SOlOmOn's Temple.

The following account of remarkable
piece Of mechanism, is taken froma Persian
manuscript called the History of Jerusalem
1t purports to be a description of the throne Of
King Solomon, which, if the details are cor
rectly given. undoubtedly surpasses any spe-
cimen of mechanism produced in modern
times, Notwithstanding the wonderful inven-
tons which have taken place in every branch
of science:
The sides oft were Of pure gold, the Feet
of emerald rubies ntermixed with pearls,
each Of which was rs big as the ostrich egg
The throne had seven steps: on each side
were deineated orchards full of trees, the
branches of which were of precious stones
representing fruIt-ripe and unripe; on tops
of trees were to be seen figures of plumsged
birds, particularly the peacock, the etaub
and the kurges. All these birds were hol
lowed within, art6cally, so as to occasionally
utter a thousand melodious notes, such as
the ear of mortals never heard. On the
first were deIineated vine branches having
punches of grapes composed of various sorts
of precious stones fashioned in manner as
to represent the various colors of purple, vio-
let, green aud red, so as to render The APP
pearance of real fruit. On the second step
on each side of the throne, were two lions of
terrible aspect, as large as life, and formed
of cast gold.
! The nature of this throne was such, that
when Solomon placed his foot on the first step
the birds spread forth their wings, andmade
a fiuttefing noise in the air. On his touch
ing the second step two lions expanded their
claws. On his reaching the tlird step, the
whole assembly of demons and fairies ard
men repeated the praise OF the Deity. When
he arrived al the fourth STEP voices were
ner:-"Son of David, lie thankful for the
blessings the Almighty has bestowed upon
you" The same Was repeated on his reach
ing the fifth step On bis reaching the sixth
step all the children Of lsrae! joined them
and on his arrival on the seventh step, and
the throne, birds and animals became in mo-
ton, and ceased not until he placed himself
in the royal seat, when the birds, lions chr
ged shower of most precious perfumes on
solomon; after which two Of the kurgesses
descended and placed the golden crown up
on his head. Before the throne was col
umn of Furnished geld, on the top was gol-
| den dove, holding in his beak volume of
bound silver. In this book were written the
Psalms of David; and the dove having PIE.
sented the book to the King, he read aloud
a portion of it to the children of Israel. 1t is
further related that on the approach of wick,
ed men to the throne the lions were won to
set up terrible roaring and to lash their
tails with violence; the birds also ruffled up
their feathers, and the assembly of demons
and genii uttered horrid cries, so that for
fear of them no person dared to be guilty of
falsehood but confessed these crimes. Such
was the throne Of Solomon the Son of David

surance; the cargo is estimated at from $780,
900 to 100000. The Steamer Cherokee

DAGUERREOTYPES ON WOOD.

