Cordage nIanufactery.

An extensive Cordage mandatory has re-
Gently been established in San Francisco, for
the manufacture of every description of ca
bles and rope. The ropewalk is 900 feet
long The buildings are several in number,
and most substantially built. The machinery
is driven by steam engine of 60-horse pow
er. We hail with pleasure the bone manu-
facture of articles of necessary consumption,
for which this State has hitherto been en-
tirely dependent upon importations from
abroad. 1t would be gratifying also to note
the commencement of the hemp culture in
California but as yet nothing noticeable in
this line has been done or attempted. There
is kind of hemp native to Oregon, used by
the Indians in making nets and cords, which
seems to be very fine, and would doubtless
make good ropes.
If Manila or Kentucky hemp will not
grow here, the Oregon hemp or something
else Of the kind must be resorted to. There
is no good reason why California should not
soon export either raw or manufactured ar
ticles of this nature, or both.

REMOVING SCALE FROM STEAM BOILERS
B. B. Lindsay, of London, has obtained pa
tent for removing scale from the interior of
steam boilers by heated air, or highly heated
steam. All the water in the boiler is run off.
and the boiler is then left to cool. When
cold. the highly heated air or steam is in
troduced by pipe, when, after a suitable
time being allowed for it to take effect, it is
stated that the scale cracks off and leaves the
plates clean. The scale is then blown out
with water and steam through the blow-of
cock.

A VALUABLE DIAMoND.-The Exeter Eng
Gazette mentions the discovery of the i'm
mense value of blue stone which had been
for some years in the possession of Mr.. Bas-
tow Taylor, of Totnes, and who deemed it
only an ordinary pebble until few weeks
ago, when his attention was more minutely
drawn to it from the fact that a piece
Clipped from the principal lump was found
to cut readily through piece of glass. Upon
this Mr.. Taylor submitted the original piece
of stone to a lapidary, who has, we are in
formed, pronounced this stone to be a blue
diamond of the second water, and of more
than ESQ, 900 in value. Since this announce
ment in our last, Totnes has been visited by
great number of dealers in precious stones,
to whom Mr.. Taylor courteOusly shows the
piece which was accidentally Clipped off the
original, but the real "mountain of blue
light" or whatever else it may turn out to
be. has been forwarded to one of the most
skilled lapdaries in the metropolis who is
making a series of experiments to ascertain
its real value.

The Growth of Machinery.

Emerson, in his English Traits" has a
striking and curious chapter on the above
subject, from which we extract the following ::
'Tis curious chapter in modern history,
the growth Of the machine shop. Six hum
dred years ago, Roger Bacon explained the
procession of the equinoXes. the consequent
necessity of the reform of the calender, meas
ed the length of the year, invented gunpow-
der and announced Gas if looking from his
lofty cell over five centuries into ours) that
machines can be constructed to drive ships
more rapidly than a whole galley of rowers
could do nor would they need anything but
a pilot to steer them. Carriages also might
be constructed to move at an incrediable
speed. without the aid of any animal. Final
ly it would not be impossible to make ma
chimes which, by means Of suit OF wings,
should fly in the air in the manner OF BIRDS
But the secret slept with Bacon. The SIX
hundred years have not yet tulhlled his
words. Two centuries ago the saving OF
timber was done by hand the carriage
wheels ran on wooden axles the land was
titled by wooden plows. And it was to lit
tie purpose that they had pit coal, or that
looms were improved unless Watt and
Stephenson had taught them to work force
pumps and power looms 10y steam. The great
strides were all taken within the last two
hundred years. The "Llfe OF Sir Robert
Peelnwho died the other day, the model
Englishman, has very properly for a frontis-
piece drawing of the spinning Jenny, which
woye the web of his fortune. Hargreaves in
vented the spinning jenny, and died in a
workhouse. Arkwright improved the inven-
tion. and the machine disposed with the work
of ninatvnine men that is one spinner could
do as much work as a hundred had done be-
fore,
The loom was improved further. But the
men would sometimes strike for wages, and
combine against the masters, and, about 1929
80. much fear was felt lest the trade would
be drawn away by these Interruptions, and
the emigration of the spinners to Belgium
and the United States. Iron and steel are
very obedient Whether it were not possible
to make a spinner that would not rebel, nor
mutter, nor scowl, nor strike for wages, nor
emigrate? AT the solicitation of the mas
ters, after mob and riot at Staleybridge,
Mr.. Roberts, Of Manchester, undertook to
create this peaceable fellow, instead of the
ouarrelsome fellow God had made. After a
few trials, he succeeded, and in creation,
the ght of mill owners, and destined, they
said ''to restore order among the industrious
classes :" machine requiring only child's
hand to piece the broken yarns. AS Ark
wright had destroyed domestic spinning, so
Roberts destroyed the factory spinner. The
power of machinery in Great Britain in mills
has been computed to be equal to 100000, 900
men, one man being able, by the aid of steam,
to do the work which required two hundred
and fifty men to accomplish fifty years ago.
The nroduction has been commensurate"

