" RAISING THE WIND. THE Union of this
morning contains long article, which reveals
u new plan for the publication of the atmo-
sphere of cities. 1t is to be done by means of
air tunnels of any desired length, through
which, by means of machinery, the inyigorating
shore, may be forced in large Volumes and at
air of forest or mountain regions, or Of the sea-
a velocity of eighty miles an hour, into cities,
and introduced into dwellings, workshops, hos
pitfalls, &C., by means as simple as the waters
of distant rivers are conveyed to the crowded
abodes of men. Epidemics, the writer thinks,
might be arrested in cities by this means and,
MS luxury, the pure air Of northern imported
into a southern climate The writer also thinks
the United States mails could be propelled by
the wind through such channels, in globular
pouches.
Until the plans of this writer shall be full
filed we think another means of cooling and
purifying the atmosphere in houses might be
adopted with great advantage, and at very
small expense. 1t is simply the introduction to
the lower rooms of the elephants snout." On
ship board the lowest depths of the vessels are
well ventilated by means of little sail set to
the wind, and receiving in it's concavity the
breezes, which descend through a canvass tube
to any desired apartment. This tube is con-
stantly inflated, and in it's wagging motions
suggests to the mind the idea of the trunk OF
an elephant; and hence the name given it by
the sailors, who inhale its grateful breath
We remember reading in the newspapers,
short time after the subsistence of the great
scourge Of '32, accounts of the exemption from
disease of certain prisons, having high walls
and light and ventilation from above. We can
not now refer to the particular instances, for
they have passed from our mind; but we think
there were cases of the kind in New Orleans,
where the cholera and yellow fever were so
fearfully blended. Medical men, who observe
the sanatory influences of such things, can no
doubt call to mind many cases in point, sug-
gestive of the greater purity and healthfulness
of the upper stratum of air.
If we are correct in our conclusions respect
ing the advantages of this thing, we would urge
its general adoption, not as substitute for the
stupendous plan of the writer whose communi.
cation is before US, but as a means of tempo
rary relief, while his scheme shall be under
discussion or in the course of fulflment.

all was over. The FIRE was extinguished!
| was so much astonished at the marvel
lous results of which was an eye-wit-
ness, that | fastened to discover and vis-
it the inventor of this Fire Annihilator.
At his establishment I examined the ma
chine, and tried several experiments, each
of which satisfied me that this is beyond
all question the most valuable discovery
of the age.
The vapor contained in this little ma
chine acts upon flame exactly as the damp
in well actsupon alighted candle Flame
cannot exist an instant in the vapor The
Vapor rushes, from the little machine with
as much force as steam flies from the es-
cape-pipe ofa steam-engine, and fame falls
before it as quick as the lightnins's aayl..
The effect is inconeesvable, and the tri-
.umph over fire is marvellous beyond con-
ception. A great and valuable addition
to the utility of this invention is that this
vapor can be breathed without injury
The consequence is, man with one of
these little machines may protect himself
with the vapor and enter into the midst
of the fercest flames with perfect impu-
nifty. They fall before him in an in
slant!
Depend upon it, that sarcely house
in America viii be without one or more
of these machines within year, and you
will see that the fire insurance Offices and
fire engine companies will be numbered
among the things that were. The amount
of property and human life, of toll and
trouble, that this little miracle will save,
is beyond computation.

A Curious Beauesf.

NJ. x, a rich farmer in the neighbor-
hood of Pithivers, (France,) died short time
ago. A few days before his end, which he
felt was approaching, he sent for his lawyer,
and having made his will he enjoined upon
him to have it read to his heirs before the fu-
neral. The lawyer promised, and x,
having died, he proceeded the next day to the
house of mourning, all the heirs duly assem-
bled. But what must have been their aston
ishment when they heard the last curious be-
quest! 81 wish my body to be 'embalmed
and placed in the vault where my father and
mother rest. wish to be seated in large
red arm chair, beside marble table, in po-
sition of man taking his meal. I desire
that person Ga female) should keep me COM
pany for one year and one day, and all this per-
son shall ask, should be given her, as if | cal
led for it myself To that person who must
not be chosen from among the heirs, | be-
queath forty thousand francs, and give her
leave to go out two hours each day to take
the fresh air." Such is the queer story rela-
ted by the French papers. Thousands of ap-
plications are daily received by the executor
of the rich deceased, from nurses and old Cos
sips anxious of the honor of keeping the COM
pany of the queer individual, and lingering
the reward.
