ANTICIPATED INVENTIONS. (Frcra All the Year Roland.] Scarcely any important invention starts once into being; usually, it has hid along riod of preparation, by men who reaped no profit from their labors. The world considers the` inventor to be the person whO gives the capital touch which imparts practical vglite to an nriginal' idea, whether or not he reap any por tion of that value, and whether or • not he be -really more clever than the preliminary invent ors who cleared the path for him. Dr. John son, looking out of his window in Bolt court, one evening, saw a lamplighter much troubled to light a lamp; he did not Succeed until there was a good deal of black vapor over the wick ; whereupon the great lexicographer said, " ! One of these days we shall see the streets of London lighted by smoke." Was not the real idea of gas-lighting in Johnson's mind at that moment? And yet we do not call him an inventor. Long before. Johnson's time, Dr. Clayton, about 1660, distilled coal in a retort, producing what he called "phlegm, black oil and spirit ;" this spirit was gas, Which he con fined in a bladder because he could not con dense it into a liquid. He was wont to amuse his friends with burning this gas as it issued from the bladder through holes pricked with a pin. This was a century and a half before the streets were lighted by gas. The Marquis of Worcester's Century of In ventions is a well-known repertorylof new and strange curiosities. He wrote this book in the time of-Charles the Second; and., adopted, the name.P.century " because there - are a hundred projects described. Or, rather, the projects are asserted,for none of them are so clearly detailed as to enable an artisan to work from them. The range_of subjects is something amazing. Ships to resist any explosive projectiles, and boats to work against wind and tide, might be taken 'to Prefigure our : and steam boats. Large cannon to be shot six times in a minute, and a pistol - to discharge a dozen times with once loading, certainly seem very much indeed like revolvers. A brass-mould to cast candles is a verbally exact description of the means nowused in making mould-eandles,with the simple substitution of pewter for brass. A machine fdr - dretiging - harborsTand --- a — machine for raising r ships for repair, are assuredly among the ways and means of modern hy- • draulic engineering ::: Ail apparatus for lighting: its G~rn lathp - zany -predetermined; hour of the day or night,was recently displayed in the metropolis,at one of the Workingmen's Exhibitions; whther the ingenious fellow who made it had read the Marquis of Worces ter, we do not know. A calculating machine for performing addition and subtraction was made a hundred and fifty years after the Mar quis had talked about it in his book. A key - - that will fasten all the doors in a cabinet with one locking; exactly expresses what Mr. Sop with achieus with his Monocleid cabinet. New chemical inks for secret writing; new appa ratus for semaphores or signalling; explosive projectiles to sink ships ; an instrument for teaching perspective ; a method of fixing shift-. ing sands on the sea-shore; a cross-bow to shoot Off two arrows at once; flying machine's; an endless watch to go without winding up ; ,theseTareT: among - the - various - novelties men tioned. It is difficult to decide how far the Mamas liag t really WorkedOet any of these co titri vauces, - eitlier in his own mind or paper; that he did not always advaUce so far as working models may be safely supposed. Nevertheles,, be is believed to have made a model of- Some ., thing which we in our days would call a steam engine ; and he is known to have had a German artisan, Casper Kaitoll; in his employ as model maker and machinist. The visitor at Raglan Castle, in Monmouthshire, is told of au inge nious mechanical contrivance_ with which the Marquis (who was lord of the castle in 'the times of the Civil War) contrived to baffle the Roundheads and befriend the Royalists on a critical occasion. The beautiful art of photography is-not so modern,-in its leading principles, as most of us are in the habit of supposing. It was known nearly a hulidreity - eall - ago thattertaitrehtmri ,,- cal substances are blackened, or at least dark ened, by exposure to light: Seheele discovered this fact in relation to chloride of silver, and Ritter to, nitrate of silver. Sir Humphrey Davy, Dr. Wollaston and Mr. Wedgwood ac tually obtained photographs in 1802, by taking