Admitting that the fire-bed of ahi 'steamer can with propriety be called its gh-preastue bosoire—e concession made with some hesitancy andheart-bure, ing--how does it follow that the Smoke - pipes are nos. tidal According to all anatomical induction, we would contend that the scape pipe through which the steam is emitted after being used, sbuld be called the nostrils. esthey snort and snuffle like all fury—fre quently, rteleed, sending forth sounds just like those that might be mistaken for the blowing of an error. mous and diabolic nose, This' view of the case is consonant with analytical principle. The steam, at: ter performing its functions, is breathed out upon the air and floats about very much like the breath of a man i n f rosty Neath.r; whereas, the smoke from the chimneys beats no sort of affinity to the great element of animated existence, but is altogether repugnant to it. ft is quite certain that Copt Hamilton was noon giaeer, else be could not talk so ridiculously cowers, ing thegreat invention of modern times, ror given it such hard names.
