THE Reason WHY ArLASnc OCEAN TELE-
GRAPHY is LIPRAcTIcABLE-1. Action Tor mo
tom depends upon the egpansibility of electric
ity, which peryades all things.
8 2. This expansibilitysis due to heat, solar OF
artificial, Gnduced)
8. Non.action Cor immobility)i is caused by
the contrdctibility of electricity.
A. This contractionis due to the absence of
hcat-in other words, to cold.
8. Hence, Vegetation, which depends upon
the expansion of electricity, ceases in Winter,
to become active again on the return to the
earth of due degree of solar'h heat. zsgsz
6. The waters of the Atlantic Ocean, ut the
depth of two miles, are too co "a for the due ex-
pansion of the electric current; hence they
cease to flow, or are greatly impeded5 in their
progress, by the contraction induced by too low
atemperature.
3. From the above laws, the inference is, that
Atlantic Ocean relegraphy is impracticable, ut
least during the Winter. Thestemperature OF
the waters Of the Pacific Ocean, alta great depth,
may, perhaps, be high enough for the vigorous
flow of electric currents or through iron or
copper wires q. u. ID.
TIE English are boundless in their admiration
and astonishment at the performances of Nor
ply, the young American chess player. The
London Times says
"a young man of twenty appears amongst US,
modest, without ostentaton5o or assumption, and
performs the most astonishing feats with a
coolnessias if it were all quite natural Still,
there is "a self confidence and reliance on his
own. powers which determine him to travel all
through Europe in search of worthy antagon-
list, should he not find conqueror here. This
is at least real chess player from head to foot
such one as few have yet appeared Since
the days of Phillidor and La6ourdonnais, We do
not remember SIMILAR apparition." 8I

It is matter Of public uotoriety chat a
slit is TOW pending in tile courts Of Maine,
in which an editor Of d republican paper
claims Of Mr.. Wood, the member of Con-
gress from the Cumberland district, ten
dollars foirr writing Woods acceptance Of his
nomination to Congress. The Advertiser
editor also charges Wood $40 for writing
the speech he delivered on his reelection
to congress-. Neither of these sums being
paid, they are now part Of the subject mat
ter of suit between the parties. In allu-
sion to this matter the Newburyport Her
aid; black republican, says
IF the truth of the matter could be
known there are members of congress from
Massachusetts who would appear no better
than the Maine man-members who hot On
ly have their speeches written for them,
but who publish speeches as delivered in
the house, which were either not delivered
rat all, OF read at e7ening sessions When few
persons were there to hear them. # Il was
not for the newspaper men about Washing

look out for the Comet.

We learn from dispatches received by
the last steamer, that the' great comet Of
Charles V, for which astronomers have
been anxioqsly sweeping the heavens du-
ring several years past, has at length made
its appearance, after its protracted journey
through the distant regions Of space, and
will very shortly be visible to the naked
eye. It has been seen from the Paris OBJ
servStory through its telescopes, and is pro-
nounced by Arago to be none other than
lifelong expected visitor. The FIRST recorde d
observation Of this comet was in the year
1864, and its disappearance took place on
the I'd Of October Of that year, which hap
pened to be the day on which Pope Urban
w died. After an absence Of 292 years.
it again made its appearance in 1856, and
was obsered by Paul Fabricions, astrono.
mer to Charles Y, who executed q, map. of
its path, which was published in November
Of that year. The Emperor considered it a
special omen Of his own approaching death
but he lived for some years afterwards. =
| It Vas then described as great and bril-
| liant star. Its course was Through Vir-
20 and FOOTE'S, past the pole Of the heavens
into Cepheus and Cassia opeia." The cele-
brated DR.. HALEY calculated its elemetn'ents
more than century afterwards. and sew
eral others after him. It was expected Z
return in 1S48 or thereabouts, the orbits Of
comets being somewhat irregular, and thei'
emotions being much effected by the pom.
derous orbs Of Jupiter and Saturn. It il
probably owing to these retardations that !
has been ten years longer on its way thar
was anticipated. s.
