uWood generates heat more rapidly than
coal; but pound of the latter (authracite) will
evaporate three times more water than pound
of wood. AS compact fuel, coal, therefore
is the best for use in generating steam, because
plenty of draft for rapid combustion can be ca
silly obtained by blower or tall chimney
As wood contains great quantity Of oxygen
and anthracite coal none, less air is taken from
an apartment when wood is used for fuel than
when anthracite coal isensed This is the rea-
son why the atmosphere of apartments heated
with wood fuel produces, as it were, more
genial influence, and why such fuel is also more
healthy for heating; also why it does notrequire
such an amount of cold from theoutside to
supply the fire.

POlycrates RING.

One of the most curious and most i'm
portant discoveries of our epoch, and one
which is sending all the numismotists of
the four quarters of the globe to Rome,
has Just been made by vine dresser of
-AIbano, i'll a vineyard there; it is the
Ring of Polycrates. As every one may
not-hnow the history of this precious ala
ject, the few lines following will cause
our readers to appreciate the Importance
of this discovery.
PoIycrates was tryant Of Samos; he
shad tried IN 'tdsss--ssrt, violence, cruelty,
games, warEke spectacles, to retain his
peoese16 the most object state of submits
SION. Ills reign nevertheless had been
onlgsa succession of years of uninterrup-
/ ted and unexampled prosperity. One day
Qmasys, king of Egypt, his friend, wrote
to him thus: sYour prosperity alarms
me, / wish for those love a mixture of
good and evil, for jealous divinity does
not suffer mortal, whoever he may be,
to enjoy an uninterrupted felicity. Seek
out then troubles and reyerses to oppose
TO the constant fayors Of fortune
Struck with this letter and this advice,
Polycrates fatigued, and discontinued
with this imperturbable prosperity, wished
to constrain fortune, to mingIe some dis
graces with her constant favors, and for
this purpose he threw into the sea the
thing whose loss woald be most sensibly
felt by him. This was ring of massive
gold, in which was set smaragdine emer-
aid, the most rare and precious stone at
that period when the diamond was not
known.
History relates (Herodetus V, Book
Ill., that few days after, this prince, on
cutting fish which his servant had Ia
ken in the morning, found again his ring
in the belly of the fish. Polycrates died
in the third yeas of the Gath Olympiad,
(522 yeas before the Christian Era. "
This seal was afterwards brought to
Rome, where Pliny says he had seen and
handled it. The engraving upon it,
which was the work OF Theodore OF
Samos, the son of Talikles, accelerated
statuary of that (the same it is said who
had engraved the vase of Croesus) is of
remarkable delicacy and great beauty
The Emperor Augustus caused it to be
set in a horn Of gold and deposited it in
the temple of Concord among many O.
ther objects of art of great valne.
This seal is as large as piastre, Cor
five france piece Jof a slightly oblong
form. The subject is Tyre, over the up.
per part of which three bees are hover
ing. At the bottom, on the right. is a
dolphin, aud an OK head on the left.-
Below is Greek inscription, indicating,
the name of the artist. The surface Of
the stone is slightly coneave, the polish

ia woman called at a drug store of DR..
Rhodes a day or two ago, says the Oswego
Palladium of March 3lst and called for guam
tty of tartar emetic. Mr.. R. thought the quan+
tity was extraordinary and inquired what she
wanted offs much. She replied that she wan.
ted it for use. He did it up and labelled it,
After she had gone he feared she had made a
mistake, and followed her to her house, and
inquired what she intended TO do with so large
quantity, and she replied, "to raise!her bread"
He then told her sha had made mistake, and
would have poisoned her whole family and that
she wanted cream oftartar. "Oh yes," said
she, that is it. The article was changed and
the poor woman saved sad afflicton.
