MISCELLANY Y
The New Motive Power.

The Cincinnati Atlas announces the dis.
covery, by a Mr.. Solomon, of a new motive
power. We quote:
On Monday last, an engine was kept in
operation during the day, and hundreds of
spectators Witnessed and were astonIshed al
its success. The motive power is obta ined
by the generation and expansion, by heat, of
| carbonlc acid gas. Common white SULPHUR
lc acid and water are used in generating this
| gas, and the boiler in which these compo-
| nent parts are held, is similar in shape and
size to a common bomb-shel. A small fur
mace, with handful Of ignited charcoal fur
nishes the requisite heat for propelling this
engine OF 25 horse power. The relative
| power OF steam and carbOnc acid is thus
! stated: Water at the boiling point gives a
pressure of Is lbs. 10 the square inch with
the addition of 80 deg. of heat the power is
double, giving 80 lbs. and SO on, doubling
with every addition OF 80 degrees Of heat,
until we have $40 lbs. under heat of 452
degrees-a heat which no engine can endure.
But with the carbon, 20 degrees of heat over
boiling point gives ,0S0 lbs; 40 degrees give
2,16O lbs.; so degrees 1920 lbs-that is, 4SO
| lbs. greater power with this gas than 45l de-
grees OF heat give by converting water into
steam. Not only does this invention multi
ply power indefinitely, but II reduces the ex-
penses to a merely nominal amount. The
item of fuel for first class steamer between
Cincinnati and New Orleans, going and re-
turning,is between $1,000 and $1,000; where
as, SIS will furnish the material for propellng
the same distance by carbon. Attached 10
the new engine is also an apparatus for con-
| densing the gas after il has passed through
the cylinders and returning it again to the
starting place thus using it over and over,
and allowing none TO escape. While the en-
gine was in operation on Monday, it lifted a
weight OF 1900 lbs. up the distance Of five
feet perpendicular, five times every minute.
The weight was put on by way of expert
ment, and does by no means indicate the full
power of The engine. MIR. Solomon will
Immediately commence the construction OF
another engine on The same principle, Of $50
horse power"

Glue made Waterproof.

A mechanic in Albany has just made an
experiment which promises 10 be of much
advantage by making glue perfectly water
proof, and having the property of drying i'm
nedately after its application. His method,
we learn, is first TO mmerse common glue in
cold water, until il becomes perfectly soft,
but yet retaining It's original form after
which, it is TO be dissolved in common raw
lnseed oil, assisted by gentle heart, until
it becomes entirely taken up by the latter,
after which il may be applied to substances
for the adhesion TO each other, in the way
common glue is applied. Il dries almos,
Immediately, and water will exert no action
upon II. IL is unnecessary 10 say for how
many valuable purposes in the arts this ap-
plicaton may be used. Fer cabinet makers

Reader, did you ever move? II so you

fusion -
"Come, Sally, catch hold here and give us

A gentleman of considerable talent as an
orator, became member of the legislative
society in one OF the Eastern States In
speaking he was addicted to an odd habit of
handling his spectaces : first placing Them
on his nose--suffering them to remain min,
ute or two-ihrowing them upon his forehead
and finally folding them up and laying them
before him on the desk. One day very inn
portant question came up for consideration,
and he commenced a speech in opposition.
A friend 10 the proposed measure, who was
most incorriglble wag wthal, determined
10 spoil the effect of the honorable members
remarks, and accordingly, before he entered
the house, provided himself with dozen pair
OF spectacles. The member commenced his
speech with his usual ability But few mo-
ments elapsed before he was at work with
his specacles, and finally cot them upon his
forehead Al this juncIure our wag, who
stood ready, laid another pair on the desk
before the speaker. These were taken up,
and by gradual gradaIions gained place OH
his forehead, by the side Of the other. A
third, fourth and fifth pair were disposed of
in the same manner. A smile settled upon
the countenances of the honorable members,
which gradually enlightened into n grin, and
at last, when the speaker had warmed into
one OF MS most patrioilc ana elegant sem
tences, he deposited a sixth pair with the
others, and there was one long and loud peal
Of laughter from all quarters of the room
president, clerks, members, joined 10 the cho-
rus. The speaker looked round in astonish-
menf at this curious interruption; but raising
his hand, he grasped the speciacles, and the
whole force of The joke rushed upon his
mind. He dashed the glasses upon the floor,
took his hat and left the hall. The bill pass
ed by triumphant majority, probably in con-
sequence Of the gentle mans silly, useless
habit.

