6 TEE DAILY EVEN IK G TELEGKAPD. PHILADELPHIA, MONDAY, AI1UL 16, 1866. KO'li:S ON SCIENCE. MAOHKBIA CRUCIBLES. Connected with the Musonm of Artillery in Taria s a vci j tine laboratory lor the trial ot the various metals proposed to be nned by enns and cannon. Tiiif. is piesided over by Captain Caron, an exceedingly inpenious and capable man, who is not coiitent with examining merely what in sent to him by tbe Government, but is himself constantly enttafied upon original researches Into tbe properties ot the metals and the best method for MiPtiiir them. We are indebted to him lor our knowledge of several ot the rare metals, and lor economical ways in which to prepare them. Captain Caron has recently Demi investigating the origin of the bubbles which form in cast steel lust as it is setting, and creatly deteriorates its value. IIo has propounded the theory that the carbon of the -tcut and the silicate ot iron, from the silica of the crucible, react upon each other to produce the gaB w hich occasions the bubbles. Tbe silicate ol iron in a state of luaiou, by contact with the carbon of tlio steel, gives rine to cnrbonic oxide pa. In order to prevent this reaction It will be necessary to make line of crucibles which contain no silica, and which will endure a bieh heat. Kaint Clair Devillehas employed crucibles ot magnesia for melting dome of the metals, and it is thought that tbr-v can bo made suitable for the fusion of steel. Captain Caron advines all inciters and reiiners to try bme or magnesia crucibles as a substitute lor thoe containine silica. All the dilliculties encountered in the preparation of the crucibles are not yet overcome, but the cjuestion appears to be approaching its tinal solution. ETC111NCJ ON GLASS. ' " To render glass opaque, th following method ia employed in the establishment ot Baccara. The object to be etched is to be immersed in the; following ruaenn: -one thousand parts of water, two hundred and fifty parts ot well-crystallized fluohydrate ot tluoride of potassium and two hundred and til tv parts of chloride ol ammo nium, to which either some eulphate of atnmo tia, oxalate of potass or chloride of zinc is to be lidded. Tbe etched surface is soon covered with insoluble opaque salts, and the transpa rency ol the class destroyed. This tluoride of potasBiura is the salt which Dr. Gibbs proposes to employ in the preparation of pure oxides ot some of tne metals, and Us manutacture in larpe quantities would be of great service in the arts. (1TJIDH TO THE EXPOSITION. llachctte & Co., of Paris, have published a guide to the Universal Exposition of 1HC7. It is compiled from ollicial documents, aod elves a foretaste of what the commissioners propose to accomi lih. It may serve to show how near the realization comes to the grand schemes proposed by the commissioners. TUNNEL UNDER TUB ENGLISH CHANNEL. English engineers have recently been in Paris to obtain the authorization of the French Gov ernment to have soundings and measurements made on the French coast with rctcrcnce to the construction of a tunnel from Calais to Dover. The distance would be at lca6t thirty miles. It appears to be an impossible encineering pro "blcm, but the Mont Cenis tunnel is cited in sup port of the feasibility of tbe scheme. There are few undertakings the success of which would be hailed with greater satisfaction by the travelling public than this. No traveller to the Continent can ever torget that wretched English Channel and the miserable little tubs of steamboats in which passengers are ferried across. ANALYSIS OF MINERAL WATERS. ' Dr. Gapmann, of Syracuse, has published some investigations upon the subject of the due allowance to bo made for the influence of mix tures of salts in solution upon the composition of mineral waters. In making up the results of their analyses, chemists have hitherto been in the habit of assigning the strongest acid to the strongest base, without taking into consideration the influence of mixtures upon the formation of halt. Dr. Gcopmann has shown: 1. That car bonate of magnesia, in the presence of sulphate of lime and tree carbonic acid, will yield sul phate of magnesia, carbonate- of lime, and some basic carbonate ot magnesia. 2. That carbonate cf magnesia, sulphate ot lime, free carbonic acid, and chloride of sodium, form chloride of magnesium, sulphate of soda, and carbonate of lime. 3. That carbonate of magnesia ana chloride -of calcium mutually decompose each other. 