COMPRISING ELECrRIcTY.-The Lon.
don Morning Chronicle states that great
experiment (heralding an important scien-
titic discovery was lried some iia,e siuce u.
Vnoennes. IN the presence Of many emi.
nent and practical judges. From the dem.
onStraiion then and there made, it would
appear that the secret of compressing and
governing electricity is at length discover.
ed, and according to the Chronicle, the
power may now be considered "as the sole
motor henceforward to be used" A small
mortar was fired by the inyentor without
flashing, smoke or noise. The same pow.
er can, it is claimed, be adapted to every
system of mechanical invention, and is des.
tined to supersede steam, requiring neither
machinery nor combustion for its successful
operation.

The Tower OF BABEL.-The Boston
Atlas disputes the identity of the recent al.
legged discoveries in Syria with the Tower
OF Babel an account of which was publish
ed IN the Traveller, and says:
"Ihe mound Mt Arbela, which NJ Place
has examined, and which the correspondent
of the Traveller imagined him to have dis.
eogered, has been long known, though we
believe 1t has never before been explored.
In ls4l it was described by Fraser, in his
work on Mesopotamia and Assyria, as "A
large artificial mound, 60 or 20 feet high.
500 yards in length by 200 ia breadth
The Mnjelebe at Babylon is $50 feet HIGH.
and the Bir Nimrod nearly $50 fee, high
or three or four times the heis bit of the ruin
at Arbela. Throughout Assyria and Mes.
sopotam'a there are muititudes of ruins
equal TO. or greater than that at Arbela.
with quite as good claims to be considered
the Tower Of Babel-lhat is to saw, with no
claims at ALL" ~