New IMPROVEMENT OF WELLs.-An i'm
portant Improvement upon the usual method
of obtaining water for irrigation and domes-
tic purposes, has recently been introduced
into this city, by means of which constant
and inexhaustible supply of pure water may
be obtained at a trifling expense. It consists
simply, in the sinking of shaft by means of
a two-inch auger attached to light bars of
iron, with other apparatus for pumping, drill
ling, &c, similar to that employed in boring
the Artesian well upon the public square. 1t
requires but the labor of few hours with
this apparatus TO reach depth of fifty feet,
whence can be obtained supply of water that
cannot be exhausted by constant pumping
There are seven of these wells in this city, in
successful operation.-Stockton Argus.

INCREASE OF STEAMSHIPS Steamships
have rapidly increased within the past few
years. There are now no less than thirty
nine steamships regularly running between
America and Europe, comprising seven Brit
ish and four American lines, one French and
one Belgian. The aggregate tonnage Of
these vessels amounts to about 10000 tons.

HEALTH OF iDR. KANE.-The recent news
from Europe states that DR.. Kane had sailed
from London for the West India Islands, by
advice of his physicians, on account of his
health. He had been very unwelf, and it is
believed that the hardships to which he was
exposed in the Arctic Regions have sowed
the seeds of consumption in his system.

OAK AcoRNs IN BREAD.E9A French chemist
takes acorns hulls them, and then boils them
in weak solution of carbonate of soda for
about half an hour, then taken out and wash

and ground up into flour. Mixed with an
equal quantity of wheat flour, it is said to
make palatable and nutritious bread.

FENcINd TIMBER The scarcity and high
price of fencing timber in many parts of the
Atlantic SSstes, bothon the coast and in the
interior, a,csusing much .aaxiety and solici-
tude amCffs farmers and Others. Some are
resorting to hedges, while others are plant
ing chestput and locust trees upon their
grounds for future supply. The railroad
companiasSare also sharing in the general
anxiety III this particular Several railroad
companies, in particular, the Illinois Cen
trail Railroad Co., are planting these trees
along the side of their roads, with the view to
a futur@supply of timber :or fencing, cross
ties, DC. It is a matteEof surprise that ssch
a courses has not been adopted, especially by
Railroad companies, years ago. Beltings of
trees along the dividing lines of farms, may
not onlyrbe made valuable in this particular,
but they also add much to the general ap-
pearance Of the landscape, besides being of
positive utility to crops. by sheltering them
from high winds,an being beneficial in many
other respects The farmers and ranch men
of California, particularly those occupying
ground upon the plains, would do well to
heed the above suggestions.

The Deck of an Outward Bound.

How seldom we think of the mariners grave
Far down on the coral strand
How little we dream of the wind and wave
When all that we love on land
The hurricane comes and the hurricane goes,
And little the heed take,
Though the trees may snap and the tempests blow,
And thewalls of our homestead shake
But the n5rth-east gale tells different tale
With a{yoce of fearful sound,
When q Dged one is under close reefed sail
On thedeck Of an ''0utacGrd bound"
How wistlully then we look on the night,
AS tie threatening clouds go by, --s1---+e
AS the winds get up and the last faint light,
isdying away in the sky
HOY we listen and gaze with quivering lip,
And judge by the bending tree,
How the same wild gust must toss the ship,
Aid rouse the mighty sea-
All sadly then do meet the day,
When the signs of storm abound,
Andpray for the loved one far away,
Oh the deck of the ''outcard bou2ad''
Thefe is one that cherished when hand in hand
We roved DER the lowland and lea
And thought my love for that one on the land,
Was as earnest as love could be.
But now that the bounds o'er treacherous tide
Affection increases the more,
ASH think of the waters deep and wide
And bask in the sunbeams on shore.
I list to the wind, watch the stars,
And shrink from the tempest's sound,
For my heart strings are wreathed mid the slende

Is IT So?-It is popular belief that the age of
trees can be determined by the rings grains that
overlay each other in their trunks Mr. Joshua How
ard, of Maryland, disputes the fact. He says that
these rings counted the section of the tree not
of annual growth, but are formed at every full
moon in the growing season, and in the latitude of
Maryland five in year. This he has frequently prov
ed by telling young trees the age of which he knew.
The extra ordinary age given to trees by the popular
rule hhkmade many persons doubt whether it is true