4 That carbonate of lime and chloride of magnesium are indifferent in their behavior towards each otuor. If the views ol Dr. Gcrpmann are correct, the analyses of mineral waters will have to be sub jected to a new arrangement founded upon the Influence of sal s in determining chemical de composition. This is a new and important con tribution to the bterature of mineral waters. Dr. Chandler has remarked, in a long and very able paper on the same subject, that the temperature of the water and the pressure of steam must be taken into account as modifying the reactions of the salts. The same subject has also been ably treated by Mr. T. Sterry Hunt. A HOT SUMMER. If we examine the tables of mean temperature for a series of years, we shall find thai there is a tolerably uniform rising and descending scale. If the winter be cold the summer is apt to be hot. Therefore, look out for warm weather the coming summer, unless the meteorologists are at fault in their calculations. TO EXTINGUISH FIRES. A largo fire from petroleum was extinguished in some vaults in Nantes by a pailful of a solu tion of sal ammoniac (chloride of ammonium). Dilute aqua ammonia will serve as well. As chloride of ammonium can be had at any time In the lower pait of the city, it could often be employed to great advantage, and ought not to be forgotten. ALLOYS OF MANGANESE. Dr. Frleger, of Bonn, has prepared alloys of mangauesc and iron and manganese atd copper. An intimate mixture of black oide of muuea ncse, powdered charcoal and iron tilings or turn ings is made in a black lead crucible holding thirty to fifty pounds. A covering is made of chaicoal, flu or spar, and common salt, and the contents of the crucible exposed for several hours to a white heat. On breaking the crucible the alloy of mangenese and iron will be found as a perfectly homogeneous button. Two equiva lents of manganese and one equivalent ot iron pive an alloy containing bixty-six per cent, of manganese; four of maugsnese and one of iron gives about eiehty per cent, ot manganese. Both alloys are harder than the hardest steel; they are capable ot a high polish, fuse at a red heat, do not oxidize in the air, and only par tially in water; their color is between that of steel and silver; they could be used for journal boxes and bearings of machinery, and would be useful in affording a method lor the introduc tion of given quantities of manganese to iron r steel castings. The so-called crystallized iron now employed In the manufacture of sales owes its peculiar properties to the manganese contained in the ruetal. In the preparation ot the iron use is made of the Iraukltnite ore of New Jersey, In fttead of the black oxide of manganese employed by Dr. Prioger. The alloy of manganese and copper is prepared in a similar manner, and is very hard. The properties of this latter alloy are not suflicieutly understood by our workers in TitPtnlR. An r.hpi-A rn lui-cra H.nnifra nf hlnffk oxide of niaueanese near Copper 1J arbor, Lake Superior, in the vicinity of the native copper, there is a tine opportunity for Invest'gatlou on the part of the metallurgists of that region. SILVERING ON GLASS. Professor Bu ttiger has blrapliUed the methods "Hitherto employed for this purpose. He prepares two stock bottles as follows: First, a redacing liquid: Dissolve one druchrn of nitrate of silver in one ounce ot distilled water, and add this uTBdiiiLllv to a boiling solution of Selgnette salts (fortv-eiirht prain of the salt to forty-eight OUnCCS 01 UlaH'i noici, m uii ivji u v 7 in ten minutes; filter the liquid after it is cold. Second a silvering solution: Ono dracham of nitrate 'of 6ilver dissolved in one ounce distilled ,,f,.. a until tion of sal ammoniac added bv hi thfi nrpcinitato toriued begins to vanish then add twelve ounces of distilled water, and alter. For the purpose of silvering tnke equal volumes of the two standard solu tions, and if the surface to be coated with the metal be a panp of glass, a rim of wax, half an inch In height, can be made on all sides of it, and the mixed solutions poured on and loft in quiet. If a hollow glan& vessel is lo be silvered, it, can be tilled w ith tha liquid ten minutes is often Biifllcicnt for the deposition of the thin film ol Hlver if the Slavs is to be used as a mirror, the metallic mrlace can be protected by a var nish prepared by dissolving aspbaltum in ben zine, i Silver minors reflect nearly all of the rays of light, srd literally enable us "to ice ourselves as olbus pec nV whereas nearly hall of the light 'b '.ost in the case ol the quicKsllvcrmirror, and oltcn a jclltw or oistoited rrnacelis re flected. It was at onetime proposed to' make mirrors of silwr, and the arrangements! were cowrictcd for thut purpose near Nuremberg. The outbreak ot ihe civil war in America so affected the trade, that the project was aban doned, and it has not since been resumed. Liebiir Is saiieimie m the belief that the time is not tar distant when silver mirrors will sup plant all others. ' THE 3NA.VY. The Formation ot Two More Foreign Squadrons. The orders from the Navy Department to pre pare lor service as a flagship tbe l'erisamln, a line vetsel ot the fJartjord class, is probably ihe first step towards the lormatton ot anew foieign squadron to be known as the South Paciiic Squadron. The cruising ground of this squadron will prrbably be Iroiu Punaoia aloug the west coast ol iioutu America, thence south ward 8Ld westward, including New Zealand, Australia, Tasmania, and the islands ot the Pacific. . .... Certainly this wi'l be one of the most intcrest ii g cruising giouiids ol any in the world, and one which hnbci to has been rarely vkitcd by our vcsfcIs o!