NiirOgell--Its Utility.

Nearly every person is aware that a
watch without a regulator would be OF
very little use, sometimes it would be
too slow, and although it would 60, it
would not keep good time. Those
who have seen a steam engine may
have noticed part shaped thus, V
with two balls that keep twirlng
around on the end OF it-this is the
regulator. The power of steam was
known long before Watts great inven-
ton, but there was no method of reg
ulating it, for some times it would run
like mill, and other times it would
run as slow as the pendulum Of large
clock. Hence we clearly see the val
ue ola mechanical regulator, and from
it we can judge by analogy Of the util.
ity ola chemical regulator, such is
nitrogen. The ethereal fluid surround
ing the earth, which we call air, is the
source OF terrific power, oxygen, and
were it not for the regulator (nitrogen)
that is mixed with it, all the operations
Of nature which are dependent upon
air, would 90 at velocity so irightful
as to defy description. ia candle

burned out, if a fire were lighted in a
CRATE, not only the CRATE, but the
whole iron range, trivet and all, would
be consumed. Life, instead OF extend
ing to three score and ten, would prob,
ably terminate in a week. We can
thus perceive how much we are in
debted to the divine creator of the
universe, who in giving the air pow
er (oxygen) gave also the regulator
lnitrogen.) The air contains four parts
nitrogen TO one of oxygen, so that
when we breathe, we inspire nitrogen
in much crater proportion than we do
oxygen, yet singular enough, this gas,
nitrogen, has no direct action upon
our lives, but it is perfectly inert, and
it is this singular quality of nitrogen
which renders it so very remarkable.
Chemists cannot, by any Straighttor-
ward process, make it urite with any
other substance. III a perfect "bach-
elor," Or "old maid," among the ele-
ments. Nevertheless, it does succumb
to some of natures laws, for when the
lightning flashes through the sky, we
find nitrogen united with hydrogen
A salt Of ammonia is then produced,
this the rain brings to the earth, plants
absorb it, and the animals eat thereof.
Finally, we find nitrogen as one ofthe
constituents of animal tissue. True,
however, to its character, nitrogen,
the moment it has ceased to be under
the influence Of the vital principles,
endeavors, as ii were, to again become
free Scientific American.
