HANDLING MELTED METALs.-A late number of
Sillimans Journal of Science has interesting ar
tcle on the handling of melted metals, in which
Bouiigny's experiments are given. He divided with
his hand, ii is stated jet of melted metal or FIVE
six centmetres, which escaped by the trap, and
plunged the other hand into PIT filled with incan-
descent metal Both hands come out of the ordeal un-
injured. The only precautions the expermenier

New OVERLAND ROUTE THROUGH MExIco-We
have received from Capt. Jonas P. Levy. map of
section of Mexico illustrating the direction Of pro-
posed route from New York to San Francisco, via
New Orleans, Tampco Vera Cruz and Alvarado
thence across the continent to the little port of Hua
tulcO the Pacific, whence steamers to be run
San Francisco. According to this map. the exclusive
privilege of making the road granted to Captain
Levy, on the 9th of February, 1850. by the Mexican
Congress. The capital is to be Sl.000,000 in SlOO
shares. The map before Us, representing this ROUTE
is calculated TO give very incorrect idea of that part
OF Mexico through which ii must pass. Taking Its
outline of the shores of the Pacific and the Gulf as
the relative of distance, road from Alyars-
do to Huatulco, would be little than $50 miles
IN length whereas, the shortest route for railroad
between the two points could hardly fall short Of 400
miles.
The little port Of Huainlco, (Or Guatulco, as it is
sometimes spelt,) lies the Gulf of Tehuantepec-
not outside of it, as represented on the map--aboui
100 miles west of the port of Tehuantepec, and $50
souh-east of Acapulco. A railroad connecting il
with Alvarado would pass, for the most part, through
the TERRA Caente, tropical region Of Mexico.

Danish Farm-Uouses.

The Danish farm. steadings are almost uniform
" built in the form of square-a fashion which
has descended from the time of the old Scandlna-
vians, whose principle it was to construct their
babitatons toward the four cardinal points or
quarters of the heavens. One side is occupied by
the dwelling. house, generally with one or two
kinds houses attached; the other two by the sta
BILE, cow-house and sheep stalls; the fourth by
barn. AT the back is generally kltchen'S arden,
with fruit trees and flowers. The stack.yard,
filed with stacks, which generally have much
more ragged and untidy appearance than those OF
English build, stands at the side. The whole Is
surrounded by rough stone wall, the materials
for which have generally been obtained from the
granite boders once beautifully scattered over
the surface of Denmark, most of which have now
been removed and broken up for roads and build
ings In barren and uhinlypopuated districts,
these homesteads have much the look oil islands In
the midst of sea of corn or pasture. Long, low
and narrow with Whitewashed walls and thatched
roofs they exactly resemble the old style IN when
the Scottish farm houses used TO be pulit. Inc
COURTYARD inside generally contains heap OF ma
nure from the byres, In the homesteads OF large
farms of modern erection, the square form IS only
adopted when it happens to be the most conVe-
nient for the locality but both single homesteads
and hamets containing perhaps twenty different
farm houses, of older date, are always lald OUT
strictly on duadrangular plan There Is sloVen'
illness enough observable both outside and IN tue
cattle houses the buildings too, have stood the
storms of century or two in most cases, and
wear not unfrequenty rather ricketty look In
side you will find plenty to eat and drink, and
rude but not uncomfortable style of housekeeping.

Moral PURPOSE IN LIrERATURE.-The nor
arich Courier concludes notice of MTcHELL's
Rcreries Of a Bachelor with the following aapient
COUNSEL
When MIR. Mitchell lays such juvenilities aside
and applies himself with great moral purpose to
benefit somebody or something, and achieve some
higher object than areputaton Tor literary ability
we predict for him measure OF success that shall
Justly inspire the respect and admiration OF the
public.
With all due respect to cur contemporary Leu us
say that the talk about great moral purpose Is
quite often cant and humbug, and that this looks
very much like one of the instances. Most books
which are written with great moral purpose
and enforce their text at the turning of every cor
ner, are very worthless for almost any use butt
trunkmakers; while the author who moves the
sympathies and reaches the springs OF the soul,
sends his readers forth into the world with greater
strength and more generous purposes for the work
Of life. Mr.. Mitchell's book is written from tho
heart to the heart, and those who are blessed with
that noble entrail will hardly read it without feel
ag the moral of its pages.

more than those Of the same month IN the pteced
inc year, and for the past three weeks they nave
increased 81 600 per week over the correspond
ing weeks of last year. The floating debt has all
been paid, the number of sharesreduced, and there
remains handsome cash surplus on hand.
Northern Railroad shares are in good demand
in the Boston market, and it is believed they will
advance to $50 per share. Land stocks have re-
ceded in value
The Canal Commissioners Of Pennsylyaniahaye
made essential reductions in the rates OF Roll on
the State works The reduction which amounts
TO about 25 per cent of the former tolls on through
