AN IMPORTANT DISCOVERY CONNECTED
WITH RAILROADS.
From the London Observer.


During the last month or six weeks, crowds Of
persons, evidently of superior class Of society,
have, to the great surprise of the inhabitants of
the quiet neghborhood of Solo, been seen wend-
ing towards, and inquiring their way to, an OBJ
scure house, NO. Carlisle street, near Soho
Square. In the course Of the past week, the ex-
element has greatly increased by vast assem-
blage Of the nobility, members of the administra-
ton, fellows Of colleges and of scientific institu-
tons, eminent engineers, naval architects survey
ors, railroad directors, painters, and whole host
OF the patrons of the arts and sciences, all OF
whom were, las we found out by following in the
wake) attracted thther by the exhibition Of mo-
del Of locomotive steam engine, which, with
other new and apparently simple inventions act
ing and harmonising Herewith, are destined to
work the following wondrous changes and i'm
provements in the present system of steam car
riage conveyance desderatum and "consun,-
nation devouty TO be wished.'
'Ihe engines and trains cannot possibly go of
the railway or upset.
They can run on any required curve with
speed, safety, and a minimum degree of friction.
"They can ascend and descend all activities
that can be required in railways, and with speed
and convenience.
"They are relieved of all the lightweight rem
dered necessary by the present system, and are
no neayier than Is required TO bear the load OF
goods and passengers.
1.-The carriages, bodies and weight, will be al
most on the ground.
"They will be less expensive than those at
present in use; and the immense expenditure Of
tunnclling, entertainments, cuttings, &c. &C., will
be entirely avoided.
"The repairs of the railway, the wear and
tear of the engines and trains, will be much less
expensive than those now in use.
: 1.-The Inconvenience and enormous outlay of
cutting through parks other peculiarly situated
property is avoided by the power of giving the
line any desired direction
The ingenious inventor and patentee of this
new system, which he illustrates with great clear
ness, is Mr.. HOLMAN, gentleman we'll known
and much respected and admired in the scientific
circles. He attends in Carlisle street three days
week, for the purpose of exhibiting his models
and engine, the latter of which has been beauti-
fully manufactured at an expense Of $500, and is
on the scale of one and half inches to foot.

a Naval Incident.-Lieutenan Patterns Ode
"Come, let us die like men," reminds us of an in
cident which occurred on board the United States
ship of the line Delaware, while stationed in the
Mediterranean few years since. The ship took
FIRE near the magazine-and, Of course, caused
much alarm throughout the ship, as i. was mo-
mentarily expected that the fire would communi-
cate to the powder, and blow the whole ships
company sky-high. At such time, when death
was staring every one in the face, some unwoned
confusion and disregard of the established rules
of discipline might naturally be expected But
the first Lieutenant, Thomas w. Wyman, who
now commands the corvette John Adams, on the
East India station, by his GOODNESS and decision
of character, worthy Of admiration, checked at
the outset any symptom Of characterization, and
restored confidence TO the terrified crew. He or
dered them sternly to attend to their respective
duties, and added, "T ne must die, let as meet
death as brave men should" This exhortation
operated like magical influence on the minds OF
the men. They went coolly and systematically
a. work under the direction Of their officers, and
the fire was soon Observation-Disclosures Jor.

recognize it as the herald, and representative,

tuates, and providenally governs; for the more
terrible the agitation of the Winds and waves, and

THE ASTONISHING BLACKSMITH.

Mr.. Chick, an excellent artisan, sent ont bv
the London Missionary Society, in 1921, was The
hrst European smith who settled in the interior of
Madagascar, and to him the natives of Ankova
especially indebted for their improvements in the
art OF working in iron. He reached the capital
in 1922, and fixed his residence at Amparibe.
where ne erected his shop, and fitted il up in the
European style, as far as circumstances would
admit. Mr.. Chick was himself powerful man
and the tools, the bellows the anvil and the large
sedge hammer which he used, filed the natives
with the greatest establishment. The report Of
his great strength soon reached the palace; and.
shortly after he began his work, the king, with
number Of his officers, paid him a visit. Mr..
Chicks boys were at work at an anvil of middlinq
size; spare one, of considerable weight. was
standing on the floor in another part of the shop:
and the King, after looking about with admiration
for some time told his officers to lift the anvil that
was standing on the floor. Each in turn put forth
his utmost strength, but could not raise it from
the ground. "What!" said the King, are YOU
all conquered! Let me try" His Majesty then
loid hold of it with all his might, add tried to
raise it from the ground, but with no better sue
cess than his officers. Ankazay," said the
King, :" ayelao mba atlas ny vazaha ankohi, triny
let the white man try now" Mr..
Chick then lifted the anvil to considerable
height from the ground, to the surprise of all pre-
sent; and it is singular to notice the first impress
sion which this evidence of the superior strength
OF the Englishman produced on the minds of the
King and his suite: they all concurred in declar-
ing that it would be dangerous to fight with such
a man.-ELis' Madagascar.

Coal Uo;,s on Evre.-Our readers will remem-
Der that during the severe cold in January, two
persons were destroyed in Mr.. L. G. Dougher-
tvs works at Coal Castle, from incautously plac-
ing fire in the drift. We regret to state that
the flames on that occasion communicated to the
breast and proppings, and have been ignited ever
since, and up to this time the element has baffled
every exertion to subdue it. 1t would surprise
some of our friends who think that white ash
coal cannot burn without strong draugh, to see
a whole mine in flames which cannot be smoth

eventually be compelled, Cyrus like, to turn the
course of some stream and drown it out.-Pons