advantage of this scientific discovery. A Cain em obscura was provided, through the lens of which the sun's light was admitted ; the light was focalized on a small sheet of glass pinned with a colored device or picture: and then it fell on a sheet of paper rendered sensitive by nitrate of silver. It was found that, accort ling to the depth of color through which the light passed„so did the paper become more or less darkened ; reproducing the picture not itecolors, but with due gradations of light anti shade. In this way photographs (as we should now call them) were produced of patterns, figures, woody fibres of plants, wings of insects and delicate designs of lace. But the affair died out, and was not revivified for a long series of veers, owing to this fact—that no fixing pro cess had then been discovered. The photo graphs darkened and darkened day by day, until no picture of any kind was left. Those clever men did three-fourths of the work nearly seventy years ago ; but they failed to hit tlm remaining fourth : therefore they are not how: ored as the discoverers of photography. Not the least noteworthy of these instances is that which relates to the electric telegraph. The Jesuit Strada, in 1617, speculated on the possibility that there might, some day,be found a species of loadstone or magnet possessing much more wonderful properties than those long known. lie supposed it to have such virtues that if two needles be touched with it, and then balanced on separate pivots, and the one be turned in a particular direction, the other will move sympathetically with it." lf, then,- two persons were possessed of two such mag netic needles, and settled upon a pre-arranged code, they might talk at any distance. Ile merely imagined such a stone, but did not ven ture to predict that it would ever be found. The same idea Was developed somewhat more fully by Henry Van Etten, in 1660, very likely after reading Strada : " Sonic say that by means of a magnet, or such like stone,persons who are distant from each other may converse together. For example, Claude being at Paris, and John at Rome, if each had a needle touched by a stone of such virtue that as one moved itself' at Paris, the other should be Moved at -Rome ; then let Claude and John have a similar alpha bet, and agree to speak every day at six o'clock in the evening. Let the needle make three turns and a half to signal that it is Claude, and no other, who wishes to speak with John. Claude wants to signify, Le roi est is Paris,' and makes his needle stop at L, then at e, then at r, o, i, and soot the rest. Now, at the same time, the needle of John, agreeing with that of Claude, will go on moving, and stop at the same letters; so that he can easily understand or notice what the other would signify to bim." Van Etten gave a diagram, showing the dial, needle, pivot, alphabet, &c., for working out the idea. He-was very candid and honest, hoWever; for he, added : "It is a fine inven tion; but I do not think there is a magnet in the world which has such virtue." And he implied 'a danger : "Besides, it is inexpedient, - •for treasons would he too frequent, and too much protected." A pleasant paper iu the 'Spectator gave a new-turn to this Idea, point ing out bow two lovers could carry on a senti mental conversation whenever cruel distance separated,thpin., Each lover must have a dial, • with ; the requiSite.Magnetand all the letters tt '%lnhabet ;. Vitt, beside these letters, it . „'several entire words which have *go in passionate epistles : as flames, darts, die, language, -absence,. Cupid, heart, eyes,' : beingi dear, and the lik. This - - WonldNertinuelrabridge , the -lover'spaitasin. the:way of writings letter, as it would enable, , him to exptess the most useful and sigMtidant , word with a simple torch 'Of , the , needle.", Thoie-, who have ,witnessed the action pfi Wheatstone's a dial telegraph will' perceive action._ closely this odd conceit of the writers of, former • days ,approximates to the' actual results of scientific invention • for there are not only the letters of the alphabet around the dial, but there are also single signs to denote complete words. The cardinal point of difference is this : that the predictors imagine some kind of occult mystical connexion between the two dials ; whereas, in the practical telegraph, there is a copper wire, with or without an en veloping cable, extending from oue to the other, be the distance ten 'yards •or ten thou si-ind