Its most . striking feature consists iu what is called j by its iuventor the regenerator. Uefore j describing this, we wiil present the idea j uuon whieh it is based. First, let it be 1 n .. . 1 , , f , . ' f steam the heat required to produce it, second of time, arc capable of acquiring, amounting to about 1, '200 degrees, ir cn-! or parting with, upward of four hundred tirely lost by condensation tho momeut it ; degrees of heat. lie has been first to dis has once exerted ils force upon the eitou. I cover this marvelous property of caloric, If, instead of being so lost, all the heat 1 used iu creating the steam employed could at the momeut ot condensation, be re-coii- veyed to the furnace, there again to aid in j producing steam in -the boilers, but a very 1 listle fuel would be necessary, none, in j fact, except just enough to 'supply the j heat lust bv radiation. The reason is ob-1 vious. Iet us tnopose the steam has par sed from the boiler, has entered the cylin der, has driven the piston forward, aud is about to pass into the couden.ser, there to change its form, and be again converted That source of power it still contains. Let it be supposed that tbe heat contained is the steam could at the .moment it id converted into water within tbe condenser, be saved, and by some : device be again u?ed to create steam from water within thi: boiit.-r, with what exceeding-cheapness cculd the power of the steam engine be employed. But i(Js quite impossible thus to re-employ the neat ot steam ; it cannot thus be saved : and hence every ef- l.et us now attempt to describe the re- ft. iin-i tip n .vlttMi wo'tinr rwffVred 0 . .1.. -1 . .... :.. ; fnmnp 11 irn 11. 1 im huv nil iwi t' i:m aw c iu- 1 calculable.

Involved iu this wonderful process, of the transfer and re-transfer of heat,is a dis covery whieh justly ranks as one of the most remarkable ever made in physical science. Its author, Captain Erricsson, long since ascertained, nr upon this is ba- 11 .aL!l f , - h :,, tUe fiftieth wt of . without which, atmospheric air could not be effectively employed as a motive power, The reason is obvious. Until expanded by beat it ean exert no force upon the piston. If much time were required to effect this, the movement of the piston would necessarily be so blow as to render tbe machine inefficient. Captain Erics son lately demonstrated, however, that heat may be communicated to, tnd expan sion effected in, atmospheric air, with al most electric speed ; and that k is there-, fore, eminently adapted to give the great est desirable rapidity of motion to all kinds of machinery." The greatest advantages of this engine over the steam engine, according to Capt. Ericsson's showing are many and impor tant. In the first place, the coal consu med is only one-tenth that of the steam en gine. 2. Only one-fourth as many hands is required on board a vessel. 3. The machinery occupies not more than half the room. 4. There ia no danger from explosions. 5. There ia comparatively no danger from fire. 6., There is no smoke or dirt in consequenee of of the consump. tion of fuel. 7. The vessel is perfectly ? entilatcd, inasmuch as the engines for a l . t . . ' A Cnifl rtiAr tin .mil omf mas unH 1 large vessel, like the one now now almost f..

" I am not unreasonable, you'll find." " I hope I shall. I will want thirty candles, a table, and all tba chairs and benches you can procure." " I'll see that all is right." Having arranged this matter, I left the hotel, leaving Jim behind. Finding the printing-office of tbe 'People's IIkbald,' I asked, " Is the Editor in 7" " Yes, tir !" said a dapper little fellow, dressed in a blue vest and drab pants, his shirt sleeves rolled up, and a stick of type in his hand. "Ah !" said I, "happy to find you in. I am anxious to have a job done, in the course of the day.'' " It shall be done. This is the place for dispatch iu etery branch of the 'Art Preservative.' Your job, sir." Taking a seat at the table, I commenced writing, in a legible hand, the following glaring announcement : Cirand Moral Exhibition! MOXSIEUK MORCEAU, Tar. Rhowseu MtcictAS or thi Est!!!! Will have the honor cf appearing before the inhabitants of ih.s Village, at ihe Saloon, ihis evening, and go thro' with his most wonderful feats of Necromancy.

(IAny persons visiting the Exhibition, and feeling dissatisfied, will, on application lo the Magician, have their money refunded. Price nf admission, 60 cents ; children half price. Doors open at 6 o clock, precisely. Having finished the bill, I read it to the Editor, who appeared astonished at the wonderful performances. - lie promised to have all relv in a few hours. I sat down and waited fur my bills. I requested the editor to call at the hotel and witnsss the performance, after which I would py hiiu. After night, Jim and myself, one with trie biils and the other with the paste and brush, put up the announcement. corners, reading Hie : visit the " f-hov Everything t t fTI L. was progressing lavoraoiy. juc ur, . t t- . . i . . t . r ira were raiseu at. me proipe-i 01 uu. approaching good fortune ; but, for the life f, . . i . - . . him, he could uot imagine how we were . , , , ,, , to get out of the sera,, for he well kuew that I was not a magician.

"The train," say a r-tilroad Gazette, "may steal suddenly upmroii, and then a little trepi dation, a slight mis-step, a slip of the foot, and we shudder to think of your crushed and bleeding body." So it is in the jour ney of life ; perils are around you on every hand. 'But don't stand in their pith and defy them ; don't strnd in their path and disregard them. Perhaps you now and then take a little intoxicating drink. My frieud, if so, you are "standing on the track," while the car of retribution comes thundering on moving in a right line approaching with steady and rapid wheels. Will it not bear d wn and crush you ? Perhaps you spend an occasional evening with a party of friends, amusing yourselves with cards ot dice, taking small sums to make the game interesting. My fiiend, you are " standing on the track." . Thou sands have stood there and perished. Don't wait to bear the rattling of the rush ing wheels, but fly from the track.

The same fact will also show that to prevent completely any danger of from com' post heaps, the amount nf soil, or similar absorbent, should be more than twice that f the yird manure used, in mixture. A the absorbing power is chiefly owing to he clay it contains, it will be understood that heavy soils will retain more manure, when very copiously applied, than those f a li 'liter "character. The theory of tbe value of gypsnm de pending on its absorption of ammonia frons lew aud rain, retains but a slender hold ou probability, when it is rememoerea that four pounds of rain water never con tain more than one grain ef ammonia aud that all the ammonia that falls in our heaviest storms would be absorbed by a layer or film of soil ten times thinner than) the finest bank note paper. Cafticutor. Hade of Preserving ShinglW on Roo&v There is much for us to learn as te tbe best mode of covering our houses. The following is one of the mode practised to some ex ent, and has proved, we believe, piite satisfactory. We copy from the iijiiiiif City A gentleman in Grot on gave as the other day the manner in which he prepared his shingles, before laying them on his house, some six years ago ; and on examination, we found they had a perfectly sound and fresh appearance, as though tbey had bees laid not more than a mouth. He had a large boiler, which he filled with whitewash, mixing with it about one pound of potash to four gallons of liquid, also about the same amount of salt. Thi composition he boiled, and while it was boiling, he dipped the shingles in, taking a handful at a time, and holding them by the tips. He had boards placed so that Le could set his shingles on them on end, and let the liquid, as it ran off them, run back :rgain iiU the boiler. The shingles he allowed to dry in this posi'ioo, before lay ing theui ; aud his belief ws, that by thus curing or hardening them, they would last much longer. They could be colored red or yellow, easily, ly mixiag red or yel.o ' ochre with the composition. , The expenses of shingling are consider--able, and something like the above Uwoa ' thy of attention. 1 to
