less. in my opinion than Comet OF immense

here that are able to enghten US such interest

is as near description Of 1t as am able to give

direction. Il can be seen as soon as It begins to
grow dark, and sets at present about half-past g.
although each night it sets later, which Of course
will make 1t visible TO US for longer time. When
first seen the lower point or head is about 20 or
% degrees from the horizon, with the tail extend
ing about 40 degrees nearly perpendicular in The
sky, incIinng about ) degrees to the Northward.
The tail is very bright, while the mead is hardly
perccptible with the naked eye In looking at it
with common ships sp}-gass, it appears TO be
about as large star OF the third magnitude; the
upper part is from TO two degrees broad there
is slight curve in 1t, which | suppose is caused
by the velocity with which it moves through
space. From the middle TO the upper part | can
see. with the glass, stars through the tail You
hardly conceive what magnificent sight it is as
it fills nearly half the distance from the horizon
to the zenith, and appears like huge luminous
pole stood up III the sky. It's first appearance
seems to have been on about the lst inst.

CHINESE Tools AND CHINESE MECHANICS
Though their ron work is not good yet Their
tools, such ciisclS planes, axes. &c, arc ex-
celIcnt and kept very sharp They make use Of
the circular instead of the hand-saw. They have
"a saw for particularly fine work. which, if we had
not seen them using, we should have imagined
the work had been with a chisei. The blade Of
IL consists merely of 4 single piece OF brass wire
Jagged with sharp instrument. The pattern 10
be carved is placed OH the wood, and a hole Is
bored in it. through which the wire is passed and
made fast TO the handle, Whicllls kept outside the
wood; the drawing is then cut out with the
greatest care and accuracy. For all rough work,
they make use OF small sort of axe, slightly
rounded on one side This answers the purpose
of an adzc. In peaceful times the streets of
Chinese city must present very fine appearance,
from the way the front sldc-boards are painted
and gildcd The insdes of the shops are protect
ed from the sun b. screens extending across the
streets, supported from the roof of the house.
These are either Of mating, or, in order TO admit
the light arc of oystcr-shells scraped fine, set IN
fru,rcs like punes OF glass. We set great many
tailors to work for US, who made things very well
if they had good pattern but it is necessary to
be careful that there was defect or patch in 1t.
for they copied exactly as they saw the article
before them Our gloves puzzled them most.
Their first attempts TO initiate them produced
most absurd looking things but, as we were not
very particular about our personal appearance,
they answered the purpose OF keeping our hands
warm, being lined with fur. Only one man sue
cceded III turning out pair at all resembling
English gloves. They were almost the only
trades-people who did not desert the city, and
they had always plenty to do.
