The Troy Wing says that the confagra-
ton in that city Of the 10th of May last,
has not yet been totally exfinguished.-
Although six months have elapsed since
that event, yet, strange as it may seem,
smoke is to be seen issuing from the ruins
of the building formerly occupied by
Messrs. Dusenbury s Anthony, coffee and
spice dealers, on River street, near the
corner Of Federal It is supposed that a
quantity Of coal which was in the cellar Of
the building above referred to, is still burn
ing, which causes the smoke.

CURED in July. In October, 1946, the fire
was still burning amid the ruins on the
corner Of Broadway and Exchange place.
In the building which had stood on this
spot, there was stored, at the time of the
FIRE, large quantity of tea, and the smoke
which continued to issue from the ruins,
was supposed to proceed from that source.
According to the writer's recollection, the
smoke disappeared about the end of Oeto-

ally stolen from the sea, which is kept by
embankments, where the sum of 81, 5O0,-
100000 was expended on the hydraulic
works between the Dollart and the Scheldt;
where its finest cities, Amsterdam and
Rotterdam, are built upon piles driven
deep into the sand; where the sea is so
much higher than the land, that the lowest
ground is tWenty-four feet below high-wa-
ter mark, and thirty feet, when the tide is
driven high by the wind; where the keels
Of the ships float above the chimneys Of the
houses, and the frogs, croaking among the
bulrushes, look down upon the birds set
ting on the house-top; where the rivers do
not run in their natural channels, but are
forced through canals; where even a cow s
tail is not allowed to grow downwards, but
for cleanliness sake, is tied up to ring
in the stable, when the animal is in its
stall; where sands abound and earth is
scarce, the careful Hollanders cannot
afford to have particles of dust extrava-
gantly wandering about, but are ever on
the qai viUs to put them under water.

Mr.. J. h. suett Of Pittsburg, communi-
Gates to the Scientific American that, BY
instructions Of the War Department last
spring, he conducted experiments on tar
gels Of iron plates four and half inches
thick, backed with eighteen inches Of oak
timber, and pierced them at every shot,
with four and half inch Parrot fiied
gun, using four pounds Of powder, It is
somewhat remarkable, that although the
chief energies Of our Ordnance Depart
ment are turned to enlarging smOoth-bOre
east-iron guns to an unwieldy size, the
most effective firing has been done by our
riAed guns Of ordinary caliber. The
preaching Of Fort Pulaski was a remarka-
BE performance in the ideas of our ord
nance of6eers. It was contrary to their
predictions. It was done at the distance
of mile, BY Parrott riaed tbirty-two and
fOrty-twO pound guns, and Jamess pro-
jeetiles, while the ten-ineh Columbiads
failed to make any impression.

Inquiry is frequently made respecting
the mode ofputtiDg gloss on linen collars
and shirt bosoms, like that on new linen.
This gloss, or enamel as it is sometimes
called, isproduced mainly by friction with
a warm iron, and may be put on linen by
almost any person. The linen to be glazed
receives as much strong starch as it is pos
sible To charge it with, then it is dried To
each pound Of starch piece Of sperm, par
afne, or white wax, about the size ola wal
nut, is usually added. When ready TO be
ironed the linen is laid upon the table, and
moistened very slightly on the surface with
a clean wet cloth. 1t is then ironed in the
usual way with fat iron, and is ready for
the CLOSING operation. For this purpose
apeculiar heavy fat iron, rounded at the
bottom and polished as bright as a mirror,
is used. tits pressed firmly upon the lin
enRnd rubbed with much force, and this
frictional action puts on the gloss.

he would make his headquarters at Madi-