miles.' It was in 1745, so far as is. known, that a Wire was first made to convey an electric impulse to a considerable distance ; Dr. WAttson stretched a wire • across the 'Thames near WeStminster bridge, and sent an impulse through it from one observer to an other; it was, however, merely a shock : not a signal to be interrupted or discriminated. The first talking through a wire appears to have been effected in 1787; when M. Lamond, a French electrician, arranged two electrical machines in two rooms of his home, with a wire connecting them,- He agreed with Madame Lamond that the peculiar movements of two little pith balls; excited by au electric current, should denote certain letters.or words ; and thus a kind of conversation was carried on by working the two electrical machines in turn. Those who are old enough to remember the Great Exhibition of .1651, held in the Crystal Palace, in Hyde Park, may possibly call to mind the attention which was bestowed at that time on some stanzas-by Chaucer, pointed .out by one of his admirers as a prediction of 'that grand display. Striking it certainly is, in many respects. The House of Fame, consist ing of some tWo hundred lines, is a fanciful description of a mighty assemblage held in a palace of glass; and considering that Geoffrey Chaucer wrote it four hundred and seventy years before tho- Great Exhibition. was.•held, there was quite temptation enough to quote it. The poet, a dream, fancied he was Within a temple y-made of glas! The present' (gee% Victoria; as we iznowi sat orca raised 'dais on the opening• day -- (Ist '- of May) of the Exhibition. Look at Chaucer's words : In this lusty and rich place, All on high above a dais, Satte in a See imperiall, That made was of ruby royal] A feminine creature That never form'd by Nature Was soche another one 1 safe Of course Her Majesty would not have accepted Battery finite so strong as this ; but we-may pardon it in the poet. On.the Exhibition day some grand choral and instrumental music was performed ; this . was excellently prefigured by the poet : And the heavenly melodic Of songes full of armonie I heard about her throne of song, . That allthe palace - 1, I - prong: Then the nave of the palace, full of the gay trappings and the notable personages which marked the opening day : _Then saw. I stoade nn thother side, Streight downe to the doores wide, From the dais, many a piliere Of metal! that shone out ful clere ; But though they were of no rirhesse, Yet were they made for great noblesse. If we want a prediction of all nations coming to the palace of glass, the following.. looks very much like it : Then gane I loke about and see That there came ent'ring into the hall A right good company withal!, And that of sondry regions, Of all kind of conditions That dwelle on yearth under the Moone, Poor and riche. And when we i ii jher that the exhibitors at that grand display competed for such fame and honor as prize medals, honorable mention, and the admiration shared by millions of visiors, iL only requires a little stretch of the imagin ation to fancy them addressing the Queen in the following words: " Madame," said they, " wee bee Folke that here beseeches thee That thou graunt us now good fame, Arid let our workes have good name ; In full recompensacioun Of good workes, give us good renoune." The language here is a little modernized from Chaucer, but the quaintness of style is pre served. These passages certainly go far towards justifing the pleasant popular idea that Chaucer pm-invented the Crystal Palace and the Great Exhibition of 1S:51. Defoe threw oil many thoughts which read very much like anticipations of the - London University, the Foundling Hospital, the Royal Academy of Music and the Metropolitan Police. But these are not so much inventions as establishments. In the same light perhaps may be regarded John Hill's scheme for a Penny Pest, broached 'in 1659. Jasper, a Westphalian peasant, may be said to have pre dicted or imagined railways and locomotives, at a date when he certainly never saw such things in Gerinany ; and when we were only just beginning to think about them in England. In 1E36 he wrote : " A great road will be car ried through our country 'from east to west, which will pass through the , forest of Bodel schwing. On this road carriages will run with out horses, and cause a dreadful noise." There was 'Van Etten, already mentioned, who pig; forth schemes having a remarkable resem blance to real inventions