Making the amount of $50
The debt of the Children's Friends Society,
before alluded to, is 1856 SO; and the amount
thus contributed will relieve the Society of
this incumbrance, and leave a surplus of Sl53
Al. Having understood the donors in every
instance to design their entire contribution to
be applied to the benevolent uses of the Socie
ty, after the payment of the debt, Col. b., on
Saturday, forwarded the foregoing sum of five
hundred and ten dollars to the Treasurer.
While these donations will be gratefully ap-
preciated by the excellent ladies who consti-
tute the Board Of Managers, and indeed by all
who cherish this sacred public charity, there is
reason for additional satisfaction in the fact,
that the amount has been cheerfully and vol
unfairly given, without interfering, it is be-
heved, with the regular and full support for
which the institution annually relies upon our
common philanthropy.

be known to us. Heat from gaseous bodies
has greater penetrating power than that
from merely hot bodies; and thus the heat of
the sun is so well calculated to penetrate our
atmosphere and heat both it and the earth.
This solar heat, when at last arrived at the
earth's surface, loses its celestial character and
becomes terrestrialized, and so supplies men,
animals and vegetables with that warmth their
existence and growth require. OF the one
hundred per cent. of heat that enters the at
mosphere, fifty or sixty per cent. reaches the
earth, and again only the very small quantity
of about ten per cent of this is reflected.
BooK-MAKING.-Book making is an art in
itself, whether we consider it in its exterior or
interior decoration. The English excel all
others In the artistic arrangement that is re-
quired in a really exquisite work. They I'M
derstand it in all its minutiG The very title
page is a model of neatness and elegance; and
OF such Importance is the superintendent of
their labors, that artists, trained even in their
vocation, are employed in most of the large
establishments to attend to it in all its artistic
capabilities. The art has also been carried to
high degree of excellence and finish in
France, and many have acquired great re-
nown there, in the department of handicraft.
Their prices, too, are enormous, being three
times as great as those of the London binders,
large though the latter are The French
books are remarkable for the firmness of their
boards the smoothness of their leather, and
the delicacy, the richness of design, and the
sharpness of outline of their gold tooing.
The designs upon one of Beauzonnet's, Cape's,
or Lortie's books, seem hardly to be stamped
upon the leather, but rather to be inaid in it.
But for pleasure and convenience in use, the
work of the French binders is inferior to that
of the English Books bound by the former
are very stiff,-that is, they open with great
difficulty, and require constant pressure to
keep them open.
AF INGENIoUsLY CONSTRUCTED PUMA
pump, of simple and ingenious construction,
has been introduced. In its working parts,
valves and packing are entirely dispensed with,
thus obviating the usual liability to get out of
order. The pumping apparatus consists mere
ly of two eliptical cams or long cogs working
together and into each other, which are packed
by the action of the water forced into grooves
placed in their ends for that purpose. The
ends Of the caNs do not rub against the inside
of the case, consequently there is but little
friction to overcome, and less power is required
to drive the machine. The water enters the
case in which the cams work, at the bottom,
and the stream divides and fills chambers made
by the long cams on each side and inside of the
case. The instant the pump is started, it be-
gins to exhaust the air in the suction pipe, and
does not stop until the air is all out, provided
the suction is not so long that the air cannot
be exhausted by any pump.

GAS LIGHTs.-The first gas lights may be
said to have discovered themselves. The most
remarkable natural jets were found at a colliery
at Whitehaven and Cumberland. The miners
were at work one day, when gust of air of
powerful odor passed by them, and, catching
fire at their lamps, bazed up with such bril-
liancy that the golfers took to their heels in
fright. 1t was found, however that the fame
large as it was, burned quietly and without
danger, and the men returned to their work.
A curious result then appeared The flame
was entirely put out, but Immediately re-kin-
died on the approach of fire, so that the only
way to get rid of the gas was to conduct it to
the top of the mine. A tube was fixed for the
purpose, and the gas, being lighter than the
air, assembled to the surface. AS soon as it APP
peared there, it burst out once more into bril-
liant flame. The application of gas to general
purposes of illumination was first tried by Mr.
Murdoch, in Cornwall, in 1892. The first dis
play of gas works was made in Birmingham,
on the occasion of the peace rejoicings in 1902.
Gas lights were first introduced in London, in
1909; and the present extent of gas pipe in
and about that city is about twelve hundred
miles.

