Cool is he, when wrapt in FIRE,
As nAme-proof salAmandeT.
Straight As ever ploughshare cut
Through the solid soil furrow,
Grape and canister he put
Through Bragg lines at Murfreesboro'.
Beaten seemed he in the night;
But, thank heaven he didn't know II:
Facing death and Boorning night,
Hard his row, bH he could hoe III
Bragg he scsred, who heard him cali
Cheerlly for frcsh bhttAlions;
Deuce one he had, at all,
But he humbugged the rapscGlions
Oh when routed from his lair.
Bragg skedAddled with his backera,
Would that DAYTON had been there
With his "split Bread, !" Pies, and Crackers.
Tired with battles crimson toll,
To the great occasion waking,
All our troops had left the brOil
And "gone in" for Dnyton'S baking.

the attention Of philosophers, but II not until
the time Of Sir Humphrey Davy that II was well
understood. This eminent man considered name

temperature Of ordinary hame Is not precisely
known, but II must be extremely high, since It
melts platinum II exposed few moments to It's
poirt Of greatest intensity The only condition to
render common air luminous, is to combine II with
other hot vapors. ..
This may be shown by disengaging from the air
the eombusiible elements oxygen AMI hydrogen
and mingling them, The aAme produced In this
case IL but the effect Of the combination Of the two
gasss. In their pure state n is almost invisible,
and is wonderfully intense. All flame is hollow,
and Is even flled inside with yapor. This the lee
turer showed by cutting OFT the flame Of a candle
by piece Of clear mica, and through II observing
the Interior, which appeared dark and cloudy.
Another proof was, that the wick Of a candle or
lamp, when in the centre Of the blaze, does not
burn, but only innames on contact with the air;
that iS, near the point Of extreme intensity.
The cause Of the smoke, from a burning candle
or amp,iG this the wick contains carbon by nA-
ture and hydrogen by capillary attraction and the
carbon, being less oombustible than hydrogen, IL

Dr. Torrey made several experiments also prov
ing that name could be extinguished merely by
lowering the temperature Of the ignited gassCs.
