MISCELLA^i KOl'S. I> OIA RUBBER, OR CAOUTCHOUC. The substance called India rubber, or caoutch- \ ouc, was not known in Europe until the eighteenth century, it was originally brought, as a great i curiosity, from South America. Europeans continued ignorant of its origin, until a deputation of tire French academicians undertook a voyage to South America, in 1733, for the purpose of ob taining a correct measurement of a degree of the meridian. These philosophers did not conline their attention to the one great object of their pur- j suit, but among other interest og discoveries, made themselves acquainted with that particular ubstance, caoutchouc. These academicians dis- I I _?

The hete was also found growing in Cayenne, and on the banks of the Amazon river. I has since been discovered that caoutchouc may be obtained from another species of tree growing in South America, called jaumpha clastica. If these trees are punctured, a milky juice flows I out, which, on exposure to the air, thickens into a j substance of a pure white color, having neither j taste nor smell. The hue of the caoutchouc is ' black, in consequence of the method employed in j drying it. The usual manner of performing this ! operation is to spread a thin layer of the milky juice upon the moulds made of clay, and fashioned into a variety of figures. These are then dried by exposure to the heat of a smokc-firc : another layer to a variety of purposes. They collect it chiefly in the rainv season, because, though it will exude at all times, it flows then most abundantly. Boots | are made of it by the Indians, through which wa- ' ter cannot ponetrate; and the inhabitants of Quito prepare a kind of cloth with if, which they apply to tho same purposes as those for which oilcloth or tarpaulin is used here. This, no doubt, is similar to the cloth now prepared with this sub. stance in America, the use of which yields so many important advantages.?Every Youths Gazette. CAMMiOR TREE. 1 Camphor, which is so much used for medical purposes, is likewise extensively employed in the composition of varnishes, especially in that of copal. It is the peculiar product of the root of a species of laurel (lanrus camphor at a), a tree growing in China, Japan, and several partsof India. The leaves of this plant stand upon a slender footstalk, and have an entire undulated margin running out < into a point. Their upper surface is of a lively and shining green; tho under part is of a yellower green, and of a silky appearance ; a few lateral nerves curve towards the margin, frequently terminating in small worts or excrescences?a circumstance peculiar to this species of laurel. The footstalks of the flowers do not conic forth until the tree has attained considerable age and size. The flower stalks are slender, and branch at the top, dividing into very short stems, each supporting a single flower. This is white, and succeeded by a sinning purple berry of the size of a pea. It is 1 composed of a small kernel enclosed in a sof* pul- j py substance?having the aroma of cloves and campor. The bark of the stem of the tree is out- j wardly somewhat rough; but on the iunrior sur- 1 face it is smooth and mucous, and therefore rcadi- j ly separated ..0111 the wood, which is dry and of a white color. Some ravcllers affirm that old trees j contain camphor so abundantly that on splitting the trunk it is found in the form of large tears, so pure as not to require rectification. The usual method, however, of obtaining this substance is from the roots, pieces of which are put into an i;on vessel furnished with a capital, or large head; this upper part is internally filled with chords of rice straw; the joinings arc then luted, and the ; distillation proceeded upon. On the application ' of heat the camphor sublimes and attaches itself i to the straw within the head. The Dutch purify the substance thus obtained by mixing an ounce of quicklime with every pound of the camphor, and subjecting it to a second sublimation in large \ glass vessels. Camphor is well known as a white friable sub. stance, having a peculiar aromatic odour, and a strong taste. Some chemists consider it is a conc-ete vegetable oil. It melts at a temperature of 288 dcg., and boils at 400 deg. Fahrenheit. Its specific gravity is less than that of water. It is very inflammable, burning with a white flume and rmoke, and leaving no residue. Alcohol, ether and oils dissolve it. The only indication whereby it appears that water acts upon camphor is that of acquiring its smell; it is said, however, that a Spanish su~gcon has effected the solution in water by means of carbonic