58 = The Mining an Sriewtitic Presa. Tac Tzyactry or Lire iw Eeis.—It is well known that eels, after being beheaded and skinned, and having their entrails taken ont, will ofteu wriggle and move cunsiderably. What is the philosophy of this ; are they alive, or is-it the imvoluntary action of the nerves and muscles ? The lower orders of animals, such as the snake, the eel, and the turtle, have but little braiu, and their sensations, and the governing forces of their bodies, are distributed in ganglia or nervous knots, over a considerable extent of the system ; while in man the motive force is located in the brain, When a man has his head severed or disconuected from the body, his dying struggles are comparatively short. It is said that a turtle will live a day or two with the head off. Machinists and Foundries. PALMER, KNOX & CO,, Golden State Iron Works, Nos. 19, 21, 23 and 25 First Street, y SAN FRANCISCO.
