steamboat EA pIosions.

A writer in the Journal of Commerce
,hus describes an invention 10 prevent
boilers from bursting, patented by Mr..
Barnum, and in successful operation on
board the steamboat Crolon:
This apparatus, consists Of q float up
on the surface Of the water in the boiler,
which Of course sinks as the quantity Of
water in the boiler diminishes, and low
crs ono end Of c lever to which is at
iached q rod with button on the end,
which opens an orilice by which the
oPam escapes fccm the boiler, and is
lducted 10 { separate engine, which
ms water into the boiler until the
lJJat has reached its proper elevation,
xben the steam is shut off. Now II viii
he perceived that this plan cannot fail
10 keep the boiler full of water if it ope-
-ates properly. But should the water
fail to be pumped in, the float sinks still
lower, and another stopper IS removed,
and steam is conveyed directly into the
cnGine room, telling the engineer, IN
announce no, TO be misunderstood, TO
pump water into the boiler. Every con
tinodncy seems TO be provided for. This
process is performed as well when the
vessel is at rest, as in motion; and the
foam of the water in the boiler cannot
prevert the salutGry action.
The use Of a float 10 Indicate the dc
presson OF water, is not new, bat we are
not aware Of having before read Of &
connecting apparatus TO make the esca
ping steam pump more water into the
boiler. This,it. seems to us, may be q
valuable improyoment,--NeO Era.

PoTATo.-It is 272 years since pota-
toes were first known IN Europe. They
were introduced into ireland, during the
reign of Queen Elizabeth in 1865, by
Capt John Hawkins, who brought them
from Santa Fe, in South America. 1t
is said that they were first planted by
Sir Walter Raleigh, who had an estate
in ireland; but the natural history Of the
potato was SO little understood at that
time, that Sir Walter resolved to re-
nouncc the expectation he had formed
Of bringing this exotic to perfection in
that country. When in due'time, after
he had planted the first potatoes, the
stalks grew up, and he perceived upon
the stem green apple, he thought that
was the fruit, which he had no idea Of
being concealed under the earth. He
caused some Of these apples to be. boiled
but finding them naQseous to the taste,
he concluded that he had lost his labor;
and for some time thought no more Of
potatoes. However, having some time
after given directions that the ground
should be dag up, or ploughed, TO his
very great surprise he found plentiful
crop of fruit, which proved most CRATE
ful 10 the taste. They soon got into
general use, and became the principal
food of the Irish poasantry.
