Greatest Discovery of the Ege.

In December, 1880, we published edi-
torially an article with the above caption,
giving an outline statement of discovery
which had been made of a new motive
power, totally unconnccted with steam,
and which was likely to supersede steam
entirely, should the expectations Of the in
ventor as well as those of several scien-
titic gentlemen who had been intrusted
with the secret, be fully realized.-In
February following, We also stated that a
vessel was then preparing with this machi-
merry, to visit the Worlds Fair, if it could
be got ready in time We also stated that
a model engine had been in operation for
some time, practically, and had given the
fullest Satisfactorily received num-
Der Of communications from various parts
of the country, respecting this discovery !;
but as we were bound, as far as our own
information went, to hold our peace, We
made no reply to these inquiries private
ly; but said, in our paper, that when the
proper time arrived, the public would be
made fully acquainted with the character
of the discovery. That time has no~ ar
rired-the CALoRIc ENGINE OF ERICs-
SON, the celebrated Swedish mechanist,-
whose name is so well known throughout
the United Stases for his great mechani-
cal improvements-is in full operation in
the City of New York-there being two
engines, oHe of four and the other of sixty
horse power now, and for scverai months,
in daily operation at the foundry OF
Messrs. HoGG & DELAMATER.
The friends of Mr.. Ericsson are san.
guine of its feasibility, though the prinei.
pie of the engine was condemned in En-
gland, in 1888, by Brunei, the celebrA
ted engineer, and FARADAY, the eminent
chemist and scientific men in this coun
try have been free in expressing doubts Of
its practicability. The matter, however
will soon be submitted to that unfailins
test, experiment; for ship Of 20OO tons,
with engines on this principle, is nearly
completed in New York, where it is to b.
launched, about three weeks from the
present time. The following description
from Hunts -Msrchants Mayd@ine, show.
the construction Of the engine, the princi
pie upon which it is presumed to work
and its supposed working power.

receiving one dollar from all the /" indig-

and rich citizen, who refused any encour-
agcment, saying, eve have enongh to

which some good citizens do not at first
oppose, and which demagogues do not
take advantage of to serve their selfish
ends. Many opposed Turnpikes, and Ca
mails, and District Schools, and Telegraphs,
who now acknowledge that they are all
right, and are all doing good. The best
and most candid men throughout
the county are anxious to have the road
90 on, and know it must have money, and
are willing the County should go security,
as there is no other way to obtain the nee
essary funds.

Mode of Preserving Shingles on Roofs,

There is much for us to learn as to the
best mode of covering our houses. The
following is one of the modes practised to
some ex ent, and has proved, We believe,
quite satisfactory. We copy from the
Spindle City.
A gentleman in Groton gave us the other
day the manner in which he prepared his
shingles, before laying them on his house,
some six years ago; and on examination,
We found they had perfectly sound and
fresh appearance, as though they had been
laid not more than month
He had large boiler, which he filed
With whitewash, mixing With it about one
pound of potash to four gallons of liquid,
also about the same amount Of salt This
composition he boiled, and while it was
boiling, he dipped the shingles in, taking
handful at time, and holding them by
the tips. He had boards placed so that he
could set his shingles on them on end, and
let the liquid, as it ran Of them, run back
again into the boiler. The shingles he
allowed to dry in this position, before lay
lug them and his belief was, that by thus
curing or hardening them, they would last
much longer They could be colored red
or yellow, easily, 5y mixing red or yellow
ochre with the composition.
The expenses of shingling are consider
able, and something Ike the above is wor.
thy Of attention.

For the Lewisturg ChroE
Rail Road Subscriptions.

