e The Savannah Georgian mentions
the discovery of an article which promises to
be the means of saving many lives in ship
wreck, and would be invaluable on our west
ern waters, so obnoxinus to damage from
snags and other accidents.
Ii is an air pillow, and is called Mackin-
tosh's Air Pillow. 1t is represented as being
the cleanest, soitest, most wholesome, cheap
est, and most durable pillow that can be used,

10 MAKE WATER BOIL BY COLD AND CEASE
TO BOIL BY HEAT.-Uaif til a florence flask
with water, place 1t over a lamp, and let it
boil for few minutes, then cork the mouth
OF the flask as expedi'iousiy as possible, and
tie slip OF moist bladder the cork to ex-
clude the air. The waller being now removed
t'om the lamp, the ebuliition will cease. but
may be renewed by pouring cold water gra-
duay upon the upper pat OF the flask; but,
il ho, water be applied, the boiling INSTANTLY
ceases. In Ibis manner the ebullitlon may
be renewed, and again made to cease, alter
na'eiv, by the mere application of hot and cold
water.
We shall, in this place, be more elaborate
than usual, aud give young friends the
theory of what causes the above phenomenon.
Be ii known, then, to all who are not preyi-
ouslv acquainted with the fact, that water bois
at 2I2 degrees under the common pressure
of our atmosphere Z: now, if the atmosphere,
part of it, were removed, the pressure on
the surface would be less, aud the conse-
queuce would be, that water would boil at a
much lower temperature and this leads us
to au explanation of what takes place III the
foregoing experiment. We fill flask halt
full of water, and boil ii for few minutes
over a lamp, the steam which rises forces out
the atmospheric air, and occupies It's place; );
we then remove the lamp, and secure the flask
so TO prevent the admission of "inos-
pheric air. If cold water be now poured over
that part Of the flask occupied by the steatn
the cold " condeuse the Sean which will

more interesting than is in tho power Of language
to Cescribe. For instances: on commencing he
informed the audience that he would induce state
Of catalepsy, or somnnmbulism, (Mr. Sunderland
calls it a state of Hypnopathy, or sympathetic
sleep,) in number of the audience, while he was
actually delivering his lecture. And, as marvel
Gus as 1t may seem, and in direct opposition to the
assumptions of the Neuroogists, and the believers
IN Mesmers theory. on concluding his lecture,
four persons were found to be in state of pro.
found sleep. Each of whom were utter strangers
to the lecturer; and, it was abundant!y testified
by their friends. that Mr.. Sunderland had never
seen or spake to either of them, before they were
found that mysterious sleep. And, what was
still moro remarkable, neither of the subjects
would speak word, or seem to hear any thing,
from any other person but the lecturer. One la.

giving her some direc tions as to where she should
go, she gradually raised her hand, with most
heavenly smile, and commenced most interest
ing description of what she saw. She addressed
the spirit of deceased brother, and broke ou,

she never sings when in the normal state she pov
sung in most heavenly strains, 80 much so that
many were affected to tears. And while all this
was going on upon the platform, one of the other
