This Institution is designed to supply a great national
want, viz., an asylum for the orpha- daughters of -ailors in
the Royal Navy and Merchants service and of Marines,
It clothes, maintains, and educates them for domeAlc
service, and provides a home free of exi)ense tor former
inmates' while out of situations, thus shielding them fre,a the
temptations they might otherwise be exposed to.
Tne t.'ommittee earnestly APPEAL for CONTRIBU-
TIONS to meet the inereasi g applications through the
recent storms and less f life at sea, and to enable them
even' ually to obtain premises more commensurate with the
necessities of this great maritime country, which loses 2,000
sailors annually by casualties alone, without including those
who may perish by war.
Subscriptions thankfully received by the bankers, Messrs.
Barclay, Bevan, and Co., Lombard-street, and by the Secre-
tary, at the Offices, No. 77, Curnhill.

han 455 poor, friendless, young females were rejected .rom
want of FUNDS and room, making a total of 3,087, who have
been sent away in five years. Here are brief details of a few
of the most recent cases :
F. F., aged is, fallen, mother dead, deserted by her father.
M. A. F., aged !3, homeless, both parents dead.
A. 8., aged 17, fallen, lather dead, deserted by her mother.
S. D., aged 15, fallen, mother dead.

Mr. I )aniel Cooper, 85, Queen •street, Cheapside; or by Messrs

SCIENTIFIC JOTTINGS.—In a paper addressed to
the Academy of Science's, M. Terreil gives an analysis of a
piece of bronze and a piece of iron ore bearing traces of hav-
ing been cut by human hands, both specimens forming part
of the various objects found in the ossiferous caverns of the
Dordogne by MM. Lartet and Christie, and consequently
affording very conclusive proof of the high antiquity of
metallurgy. The piece of bronze has the appearance of
having dropped out of a crucible while in a state of fusion,
and it is composed of 86 parts of copper, 12 of tin, 1 of lead,
half a part of zinc, and traces of iron. The crust with which
the surface of this metal is covered contains, besides particles
of the above-mentioned metals, a certain proportion of lime,
chlorine, carbonic acid, and micacious clay. The piece of
iron ore is a compound of 50 parts of peroxide of iron, 34 of
silex and micacious clay, and 11 of alumina. M. Bianconi
has examined the bones of the Epiornis maximus, a gigan-
tic bird now extinct. From certain anatomical peculiari-
ties, he concludes that this bird was not a Breripennis, or
runner, but must have been much akin to the condor. It
was a native of Madagascar and Southern Africa; and
Marco Polo, in his travels, says that the gigantic bird of
Madagascar, which he calls Rue (probably the Ruc men-
tioned in the " Arabian Nights "), looked like an immense
eagle. This passage has generally been treated as a mistake
or a fiction ; but from the remains of the Epiornis it would
appear that the celebrated Venetian traveller spoke the
truth, as he generally dues. M. Flandrin, who, on tho 25th
of July, 1864; had deposited a sealed packet with the
Academy of Sciences, caused it to be opened at the last
sitting, when it was found to contain a project for employ-
ing ammonia as a moving power. This gas being extremely
soluble in water, which, however, emits it again very rapidly
in ram, M. Flandrin compresses it in a reservoir, whence
he makes it pass into a cylinder, so as exactly to balance
the pressure of the atmosphere. When the piston of the
cylinder has thus been driven out, the ammonia escapes
i
nto a condenser containing water, where it is Absorbed.
But here an air-pump sucks up the gas from the water and
carries it back to the reservoir, and thus the motion con-
tinues, the piston being at each stroke driven in again by
atmospheric pressure.—Galignani.
