LIGHT AND HEAT BY ELECTRIoTY.-The Wash
iugton correspondent of the New York Times
says
The experiment of lighting gas-burners by
electricity is perfect success. The inventor,
Mr.. Gardner, put up his wires in the great
chandelier of the Senate Chamber, and during
the last day or two somebffteen hundred Jets
have been lighted instantaneously by the
touch Of the key uniting the magnetic circuit.
The inventor is confident that he can suecoss-
fully apply his discovery to any aud every
purpose for which heat is required, and es
pecially to that of heating buildings and
making steam for either stationary or marine
engines. For the latter purpose, his plan is
to pass patina wires into copper boiler tubes,
the latter filled with water. These wires, it
is claimed, can be kept constantly heated by
the electric current, so as to convert the
water into steam as rapidly as it is brought
into the tubes. If half that is anticipated
of this discovery is realized, it must prove
one of the grandest affairs of the age
should have mentioned that Mr.. Gardner also
claims to have made a discovery by which
the cost of feeding the magnetic batteries is
greatly reduced, thus insuring the economy
as well as the convenience of the affair."
What a change in household economy the
success of this invention would make Think,
for instance, of a mans turning over in bed
on a frosty December morning, and by simply
turning key at his head. starting the fire by
which he may dress comfortably ten minutes

JOHN VAN BUREN-lHE STRAY DOUGLAS.
John Van Buren, recently said, in convi
vial speech:
"Well, gentlemen, there is one family has
got back safe into the democratic party to
STAY for life. 1t is the Van Buren, family; and
if Senator Douglas only knew the long, drea
nv road he has TO travel, the deep, roaring
streams he has got to swim his horses over,
the dark, stormy nights where the wind viii
blow down his tents, and he will be forced
to sleep on the ground with the rain pouring
on him in torrents, the high, steep and rug
ged mountains he has got to climb, the inter
minable deserts, where there is no wood nor
water, he has got to cross, in the road he has
taken away from his fathers house, he
would, in my opinion, take the s'ralghtest
chute back into the democratic camp"

PROPOSED New SrATE.-A project has for
some time been entertained for the formation
of new State out of the region which lies
between Lake Superior and Lake Michigan.
This extensive peninsula is now attached
partly to the jurisdiction Of Michigan and
partly to that of Wisconsin. 1t is remote,
however, from the populous portion of either
State, and is separated by natural barriers
from both.
The Legislature Of Michigan last year sig
niied their willingness to consent to the
proposed concession of their part of the ter
ritory. We find by the Wisconsin papers
that similar action is about to be taken by
the Legislature of that State.
There is material Tor a we'll sized and
thriving State in this region. With an ex-
tended coast-line on two lakes it is admirably
situated for commerce and fisheries, while its
soil is fertile, well watered, and in parts
heavily timbered. Its rich mines of copper
have long been famous. Its size will be about
10000 square miles-an area larger than
that of Maine, and nearly large as that Of
New York. Its population by the time its
admission can be contaminated will not fall
short of 100000. They propose to call it
"0ntonagon." If all the parties concerned
that is to say, lite inhabitants and the two
States to whom it beongs-are willing and
anxious for the measure, we do not see how
any one else can reasonably object to it

Interesting GuDpewder Experiment

scribed the failure of an intending In

make his success more certain. Thus,
to insure an explosion Of gunpovder
In a certain case, the fellow had COW
cred it with a quantity of spirits Of
turpentine, but, en- isniting it, only
the turpentine burnt, aud the powder
continued as before. The philosophy
of this the lecturer showed by stri-
king experiment, wherein. sgaip and
again, turpentine poured On AZ quan-
tity Of guppowder was lignited and
burnt out, and the powder remained
-unburnt. This was explained on the.
principle Of the candle, that the gun
powder acted as a wick to the tar
pentiBe, and will not itself ignite so
long as any Of the tnrpentin remains
to burn. A piece of common cotton
cloth, such asladies' dresses are made
Of, was then burnt; and then a piece
of similar texture, which bad been
dipped in a solution Of sol-ammonisc,
was exposed to the action Of FIRE, but
would not burn. A similar piece
stepped in. solution of silieate Of
potash, was also shown to be quite
sincembustible. -.

vice Of the American Fur Company,
in Canada, he was accidentally voun.
ded by the discharge ola musket char

formed ds that be did not feel OF know
that be had been hit, but a moment
afterwards be felt 4 cold chill, as if a
pail Of cold water had been dashed

terally from behind, passed quite
through bis bo,ly, tearing off the
muscles, carrying away half Of the
sixth rib ,larcerating the left lobe ofthe
lungs as well as the diaphragm, per
forating the stomach and exposing to
view the pericardiurn, or covering Of
the heart! A portion of the lung,
as large as a turkeys egg, iacerated
aud burnt just below this portion Of
the stomach, protruded from the
wound, the food at the same time

in the stomach. This ori6ce has new
er healed, aad through it the process
Of digestioa can plainly be seen in
the stomach. DR.. Beaumont, the
surgeon who attended him., published
some years ago volume made up
from facts connected, with this case,
and entitled ..sDrs Beaumont's Physi-
ology and Experiments. 2 This work
embraced the observationssand expe-
riments of St. Martin. and may
be said to bethe foundation of near
sly all the positive knowledge now
possessed on the subject Of digestion.
In this book DR.. B. gives the partic-
ulars Of the treatment of the Case,
and The singular recovery of the pa
TENT. Curiously and happily enough,
by the adhesion to the sides OF the
protruded portions of the stomachsto
the pleura costalis and the edge Of
the external wound, a free exit was
afforded to the contents of that or
gan, and effusion into the, abdominal
cavity was thus prevented and the
mans life was saved.

if wounded in a similar manner, would
recover at all, while the chances a.
