Island off the coast of Maine-an old
fisherman By the name Of yedediah Spin
net who owned a schooner Of some hun
dred tons burthen, IN which he. together
with some four stout sons, was wont to 90
about once n year, to the Grand Banks,
for the purpose of catching Goldfish The
old man had five things, upon the peculiar
merits Of which he loved to boast-his
schooner. Betsy Jenkins" and his four
sons. The four sons were all that their
father represented them to be. and no one
ever doubted his word. when he said that
their like was not TO be found for fifty
miles around The oldest was thirty-two.
whilst the youngest had just comp pleted
his twcnty-sixth year. and they answered
to the names Of Seth, Andrew. John and
Samuel
One morning a stranger called upon

Of any kind One morning, however a

was not much time allowed them for

NteaIn and Stame.

On Wednesday evening Mr. James
Frost delivered lecture on the discovery
of 4 new element called Stalne, which is
produced from Steam He showed, that
it required but four degrees of heat ap-
piled To steam to double volume of It
heated apart from water. This substance,
thus acquired from the heating of steam,
Is donOniuated Stame. and Is considered
a distinct chemical element more econon-
Ical and immens ely greater in value than
steam. Mr.. Frost pointed out q vast
variety of uses, to which motive power
sp,ccanomical could be put; particularly
its applicability to locomotives or coaches
on common and plank roads
The general result showed that more
than six times the motive force was real
ize6 from equal quantities of heat and
water, when employed to actuate the en-
CINE with heated steam or stame, than
was obtained from the use of natural
stcam-each beirg alike produced from
the same constant fire and time, and
same engine. which engine, apparatus and
scientific instruments are described in
this work: and testimonials of competent
and respectable engineers are open for in
s. ection MIR. Frost had working model
in the room, and gave actual experiments
