NEWLY-INVENTED JOINTS FOR WATER AND GAS-PIPES.
—Last week some interesting experiments were e
xhi
b
i
t
to several scientific gentlemen at the
manufctory of
Messrs. Smith and Phillips, West Smithfield,
to prove
the value and efficiency of the invention for uniting
water and gas-pipes, by means of what is termed a
molten
,
or ring, to supersede the use, as at present,
of
lead. The advantage of this invention consists in uniting
the two ends of the pipes to
led oined together by placing
them in a circular ring ca a clip, consisting of two
b which the ends of the pipes
pieces united by screws, y
are grasped firmly and immovably together. A small
f Webbing, covered with a thin layer of red
lead, is
--the pipes and the clip. By
these means

hours. The nuisance of contlntirdly palling tip the
went and disturbing the traffic in the public streets has
been felt by everybody, and it is no small boon to pas.
Seugers in a crowded locality if by this process it can be
got rid of. The expense to water and gas companies is
most extravagant by the employment of the present
means of fastening pipes, which after all are continually
leaking; and it is sotnewlatt extraordinary that so simple
have
ilontrivance as Oa above should not before this
been discovered and acted upon. We havebeen informed,
that in several wiles of pipes have

DEALT.II OF LONDON DURING THE°

WEEK.

(From the Report of the Registrar-general. )

The deaths registered in London, which in the
previous week were 934, in the week that ended
on Saturday (June 20th) were 987. In the ten
years 1847-56 the average number of 'deaths in.
the .weeks corresponding with last week was 966.
But as the deaths of last week occurre I in an
increased population, the average, for tae pur-
pose of comparison, should be raised in proportion
to the increase, in which case it will beconte.lo63.
Hence it appears that the deaths now returned
were le4s by 76 than would have occurred if the
average rate of mortality had prevailed.
The births registered last week exhibit an
excess of 540 over the deaths returned in the
same period.

The deaths referred to the zynaotie class of dis-
eases were in the previous week, 164 ; last week
they were 197. The increase arises chiefly from
diarrhma, which in the last four weeks was fatal
in 17, 26, 20, and 35 cases. Two thirds of the
35 cases occurred to infants. No death is recorded
in the week as caused by "English cholera," or
any other description of the disease. Two children,
aged 6 and 7 months died of chicken-pox
in Islington. Two cases of small-pox were
fatal ; one in Poplar and one in Marylebone. Both
measles and diarrhoea numbered more deaths in the
East districts than in the other parts of the metro-
polis ; the former complaint appearing to b 3 chiefly
in the Shoreditch district, in Bothnal-gi een and
Limehouse. Hooping-cough is now slightly on the
decline ; 41 children (a smaller number than has
been obtained for a long period) died of it last
week. The iilness of a child who died of measles
and typhoid fever was supposed by its lather to
have been caused by eating some pork in an un-
sound state. Four children died of syphilitic dis-
ease ; one person of ischuria, ono of diabetes, one
of elephantiasis ; 3 persons were the victims of in-
intemperance,
,besides 4 whose deaths are assigned
to delirium tremens. Five nonagenarians died
in the week, all, with one exception, women and
widows. One was 92 years of age, one 94, one 95,
and two had attained the age of 96.
Last week the births of 764 boys and 763 girls,
in all 1,572 children, were registered in London.
In the ten corresponding weeks of the years
1847.56 the average number was 1,465. •
At the Royal. Observatory, Greenwich, the mean
height of the barometer in the week was 22.882 in.
The mean reading of Thursday was 30'015 inches.
The highest reading was 30.09 in. at the beginning
of the week. The mean temperature of the week
was 60.3 deg., which is 1 deg. above the average of
the same week in 43 years (as determined by Mr.
Glaisher). The highest reading of the thermometer
in the shade was 84 deg. on Saturday ; and the
mean temperature of the same day was 69.1 deg.,
which is 9.3 deg. above the average. The lowest
reading was 38.8 on Sunday (the 14th) •;
and the
range of the week was 45.2 deg. The highest
reading of a thermometer in the sun was obtained
on Friday, and was 106 deg. The mean dew-point
temperature was 51.2 deg., and the difference be-
tween this and the mean air temperature was 9.1
deg. The mean temperature of the water of the
Thames was 62/ deg. The temperature of the
river rose to 64/ deg. Saturday. The wind, which
was in the south-east and east on Sunday and Mon-
day, changed to north-east, and continued in that
direction till Friday at noon, after which it blew
from the east. The amount of rain in the week
was 0.85 in., all of which fell on Saturday. A
violent thunder storm occurred at 40 minutes past
12 on the morning of that day ; and rain fell to the
amount of 5-tenths of an inch within ten minutes.
