usefuI soientitio piscovery.

A discovery has been made which will diminish
the cost and facilitate the construction of bridges
across rivers 1t said to have been successfully
adopted in Eng lands and eforts are being made to
introduce it in this country. Ii is thus described
in an exchange paper: IL
srThe process in question is at once certain and
are easily explained. Instead of the ordinary
wooden pile, hollow iron tubes orcylinders, open
at each end, and of any shape, are used. This
tube being sunk perpendicularly, in any depth of
water, movable cover is fitted to the upper end,
having hole in the centre, TO which is attached
the suction pipe of an exhausting air pump. 1t is
obvious that as soon as the air is exhausted in the
tube, there must be a corresponding pressure upon
the surrounding sand, mud or other materials,
which are thereby forced into the tube or cylinder,
to supply The vacuum caused by the withdrawal
OF the air. AS consequence, the tube itself is
rapidly buried, and as the operation is con inret,
VIII sink TO depths, and through obstacles almost
incredible, until we consider to what an enormous
force and pressure of the atmosphere, the large
external surface around the tube, it is subjected
The cylinder may be sunk in sections As soon as
one section is sunk and filled by the displaced ma
terial, 1T is enptied; a second is screwed
and bolted on to its top, and the air being
pumped out as before, the same sinking effect is
produced"
1t is stated, that, after the tube has been sunk
and emptied, it may be filled with cement and
concrete, which will form solid interior column
of ITSELF sficient to sustain any weight. We pre-.
sumo that the corporations aud bridge builders of
Virginia will examine this new discovery, and, if
found described, apply in the future construc
ton of bridges. Its said that Mr.. Sickes is about
to construct light house for government upon
this plan.

RIP VAN WINKLE.-Every one has heard the
legend of this remarkable individual, who it was
said slept tw enty-fve years on the banks of the
Hudson, without once awaking. There is now in
Western New York man named Cornelius Yroo-
man, another German we suppose from his name,
who bids fair to rival his sleepy ancestor. He went
to sleep on the 10th of june 1s4s, in the town of
Clarkson, Monroe county. N. Y, since which time
he has slept nearly all the time, awakening only
at long intervals, sometimes four or five months,
and staying awake only an hour or two, when he
resumes his nap. He is fed by his attendants du-
ring his sleep, and when awake he eats yoracious-
ly. The facts as above related certified to by
the leading physicians in Rochester, and the case
is attracting much attention as to the pathological
condition of the brain.

rhinga at N1agara Falls.

The following account OF the present doings at
the Falls. we find in the New York Tribune:
The buildings of the Great Western Railroad
from Detroit across Canada, and the Railroad from
Rochester, have now given start to everything
at the Falls and the place must hencetorth rapidly
advance in numbers of people and in industrial
production. The present suspension bridge being
strong enough only TO carry over ordinary carriages
a new one is 10 be built for the free use of the
trains. The bridge is to be 25 feet in width, hav-
ing single railroad track, with foot path OH
each side. 1t will hang directly the present one
20 feet higher in the air. When it is completed
the frontier line will be abolished SO far as the rail-
! roads ere concerned, and passengers may be land
ed opposite Detroit from the cars in which they
take their seats at Albany, having crossed the flu
rious Niagara upon wires, $50 feet above its bed.
Another great work now going on in that vicin-
ity, is the cutting of railroad from inst below the
Falls to Lewiston, in the gorge of the river itself.
For the greater part of The way it is the hard
limestone, and when it is completed, the cars will
roll along to their destination, with the precipous
| rocks rising on one hand and the whirling, foam
ing abyss Of the river, at the foot oil second pre-
cipice, the other. The entire descent 10 be ac-
complished is thee hundred and twelve feet, CIV
ing grade of about eighty feet to the mile.
The shanties of the laborers line the bank, and
the constant clink OF drills, the sound of blasting,
and the crash of exploded rocks as they fall
through the trees OF the gorge and plunge into the
depths below, daily invade the majesty of nature
| with the advance of power to which even Mag
| the power OF industry. In few months the shrek
of the locomotive will resound i'll the chasm, and
| long trains CT cars will move in safety up and
down its side.
Another admirable enterprise now executing, is
hydraulic canal and BASIN, intended 10 furnish
water power ut some distance below the village,
and mile, perhaps, from the cataract ITSELF
There will be no limit to the power which can be
furnished in this manner, and manufacturing
centre must grow up there, sufficiently remote
from the Falls to leave the sublimity unaffected by
| mills and other works of mere prosa;c utility-a
consideration of great weight in many minds.
We are sorry to say that Goat Island is not ss
| well cared for as it should be. 1t ought TO be
kept more beautifully than any garden, for nature
has made it the most enchanting of places. In
stead of this it is quite neglected. There are nc
good paths; beneath the majestic trees tangled
underground, or decaying trunks arrest the STEPS
of the,wanderer; and nowhere is there a bed Of
flowers or any other evidence that the hand of
man chershes the spot and loves to heighten and
adorn its beauty. The visitors who resort 10 il
must pay considerable income to its proprietors
for the privilege of crossing the bridge, and we
submit that the latter ought to beauty it as it de-
serves.

ing consented to an examination of the brain, a
partial dissection was, as beloie reported, made
by Professor McClintock, at the Philadelphia
Medical College. Subsequently, coffin, beley-

purpose. The burial thus made, is now asserted
to have been mere sham affair. There is a
mystery about this affair that should be solved.
