Giving his wife one end.of it, he retreated
to the other side and exclaimed, "Pull the
line!'' She pulled at his request as far as

the husband held on to the opposite end.

pulled at one end it came over with great
ease "There," said he, "you see how

THE PAINE DIscovERY.-A scientific friend,
who has been experimenting with Paine's
new magnetic electric apparatus, says that its
power of resolving water into gas, for pur-
poses of light and heat, is but one of many
invaluable attributes it possesses. Metals are
precipitated from their solutions, in less time
than the same weight could be melted and
poured from the crucible. Crystals have been
formed from solutions of slick, having faces
of 3-l6, in three hours. A force of 68 lbs,
moving through one foot per minute, gener-
ates current equal TO that of Groves bat
terry of 800 cups-a force sufficient to work
the Oceanic telegraph. The spark, when
circuit is broken, is truly terrific, being at
times % inches long.
Mr.. Paine is now engaged duplicating the
apparatus, to meet business engagement !;
this is nearly complete, and the public will
soon have an opportunity of witnessing the
great bone of contention, over which gas COM
mittees and philosophers have growled SO
long.