of later date: such as the air-gun, the steam-gun, the hydraulic press,: and raised letters for the use of the blind. The differential thermo Meter, quite a modern invention ras to Actual construction, was very correctly pre figured by the Jesuit Lana in 1673. Daniel Schwenten, who wrote a thick quarto volume of descriptions in 1636, may assuredly be credited with a kind of pre invention of the centrifugal pump, the diving bell and the diving-dress. Defoe's Captain Singleton, in his imaginary journey in Africa, sketches a central lake which bears a strong resemblance to one of those which Grant, Spoke, Baker, Burton and Livingstone have been exploring during the last few years. But this, if worth noting at all, was a pre-discovery, not a pre-invention..; and it is• surmised that some Jesuit had previously marked down some such hike on a snap, either as a mental creation or as the result of investigation. The story of the steamboat is so well known that we need do little more than advert to it. There were several suggestions between 1476 and 1618, for moving boats on rivers by means of paddles or wheels; and some of them were acted upon; but the revolution was brought about by mechanical means, not by steam power. Papist, the French inventor, certainly had the true idea in his mind, in 1690, when he said: " Without doubt paddles fixed to an axis could be most Conveniently made to re volve-by air cylinders.---It would 'only- .be-rie cessary to furnish the piston-rod with teeth, which might act as a toothed wheel, properly fixed to it, and which, being fitted at the axis to which the paddles were attached, would communicate a rotary motion to it." Jonatiran Hulls actually did make a small steamboat in 1130, or at least a model of one; it failed, hut he may have had the germs of the true idea, le vest heless; --- There — is — said — to — have — b. • Pt - Pular versified joke. at Cautpdemln Glouces skrshire, where lulls lived, and where his great-grandson was living in 1651; to the effect that : PHILADELPHIA EVENING BULLETIN, WEDNESDAY, JULY 13, 1870. Jonathan Mills, -* : . With his paper skulls, • Invented a machine TogO againetstream. But he, being an ass, Couldn't bring it to pass, , And eo was ashamed .to he seen. The civility and the poetry of this production are about upon a par. There waka bit of jocularity in one of the Magazines, about half a century • ago, which told of wonderful inventions likely to be pub hslied in the papers of (sayythe - year 4797. The- new S-writers are _supposed to have to speak of a War between the Northern and Southern States of America, in which the former invaded the latter with an army of one million four hundred and ninety thousand men. The reality, eight years ago, approached nearer to the actual wording the extrava gant idea than the joker could have possibly supposed. But-he goes on to quote, from the supposed newspaper of 4707,the'following para graph: "General Congrevc's new mechanical cannon was fired last week at the seige of Georgia. It discharged; in an hour eleven him died and forty balls, each weighing five hun dred pounds. The distance of the objects tired at e was eleven miles; and so perfect was the engine that the whole of these balls ivere lodged in the space of twentylsquare feet." Of course, in the year 1821 it was mere reck less fun to talk of such metals, repetitive or revolving - actione - range, and accuracy ; but our Armstrongs, Whit worths and Pallisers could tell us- how steadily and wonderfully we are advancing towards re sults which are at least analogous if not ex actly siMilar. Again: "Dr. Clark crossedthe Atlantic ha - sever days." A fiction. - But how near our Cunard steamers constantly bring it to a reality ! Visit of an Ea-Confederate Regiment to -Cape ..illay—An Incident ;of the; Rebel lion Connected with it, and a Sanwa tion. • To the Editor of the .;.V. Y. Herald: On the night of the 21st of this month the Fifth Maryland regiment, General Herbert, will leave Baltimore on a visit to Cape May, by way of Philadelphia. On their arrivalin the latter city they will be Met at the depot by the Eighth Pennsylvania --- revri„, ment;—Colonel-Grayi---autlT after partaking of breakfast and marching through the principal streets,. they will em bark: for Gape-May, by Way of the ;.Pelaware. : The visit'of the Fifth-regiment goei further to ' show how thoroughly. we are recon structed than anything that has taken place since the cessation of actual hostilities