One Of the most important discoveries
Of modern times Is the great improve.

as that Of raising it's temperature by
steam. Simple az il appears, It 10 only

extensive and very important use. We
give it us it is,
Mr.. Violitter has lately presented to
the Academy Of Sciences in Paris, very
able communication on the desiccation of
different kinds Of wood by steam. He
stated that steam raiSsd to 4S2 degrees
Fab. was capable oftuking up q consid.
cradle quantity Of water, and acting up.
on this knowledge he submitted different
kinds Of oak, elm, pine and walnut, about
8 inches long aud half all inch square TO

wards raised 10 4ss degrees.
The wood was exposed thus for two
hours. It was weighed befUre Il was OK.
posed to the steam, and afterwards put
Into close stopped bottles until cool,
when the samples Of wood were again
weighed and showed considerable loss Of
weight, The loss Of which increased with
the Increase Of the temperature Of the
steam For elm and oak the decrease in
weight was one half, ash and walnut
tWe.hfths, and pine sne-third. The
weeds underwent change of color as the
heat was rising from 395 degrees to 4S2;
the walnut became very dark, showing a
kind Of tar, formed in the wood by the
process, which was found to have a pre-
serving effect on the wood.
ltwas found wood thus treated became
strongsr-having an increase in the pow.
or Of resisting fracture. The maximum
heat ofproducing the best fracture resist
ling power for elm was between 302 and
347 degrees, and between 267 and 3o2
for the oak. walnut and pine. The oak
was increased in strength 6ve-ninths,
walnut one.half, two-flhs for pine, and
more than one. fifth for elm. These are
but preliminary experiments which may
lead to very important results. and are
therefore interesting to architects espec-
tally. By this process, the fibres Of the
wood are drawn closer together, and ma
pie and pine treated in the steam at a
temperature of 4s2 were rendered far
more valuable for musical instruments
than by any other process heretofore
known. This is valuable information to

LATER FoM IRELAND DIREoT.-The
fine ship Element, of Portland. Capt. Nc
Near. arrived at this port yesterday. in
the short passage oftwenty-one days from
Cork, having left that port on the 9th
inst. The Element brings about $50
passengers. When she sailed several
vessels were loading with passengers for
this country, and if accounts be reliable
we shall soon see such a swarm as will
render the emigration Of previous years
a mere bagatelle. Among those now
coming are many who were formerly land
holders, but have been reduced TO power

OF the cause is onward and to it no one can