Enlistment of Minors in the
Army,

The enlistment Of young men of nineteen
and twenty years of age, who, after receiving
bounty money and clothes, apply for dis
charge under the law prohibiting the enlist-
ment of minors. is a source of great loss to
the Government. These applications for
discharge are very freq rent in this city. where
so many foreigners are enlisted before they
have been resident long enough 10 acquire
much knowledge Of our laws. The majority
of this class of recruits are natives of Ireland
all OF whom well know that homage is no
ground for discharge in the British service,
and are probably of the opinion that The reg
ulations of the United States army are sn,i-
lar. Landing here. in many cases destitute,
and not meeting with immediate employment
as laborers or mechanics, the prospect of
eight dollars month, with good food and
clothing, and little or no work, is too ca2ti-
waiting to be rejected, and a visit to the re-
cruiting office is determined upon.
The candidate for military life is instructed
by some acquaintance to answer the interrog-
arory as to his age in the affirmative, and the
enlistment is readily effecteds The racrnit
soon discovers thai more profitable employ
ment is procurabIe-he learns that the enlist
ment of q minor is void-and his prochein
ami forthwith sues out a writ of hdbedS corpus
requiring Col. A TO bring Patrick b before
his Honor Judge c, and show canse why the
said Patrick should not be discharged The
process is cheap and simple. Nothing is
more probable than that an illiterate man
should he mistaken in relation 10. his age
His more intelligent friends swear positively
that he was not twenty-one years old, but
twenty years and eleven months, or some-
thing less, at the time Of his enlistment, and
the discharge is thereupon granted.
The incessant occurrence Of this kind Of
transaction has been great annoyance to
the officers, aud they have determined TO re-
,aliate by causing the discharged soldier to
be arrested for obtaining subsistence. and
clothing under false pretences. They adopt
this course towards young Riley, whose dis
charge by one Of the Judges OF The Court Of
Common Pleas, was reported in the Com
rnercial on Saturday. The applicant 10 this
case was a sister Of the recruit, whose earn
ings as a domestic had been not long since

Out TO this country. Soon after his arrival he
enlisted, representing to the recruiting Officer

Carrying Bundles.

Many people have a contemplate fear of
being seen to carry any bundle, however
small, having the absurd idea that there is. a
social degradation in the act. The most
trifing as well as weighty packages must be
sent to them, no matter how much TO the in
convenience Of others. This arises from a
low kind Of pride. There is pride that is
higher; that arises from consciousness of
there being something in the individual not
10 be affected by such accidents, worth and
weight Of character.
This latter pride was exhibited by the
American son of Jerome Napoleon Bona
parte. While he was in Collegs at Cam
bridge, he was one day carrying to bis room
a broom he had just purchased, when be met
friend. who noticing the broom with sur
Prise. exclaimed, why did not you have it
sent home?
II am not ashamed TO carry home any
tbing which belongs 10 me- was the sensible
reply of young Bonaparle.
Very different pride was this from that OF
a Young lady whom we know, who always
gave her mother all the bundles 10 carr;
when they went out together. because she
thought il vulgar to be seen with one her.

A New Kind of Cheese.

An esteemed friend, 10 whose receipts We
have great confidence. has kindly furnished
MS with the following method Of making
good cheese;-
'Boil good white potatoes, and when cold.
peel and mash them till NOT a lump re-
mains. To five pounds thus prepared, add
pint half of sour milk, and as much salt
as may be deemed necessary TO season the
mess. Having worked it well let il be COW
cred from TWO to four days, according TO the
state of the weather, then work again, make
the cheese the size you like aud then let Them
dry in the shade. Alter they have become
sufficiently dry, place them in pots or pans.
and let them remain forinigh, or a month.
In this way cheese Of most excellent quail
ity may be made il can be be kept for years
without the least deterioration from the effect
of shippers, provided il can be kept dry. A
friend who had the pleasure of eating cheese
prepared in this manner, speaks OF it in the
highest terms.-MQme Farmer.