ENGRAVING BANK NoTEs.-When bank
note is to be engraved, soft steel pate-long
enough to contain the engraving of your notes,
side by side-is put in the transferring press,
and the dies of the various vgnettes, ends, etc.,
previously selected, are separately rolled upon
it, in the proper place, the raised lines of the
dies sinking into the plate and leaving fac-sim-
lilies of the original engravings so perfect as
not to be distinguishable from them by the aid
of powerful magnifying glass The writing,
title, and other minor parts of note, are
afterwards engraved by hand in the ordinary
manner and the plate is then considered fin
ished. Thus it is perceived that the operation
of engraving a bank note is performed by
merely transferring to the plate, vignettes ETC.,
which have previously been used on other
bank plates; and this fact accounts for the
notes of different banks frequently having the
same vignette, or otherwise resembling each
other. Some practical plan is very much
needed, by which the alteration of genuine
notes may be prevented, and by which the
engraving of notes may be made more uni
form.

The Sun AND IT'S HEAT.-The distn-
guished astronomer M. Arago, has shown, by
an application of the principles of optics re-
specting the polarization of light, that the sun
is not red hot ball, but that IT is surrounded
by an atmosphere Of flame, through spots in
which we occasionally see the suns dark body.
The sun, then, according to this theory, is not
incondescent, and the comets shine by lights
reflected from him. How the sun derives its
supply of heating material, will perhaps never

CALoRIc PRoDUcED BY MoTIoN.-M. Fou-

tus to show that motion produces caloric A
thick bar of iron, bent into horse shoe form
is convertedintoa an electro magnet; between its
two extremities is supported a disk of copper,
to which rapid rotary motion-three hun
dred or four hundred revolutions a seconds
communicated by the Intervention of toothed
gearing. So long as the horseshoe is not
electromagnetic, the disk turns with ease /;
but so soon as the horseshoe is placed in con
nection with battery, and thereby converted
into an electro-magnet, great resistance to the
further revolution of the disk is made manifest.
If in spite Of this resistance, the disk is turned
during minute or SO, and thermometer be
placed upon the disk, the mercury will ascend
TO sixty or eighty degrees, although the tooth
gearing, axes, etc, remain at the ordinary
temperature

IMPROVED BORING CHlsEL.-A German
engineer has made some valuable improve
ments in the chisel used for boring to a great
depth in stone. He attaches the boring chisel
to wooden ramrod of five to six hundred
weight, which is alternately elevated to hight
of one or two feet by wooden rod, ard this
by its obstinate weight on the rock, by which
even the hardest is reduced to powder. In the
old apparatus the rod was made of iron, which
amounted, at depth of one thousand feet, to
one hundred or one hundred and fifty cwt i'm
parted to the falling chisel vibrating motions
which nearly annihated its action The
wooden rod on the contrary, swims in the wa
ter of the bore-hole, and rods of from one thou
sand to two thousand feet in length do not con-
siderably augment the weight of the apparatus
The progress of the work VARIES according to
the quality of the rock, from one to ten feet
daily but hard rocks do not prevent the like
difficulty as soft and loose ones, which must be
protected by tubes of strong sheet iron.

REV. Mr.. RICHARDSON, of the Salem Street
Church, preached two able and instructive dis
courses, yesterday. In the morning, his text
was from Matthew, 1879: FWho hath ears to
hear let him hear" In the afternoon, his text
was from John, LII "The law came by
Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus
Christ 1t was the aim of the preacher to
show the insufhciency of outward forms and
ceremonies, and the necessity of cultvating
the inward light and judgment in order to form
the true Christian character The Mosaic dis
pensation, which had fulfilled its mission, was
contrasted with the gospel. The former was
temporary, merely, and adapted to particular
nation, while the latter was adapted to the
whole world, and for all time. The customs
and creeds of many of the modern churches
which had adopted too much ofthe old Jewish
system, were criticised, and the necessity of a
return to more spiritual Christianity, by
practical carrying out of the precepts of Christ
as laid down in the sermon on the Mount, was
shown. The discourses were practical in their
character, and were listened to by large con-
gregations.
