HAS THE EARTH RING- Professc r
Nichol, of Scotland, an eminent astron-
omer, thinks that our earth has rings
like those fthe planet Saturn A phe-
nomenon called the zodacal light, which
at certain seasons of the year is seen in :,
the form of an immense cone of faint
light extending from the horizon al
most to the zenith, is supposed to be a
ring of matter surro unding the earth
The conical shape is owing to onr seeing
it edgewise, but from other parts of the
earth's surface it has been found to open
and to extend across the horizon. The
ring is supposed to be about 100000
miles distant, and to have a breadth of
$4,000 miles with an unknown depth.
1t is also supposed that there are sever
al rings. The Professor thinks that the
rings have no conference; that they are
neither vapor nor fluid; and gives as a
theory of their constitution that they are
composed of millions of asteroids, crcu-
lating round tie planet (hence our me-
teorolites); the bright parts being where
they are most thickly strewed, and the
dark lines the absence of them. There
was faint slsty colored ring seen with
in the others, and this appears to be
gradually approaching the planet 1t
had approached at the rate of so miles
a year; latterly at about so miles year;
and if it increased to 100 miles year,
it would reach the planet itself in $50
years.

Messers. Winans, of Baltimore, are en-
gagged in the manufacture of new and
singular steam vessel, after a model of
their own conceiving. An Eastern pa
per in describing it says she is like moth
ing now afioat. She has no keel, no
masts no rigging. no deck, no cutwater,
40 blunt bow, no round or square stern.
In shape she resembles nothing as much
as huge cigar. Round the middle of
the cigar runs round ring, attached to
which are fanges set at correct angle
to strike the water and propel the YES
sci. The ring is made to revolve rapid
ly round the vessel by four powerful
steam engines placed amidships. The
deck is only a segment of circumfer.
cnce of sixteen feet, upon it ale rivited
four settees, upon which the passengers
will take the air. There are rudders
at both ends, in shape like spades. with
a blade four feet by three. We will add
that the vessel has only 16 # of beam at
at the widest part. and $50 feet long;
and that her owners expect her to cross
the Atlantic in four days.

is less liable to be accidentally discharg-

few and strong it is simple in its construc-
ton, and can be taken apart merely by
Withdrawing a bolt. 1t is combination
of the Miunie rifle and Prussian needle
gun. In firing the rife, when the trg-
ger is pulled the handspring is set free
which impels forward a pin horizontally
through the powder until it strikes the
cap, which it is made to fit exactly
This action, before the powder is igni-
ted, forces the ball into the centre of the
barr iel- thus, it is stated, making it as
accurate in its aim as any muzzle-load-
