versel with Mr. Perkins on h. sebi.et.
| VIII merely mention the principle on
winch the Improvement is founded. He
was never able TO account for the fact.
that the bottom of copper vessel is
burnt through, even when kept full Of
water. 1t occurred to him, at length.
that whenever a great heat is appIicd.
there is always a large space between
bottom and the water, occupied by
steam, which acts as anon-conductor.-
His object then was to place the water
under such pressure, that it should be
kept in contact with the bottom of the
vessel, and that no room should be left
for the admission of steam, and thsra
of course all the caoric would be trans
mitted into the water This he has eff
fected, and a saving is made of rihe-
tenths of the fuel usually consumed
The wateris raised to the Temperatures
of 400 or more degrees of Fahrenheit!
and OH its escape from the boiler is con-
verted into steam. This system unites
the objects which were wanting to rem.
der the steam engine useful on long
voyages. Ii is worked with so little
fuel that it will be no inconvenience to
carry enough for the longest voyages
and the machine occupies but the
tenth part of the space ofthe old ones.
Indeed, one vessel is now preparing to
sail on an engine Of this construction, of
sixty horse power
1T is said that Mr.. P. has had great
offers made him for rights to use his
invention. lie offers to make engines
at half the price ofWatt and Bolton, and
demands only one-third of the value OF
the savings in fuel. One singular fact
is observed, viz that the higher the
temperature of the water is, the lower
is that Of the steam-Ihat of boiling
water, at certain distance, scalds--
that OF water at temperature of 400
degrees at the same distance is merely
tepd. 1t is explained on the principle
OF its extreme expansion. Perkins thinks
that he would raise the water TO SO high
a temperature, that the steam would be
converted into sno,c. lie is certainly
playing strange tricks with his mechc.
MICS. A great number of lords all.
ladies have been to see his Workshop
and the sarans, among others Mr.. VOL
laston and Sir Humphrey Davy, though
at first incredulous, are now satisfied Of
the truth of his pretentons. The Mar
quis of-----told him he would engage
to go to America with him, if no
would carry him in Is days Perkins
told him he thought he could do it in
something less.-People amuse them
selves in speculations of what changes
are to be produced by this invention
sails and rigging, OF course, will be laid
aside, and people expect soon to see a
steam engine travelling along the roads
instead ofhorses-and as the explosive
power Of steam can be made greater
than than that of gunpowder, the same
power which moves the cannon may
discharge the balls, and all the'batteries
may be converted into flying artillery.
Mons. Gautier "a nephew of the bal
loon man) carries his views still higher,
and suggests that a small engine be
found very useful in giving direction to
balloons, by operating on something in
the shape Of wings -

We have just perused "Capt Frank
Inns Journey to the Polar Sea-" and
can truly say that it is a work of no or
binary merit
1t is but our duty to declare, the
world owe much to the persevering eff
forts OF the British nation, in making
discoveries on land as well as by sea
With peculiar pleasure we reflect upon
the energy of her Cooks, her Ansons.
her Mackenzies, her Parrys, and a host
OF other mertorious officers, who have
undergone the most severe hardships s..
deprivations, to add to the stock of hui
man knowledge.
Capt. Franklin, in the present work,
has done much towards facilitating a
voyage from Wager Bay to Copper
NINE River, and we agree with him
when he states, he believes a passage
very practicable, entirely across the
northern extremity of America. This
.dea is no longer a chimere. He has
little doubt of the success of Parry.
Its butjushce to state that one thing
has surprised me very much. with re-
gard to the expedition set ON foot by the
British government Why have they.
almost universally, excluded scientific
men from their expeditions? The an
s"er 10 tins can only be, that they were
projected for political and commercial
purposes.

IMPROVEMENTIN BEDS.

An Englishman has made an improve
ment in this necessary article, which is
peculiarly novel and highly ecconomi-
cal. He proposes to render the bed
impervious to air, then to fill it by
means OF an air pump, or condensinS
syringe, with common atmospheric air
instead of down or feathers. The air is
introduced by an aperture or tube into
the case, & prevented from returning by
means of an air tight stop-cock or valve
The case may be made imperyious to
air by various methods but that re-
commended by the patentee is a COM
position of Indian rubber, spirits oftur-
pentine, and linseed oil, which when
dry is exceedingly pliable, and SO elias
tic, that ifthe cloth be folded in sharp
corners, it viii not crack or peel off. -
The advantages of this method of con-
structing beds and pillows, are their
superior degree of elasticity, aifording
the most refreshing and easy repose in
the warmest climate they may, when
required, be changed from the greatest
degree offs oftness to the hardness of a
mattrass, by moving the handle of the
air pump, which is placed commodious-
ly within reach or may be rendered
soft to any required degree, by the exs
hausting pump, also within reach, They
may be made fresh s, cool, by char \
ing the air, by the alternate use of ~
air pumps. This may be effected in
few minutes without removing the per-
son who occupies the bed Hence great
advantage TO invalids.-Fos medical
purposes they may be iilled"iih air at
any required temperature or With

advantages, be derived from has lngc-
