# Scientific American/Series 1/Volume 1/Issue 1/The Scientific American

THE
SCIENTIFIC AMERICAN
PUBLISHED EVERY THURSDAY MORNING AT NO. 11 SPRUCE STREET, NEW YORK, NO. 16 STATE STREET, BOSTON, AND NO. 21 ARCADE, PHILADELPHIA, (THE PRINCIPAL OFFICE BEING IN NEW YORK)
By RUFUS PORTER.
Each number will be furnished with from two to five original Engravings, many of them elegant, and illustrative of New Inventions, Scientific Principles, and Curious Works; and will contain, in high addition to the most interesting news of passing events, general notices of progress of Mechanical and other Scientific Improvements; American and Foreign. Improvements and Inventions; Catalogues of American Patents; Scientific Essays, illustrative of the principles of the sciences of Mechanics, Chemistry, and Architecture: useful information and instruction in various Arts and Trades; Curious Philosophical Experiments; Miscellaneous Intelligence, Music and Poetry.
This paper is especially entitled to the patronage of Mechanics and Manufactures, being the only paper in America, devoted to the interest of those classes; but is particularly useful to farmers, as it will not only appraise them of improvements in agriculture implements, But instruct them in various mechanical trades, and guard them against impositions As a family newspaper, it will convey more useful intelligence to children and young people, than five times its cost in school instruction. Another important argument in favor of this paper, is that it will be worth two dollars at the end of the year when the volume is complete, (Old volumes of the New York Mechanic, being now worth double the original cost, in cash.)
Terms:—The "Scientific American" will be furnished to subscribers at $2.00 per annum,—one dollar in advance, and the balance in six months.
Five copies will be sent to one address six months for four dollars in advance.
Any person procuring two or more subscribers, will be entitled to a commission of 25 cents each.
# Scientific American/Series 1/Volume 1/Issue 1/To the American Public

NEW-YORK, THURSDAY, AUG. 28.
To the American Public,
Patrons and Friends:
Having the pleasure of again appearing before you, though under a new title, and in new dress, we may be expected to advance some remarks on things in general, and particularly on the subject of our motives, intentions and prospects. Since the discontinuance of the "American Mechanic"—the "Elevator" of Cincinnati, "American Protector" of Hartford, and "N. Y. State Mechanic" of Albany, having previously retired,—we have been frequently solicited by enterprising mechanics, and others, to engage in the publication of a new scientific paper, for the advancement of more extensive intelligence in Arts and Trades in general, but more particularly in the several new, curious and useful arts, which have but recently been discovered and introduced. We have, moreover, received communications from various sections of the country, and especially from the South and West, expressing the opinion that a paper of this description was wanted, and would be well received and extensively patronized, if once introduced. With this encouragement, we have made arrangements to furnish the intelligent and liberal workingmen, and those who delight in the development of those beauties of Nature, which consist in the laws of Mechanics, Chemistry, and other branches of Natural Philosophy—with a paper that will instruct while it diverts or amuses them, and will retain its excellence and value, when political and ordinary newspapers are thrown aside and forgotten.
In conducting this publication, we shall endeavour to avoid all expressions of sentiment, on any sectional, sectarian, or political party subject; but shall exercise a full share of independence, in the occasional exposure of ignorance and knavery, especially when we find them sheltered by arrogance and aristocracy. We shall present no gloomy catalogues of crime and depravity, believing that the cause of neither happiness nor morality will be thereby promoted;—our object being to please and enlighten. We shall advocate the pure Christian religion, without favouring any particular sect; and shall make it a point to adhere to reason and common sense, independently of the opinions of those, whose interests and popularity depend on their rigid adherence to traditional doctrines, and church creeds.
With these sentiments and intentions, respected Friends and 'Sovereign People,' and with full confidence in your good-will and generous support—not in the least doubting, however, that you will consult your own interests quite as much as ours in the matter—we commend to your favour and patronage the to "SCIENTIFIC AMERICAN."
EDITOR.
# Scientific American/Series 1/Volume 1/Issue 1/The Properties of Zinc

​The Properties of Zinc.—Professor Farraday, as we are informed in the London Athenaeum, has made this metal the subject of many interesting experiments. He has discovered that it assumes new properties on being melted and poured into water, the metal becoming very malleable and soft, losing none of it tenacity, but still capable of being spun into the finest wire, pressed into any required form, or rolled into any thinness desired. This promises to be a very useful discovery.
# Scientific American/Series 1/Volume 1/Issue 1/Wife, Children and Friends

