STEEL Bon.ERs.-Some Interesting expert
ments have been made In Prussia with steel
steam boilers, an account Of which has been
published In Dingler's Polyteehnic Journal. A
steel boiler Of the egg end shape, four feet in
diameter and thirty feet in length, without
fues, was tried. / had a steam drum two feet
in diameter and two feet in height, and the
plates were one-fourth OF an inch In thickness.
Beside It there was placed another boiler, SINH.
lar in every respect, excepting that the plates
were Of iron 0.414 OF an inch in thickness
The steam boiler was tested by hydraulic pres,
sure up to 1875 pounds on the inch, without
leakage, and both tho iron and steel boilers
were worked under pressure OF 65 pounds on
the inch for about one year and half
During this period the steel boiler generated
twenty-five per cent. more steam than the iron
one, and when they were thoroughly examined
after eighteen months practical working,
there was loss scale In the steel than In the
iron boiler. The former evaporates H. &C cubic
feet OF water per hour; the iron boiler 9.37
cubic feet. The quantity Of coal consumed
was on an average 2, 7O6 pounds for the steel
one In twelve hourB, and AGRA pounds for thu
iron boiler. The plates OF the steel boiler Owe
the fire were found TO be unlnjured, Will
those OF the iron ones were about worn out.
In Prussia several WORKOUT plates OF iroI
boilers have lately been replaced with steel
which, It Is stated, lasts four times a. long
As steel Ia twice rs strong a. iron, thinne
plates of the former may be employed 70
boilers, and more perfect riVeting can be SC
cured. A greater quantity OF steam can alst
be generated in tho steel boiler on account 0
It's thin plates, and thus fuel may be econo
miLed. Such steam boilers should engage tn
attention Of all who make and use steam boiler
for engineering and manufacturing purpose.

The PRoposED PEAeR CONFERENCE IN
GEoRefA.-We copy frsm the Macon Tel
egraph the following statement in relation
to the proposed peace conference in Geor-
gia:
:" We have pretty reliable report of
OF the result Of the Internal deputation to
Gov. Browa TO invite him to . peace con-
ference with Gen. Sherman. The latter
had this project much at heart. and sent as
his messenger gentleman we'll known, Of
high social position in Georgia, to whom hs
rendered written credentials, if desired.
He professed great unwillingness TO pene-
trate further into Georgia and inHict the
same devastation and misery which were
sown broadcast in his rear. He sent an
invitation to Gov. Brown and ether promi-
nent4 gentlemen to come up and talk the
matter ever with him, and see if some
scheme could not be devised to withdraw
Georgia from the war and save her people
from further suffering. He would like, if
Gov. Brown desired it, that the latter
should ride over the State Read to Chatta-
noosa, see "the condition Of his people in
the rear, and realize the strong claims up
on bis sympathy it presented" The reply
OF Coy. Brown, we understand, was very
much to this effect: Tell Gen. Sherman
that | understand him to be only a general
OF one of the Federal armies, while / am
merely governor Of one Of the Confede-
rate States. l don't see how we can nego-
tiate; or. if we should undertake it, how
our negotiations can lead to any practical
results"

The enemy has concentrated his fsrces
and gained at the points Of concentration,
but ne has not thus gained as much as he
has lest at the points he has abandoned in
order to carry out his present policy. He
has 4 part Of Virginia on which Grants
and Sherman's armies are encamped, but
upon the whole, his lines do not include as
much. certainly not more Of that State
than they did when Grant commenced his
campaign in May last from the Rapidan.
Shermaa has taken Atlanta, but he has
drained Mississippi. Upper Alabama, Wes-
tern Louisiana, Arkansas, Texas anda por-
tlon OF Eastern Louisiana, while the Gen.
lederates again make head in Missouri,
Western Tennessee and Kentucky, and
tho invincible Forrest bids fair soon to be
upon his communications in Middle Ten
nessee. He has taken the outer Forts at
Mobile, but shrinks from attacking the
city itself.
Let rs leok al the whole field and give
due weight to the gains and losses, and we
will see how in fact what we have gained
IN one place more than balances what we
have lost in another, while the general re-
suit goes to show that military occupation
Is not compassionate advance in one Sec
tion must be purchased by abandonment in
the other, and that in fact the enemy sim
ply holds, and only can hold, the ground
over which his camps extend and his guns
range, as long as our people are true TO
themselves and TO their cause.

some years, was at last picked up in ha-

A CuRIous FAcr.-From the Diary Of 4
Wounded Soldier, in the Biblical Recor-
der, we extract the following:
/" There is this singular circumstance
connected with my wound. The most of
the pain which feel seems to be in ,ha I
part OF my body which has been amputst-
ed. Sometimes the lost foot becomes so
very painful thai find myself trying 10
clasp or scratch il, before remember that
It has been cut oh."
We have heard Of such feelings. A high
ottieer now in this State who lost his arm
~ Mexico, is said still to feel agony in
the lost hand and arm, though il is not far
from twenty years since the wound and
amputation. Is it 50 in all cases of lost
llmbs: We ssppose not, but that il is
owing 10 some peculiarity in the nervous
organization.
From the same Diary we copy the fol.
lowing:
