THE THIRD ERA IN THE PROGRESS
OF STEAM.
"A STEAM PLOUGH FOR THE IDLE SOIL OF THE WORLD."
Now that the patrons of the destructive sciences are making
such efforts to bring to perfection their engines for the de-
struction of life and pro:ierty, it becomes the advocates of
peace and commercial progress to be equally active in an op-
posite direction ; the attention, therefore, of the commercial
community. whose interests are necessarily identified with the
latter, is called to the fact of "a newly-discovered principle in
locomotive mechanics," which places all the operations of
agriculture entirely within the range of steam power, fur-
nishes the farmer with a cheap, efficient, and reliable steam
engine, and opens lip the agricultural resources of the colonies
to the enterprise of the capitalist. The Steam Plough has a
very great and important bearing on the manufacturing andindustrial interests of this country; for every kind of agri-
cultural produce is now daily becoming more scarce, andthe efficiency of this branch of industry is daily mani-
festing a greater incapacity to keep pace with the de-
mands of society for the staples of life, commerce, and
industry. The British people possess, however, almost un-
limited resources of idle soil in their colonies which only
require labour to fructify them. A practical steam plough is
therefore equivalent to nothing more or less than " a cheap
and abundant supply of the staples of life, commerce, and
trade, a rapid development of colonial growth and prosperity,
and at; extended demand for all the products of British
industry."

The steam engine has been the pioneer of British freedom
and power; in its first era (Manufacture) it provided a cheap
and efficient method of supplying society with the conveni-
ences of life—gave wealth, unity, and power to a commercial
class which came forth as the rival of absolute misrule and
the champion of constitutional zovernment in its second era
(Transportation) it furnished efficient international commu-
nication, and, uniting the interests of commerce in a course
favourable to free trade, it broke up the system of protectio,n
which had concentrated the wealth of the country (and con-
sequently the political power) in the hands of an oligarchy ;
it united by commercial ties the various countries of the earth,
and carried the banner of civilisation and Christianity to the
shores of every land ; there they now wait another agent
which shall tear up the forest and the jungle, and open up the
haunts of barbarity and superstition for their further pro-
gress. Another era has yet to be accomplished—(the Agri-
cultural)—and with this will come the third instalment of
commercial-progress, the extension of the civilising influences
of industry throughout the earth, the rapid maturity and con-
solidation of the commercial and industrial interests of the
country, and a gradual decay to all the elements of irrespon-
sible power and fictitious nobility.
Help Preachers of the Gospel, for the first note of your
message has yet to be sounded to three-fourths of the human
race ; help, Christians and philanthropists, for the idle soil
of the world is waiting to give bread to the poor and employ-
ment to the idle; help, reformers, for the power of your great
enemy is built on its connection with Agriculture on its con-
trol over the first elements of industrial and commercial pros-
perity (staple supply); help, friends of the slave, for steam in
Agriculture will at the same time give both a substitute and
a remedy for slivery; help, merchants, manufacturers, traders,
and all the armies of the industrious, for the idle soil of your
Colonies is waiting to give flieight for your ships, produce for
your railroads, staples for your factories and mills, wealth to
your customers, and material independence and prosperity to
every industrious man.

DAVIESON'S EVERLASTING TEETH.-
THE LATEST DISCOVERY.—Mr. EDWARD
DAVIESON, Surgeon-Dentist, has introduced a material
for the construction of ARTIFICIAL TEETH so extraor-
dinary that nature appears to have made good the ravages of
TIME, DISEASE, or ACCIDENT, and when fitted detec-
tion is impossible even though the wearer's mouth be closely
examined. The price is so moderate that it is within the
reach of all, and it is fitted without springs or other unsightly
fastenings. The removal of stumps is unnecessary, and thus
all pain is avoided. Mr. Edward Davieson invites one visit
of inspection to his establishment, which will convince the
most sceptical of the truth and straightforwardness of this
statement The LIQUID ENAMEL, for Stopping Decayed
Teeth, is ENAMEL WHITE, keeps its colour, and lasts for
ever. It is invaluable for Front Teeth. Attendance daily
from Ten till Six. Consultations free. Mr. EDWARD
DAVIESON, Electric Telegraph Office, 448, West Strand,

FATAL A CCIDI VT IN TILE ALPS.

