THE GREAT EXHIBITION.

The attendance yesterday at the Crystal Palace,
although-not so great as on the previous day, was still
greater than the Wednesday of the previous week. Her
Majesty was one of the earliest visitors, and, attended
by Messrs. Dilke, Cole, and Colonel Reid, proceeded at
once to the electric telegraph office, and spent some mi-
nutes in watching the operations of this great scientific
wonder of the country. Colonel Wylde, Mr. Peto, M.P.,
and two other directors of the telegraph company were
might conveyed to and from distant points,
in attendance, and explained the working of the machine
to her Majesty. As a test of the rapidity with which
messages;
her M.ijesty commanded that a message should be for-
warded to Edinburgh for the latest paragraph of news in
the Scotch pipers. The answer, a paragraph of ten lines,
came bick before her Majesty lest the building, and an-
nounced, curiously enough, the arrival of the Countess 1
of Neuilly (ex-Queen of France) in the northern capital.
After her inspection of the telegraph, her Majesty pro-
ceeded to the agricultural implement section, where
Mr. Pusey,
M.P., Colonel Challoner, and Mr. Brandreth
Gibbs, were in attendance, and explained the working
and uses of the different machines. The total number
of visitors was 58.055.

BRITISH ASSOCIATION. --IPSWICH, TUESDAY.
Yesterday evening M. Boutigny was pledged to thrust his
hands into a pot of melted iron, to be prepared for this pur-
pose at the foundry of Messrs. Ransome and May. Accord-
ingly, at a few minutes before seven o'clock a large party
assembled at the reception-room, and proceeded with the
French philosopher to the place of fiery ordeal. A pot of
glowing metal, red hot from the furnace, being placed before
M. Boutigny, this gentleman, having damped his right
hand with a little water, plunged it with perfect impunity
into the mass. The sensation, he assured the spectators, was
one of cold rather than heat, and he gave the following ra-
tionale of the phenomenon :—The moisture on the skin be-
came converted, by beat, into that peculiar condition termed
spheroidal vapour,
which, being a bad conductor of heat,
effectually prevented the skin from being burned.
