Of sheet projecting forward, zone extremity of
which touches the ship, whilst the other adj
yances in the sea to considerable distance.
But this train Of vapors is MOI visible to the
hit; il escapes observation By be Transparent
cy of.ts particles. ana is confounded with o'her
fluids which compose the atmosphere.
But as soon as tue vessel arrives within cir
conference where 1t meets with other homoge-
nous vapors, such as those which escape from
land, this sheet, which TIL that time bad been
SO limpid and subtle, is suddenly seen to acquire
consistence and colo4r, by the mixture OF the
two opposite columns.
This change begins at the prolonged extremi-
ties, which by their contact are united, and ac-
quire colour and strength afterwards, in pro-
portion TO the progression Of the vessel the me-
tanlorphoss increases a1d reaches the centre; at
last the phenomenon becomes the more manifest,
and the ship masses its appearance.

MECHANISM.

A German Mechanic, of the name of
MAELzl, is now exhibiting at Paris, an au-
tomaton of a singular construction. The
figure exhibits Frumpeter in the unforns
of the Band Of the French Imperial Guards,
aud at the word Of command raises the
Trumpet to its mouth and playa some ex"
quisi,e pieces of martial music. The whole
of the mechanism is contained in the chest
OF the auiomaton ats feet rest upon board
to which casters are affixed, and the pro-
pretor moves it from place to place, 10 the
exhibition room, TO shew thai there is no
communication with any other Apartment.
In this respec! it is superior to the celcnra.
ted antomaton fiute-player of N. Fsncan-
son, which once made so much noise in
Europe this latter figure r.clned against
a wall, behind which some complicated ma.
chinery was supposed TO be placed. The
most wonderful part of NJ. I,Iatiai's auto
,naton, is the effect produced BY the lips of
the figure upon the trumpet, which are
made 10 exhibit all the tlrlicacy of touch
peculiar to the lips Of the human body. No
.jarring or cracking sound Of rlachinery is
TO be heard, although the ear be applied
close to the body OF the aptomaton nor eau
any musical sound be emitted unless when
the trurlpe, is applied to the mouth. At
the conclusion of the ezhlhitiou Il. Mael-
ri sits dawn to piano fcrtes and his trum-
peter performs an accompaniment TO sevt-
raj pieces OF music with all the precision Of
frs, rate performer. This artist has here
tofore distinguished himself by several im-
provemsnis 90 musica! ins,ruments.
