ANECDOTE or the late Mr KUMSjk.Y,
Jnrlremarks on the Steam Engine, in a letterfrom
fames Sh trplets. Etc/ to Dr. Mitchell, dated
New York, October 3, ld'J9.
Dear Sir,
As Impressed to you in a desultory
conversation on £und»y last, several objections
to the applications made by the ingenious Mr.
Fulton, for impelling boats by steam, which 1
presume you did oot wholly comprehend, on ac
coun$ of my detective mode of expressing niy
sejf, I take tbe liberty of endeavoring more ful
ly to explain myself, and offer my reasons for the
preference 1 give to the applications <>f the late
Mr. Humsey, in order that, if my observations
should be found correct, some advantages may
be thereby derived to society.
The float boards of Mr. Fulton's engine, as
near as 1 can lecollect, p.»ss through the water at
the rate of seven miles per hour, and it is to be
presumed that the power of the engine would
support this velocity of the float hoards, though
the boat were at rest. Then this-striking force
of the boards against the water is seven at the
commencement of action, but when the boat has
attained its utmost velocity of five miles per hour,
its striking force, or 1'esisi.ance to the water is
only two : for when the boat has attained this u
nif'irm velocity, of five inilt* per hour, the water
in respect of it is passing on in the contrary di
reclion, at l»vc mdes per hour, and the propcllii g
power is diminished in the same ratio, hence it
is evident, that two sevenths of the power o!
Mr Fulton’s engine, would be necessary to atu
tain the same boat at five miles per hour, provi
ded the apparatus weie so constricted as to »np
port a uniform action from the commencement,
so that the re acting inert force should be the
asmc with whatever velocity the boat might lie
sail.ng at- This property 1 have always consider
ed Mr. Kumsqri plan to possess, which is ex
tremely simple, ingenious, and phil«*ophiaat_

CHEMICAL PHENOMENON.
tt H 19 baen for some time a matter of surprise to
Philos tphfrs, that the heterogeneous compound
known by the name of the Administration, bat
which was in fAct a neutral salt, in the strictest
sense of the term, should not kng ago have been
decompo ,cd The weakness of the affinities be
tween its compo ieni parts, was well known, and
we are obliged to Bertbollet for the term 44 coin
pkx affinity,” by which it is wi ll described.
A volatile substance, called Canning, h »ving a
great capacity furcaloric, hiu, as might hare been
-xpect'.-d, effected the decomposition; dedigri
tiou and detonation took place,u,-mi exposure at
in increased temperature to atmospheric air, on
Pu'tney Common ; this must have had the effect
of the G dvamc battery, as a piece, of metis! of *>
spherical tunr., supposed to be Mr. I) .vy’s pot
«sium, was prqjecied from a tube containing ui
irate of pot-ash, sulphur and carbon.
T.’.us was Mr Perceval’s famous compound
decomposed; Canning yielded red fluid, of the
colour oT human blood, highly concentrated sul
phuric acid, and an impure alkali of a caustic 11a

Castlereagh gave a considerable quantity of a
queous Hind, and an osyde of lead, which had of
course lost alt its metallic splgndor. The resi

solutions, w im not thoug-it worti.y of analysis —
Professor Perceval, stul bigotted to his theory,
is endeavoring to demonstrate this phenomenon
synthetically. Dr. Grenville and Dr. Grey, have
given it as their decided opinion, that it is impo3
uble
Although we certainly respect the ingenuity
of professor Perceval, which Was so successful
ly exercised in tue York analysis, we must be al
lowed to say, that we have met with nothing in
the annals of science, since the time of toe akhy
