The A Alpine Horn is an instrument naade
of the bark OF a cherry tree, and, like a
spsaking-trumpet, is used to convey sounds
to great distance. When the las, rays of
the san gild the summit Of the Alps, the
shepherd who inhablts the highest peak Of
these mountains takes his horn and cries
with loud goice-''P be the Lord.".
As soon as the aeighboring shepherds hear
him they leave their huts and repeat these
words. The sounds are prolonged many
minutes, while the echoes of the mountain
and grottos of the rocks repeat the name Of
God. Imagination cannot picture any
thing more solemn and sublime than such a
scene. During the silence that sue ceeds.
the shepherds bend their knees and pray
in the open air, and then repair SO their
huts to rest. The sun gliding the tops Of
these stupendous mountains upon which the
vault of heaven seemsto rest, the magnifi-

shepherds sounding from rock to rock the
praise ofthe Almighty, must fill the nina
of every traveller, with enthusiasm and

Something New.

A factory has been established at Gal.
weston, by 6, Borden, Jr, called the
"Meat Biscuit Factory" The meat bis.
cult is newly: y::discoverediar.icle of food,
and highly esteemed on account of its ali
mentary qualities, and for the length Of
time it may be preserved. The factory
contains ON engine of ten horse power,
which drives the machinery, consisting of
biscuit machines to knead, roll, and cut
the dough, a grist mill to pulverize the bis.
cult, and the guillotine for mincing the
meat, to facilitate the boiling. The Ciril.
7san contains the following account of the
process of manufacturing the biscun:
"There are four wooden cauldrons or
tabs for boiling the meat and evaporuting
the liquid or broth-ths two for boiling the
meat, holding Q 500 gallons, will each
boil 1900 pounds OF meat in twelve to
sixteen hours. The other two, for evapo.
rating, will contain some l400 gallons
each. All the tubs are heated or boifed by
steam passing through long coiled iron
pipes, Supplied at pleasure either from the
escape steam from the engine or direct
from the boiler. t:- .....z...s
"When the meat is so far boilsd or mace
rated that the liquid or broth contains the
entire natrin,ent, the nneaty or corpereous
portions are separated by simple process
of filtering, SO that the broth goes info the