acid*. Camphor may be burned as it floats on the surface of water. It is not altered by mere exposure to atmospheric air, but it is so extremely volatile that if in warm weather it is placed in an open vessel it evaporates completely .It dissolves in alcohol, and like the resins, is immediately precipitated again by the addition of water. Camphor has been found to exist in numerous plants whence it may be obtained by distillation. Neumann and other chemists extracted it from the roots of zedoary, thyme, sage, the inula helcnium, the anemone, the pasquc flower, and sonic other vegetables. Experiment has shown that the plants whence it is extracted afford a much larger quantity of camphor when the sap has l?cen suffered to pass the concrete state by several months' dryin?. This substance was very early known to the Eastern nations; it was introduced into Europe bv the Arabians, but was entirely unknown to the ancient Greeks and Romans. * Urc's Dictionary of Chemistry. THE SnEEr?HEEDLESSNESS. Cows and sheep possess much less of the instinctive apprehension of danger than horses. In a marsliy country 11 is oy 110 means uncommon ior rows to be bemired, or laiied, an it is termed in th? northern counties; and this is still ?ioi# com | mon with sheep, though so much lighter in weight. In mountainous and rocky districts the sheep is by no means to be trusted in places of danger, having none or little of the instinct which enables the goat and the chamois to make their way amongst the steepest precipices. It is remarkable that even upon seeing accidents befal their fellows they are not deterred from following heedlessly in the same track. The heedlessness of the animals in such cases, may probably arise from their being so much accustomed to follow others in the same track,?(a habit which causes a sheepgrazing district to be every where intersected with sheep-paths, about a foot in breadth,)?and when the leader falls over a precipice, the next follows in the same way, as Suwarrow's Russians marched into a trench till it was filled with their dead bodies.

The following communication would imply that the suspicions of trick in this curious process are unfounded. The writer says he received the narrative from a gentleman of high station in the Honourable Company's Civil Service at Madras?a man of undoubted veracity. "One morning, as I sat at breakfast, I heard a loud noise and shouting amongst m)- pa4enkcen-bearers. On inquiry, I learned Ehat they had seen n large hooded snake Cobra Capella), and were trying to kill It. I immediately went out, and saw the Inake climbing up a very high green wound, whence it escaped into a hole in In old wall of an ancient fortification : lie men wore armed with their sticks, Hrhich they always carry in their hands, ad attempted in vain to kill the reptile, which had eluded their pursuit* and in his he hud coiled himself up secure ; whilst we could see his bright eyes shining. I had often desired to ascertain the truth -f -nnnrt nc f rt f!ll> ffli'f't of inUSIti VI liiVi II pui l) Ito .... upon snakes: I therefore inquired for a snake-catcher. I was tolJ there was no person of the kind in the village ; but after a little inquiry I heard there was one in a village distant three miles. I accordingly sent for him, keeping a strict watch over the snake, which never attempted to escape, whilst we, his enemies, were in sight. About an hour elapsed when my messenger returned, bringing a snakecatcher. This man wore noco\erng on his head, nor any on his person, excepting a small piece of cloth round his bins: lie had in his hands two baskets, one containing tame snakes?one empty ; these and his musical pipe were the only thinghe had with him. I mode the snakecatcher lean his two baskctson the ground at some distance, while lie ascended the mound with his pipe alone, lie began to play : at the sound of music the snake came gradually and slowly out of his hole. When he was entirely within reach, the snake-catcher seized him dexterously by - the tail, and held him thus at arm's length ; whilst the snake, enraged, darted his head in all directions?but in vain: thus suspended, he lias not the power to round himself so as to seize hold of his torrnenter. lie exhausted hims If in vain exertions; when the snake-catcher descended the hank, dropped him into the empty basket, and closed the lid : he then began to play, and after a short time, raising the ltd of the basket, the snake darted about wildly, and attempted toescape : the lid was shut down again quickly, the music always playing. This was repeated two o-[three times: and in a veiy short