An important application Of the photo
graphic art has been made in Manchester,
England, by which the process of wood en-
craving from Daguerreotypes WILDE maleri
ally economized, both in time and expense.
The Manchester Guardian, Of July 80, gives
the following account Of this, proba bly,, most
recent improvement in the practice Of this use.
ful art;
Yesterday Mr., Robert Langton, wood en-.
graver and craftsman, of Cross street, brought
to our Office some very successful and beau
tilul specimens photography, taken by him
self, not on metal plates, or on paper, or on
glass, but on blocks of lockwood, such as are
ordinarily used in his own art for wood en-
cravings. One was striking portrait Of him
self; another was view Of the beautiful lit.
tie Church at Worsley, erected few years
ago by the Earl and Countess of Eiesmere.
The latter was comprised within the ordinary
dimensions Of a circle 81 inches in diameter !;
and, as the image of the Church is thus re-
0erSed, the design, in all its elegant proportins
and reduced to miniature such as no hand
of human artist can ever hope to rival, in its
exquisite decacy Of light and shade and its
elaborate mnuteneSs and detail--this photo
graph, so taken on a block of cox-wood, is
quite ready for the application of the wood
enGravers BURN. 1t is impossible to say
how greatly this will advance the process of
engraving, especially by saving all the pre-
lminary labor Of the craftsman; which, in
many cases constitute the chief element in
both the time and the cost attendant on the
production of wood cngravngs ola high class
Even in many of the lower branches of the
art the new application of sun drawing will
be an invaluable auxiliary. For instance, it
is an extremely dtficult matter to get accu-
rate drawings of machinery in perspective;
mechanical draughtsmen only represent it in
plane; and artists are generally found ex-
tremely reluctant to employ large amount
of time SO unproftably as the drawing of a
complicated machine in perspective demands
MIR. Langton's daguerreotype can now in a
few seconds accomplish what it required hours
for the artists to affect; and in point Of ac.
curacy, the instrument must ever have the
preference, But great as will eventually be
tile boon which this new application of pho
tography will confer on the practical art of
wood engraving, it may be made more ex-
tensively valuable, as a cheap form of pro-
duclng pictorial objects. BY Mr.. Langton's
process, portraits, landscapes, DC, could be
produced on any smooth piece Of wood, duly
prepared; and thus even wooden snuff boxes,
hand-screens, DC, may be decorated with
portraits, or scenes from nature, or copies OF
works OF art at cost much less than daguer-
reotypes on metal plates. Indeed, it is diff
cult to say where the applications and uses
of this new process may not extend. Mr.
Langton does not limit his invention to its use
in wood envravng. but claims for il an edua-
y useful and valuable application in other d.
rections, in connection with practical art"

Education of IdiO6a,

AT the meeting of the National Education
al Association, held at Pittsburgh last week,
Dr. |. Richards, Of Germantown, gave an ac-
count OF bis method in teaching Idiots. His
success, and that Of the other philantropists
whose efforts had been devoted TO the same
end, abundantly proves that this field furnish
es decided inducements for the exercise of
benevolent labors, and return harvest over
which the cultivators Of dormant intellectual
faculties may rejoice A correspondent of
the Syracuse Chronicle says the Doctor gave
an account of one who had been under his
charge for three years. AT first he was the
lowest specimen he had ever met with, be-
ing as incapable Of location as a vegetable.
Every ore propheced his utter failure, but
the boy had been gradually taught to use his
limbs, to eat, to talk, to read, and to compre.
bend IDEAS and now he is like the majority of
boys of four or five years Of age, with perhaps
the exception of being more slow of compre-
honsion,
A very interesting feature of the Doctors
system was the manner in which he taught
the existence of God.-Afcr pointing out the
sun, the stars, the flowers and various other
things to a little boy one day, and ascrbing
their existence to God he asked him whether
God WAS bad o. good. "Good," was the un-
hesitating repy.-"And what would you
like to do to such good God 2" In a low
Whisper and with his eyes suffused with
tears. 81 would like to kiss him." was the
very unexpected answer.
Before any scientific experiment had been
made in the education of idiots, a lady in
Massachusetts,, occupying high position in
society, and whose husband was one Of the
prominent public men of that State had two
children, both idiots. When the terrible con-
viction of this fact was first forced upon her
she gave up all society, removed from the city
TO a retired country place, and devoted the
whole energies of her nature, stimulated BY
the strong, undying affection of mother, to
their improyement.-The result was that
they improved, both phycally and mentally,
were able to go school, received prizes for
scholarship, and finally graduated at one of
oui best Colleges, receiving some Of the hon.
ors which are bestowed on the few.

Books written when the soul is a spring-,i
When it is leaden like groaning sky
Before a thunderstorm, are power and pladness,
And msjesty and beauty. They sezs the reader
As tempests seize ship, and bear | i'm on
With wild JOY Some books are drenched Ga nds,
On which great souls wealth lies all in heaps,
Like wrecked argossy. What power In books
They mnge gloom and splendor, as I've off,
In thund'rous sunsets, seen the thunder piles
Scanned with dull fire and fiercest glory rents.
They awe me TO my knees, as il stood
In presence Of king. They give me tears;
Such glorious tears as Ewes fair daughters shed,
When first they clasped Son Of God, all bright
With burning plumes and splendoss Of the sky,
In zOning heaven of their milky arms.
