ARTIFICIAL STONE MANUFACTURES.

Meetings are being held in New York
with regard to the newly discovered
mode Of manufacturing a substitute for
building purposes. Prof Mapes explains
the quality and composition of the arti-
Gle as follows:
"We have here mixture of the ordi-
nary plaster of Paris, sand and blood: in
the mixture OK which, it is natural that
c hard and compact composition would
be formed, although the articles them
selves do not vary from the common ar
ticles Of commerce; but in their admix-
ture they undergo several chemical
changes, which entirely overthrow their
single tendencies, aad form the substance
such as | hold before me.
Blood contains large amount of pot
ash, which seizes hold of the sand and
renders it soluble. and it is to this silicite
of potash formed that the stone becomes
of its apparent quality. 1t he's strange
power when it meets with the albumen,
which is one of the constituents of the
blood; but if the albumen of hood meets
with the silicite of potash, a chemical
process takes place, and it is then not
soluble from the action of water. But
when it is diffuscd through the mass, as
here, the chemical change is slow. The
lalbumen is divided into infnitesifnal pro-
portions, and if it be caught in the me.
chanlcal POSITION, anC there becomes
|coagulated, it forms kind of binding
matter between these parts, and if these
parts be not soluble I'm which state we
already have shown then to bel you
have all the acquisitions of stone, for you
will find hardness and strength, as in
the proportion Of the escape of all gases
by time, and a more perfect fragment
grows by age.
In the blood, also, you have quantity
of Iron, which, diffused throughout the
mass, forms an additional strengthening
component, as it is the better mixed into
the substance.
He went on to explain that time would
add to the quality Of the article, although
too carly exposure was not advantageous
to it-he would recommend that it be
laid aside at least for few days, and be
coated with an insoluble condiment of
some kind, which would protect the in.
terror during the process of hardening.
lie looked for new era in the art of de-
sign as growing from the introduction of
this artificial stone, which, on examina-
ton, he found could be manufactured al
small expense, in a short time and OF
great durability.

REDUCTION OF FARE ON THE CENTRAL

They reduced the fare to Sc 90 to Alba

of 81 so to Albany, and 50 90 or 50 so
to New York. They also decided on a
second class train, connecting at Buffalo
with the boats arriving there in the morn
ing. On this train the fare to New York
is to be SIS 90; to Albany, "a 90. These

AHECDoTE OF SHELBY

Shelley took great pleasure in making
paper boats, and floating them on the
water. So long as his paper lasted he
remained riyeted to the spot, fascinated
by this peculiar amusement. All waste
paper was rapidly consumed, then the
covers of letters, next letters of little
value; the most precious contributions
of the most esteemed correspondents, al
though eyed wistfully many times, and
often returned to his pocket, were sure
to be sent in pursuit Of the former squad
rons. Of the portable volumes which
were the companions of his mbleS-
and he seldom went out without book
,he hy-leaves were commonly wanting !;
he had applied them as our ancestor
Noah applied gopher wood. But learn
ing was so sacred in his eyes that he
never trespassed further upon the integ.
rity of the copy-the work itself was al
ways respected. IL has been said that
he once found himself on the north bank
of the Serpentine river without the ma
terials for indulging those inclinations
which the sight of water invariably in.

deus. Not single scrap of paper could
be found, save only bank note for fifty
pounds. He hesitated long, but yielded

the extreme fineneSs of his skill, and
committed it with the utmost dexterity
to fortune, and watching its progress, if
possible, with still more intense anxiety
than usual. Fortune often fayors those
who fully and frankly trust her; the
northeast wind gently waited the costly
skiff to the south bank, where, during
the latter part of the voyage the ven
turous owner waited its arrival with pa

4 VERY EXTRAORDINARY DIsEssE has
lately made its appearance in few fam
lies in this city-Some of them eminent
in wealth and position-whieh has con-
founded our physicians, because of its
novelty. At first they claSSed it under
the head of erySipelas, but as it would
not bear that classification, some Of them
nave given it the name of "the plague"
Ii appears at first in some diScolored spot,
say on the face, and extending, without
suppuTation, it soon destroys life, as if
by a general modification. If fsuppur-
alton takes place, it passes off; but if not,
death is sure to fellow. There is no con-
tagion about it, snd it is not epidemic
in any form.
One or two physicians have rcsorted
to the knife, and cut out the plague spot
on its first appearance, and so have saved
life. Fever and delirium attend the pro-
greSS of the disease, if 1.-the spot" is left
to spread. Such is our information; but
as have seen no case with our own eyes
and if we had, should not be able to
describe it scientifcally-what we say
must be taken with this understanding.
1t is not the plague, for il is not con-
tsgious, or epidemic. But what is it!
The plague may be imported, nay it has
been imported, into the south of France,
from Turkey; but it may be some new
disease, which, like the cholera, is to de-
Stroy the human race. We should be
obliged to some medical man for some
scientific or more specific account of
the disease.-N. Y. Express, June 10.

SAD SCENES IN CHINA.-A letter from
Canton, under date of March 18th, saws
that the Rebels had been entirely rout-
ed in the neighborhood Of Canton, and
that the main fight took place near Wham-
pOa. Many Of the Rebel boats were cap
tured, also large number of prisoners.
The executions, for several days, aver
aged one hundred and fifty per day. On
the llth party of foreigners witnessed
the decapitation of one hundred and for
ty-seven, also the cutting to pieces Of
three others, who were leading men
among the Rebels. Towns which had
been under the rule of the Insurgents
were fast going over to the Imperialists,
and trade was beginning TO revive. The
writer adds: 1.-The French have not again
attempted to attack the city of Shang-
hai. They are waiting for reinforce
ments. The French have lost many val
liable men and officers in their foolish at
tacks on Shanghai.