On Wednesday, the 15th of August inst., three
English travellers—viz., Mr. J. M. Rochester and
Mr. F. Vavassour, both of Cardiff, and Mr. B. Fuller,
of London, left the Montanvert, near Chamouny,
at 5 o'clock in the morning, with the intention of
crossing the Col du Geant for Cormayeur, attended
by three guides, of whom Frederic Tairraz, the
brother of the well-known Jean Tairraiz, who keeps
the Hotel de Mont Blanc at Aosta, was the chief;
• a porter carrying their knapsacks. The weather
seemed favourable. Some time, however, before
they reached the summit a thick- fog came on, ac-
companied by a storm of hail and rain.
The travellers were extremely fatigued by the
long ascent, rendered more difficult by a recent fall
of snow, into which they sank up to their knees.
This, and the state of the weather, caused the
guides to urge them to turn back. They, how-
ever, refused to comply with this advice, alleging
that they were too tired to return, and preferred
proceeding. At about four o'clock in the after-
noon they reached the summit. The travellers had
been tied together by a new rope, of sufficient
strength, at intervals of 10 feet ; two guides held
the ends of the rope twisted round their hands,
one preceding the party, the other following,
while Tairraz walked with the travellers, grasping
the rope from time to time. In this manner
they descended for a onsiderable distance with-
out any accident, the guides continually urging
the travellers to plant their heels firmly in the
snow, and to walk as steadily as they were able.
About six o'clock they reached a place where it is
necessary to traverse a steel) projecting ridge by a
muddy and slippery path, the descent of which was,
however, gradual. This path was then covered by
fresh and sloppy snow to the depth of about a foot.
The tired travellers were advancing on this path
with unsteady steps, when all at once, at the very
angle of the ridge, one of them slipped, fell, and
dragged with him his two companions, with the
three guides, over a steep and long slope of snow. The
two guides at the ends of the rope made every effort
in their power to arrest their progress, but in vain ;
and seeing that they were all upon the point of
being launched over the precipice, they let go the
rope, forced their hands and feet into the snow, and
stopped themselves as by a miracle at the very verge
of an abyss, into which their unfortunate corn-
panions were immediately plunged. They made
their way to the foot of the precipice, where they
found three bodies in such a sad condition as to
leave no doubt of the fate of the fourth, and then
hastened down to Cormayeur, where they arrived
soon after 8 o'clock.

The foregoing is the account given by M. Curie,
the Vaudois pasteur of this place, and almost in his
own words. The only point that seems to call for ex-
planation is the fact of the travellers being tied to-
gether by a rope, for which there is no need on this
side of the Col ; but, as Tairraz was a most expe-
rienced guide, we must believe that he saw good
reason for using it in this case. The result was
most disastrous. The weather, no doubt, had been
bad for many days, and much SNOW had fallen ; but
this did not prevent other parties passing the Col
in safety by the very same route ; and on the morn-
ing of the day on which this lamentable accident
occurred a party of six (including two ladies), of
whom the M. Curie mentioned above was one,
ascended the Col from Cormayeur and returned here
uninjured.
On the following morning the Judge of the dis-
trict, with other officials and a staff of guides, M.
Curie (who has been most indefatigable in his exer-
tions to investigate every particular of this most
melancholy occurrence), the Rev. J. F. Day, act-
ing-chaplain to the English residents, with several
others, ascended the mountain for the purpose of
recovering the bodies and instituting a formal in-
quiry into the circumstances. In the evening the
remains were brought down, those of the English
being deposited in the Vaudois Chapel. Yesterday
they were interred in one grave in the Protestant
Cemetery, followed by all the English in Cor-
mayeur, to the number of 30, and a large crowd of
sympathizing inhabitants, the Rev. J. F. Day
reading the Burial Seevice. The guide Tairraz
was buried in the Roman Catholic portion of the
cemetery, as close as possible to his unfortunate
companions.