Two citizens of East Buffalo township,
one Of each political party, hearing much
aid of the willingness of the Antl-RalI-
road men to help build the Road by indi
r,doat Subscriptions, recently took sub
scrlption book. and made tour through
the Butfaloes, Hartley, Center, and Beaver.
As the resul, of their effort, over SEVEN
TUoIsANu DOLLARS additional were OBJ
tanned, Principally in small sums. Some
Of he pi,euomsaG Of their visits, they have
furnished Us for publication
IL TIE .fs,' p.acs, they were well pleased
with the kiuaues> anu courtesy with which
they were treated, particularly by their
brother farmers.
In the second place, they found that
wherever they were opposed to CoWnty the
Subscription except Messrs Guldin and
Rudy, Of Farmersvllle, and one or two
others-they made no iindiUiduai subscrip-
tons, either !: thus plainly showing that 1t
is opposition to the Road, and not to the
County Subscription, that actuates most
Of It's opponents.
In the hi;r1 place, the friends Of the
County Subscription, are the very men
who will make private subscriptions,
wherever they feel able. But the dificdl-
4 Of obtaining enough money IN these
times, convinces them
In the toarth place, that County Sub
scripton is the only means of getting the
Railroad.
They also agree in the opinion, that, as
the whole matter becomes better under
stood, it is better received, and that there
is nothing like the opposition to the Rail
road which the Times would make people
believe. One old man said, he at first
opposed the Road, but when he saw the
Times and Chorkcy make so. much fuss
about it, he thought, as the Indian did,
There is too much bush" The Wings
especially are beginning to see that it is a
political hobby Sf the Times and Charley,
who know that the Wings are in the ma
jOrity, and therefore they are so afraid
the dear pecple-O, the dear people,
will have their homes mortgaged, that
they have devised this scheme, with that
Of Volunteer Candidates, as their only
hope to get their favorites elected. This
is the game the Times now plays. But
the people want Railroad, aud they know
it can NOT be built without money. Where
Charley aud the Times saw the bugaboo
is plain to be seen, and the people alsc
begin to see it.
The opponents of the Road universally
argue, 40, We are in favor of the Railroad
but we want it done by individuals, and v,
will help in that way" Yet even Col

Retention of Manure BY the Soil.

!
!. 1t is not an uncommon opinion that un-
derdrains convey of the enriching an
soluble portions Of manures, dissolved AMI
carried down by rains. On this subject,
Prof Mapes makes the following remarks,
which as applicable to all ordinary cases
are strictly just:
"To suppose that manures in state Of
solution will be washed from the mouths
of underdrains, i. an error-for it is in
possible to filter downward in the fluid form,
through any fertile soil. Even the browns
liquor Of the barn yard will have all its
available constituents distracted by the
soil, before it descends in,o the earth thir-
ty-four inches If this were not true, cur
wells would have long since become use
less, the earth. surface would have become
barren, and the raw materials of which
plants are made, which now occupy the
earth surface and Surrounding atmosphere,
would have passed towards the earth's
centre but the carbon and alumna of the
soil, each Of which has the power of ab-
sorbing aud retaining the necessary food
of plants, are the agents for carrying into
effect the laws Of nature for the protection
Of vegetable growth"
The power of the soil to absorb manure,
Of which ammonia may be regarded as =
chief constituent, is of course limited
but it doubtless exceeds all ordinary cases
in practice Professor Way found that by
filterng portion Of putrid drainage water
through few inches of soil, it had lost
all bad odor, and contained no longer any
ammonia; but he also found that by filter
ing fresh liquids Of this sort, which had
not yet begun to putrify, through such a
layer of soil, they even lost all tendency
to purify. His experiments also prove
that the soil has the power of absorbing
potash, soda, maguesia, and phosphoric
acid, as well as ANN ,nia-and these with
lime form the chief elements Of manure.
The quantity of muriate of ammonis
absorbed by the soil, was found to be
about one grain in one hundred and fifty
the ammonia constituting less than one
third of this salt If, therefore, the aver
age quantity Of ammonia in yard manure
is one two -hundredth part, then the amount
of manurs which may be applied to land,
! if ploughed nine inches deep, and tho
roughly intermixsd, is no less than two
fiftbs of the whole bulk of the soil, or
about FIVE hundred loads per acre. The
same fact will also show that to prevent
completely any danger of less from COM
post heaps, the amount Of soil, or similar
absorbent, should be more than twice that
Of the yard manure used in mixture. As
the absorbing power is chiefly owing to
the clay it contains, it will be understood
that heavy soils will retain more manure,
when very copiously applied, than those
If iyhter character.
The theory of the value of gypsum de-
pending on its absorption Of ammonia from
dew and rain, retains but a slender hold
on probability, when it is remembered
that four pounds of rain water never con-
tain more than one grain of ammonia
and that all the ammonia that falls in our
heaviest storms would be absorbed by
LAYER or film Of soil ten times thinner than
the finest bank note paper.-Caltirator.
