Capella was bred by gen. Parker,
foaled in 1878, and got by Hcrod, out

tty not inferior to any horse in the fate He
is the only horfc in this country tina, has
won 4 kings plates in one year this he did
IN 1900 see Z. c. for that year. Not,
withdrawing this and other unexceptiona-
bic evidences of Knowsley's hyperion worth,
yet a perfoual view OF him will be his bea
accommodation.
KsowsLEY will aand the enGuipg feaGon
at our hablc in Albsmarle county, Ia miies
above Charlottesville, to cover mares at 10
dollars the iealon, for which sotes will be
required, payable on or before the 18th O.
Sept. next II dellars the leap, and 40 dolf
lars to insuve mare TO be 10 foal, with one
dollar to the groom, which, with the leap
money, mua be paid vheu the mare is CO.
yered Thofe gentlemen who fen, mares
10 Knowsiey laa leafon and did not erove
with fonl, fhall have them injured this fea-
ION for 10 dollars, except tho(e which were
covered by the leap 70, fueh as dolls will
De feqpired. Any gentlemen putting fix
mares, ihail have one covssed Cratic. The
tealon will commence on the 4 Of March,
aud expire the "a of Augua next.
We shall be able to furnish upwards
of 200 acres of excellent pasturage,
gratis, well enclosed, in 5 separate
fields, besides several grass lots, which
wiR be kePtexclusively for mares with
colts, and those which may be sent be-
fore ioaling. Servants sent with mares
vii! be boarded at 9s. perweek. Mares
will DC fed, as directed, at the market
price OF grain---and gentlemen may
res. assured that all possible care and
attention shall be paid to the mares
lett with the horse, both to have them
got with foal, and TO prevent accidents
or escapes---but no responsibility for
any that may happen.
= kNOWoLEY was purchased by
as IN March last, from Mr. Lightfoot,
AZ 5000 -He covered 165 mares,
out of which number, as far as We
nave been able to learn, very few have
not proved with foal.
KNCWSLEY's sire, the famous
Sir Peter Teazle, now covers in En-
gland by subscription, limited num-
ber. OF mares, at Is guinea, each no
other horse at more than IL guincas.
In 1901, he had 81 winning colts
on the turf, when no other horse had
more than 16---and out Of 90 kings
plates run for, were won by his
coFts---see r. c. for 1ao4---tl,e last
arrived. From the present appear
ance of Knowsley's colts, and the sue
cessful performance of his stock on the
turf in England, very little doubt can
be entertained but that his colts will
prove also successful on the turf in
this country. The annexed certif-
Gates from such respectable charac-
tiers, will place KhowSley, rs foal
getter, on as high ground as any other
horse in the state.

!. "A very interesting dissertation upon the
dispersion ofthe light of lamps, bv means OF
shades, by Count Rumford, was lately read
at the National Institute Of France, in illus
tration the principle of anew lamp which
he has invented. He controverts the idea
that semi-transparent shades, which soften
the light of Argrand lamps cause any loss
OF light, and recommends that shades Of
roushened glass be more generally adopted,
as they prevent the hurtful effects OF direct
light upon the eve, better than any other
shades. With respect to this glass, he OBJ
serves, that it is by no means OPAQUE, for
In the operation of roughening, it's surface
acquires en- uninterrupted collection OF as
perities, through which the light passes as
easily IS through Gear glass. These small
surfaces disperse the cylindrical pencil. OF
rays, transforming them into cones; and
the loss OF light is by no means 50 consider.
able, as when shades are used of Grape or
cause. He recommends that the shades in
general should be made larger than they u
suaily are, as the larger their size, the less
1unui US they appear when looked at
He also adds, thatif the windows of houses
IN courts and alleys were glazed with rough
ened 81 IS, they would admit much more
light than is obtained through clear panes /;
as, i'll the latter case, the rays fall On the
glass at so susll IN angle of Incidence, that
they are mostly thrown cfiby reflection, m
stead OF entering the room. The account
of his new lamp, the object Of which is TO
savelght inthe Illumination oflsrge rooms,
is too complex TO be described in cur limits.
