A BUSINESS WoxAN.-Christina, dowager Queen
of SPAIN is of the richest individuals in Europe,
and probably the greatest business woman in the
world. Her operations are not confined to any one
country, or any one single class of securities. She
dabbles in everything Driven from Spain, she has
her fist in every speculative project in the Peninsu-
lar. She has contracted with the Pope to build the
railways of the Papal States. Her investments in
the French railways have been large she has bought
Malmaison, the former residence of Josephene, and
now owns the Courier de Paris newspaper. She
has been of the most successful operators in the
Cuban slave trade and has innumerable projects in
Cuba-among which are the Havana gas works, sew
eral fine sugar estates and many tracts of fine lands
At one time, she was paramount in SPAIN It is
said she offered to lend her influence to the sale of
Cuba to us, provided we would give her the land
the walls of Havana stand on. She has two or
three agents in this country-one being in Phila-
delphia one in New Orleans, and another without
fixed location Each of these is supposed to con-
troll investments to the amount of one or two mil
lions scate ed in real estate railway securities, and
State Stocks.

An EXCELLENT ADMINISTRATIONS two months

wrote to the Hon. Edward Everett that if he would
write article week for year, for the Ledg-
er, he would Immediately on receiving an affirmative
reply, send him his check for So O0O for the bene
fit of the Mount Vernon Association. Mr.. Everetts
reyly is dated on the 9Th instant, and from it we
quote:
"This liberal offer has received my thoughtful
consideration. have been and am strongly tempt
ed on the hand, to make this noble addition to
the Mount Vernon fund. On the other hand, among
other grounds of hesitation have been afraid that
I could not do justice to your liberality, without
giving up more time to the preparation of the arti
cles than is consistent with other engagements and
duties. l feel however,
that it is my duty not to forego this opportunity of
adding so large sum, at once, to the Mount Yer
non fund.- and accept the offer. will begin to furn
sh the articles as soon the immediate demand upon
nv time to fulfill some previous engagements shall
cease-in the course of month at furthest-and
will continue Them so far as possible weekly, ma
king up at the end of the year for any omission in
the regular supply" - 81 q
The check for the $4,000 was Immediately sent
to Mr.. Everett, who, on the 10th instant paid it
over to F. H. Peabody, the treasurer of the auxiia
nv Mount Vernon fund at Boston. The articles in
the Ledger are to be called g The Mount Vernon

CLINTON.

A SELF-PRoPELLING STEAM FIRE ENGINE.-There
has Just been built in New Yor two selfpropeling
steam fire engines, of which tried on Friday
and worked to the satisfaction of the mayor several
Other. city officials and number of remen. Steam
fire eng ines in other cities have to be dragged to
fires, but the New York "masheen," according to
the Post, of Saturday, goes itself That paper
says:
1t steered its way through the streets yesterday,
with the skill of Broadway omnibus driver 1t is
expected when the thing goes into commission that
the steam will be kept up all the time, day and night
which would be equivalent to fire company s Sleep
ing at night with lifelong rope in their hands, ready
to start at the first tap of the bell When the
chine reaches the fire, couple of rods are discon-
nected and instantly the same power which brought
it there, goes to work throwing water through big
or little pipes at tremendous rate-say 600 or 700
gallons a minute. The power is furnished by an an
nular steam boiler, with ia vertical tubes The
whole concern weighs only some five tons is about
six feet HIGH and passing through the street, looks
like drunken locomotive broke loose. The streams
thrown yesterday were not accurately measured but
hose carried to the top of fve-story building
opposite Bowling Green from which stream was
thrown from Ii inch nozzle about rs feet higher.
Other trials wete equally satisfactory. .E
The machines were built conditionaly that they
were to possess certain qualifications to be tried
under the supervision of the mayor and street COM
missioner and if found to possess the specified Ca
pacties then they to be accepted by the above
officers in behalf of the city: $500 is the price for
each machine.

MYSTERY OF THE ANsREoAN, LAKEs.-Iake Erie IS
only so or 20 feet deep, but the bottom Of Lake
Ontario which is 500 feet deep, h. $50 feet below
the tide level of the ocean, as low as most parts
Of the Gulf Of St Lawrence, and the bottoms of
Lake Huron. Michigan and Superior, although
theirsurface is much higher, are all from their
vast depth, on level with the bottom of Lake On
tario 20
Now, as the discharge through the river Detroit,
after allowing for the full probable portion carried
off by evaporation, does not appear by any means
equal to the quantity of water which the three up
per great lakes receive it has been conectured that
a subterranean river may run from Lake Superior
to Huron and to Lake Ontario This conjecture by
no means improbable, and accounts for the singular
fact that salmon and herring caught in all the
lakes communicating with the St. Lawrence but in
no Others As the Falls of Niagara must have al
ways existed it puzzles the naturaists to say how
these fish got into the upper lakes without some
such subterranean river moreover, any periodical
obstruction of the river would furnish q not i'm
probable resolution of the mysterious fux and re-
aux of the lakes.
Upon this, the editor of the Scientific american
remarks
"Are salmon and herring found in the lakes and
rivers above the Falls of Niagara? If So it affords
strong grounds for supposing there is subterrane-
GUS communication between Ontario and the upper
lakes; if not, can see no grounds for such con-
cusion."
