THE INVENTOR OF TELEGRAPHING BY STEAM.—Mr.
Isham Biggs, whose wonderful inventi in in connection wi:h
the electric telegraph is present occapyiw p Alio atten-
tion, is nephew to the lite John Award Kyan, the well
known inveutoc of the Kyanizing process for preserving
of timber. He is the patentee of several valuable scientific
appliances, the earliest of which was patenteed in 1840,
when Mr. Baggs was a very young in ,n. This patent was
for an exJeedingly ingenious apparatus for copying
engravings by machinery. Shortly afterwards appeared his
method of printing in colours, by elec`ricity, which was
highly interesting end curious, but was rendered inopera-
tive owing to the cost of the type required, which comprised
the precious metals. Subsequcn,ly this prolific inventor
brought out in rapid succ!ssion various improvements in
artificial light, a steam quirtz crushing machine, &c , all of
which are, however, eclipsed by his startling exten-ion of
the mechanism of the electric telegraph. Mr. Beggs has
been for s mac years well known among scientific meu in
Landon, and has fen been engaged in delivering
interesting lectures at the Polytechnic Institution and
els: where.

SHOCKING ACCIDENT AT A FoUNDRY.—The Bradford
correspondent of the Manchester Examiner writes :
William Mortimer, foreman to Messrs. J. and J. Cliffs,
ironfouni'ers here, has died from injuries received when
endeavouring to heist a large block of iron on the previous
ThurEd-iy. He and others had been removing a large anvil
block far a seam hammer which had been cast the previous
evening, weighing between 8 and 9 tons. Being so
recently cast, the heavy mass was still warm, and, after two
cranes had been applied to lift it from the ground, the
deceased threw a quantity of cold water upon the sand, but
in teo great quantities, which caused a sudden explosion,
accompanied by a tremendous report. The steam and sand
were cast with the utmost force against the deceased and
another wei kman, named Thomas M'Kew, and both were
terribly seakled,and had their mouths filled with hot sand.
Mortimer was removed to his own residence, and attended
by Dr. M'Turk and Mr. Poppleton, surgeon ; but he was
too severely scalded internally to give hope of his recovery,
and he died on Saturday. The skin, on the exposed parts
of his person, was peeled from his body, and the very scalp
from his head. Diqiew is going on favourably.
