Hut there nr J prime movers and prime movers those of small dimensions aud employed for purposes where animal power or human power mliht tie substi tuted, and those which attnin ends that by no conceivable possibility con Id be attained at all by the exertion of mus cular power. Compare a fralley, a Teasel propelled by oars, wiih the modern Atlantic liner; and first 1-1 us assume that prime movers are ncn existent and that this Te&&el is to be propelled pailey fashion. Take her length as some COOft., and assume that place be found for as many aa 4M oars on each side, each oar worked by three men, or 2,400 men; and allovy th.-.t six men under these conditions could develop rroik equal to one hore-nowcr; we should have 400 horse-power. Donble the rmmlier of men and we should have SOO horse power, with 4. SOD men at work and at least t he same nuinler in reserve, if the journey is to be carried ou coutiuu oiihly. Contrast the pnny result thus obtained with the lUyVX) horse -power given forth by a large prime mover of the present day, such a power reonirini, on thealxive moilei f calculation, lsK) men at work nr-.d lit.

Even if it were possible to c rry this number of men in sr.ch it vessel, liy no conceivable means could thiir po-Apr be r.til zed ao as to Impart to it a spr-ed of 20 knots. This iliti-t rates how a prin-emovrr may not. t :.Jyb-.r a mere substitute for mus cular work, but my afford the means of attaining r.u end ihar. could not by auy po. aibility ba Ktlained by must ul.ir extr tlon, iii matter what money was expend.-d c-rwhat Kal ley-slave BufTerlrg was inflicted. Tak-s again the case of a milwny loco motive.

Hut the collection need not be one of portraits only. Celebrated French pic tures are copied on ivory by modern ar tints, each containing two or i .ore g ures, and p ake a v-lcAting variety. These avre act in sl nder frames of ivory, carved and Ki''h d iu the rococo style, and are then laid Cat on a square or oval piece cf vel vet. Pome Idea of the cost of snch luxuries my le imagined when the ivory frame alone costs in. A painting mounted ia this wny cauuot cost less than fCoO. while a ainglo portniit, cf umliuiu ti-e, c:ui be nan ior very much less. lAKLUlIA.
