CoMPREssING THE BULK OF FLoUR@
The Albany Journal states that Louis Ma
poleon, in 1858, conceived the idea that it
would be practicable to compress flour so
as to diminish the bulk, and in that way to
facilitate its transportation, and yet nos in
jure its quality. In July of that year, an
experiment was made by his command to.
test his views. Flour subjected to hydraul-
ic pressure of 800 tous. was reduced in vol
ume more than 24 per cent. On close ex-
animation, it was found to possess all the
qualities it had previous to lis violent treat
ment 1t was then put into zinc boxes and
sealed up. At the same time, other -four
manufactured from the same wheat, but no.
compressed, was sealed up. In October,
thereafter, several boxes containing both
kinds of -four were opened and examined
The pressed was pronounced to be the bost.
Twelve months after this, ia October. 1851.
another examination took place, and with
the same result The two kinds were then
kneaded into loaves and baked The press
ed -four made the best bread. In March.
1855, more of the zinc boxes were opened,
and on examination the loose -four showed
mouldness, while the pressed was sweet.
and retained all its qualities. Made into
bread, the same diferenc es were observable

The Kansas Resolutions passed the House

strict party vote:
Whereas, Under the Constitution of the
United States, freedom is national and slave
ry sectional, and believing that the peace,
welfare and honor Of the country impcrious-
~ require that our national domain shall be
preserved free, for free homes and for free
men; and believing j, to have been the policy
Of our fathers, dictated by reason and ex-
allied patriotism, TO prohibit the extension OF
Slavery and make Freedom the law Of our
national progress
Therefore, BE il resolved by the General
Assembly Of the State OF Iowa, That We are
unqualifedly opposed to the further extern
zion Of Slavery within the jurisdiction, or by
the sanction, of the General Government,
and insist that Congress shall exert all con-
stitntional power to preserve our national
territory free.
Resolved, That our Senators in Congress
be instructed, and our Representatives re-
qnestsd to exert their influence and vote for
the admission Of Kansas into the Union ~ q
Free State, and to oppose it's admission
with . constitution establishing or tolerating
Slavery.
Resolved, That the Governor be, and
hereby is requested to transmit copy Of
the above preamble and resolutions to each
OF our Senators and Representatives in Con-
gress.
Ii will be seen that the Locofoco minority
Of the Legislature have voted straight out
asainst making Kansas Free State.
The Senate was in committee Of the whole
this afternoon, on the bill to repeal the usu-
ry law, and had quite an animated discus
sion.
After the rising Of the committee, . reso-
luton was offered asking information Of the