-v,ar except lor exploring pur poses. The ports to be visited will be Panama, Calluo, Valparaiso, Talcapamo, Sydney, Mel bourne, lioDart Town, Auckland, Monguinui, Otaheite, Kotomnh, and various other places, in the Kings Wills (iioup, Marquesas, Hociety, and Friendly Islands. This squadron will probably consist oi seven vessels of second and third rates, and will compare favorably with the squadrons ol other naval pow. rs in those waters. In fact, it will be larger than any oi them. It is also reported 1 tltat a new squadron will shortly be organizedto be known as the Indian Ocean bquaoron. As yet, we have not been in formed what vessels will compose it, but it will probably consiBt ot about live vessels ot second and third rates. This new cruising ground will comprise the vast oceanic bain separated from the Paciiic, on the east, by Australia and the Asiatic Aichipelago;' bounded on tbe south by a line drawn from the Cape of Good Hope to Bass Strait, divided Jroni tbe Atlantic by Africa, on the west, and inclosed by the countries of Asia, on the north. The chief seaports are Calcutta and Bombay, in India; Malacca, in the Asiatic Archipelago; Aden, Mocha, and Muscat, in Arabia; and Zanzibar and other lesser ports, in Africa. The presence ot a number of war vessels of the United Stales in theo .waters will be of much service to our merchants, as it will make the passage among the islands and through the straits much more safe than formerly, and break up the piratical expeditions which have of late been so frequent in that locality. The climate in this quurter of the globe is debghttul, the scenery oeautiful, and a two or three years' cruise in these latitudes, in ono ot our fine war vessels, will be an interesting event in the lives ot our naval officers. With these two new additions the strength ol our foreign squadrons will bo as follows: Vessols. Guns.

C.) corres pondent ol the Cincinnati Commercial, writes: "It appears that true love has boen revived in this State, Irora the following narrative, communicated bv an acquaintance whom I knew in tho Army of the Boutnwesi. " Eany in the struggle, a younir lawyer entered the liebol service in.iu this town, and obtained a Captuin's commission, deterring an engagement of nairiage with a young woman ot hiuta social posi tion and broad aores of cotton (disassociated from any in her toilette), until tho contest had termi nated. 1 he loving twain agreed, it -one should dto before the other, tho survivor should follow to tbe tomb, and they ma do such promises as did the fair "lmopene" to "Alonzo the Brava." At the battle ot lve orks, in Virginia, tne captain was Killed; and tbe sad news homn communicated to his mis tress she made her will, and prepared lor death, though carefully concealing her determination from her relatives. 'A low weeks alter the fall or tne vounr cmoer. the morning following the af ternoon of his funeral, which she attended, pale and tearless as a statuo, she waB lound dead in ner Dea. jtior parents saiu she had expired ol congestion of the brain, but a note left by their daughter intormod them oi her intention to commit suicide, which she did with hydrocyanic acid: and, as tho sentimental religious rnaptodiKtx would nave us believe, joined ner love in a realm of happiness, where the amaranth of aflection lorevor blooms " , ... i The Release of Semmes.

J. J.T. Wilson, A Veto by Governor Ward ol New Jersey. Governor Ward, of New Jersey, has returned to the Secretary ot State, with his objections, tbe bill to lease the Wet Basin property, at Jersev (Jltv, to the suear house proDrietors. lie explains his reasons for this course at some length, lie stales that the Morris Canal Com pany are in possession of the property, and that the bill proposes to dispossess them without any compensation, lor rxn immense outlay of money for valuable improvements, which have added to the wealth ol the State. He reveals the fact that tho Morris tlanal Company, who have hitherto occupied the property In question as suorp owners, and without compensation, have pven mm their Guarantee to tate a lease on better terms oifcriiicr to nav S'itl.llOII tvir venr rent, in place of $15,000 to be paid by tne parties who wouiu take possession under the bill.