interval, the lid being raised, the snake sat on his tail, opened his hood, and danced qnue as (juicily a? the tame snakes in the other basket ; nor did he again at tempt an escape. This, having witnessed with my own eyes, i can assert as a fact." QUACKBUY. Dr. F , n physician of Montpclier, was in the habit of employing a very ingenious artifice. When became to town ? where he was not known, he pretended to have lost Ins dog, and ordered the pnbiic crier to tfler, with beat of drum, a reward ! of twenty-five louia to whoever should i bring it to him. The crier took care to mention aii ttie titles and academic hon| ours of the doctor, as well as his place of I residence. !lc scon became the talk of i the town. " Do you know," says one, j ,4 that a famous physician has come here, t a very clever fellow ; he must be very I rich, for he oilers twenty-five louis for I finding his dog." The dog was not found . but patients were. KKW WAY TO GMT l'itACTICE. j A poor physician, with plenty ot knowledge and no practice, imparled his trouj bles to one of bis friends. " Listen to my advice," says the other, " and follow | it. The Cafe Je Ic Re gene e is in fashion; i I |?!ay at chess there every clay at two o'clock, when the crowd is thickest; come | there too; do not recognise mc, and do ; not speak a word,- but seem in a reverie; take your coffee, and always give the wsu' ter the money in a piece of rose-coloured ! paper: leave the rest to inc." The phy. sician followed his advice, and his oddity ' was soon remarked. IIis kind friend said J to the customers of the colfee-house, i " Gentlemen, do not think ill of this man because lie seems an oddity ; he is a pro. found practitioner ; I have known luui ' these li 1 teen years and I could tell you ! of some wonderful cures that he has performed ; but lie thinks of nothing hut his bowks, and never speaks except to his patients, w hich has prevented me from liecoming intimate with him ; hut if ever I am obliged to keep my bed, he is the doc tor forme." The friend went on in this way, varying the style of his pancgvric from time to time, till by degrees all in> auditors consulted the doctor with the rose-coloured paper. BAHBITS. !

TUB IIOItSE?IXSTINCT. A horse before venturing up a leap i measures the distance with his eye, and will not make the attempt if he think ho cannot clear it. [Dr. Haslamon Sound ! Mind.) In alpine countries the horses accustomed to difficult passes in the mountains seldom make a false step or trust themselves on a place where their footing is insecure. In the same way the horses accustomed to a marshy country may be safely trusted in crossing bogs and roads, as they rarely venture upon any spot where they may be in danger of be, ing mired. Some lime ago there was a horse in the artillery stud at Woolwich which was (while in the riding-school) the most do: cile and finely trained animal that could be imagined. He would at the word of i command lie down and not rise till he was ordered: he would how with the most dignified grace to visitors ; and perforin other feats with undeviating obedience. Hut the instant be was taken out of doors, and found himself in the open air and the open roads, he became alto, gather unmanageable ; and when lie could o O T not cast his rider, which he did all he | could to effect, he lay down and rolled i about. It may be remarked, that when | first purchased he was found to be exi tremely vicious, but being a fine horse pains were taken to break him in?and as j it appears successfully?within the walls of the ruling school, though out of doors O D . his old habits remained unbroken. /.AvnpfPmv An a ni'Ptf !CT i u.m ur s\ ut uaijuiu* Tlie following letter was found upon the person of the late Midshipman Gulp, of the Texian Nary, who recently fell in a duel at New Orleans.

To bring the ! haughty and the proud to their knees and in humble penitence and supplication ask forgiveness of the God who made tliem! , n / am morally and religiously opposed to duelling ! It does not prove that one is a gentleman, or a brave man, neither does i it give satisfaction for an insult; for to receive an insult and a hall also, is very poor satisfaction to a man of feeling and honor. Almost any man can raise phyi steal courage enough to fight ?"i duel, but few, alas! too few, are possessed of mo[ ral courage sufficient to stem the tide of j public scorn, and walk erect through the myriads of hisses spitout by those who are too low in the scale of virtue and moralii ty to respect it in any shape. 1 trust, and pray, that the public will not condemn the course that I have pursued.