Wife, Children and Friends.
If the stock of our bliss be in stranger hands vested,  The fund, ill secured, oft in bankruptcy ends; But the heart issues bills which are never protested,  When drawn on the firm of—wife, children and friends.
Through valour still glows in life's dying embers,  The death-wounded tar, who his colours defends, Drops a tear of regret as he, dying, remembers  How blest was his home with—wife, children and friends.
The soldier, whose deeds live immortal in story,  Whom duty to far distant latitude sends, With transport would barter whole ages of glory  For one happy day with—wife, children and friends.
The day-spring of youth, still unclouded by sorrow,  Alone on itself for enjoyment depends; But drear is the twilight of age, if it borrow  No warmth from the smile of—wife, children and friends.
Let the breath of renown ever freshen and nourish  The laurel which o'er the dead favourite bends, O'er me wave the willow, and long may it flourish,  Bedewed with the tears of—wife, children, and friends!
# Scientific American/The Death of Henry L. Ellsworth

Scientific American, v 14 (os) no 18, p 145, 8 January 1859.
This melancholy event took place on the 27th ult., at the residence of the deceased in Fair Haven, Ct.
He was the twin brother to the Hon. Wm. W. Ellsworth, former Governor, and now Judge of the Supreme Court of Errors of Connecticut, and the two were the youngest children of the Hon. Oliver Ellsworth, of Windsor, Ct., second Chief Justice of the United States. After graduating from Yale in 1810, and studying law with Judge Gould at Litchfield, he married the only daughter of the Hon. Elizor Goodrich, of New Haven, and settled at Windsor on the estate of his father, in the practice of his profession and the pursuits of agriculture. He was appointed by Gen. Jackson, as President Commissioner among the Indian tribes to the south and west of Arkansas. While employed in this service he made extensive circuits towards the Rocky Mountains. In one of these he was accompanied by Mr. Washington Irving, who thus obtained the materials of his remarkable work upon our western prairies. At the end of two years, Mr. Ellsworth was called to Washington, and placed at the head of the Patent Office.
At the expiration of about ten years, Mr. Ellsworth resigned his connection with the Patent Office, and established himself at Lafayette, Indiana, in the purchase and settlement of United States land.
About two years ago, Mr. Ellsworth found his constitution sinking. He therefore determined to remove to his native State. He recently visited Lafayette for the adjustment of his affairs, and, in less than a week after his return, was seized with an attack which ended his life, in the sixty-eighth year of his age.
For many years we have enjoyed the personal friendship of Mr. Ellsworth, and he seldom, if ever, came to this city without making us a sociable visit. He was also a strong friend of the inventor, and ever evinced a deep interest in the progress of legislation for the benefit of this very useful class of our citizens. He was also a warm supporter of the Scientific American, and we are indebted to him for repeated evidences of his confidence in our teachings, professions, and practices. In the death of Mr. Ellsworth, we feel that we have lost a valued friend, and our country has lost one of its most useful citizens. We shall miss his cheerful face, and intelligent conversation. Peace to his ashes!
# Scientific American/Series 1/Volume 5/Issue 22/Rail Road News

Rail Road News.
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad.
The Cumberland Civilian of Friday says:— “The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad west of this place is progressing as well as could be expected at this season of the year. Now and then a snow storm comes and stops the work for a day or so. But the snow stays not long, and the never-failing effort that is always made in such cases to regain lost time in a little time brings all up square again. The work is pushed on with great energy.
Covington and Lexington Railroad.
The Cincinnati Gazette is urging the Cincinnatians to subcribe to the stock in the proposed railway from Covington to Lexington. The Gazette states that stock to the amount of three hundred thousand dollars has been taken in Covington and the neighborhood. In addition to this sum, the friends of the project expect to procure subscriptions to the amount of two hundred thousand dollars in the counties through which the road, when completed, will pass.
Railroad to Montreal.
We learn from Plattsburg Republican, that a large meeting of the business men of that place, was held last week, to take into consideration the project of building a road from Plattsburg to the Canadian line to connect with a projected road to Montreal. This road if built will give a direct railroad and steam boat communication with Albany and Montreal.
The Charleston and Memphis Railroad.
We lean from the Memphis Eagle of the 21st ult., that the most enthusiastic feeling prevails in Northern Alabama with respect to this road, and that there is a fair prospect of its vigorous commencement and speedy completion.
Milwaukie Railroad.
The road from Milwaukie via Waukesha to the Mississippi, is in course of rapid construction. The Board of Directors have just published a favorable and encouraging report.
A Railroad is proposed between Newport and Fall River, to connect with the Boston and Fall River Road.
This work was published before January 1, 1929, and is in the public domain worldwide because the author died at least 100 years ago.