between the armies of the North and South. The regiment was the pride of Stone Wall Jack son'S army corps; it was the advance of John son's corps, under General Elsey, in his march from thii Valley of Virginia to reinforce Beau regard at the first battle of Manassas. And here happened a little incident which is worthy of mention. GeneralHerberti-then Major, commanding the Fifth, came across on that memorable day a wounded officer of a New York regiment, lying exposed to. the heat of a midsummer sun,.badly wounded. . After giving the wounded oficer water and moving him to a shady place the officer handed to Maki'. Herbert the likenesses of his little cbil 7 drefrand wifertogettfer - with'some — gold - that' he had about him, with the request if it were • possible for Major Herbert to ever find his wife r to have the goodness to deliver these tokens to her, with his last words on earth, which the Major promised to do. A.t was two years after this that the battle of Gettys burg, Fa., took place,-and among the wounded that fell into our hands was Major Herbert. He was taken to the hospital from the field and received every attention from the volunteer nurses who were ever present in hehalf of suf fering humanity ; and this being the first time since the incident at Manassas in his power to find the wife and little ones of the 4.lad officer, the Major lost no time in inquire. O'or her, and found out that the wife of the officer was one of the-volunteer nurses then in one of- the hospitals of Gettysburg. The money and tokens Were at once -restored to this almost broken -hearted:lady, who - had been widowed by chill war, and Herbert was relieved of his trust, ' which for two long years had never left his person. The .litsuttertiders' Case—Mr. Fiske's Efforts to Procure Bail. (Frurn the London Pail) , NOV'S, J Lute 29.1 Mr. \laddick, the solicitor to Fk,ke, who stands committed for trial at the Central Court, for being concerned with Bealton, Park and others, in dressing in female attire, appeared at Guitiehall, yesterday, before Sir Thomas Gab; iel, to Nit in bail for the ap pearance of the prisoner Fiske, in pursu ance of an order of Mr. Justice Lyles, di iecting that he might be admitted to bail in two sureties of 1::,00 and himself in £l,OOO. The first surety justified; but the second, al though competent as far as means were concerned, had never seen the prisoner. He stated that he knew Mr. Fiske, Sr., and the family very well; but he bad never seen the prisoner. Sir Thomas Gabriel asked at whose solicitation he became hail for Fiske The bail said that Mr. Darling bad directly asked him, and Mr. Nunns, of the American Con sulate, had asked him indirectly. Sir Thomas Gabriel said he had no objection to accept the bail it' Mr. Pollard (who appeared on behalf of the Treasury) would take the responsibility on himself. Mr. Pollard said he had no desire to throw any. difficulty in the way of accepting the nail of a man who had never seen the prisoner. Sir Thomas Ga briel said that was ,just the dilli AN INCIDENT OF THE REBELLION. GREAT BRITAIN culty he felt, for how was it possible hn could surrender the prisoner if he did not know suppailig he did not surrender voluntarily. Mr. Pollard said that was the point to be got over. As far as he was concerned, he would not object, but:he could net take' upon hiMself the responsibility of accepting the bail. Sii• Thomas Gabriel said neither could he. Mr. Maddick said lie — saw the difficulty they were in, but, it' the point was not conceded, Fiske would have re lie in prison until the trial. He was here among, strangers, where he knew nobody in a position sufficiently responsible to be security for £5OO, and where he did know them they were out of the juris diction of the Court. Besides, his worship must be aware how very reluctant many per sons were to have their names mixed up with a case like this. Sir Thomas Gabriel said be could perfectly understand why very few peo ple would consent to have their names con nected with a case like the present. Mr. Mad dick said that it was only because the second bail had known the father and family of the prisoner that he bad consented to become bound for him, and if he were not accepted, there would be no alternative for Fiske but 'to remain imprison. Sir Thomas Gabriel, after a long discussion, declined to accept the second Berson offered as bail, and the application stood over until another could be procured. EDUCATION ROBERT H.
