LIGHT WITHOUT HEAT.

II is q popular error TO suppose
that light cannot exist apart from
heat. At the Parish academic des
Sciences, NJ. Jansen recently gave an
account Of q series Of experiments
which seem TO prove that the rays Of
heat entering the eye are all absorbed
before reaching the retina two-tbirds
being taken up by the cornea, and
the rest by the aqueous humor. This
discovery furnishes n new and beauti.
full illustration Of the adaptation Of
mans organic nature to the external
world. The exouisitely sensitive per.
vous network which spreads itself
over the chamber of the eye, and pre-.
sides over the function of sight, needs
protection from the heart rays which
would irritate, and perhaps destroy IL.
Hence the wisdom and care Of the
Creator have placed between the rcti-
ma and The external rays Of light suit.
able screens, endued with such quail
ties that, while they give free passage
to the rays which are grateful TO the
retina, and essential to vision, they
absorb aud watchfully exclude every.
thing which would prove a source
OF pain or mischief.
A most ingenious and useful appli.
cation Of the power Of separating light
FROM heat is mentioned 10 late nun.
Der Of the Boston Medical and .Surgi-
cal Journal, and attracted n few months
ago considerable attention at Paris,
by the brilliant light il afforded. 1t
is called the organoscope or electric
lamp, aud has been exhibited before
the Royal Society of London and the
Academic des Sciences Of Paris.
At the meeting Of the latter, NJ
Velpoua introduced IL into the throat
Of a young man, and was so pleased
with the aid it afforded for exploration
that, on resuming his seat, he cxclaim-
cd with enthusiasm, that "the instru-
ment was capable Of rendering great
assistance in tho arts aud in medicine
and that il might even be employed
for lighting up deep we'll" Gaissler,
some time ago, discovered that an in
duction current Of electricity, when
passed through a vacuum tube, exhib-
its new and beautiful phenomena
Instead Of appearing in disconnected
sparks, the electric current fills the
tube with brilliant phosphoresccnco,
which is more intense in proportion
50 the tube is smaller and more near
ly capillary. The tube is wound into
q fattened spiral, the open ends ft-
ting into two wider tubes Of bulbs,
having platinum wires sealed in them.
When the discharge from Ruhmk.
Off induction apparatus is passed
shrough the vacuum-tube the spiral
becomes intensity luminous, and since
the discharge produces the same effect
when passed through two miles of
copper wire, there is little doubt of
the possibility of using this instru-
ment for the illumination Of distant
points.
In connection, also, with the astro-
nomical telescope, periodical illumin-
stions may thus be produced under
n
the direction Of the thermometer. In

LATER FROM New MEXICO. Fur.
Their details of the news from Santa
i'e the 9Th uIt., by the mail which
arrived at Independence, Mo-, on the
18th inst, came to hand this morning:
Gov. Rencber il out in lengthy
article in the Santa FL Gazette, dc.
tinipg his position in refusing to call
for volunteers. lie says there are
sufficient troops Of the regular army
for all practical purposes, and that
under the law tho Governor has no
power TO call into service the militia
as Congress has made no provision
for paying them for any service rem
dored. He is also very severe on
Mr.. Otero, the delegate from New
Mexico, complaining that 1t IL the
second time he has gone out of his
legitimate duties TO assail him.
Col. Fauntleroy has received orders
from the Secretary Of War TO make
an immediate and vigorous campaign
against the Navajoe Indians. With
the force be has now, the Colonel
will be able to put n speedy termipa.
ton to existing troubles, If he only
obeys his instructions.
On the 18th of August the Nava
joes stole from the Government
herd at Valvcrde three hundred
head of beef cattle. Thirty troops
went in pursuit and recovered fifty
head, but did no injury to the
thieves.
Senator Baird, from the counties
of Santa Anna and Bernillo, has re-
signed his Office as Senator for the
purpose Of taking an active part in
the campaign against the Navajoes.
No Indians were seen on the route

A NEW ffoTEL.-The Delta says n
new house is to be opened on Maya
Yin street, and christened the st. James
Hotel. The Delta says
"The Saint James," n namo in
which the prevalent fashion Of Hotel
nomenclature Of this city, Of giving
to their establishments the title Of
Saint, thus is happily blended with
that of the enterprising proprietor Of
the building, A. B. James, Esq. The
st. James is certainly most elegant,
complete and substantial editice, adj
mirabiy designed and constructed UNI
der the direction Of that accomplished
architect, Mr.. Reynolds. Il occupies

Banks Arcade, between Gravier and

one hundred feet on Magazine street.

d. BEHAVED HIMSELF LIKE A Cav.
rLEmAs'--The Holly Springs (Mis.
sissippi) Constitutional Union says:
In his speech AZ the Court house
on last Monday week, Senator Da.
Wis was very severe on Mr.. Douglas
for taking the stump in his own
behalf. He called him an itinerant
advocate of his own claims. and
said that this itself disqualified him
for the Presidency. lie remarked
also that he would have been bet.
ter satisfied If Mr. Breckenridge
had not listened to tho solicitation
of his ncighbos, and refused TO
make any speech. In this conneo.
ton we were glad TO hear him APP
plaud the course of John Bell, by
saying that he chad stayed at home
and behaved like a gentleman"
Benton, in his reply, proposed that
this should decide the claims Of tho
great aspirants, and that as Bell,
even in the estimation of the dis
tinguished Senator, had done better
than either of the other opponents
Of Lincoln, ana, like dignilied
candidate for Presidential honors,
"had stayed at home and behaved
himself like gentleman" tho pco-
pie had better take him.
