from the car to the sitting room, but as
she appeared to be getting worse, she was

I'LL.
How far was Sol mon from being right
when he said there was "nothing new
under the Sun?" Are not most, if not
all, of our boasted discoveries but the
gradual recovery of lost aud forgotten arts,
and sciences? Was there not, far back of
! the historic ages.a golden era, where kno,Ul-
edge as we'll as virtue had attained a per-
fection, that, in our day, can only be
reached i'll the poets reverie? But to the
extract. The Stroda referred to, was an
Italian historian and poet. born at Rome in
572, and was Professor of Rhetoric at the
Roman College at the time of his death, in
l649. The account of his process was
thus: .a.
"Slrada, in one Of his profus:ons, gives
an account Of chimerical correspondence
between two friends by the help of GER
tain loadstone, which had such virtue in
it that ii IL touched two several needles
when one of the needles 50 touched began
TO move, the other, though at ever SO
great distance, moved at the same time
and in the same manner. lie tells us that
the two friends. being each Of them pos
sessed OF ORG of these needles, made kind
of dial plate, inscribed it with the four and
twenty letters. in the same manner as the
hours OF the day are marked upon the or
dinary dial-p plate. They then fixed one of
the needles in each of these plates in such
II manner that il could move round without
so as to touch any Of the four
and twenty letters. Upon their separating
from one another into distant countries
they agreed to withdraw themselves
punc;ually into their closets at certain
hour of the day, and To converse with one
another by means of this, their invention.
Accordingly, when they were some hu;9-
1red miles aGunder, each of them shut
himself up in his closet at the time appoin-
ed, and Immediately cast his eye upon his
al-plate. If he had mind TO write any
hing TO his friend, he directed his needle