# Scientific American/Series 1/Volume 1/Issue 1/Secure the First Number

SECURE THE FIRST NUMBER.—Three dollars per volume is offered for the first volume of the "New York Mechanic," complete, and 25 cents per number, for several of the early numbers, by those who neglected to subscribe for the work in season to secure the first numbers. Thus it will be with the Scientific American; hundreds of people will wish for it in vain, when the first numbers are out. In anticipation of this circumstance, we shall print a few hundred more copies than are as yet ordered; but not more than will probably be taken up in two or three weeks.

# Romance Novel

Published in Doggerel and other doggerel (2015).
I
You’re never serious at 17.
One great night, full of pints and lemonade,
You’ve had enough of cafés, so you stroll
Beneath green lime trees on the promenade.
The lime trees smell so good at night in June!
Sometimes the air’s so soft it makes you blink.
The wind from off the town is charged with noise
And smells of grape, of ale and stronger drink . . .
II
Look there, you see a tiny handkerchief
Of dark blue, framed by branches in the night,
Pierced by a hapless star that melts away
With one soft shudder, beautifully white . . .
You’re 17! In June! It gets you high — The sap’s champagne: it makes your whole head ring . . .
You ramble — suddenly you feel a kiss
That flutters on your lips like a live thing . . .
III
Below the halo of a pale street lamp,
Your heart invents a novel, and goes mad
Because a young miss stopped to sneak a glance
Beneath the menacing shadow of her dad . . .
And just because she thinks you’re such a child,
She trots on by and swings her little hips
And gives a shrug that slugs you in the gut,
While cavatinas die upon your lips . . .
IV
Now you’re in love — till August anyway.
You’ll make her laugh! You’ll write her poetry!
But still you’re shunned as if you tasted bad
Until, one night, the dear one writes to thee!
That night you wander back to the cafés.
You order up more pints and lemonade . . . You’re never serious at 17 When limes grow green above the promenade.

ROMANCE
By CORNELIA MEIGS
(See cover design)
They said that it was time that I must read.
They chose a book I should enjoy, indeed;
But lazy, I bent down a drowsy head
Upon the page, and fell asleep instead.
I saw a wondrous troop go whirling by;
Past cloud-built castles, reaching to the sky,
A stately knight the shining army led;
I heard the spears clash and the chargers tread.
I opened eager eyes and naught could see—
Vanished was all that gallant company;
The room was empty, and the fading light
Showed no white lady and no scarlet knight.
Sighing, I set myself to read, at last,
And on the page the whole brave band marched past!
For years they had been waiting, still and hid,
Beneath the old book's dusty coverlid.

# Sea-Fever

I must down to the seas again, to the lonely sea and the sky, And all I ask is a tall ship and a star to steer her by, And the wheel's kick and the wind's song and the white sail's shaking, And a grey mist on the sea's face and a grey dawn breaking.
I must down to the seas again, for the call of the running tide Is a wild call and a clear call that may not be denied; And all I ask is a windy day with the white clouds flying, And the flung spray and the blown spume, and the sea-gulls crying.
I must down to the seas again to the vagrant gypsy life. To the gull's way and the whale's way where the wind's like a whetted knife; And all I ask is a merry yarn from a laughing fellow-rover, And quiet sleep and a sweet dream when the long trick's over.

"Goneys an' gullies an' all o' the birds o' the sea They ain't no birds, not really", said Billy the Dane. "Not mollies, nor gullies, nor goneys at all", said he, "But simply the sperrits of mariners livin' again.
"Them birds goin' fishin' is nothin' but the souls o' the drowned, Souls o' the drowned, an' the kicked as are never no more An' that there haughty old albatross cruisin' around, Belike he's Admiral Nelson or Admiral Noah.
"An' merry's the life they are living. They settle and dip, They fishes, they never stands watches, they waggle their wings; When a ship comes by, they fly to look at the ship To see how the nowaday mariners manages things.

# Sea-Gulls at Fresh Pond

O lake of boyish dreams! I linger round Thy calm, clear waters and thine altered shores Till thought brings back the plash of childhood's oars,— Long hid in memory's depths, a vanished sound. Alone unchanged, the sea-birds yet are found Far floating on thy wave by threes and fours, Or grouped in hundreds, while a white gull soars, Safe, beyond gunshot of the hostile ground. I am no nearer to those joyous birds Than when, long since, I watched them as a child; Nor am I nearer to that flock more wild, Most shy and vague of all elusive things, My unattainable thoughts, unreached by words. I see the flight, but never touch the wings.
