A FRENcE STEAMER BURNT sBY ETHER.-Ths
French steam packet La France. during the month
of October was burnt up in Bahia harbcr. French
acute in chemistry, but they sometimes
overGo work, as will be seen below. Ethsr in
lieu of steam or auxiliary to coal, -an inven-
ton Of a. Tremblsy-hss been in in the
French navy for some time past,-and in successful
use, it is said. The for employing ether in
aid of steam is because its boiling point is very low,
viz: $50; but it appears to have been forgotten in
sending vessel with ether to Brazil that she would
have to psss through = temperature much higher,
even in The shade than the boiling point OF this
most inlammabls liquid and that therefore it could
not exist in the ordinary stowage tanks The r. suit
of this want Of foresight was that the ether float
ing about in a state of vapor caught fire, burned
fine ship, and destroyed much property. 1t ives
most providental that the ACCIDENT occurred in har
Dor. At sea it would have been truly awful occur.
