The LOST ART OF THE EGYP-
TIANs.-This wonderful discovery
has been made by Louis S. Robbins,
by which any kind Of timber can be
made to last for centuries. 1t has
been recently patented, and is now
being introduced into the arts, by
ship builders, house builders, furni-
ture and carriage makers, &c. 1t is
predicated on the simplest and un-
changeable laws of nature, and con
firmed by practical experiments Its
great cheapness, compared with tho
Bethel, and all other processes used
here and in Europe, must secure its
adoption everywhere. @
In ship-building no tstimate can
be made of its value and importance;
as the wood is not only made to last
tor ages, but is impervious to the de-
structive attacks of the teredo na1aiis,
which frequently in tropical seas de-
stroys whole fleets in few years.
In railroads, particularly for, bridge
timbers and sleepers, the saving is
immense. In the United States alone
are 10000 miles Of railways, with
$500 ties or sleepers per mile, which
last on an average only about S years
and cost 81 each-by this process
they will last for ages. In 25
years it is estimated that the saw
ing will reach the enormous sum of
100000 900.
Another value attaches to it pecu-
Iiarly applicable to the Southern
otates-that our soft woods (saps
pine, cottonwood, &c. can be made
at triding cost as useful and lasting
as oak.
The Bethel process, which is
every way more expensive and in
tnitely less durable, has been adopted
in England on six railways by the
most scientific and practical engineers
living. But their process requires
too much time and expense, requiring
lays and weeks to imperfectly pre-
pare the timber, which the new dis
;overy accomplishes in so many
nours. While the English applies
% only ties, spiles, and bridge tim
Der, the Robbins process can be ap-
)lied to all the arts for railroads,
;ars, wagons, agriculturalimplements
louses, and even pianos and organs
ire much improved in tone and dura-
'ility, and secures all wood from
shrinking or swelling or cracking in
my kind of weather or change of
;limate, and lasting twenty times
is long.
The cost of railroad fences and
ridges annually in the United
States is 100000, and for sleep
RS or ties alone it is S30,O0O,OO0.
These facts show the immense value
f the new invention.-Itlantu -M-

WALKING AND PURE AIR.-An-
aximines taught that air is mind
Some one else says that air is the bid
den food of life. Plutarch seems to
incline to Anaximines's opinion, re.
marking that perhaps the reason why
there is sympathy of feeling on va
rious subjects arises from breathing
the same air. Air is an exhalation OF
the minerals of the globe; the. most
elaborate!y finished of all the works OF
the Creator the rock Of ages disinte-
grated aud fitted for the life of man.
All classes of men affirm this; Syd-
ney Smith says, 60 public speakers,
that if they would walk twelve miles
before speaking they would never
break down. In English universities,
boat races, horseback rides, and ten
mile walks are a part of the educa-
tional means for physical Development,
Plato says walk in the open air will
almost cure guilty conscience.
