that of North America.
Crocodiles in Scotland,---In Corncockle
Moor, Dumfriesshire, there is a sandstone quar
ry, on the slabs of which are distinctly imprinted
the tracks of the foot marks of animals. These
were discovered in the year 1812. They differ
in size from that of a hare’s paw to the hoof of
a poney. On a slab, which forms part of the
wall of a summer-house, in Dr. Duncan’s gar
den, at the Manse of Bothvyell, there are twen
ty-four impre-sions, twelve of the right and as
many of the left foot. Professor Buckland con
siders, that the animals must have been cro
codiles or tortoises.
Slags’ Horns —There is a curisus fact, not
generally kown, which is, that at one period the
horns of stags grew into a much greater num
ber of ramifications than at the present day.
Some have supposeed this to have arisen from the
greater abundance of food, and from the ani
mals having more repose, before popula
tion became -■■ Jr: In some individuals,
these multiplied to an extraordinary extent.
There is one in the museum of Hesse Cassel with
twenly-cigiit antlers. Baron Cuvier mentions
one with sixty-six, or thirty.three rn each horn.
Eels. — I here are no eels in the Danube, nor
in any of its tributary streams. The rivers of
Siberia, though large and numerous, arc desti
tute of them.
Young Ladies for Sale. —ln one of the Ca
lcutta newspapers, the following advertisement
appeared: “Be it known that six fair pretty
young ladies, with two sWeet and engaging
young children, lately imported from Europe,
having the roses ot health blooming on thoii
cheeks, and joy sparkling in their eyes, posses

lery. Scheme, twelve tickets at twelve rupees

ROASTING BY GAS.
An apparatus for roasting meat of every
kind by gas has been recently invented by Mr.
i Hicks, the patentee ot the improved iron oven,
by winch spirit is obtained from the exhalations
of fermented bread while baking. This appa
ratus is so extremely simple and beantiiul, that
a very few words will suffice to explain it. The
gas is admitted to a metallic circle, through a
| very narrow continuous opening, round the
| outside of which the gas issues, and forms a ring
! of blue flame. In the centre, supported bv
s 1 two lattcral gas tubes joined to the circle, is an
upright spike, serving as a spit, on which the
n meat to be roasted is stuck. From the centre
>f of the circle the pipe which supplies the gas
t passes down to the gas main; having acock,
r with a regulating lever, by which the gas can
■j be turned on or off, and the degree ot flame
. produced can be regulated with the greatest
d nicety. The circle is raised a few inches above
s a bench or table, so as to admit of the inttroduc
, lion of a convex dish, furnished with a spout for
s receiving the dripping, under each spit, hrom
r this dish the dripping runs off by the spout, and .
1., is collected in any common dish placed indent.
. 'Over the bench, at the height of three or four
r feet, is a projecting boarded canopy or hood, for
receiving the heated air and smell from the gas
. and meat, and conducting them to a flue, so as
j to prevent them from Accumulating in the kitch
en. Directly above the gas circle is a cone of
s polished copper, suspended by a weight, I his
3 cone i£ two inches wider in diameter at the base
T than the gas circle, arid it has a small orifice at
3 . 0
r the top.
When the operation of roasting is to be per
j lormcd, all that is necessary is t 6 spit the meat,
and light the gas, regulating it so as to producer
s ' only a blue flame, closely resembling a blue
), ribbon round the base of a black turban ; and
. then bring down the copper cone, until its lower
. edge is on a level with the base of the gas cir
cle. A Vessel to receive the dripping is then
t placed under the spout of the tin dripping-dish, &
the process of roasting goes on, without basting
or any other operation whatever beiffg requi
site. The heat produced by the gas is radiated
I from the copper cone on the meat, and this being
. done equally oh all sides, the latter never re
quires turning, while, the heat not being so in
tense as that from an open fire, the meat is nei
ther dried nor burned ; and, cohsequerttly, docs
, not need basting. It is, in fact, roasted by heat
eel air, but air which is constantly renewed ;
and, therefore, this operation has no affinity
■* with baking. The time required for roasting
in this manner is shorter than that before an
open fire, in the proportion of about twelve to
fifteen ; it requiring sis een minutes for roasting
every pound 'of meat before an open fire, and
only twelve minutes for roasting the same
i quantity by gas. As the cones are nicely bal
anced, in the manner of chandeliers, suspended
, from lofty ceilings, the cook, when she wishes
to look at the meat, can raise and lower the
i hanging over it with the greatest ease. The
fat drops slowly, and as pure as water, into the
dish placed to receive it; and when the period ot
, dressing is nearly completed, it ts indicated by
the appearance of gravy being mixed with fat.
For different join s, and for fowls of different
sizes ; and for a sirloin of beef, the cone ap
proaches to the form of a cylinder with a domi
cal top.
, The Operation, when the meat is once spitted,
, and the gas properly adjusted, is conducted, or
. rather goes on of itself, with all the quiet pre
cision of a chemical process in a laboratory,
and, in short, with so much cleanliness, neat
. ness, and absence of smell and heat, that it
would nbt he 'offensive in a drawing room. , A
few weeks since, a gentleman attended in Mr.
f Hicks’s kitchgn, in Wimpole street, Wheil a part
of a sirloin of beef, a leg .of mutton, two fowls
and a pigeon were roasted in this manner, and
( afterwards tasted by the company, when they
p were found to be, in all respects, equal, it not
I superior to meat and fowls roasted in the com
mon way. Mr. Hick’s had been
erected only a few weeks, and was, at the time
' we saw it, not made known to the public. The
t expense of gas is much less than might be im
, agined, the effect being produced not so much
bv intensity of heat, as by its concentration. —
j. .Air. Hicks lias found sixteen cubical feet of gris,
I which cost 2|d. ; sufficient for roasting twelve
or fourteen pounds of meat ; which is consider
\ ably less than a farthing per pound. When it is
5 considered that bread is baked and browned at
from 280 to 300 degrees Fahr., and that meat is
roasted in baker’s ovens after the bread is re-
J moved, the circumstance of gas affording a suf
’ ficient degree of heat for roasting will not occa
sion surprise. We have before described the
mode hv which boiling and stewing by gas has
' been for some time practised in Edinburg ; and
it is clear thtit as roasting can bo also effected
bv it, so may baking. The whole business,
therefore, of the preparation of human food by
the application of heat may be performed by
s gas, and that with great economy, in all farni
lies who roast and hake at home. This is only
‘ realizing what was long ago anticipated by the
late William Strutt, Esq., of Derby.
There can be no doubt that oil, or any liquid
fat burned in the same manner, would effect the
' same end ; and, indeed, that is proved by the
* portable machine for the use of ships and am
-3 Inflatory cottages, invented by Mr. Cochrane. —
‘ How far the art, of cooking by gas will be suit
* able for country inns, may bo considered uncer
’ tain in the present infancy of the invention ;
* but as, on calculations it is fouhd in London to
’ be much cheaper than roasting by open tires of
s coal, and, for small joints, equally cheap with
* sending meat to be cooked in a baker’s oven, it
r appears highly probable that wherever gas is
1 us id for lighting, it will answer to employ it al
- so for cooking. In cities, which are now gene
rally lighted with gas, it will, probably, soonef
■ :ect an important revolution ; (or, since every
! house may be supplied with heat by steam or
>J hot water from public companies, domestic fires
? will become unnecessary ; and, as the smoke
’’ may bo burned in the engines of all manufacto
i" r ies by Witty’s furnaces, our atmosphere may
h c left comparatively pure, and our town archi
h tecture be displayed to as great advantage as
* town architecture now is on the continent.
