The steamer on the Salt Lake is to have a most
ingenious and economical steam condenser, the invention of
General P. E. Connor. of Salt Lake, which is to be applied
to a steamer he has lately bad constructed on Great Salt
Lake. " The condenser consists of two coils of copper
pipe which receive the escape steam from the cy-
linders, and are so placed as to be exposed to the
spray from the paddle wheels, and thus continu-
ously producing a shower on the pipe, cooling it and con-
densing the steam, and thereby returning the water for
use in the boiler. The water of Salt Lake is too strongly
impregnated with saline matter to be used successfully for
steam purposes, and therefore this contrivance, or inven-
tion, is found necessary to obviate the portage of fresh
water and make the navigation of the lake practicable."
viemzous Botor r-
per's Magazine states that the report of viviparous fah in
the waters of California, "which, for a time, so serieusly
disturbed the learned savans of the French Academy," is
without foundation. The writer of the article succeeds
iu Proving his ignorance, and this is all. These vivipar-
ous fish are abundant, and that they give birth to fish
and do not deposit eggs like most fishes, is evident to most
persons who have cleaned many of the perches sold in our
mark,lts. They have ceased here to be a curiosity. The
little perches, previous to birth, are well formed, and when
they commence their independent existence they aro seve-
ral inches long.—Alta,
