THE NOctiluca, the most beautiful Of he

light, which makes the sea shine like
streams of silver in the wake of a ship, of a
warm summer evening, when they come to
the surface in countless multitudes 1t is
a globular animal like minute soap bub-
bic, and, being about the thirtieth Of an
inch in diameter, is a giant among the in
fusoria. Its electric light, supposed to be
emitted BY a direct excrtiOn of the nerve
power, appears constant to the naked eye,
but really consists of momeDtary scintilla-
tons, that increase in rapidity aud intensity
by the dash Of an oar or the motion Of the
waves
CHICAGO is to have an astronomical
clock, with diaIs all over the city, the
hands of which will be moved simulta-
neously by galvanie battery, and the bell
in the Court House is to be struck by the
same means. 1t is to be copied from the
London arrangement, and will be a capital
thing. The Chicagoans will then be able
to be regular and on time in their drinks
and devotiOns.
A "PIrcHER MACHINE. An English
paper gives description Of pitcher ma

pitching sheaves of grain on to a rick or in
to a loft, which is usually done by means Of

A SIMPLE test Of the per centage Of wa

the affinity Of alcohol for chloroform. In

settling, all the water will be found to have

artistic taste is not aroused the Italian is, in
the extreme, slatternly with his work =

A Mothers Love

Happy is be who knows his mothers

poets fame, the friend sympathy, the lovers

her faith with tears, looks forward to the best
fruit of her labor. and her love. But ma
ternal affection springs flom the breast, I'M
invoked by touch of interest. Its objects
are the weak and woeful 1t haunts the
cradle of infantile pain, or hovers near the
couch of the faint and forsaken. Its sweet
est smiles break through the clouds of mis-
fortune, and its gentlest tone rises amid the
signs of suffering and sorrow 1t is limpd
and lovely flow Of feeling, which gushes
from the fountain head Of purity, and courses
the heart, through selfish designs and sordid
passions, infringing and unsullled. Who
is SO firm? Time and misfortune, penury
ane persecution, hatred, infamy may roll
their dark waves over it and still il smiles
unchanged or the potent allurement of for
tune opulence and pride, power and spIen-
dor may WOO her, and yet she is unmoved-
a mother loves aud loves forever.

Speed and Power of Locomotives.

Speed and Power of Locomotives
;The speed Of an engine depends on the
rapidity with which its boiler can generate
steam. One cylinder full is required for
each stroke of each piston. Each double
stroke corresponds D one revolution of the
driving wheels, and to the propulsion Of the
engine through space equal to their circum-
ference. Wheels seven feet i'll diameter
pass over twenty-five feet in each complete
revolulation. To produce a speed of seventy
five miles an hour they must revolye exactly
five times a second and to effect this revo-
luton, each piston must make double that
number of strokes in that time, and consume
ten cylinderfuls of steam. The power Of an
engine in drawing loads depend On the pres
sure Of the steam, which is usually about
100 pounds on the square inch. 1t is also
limited by the adhesion between the track
and the driving wheels, which is proportional
to the weight pressing on the latter 50 that
instead of the weight being an obstacle, it is
one Of the principal elements af power. The
tractive power Of an engine of forty tons,
with thirty-two resting on the drivers, would
be about four tons.

Genuine RoligioRn,

How beautiful is thsSI Iroligion
which teaches me to love God above
all things aud my udighbor as my.
sefl Religion is bcnevolehce, aud
benevolence includes every virtue
The benevolent can not be uncharit-
able, can not be uulaithful, can not
be cousorious, can not be impure in
act or thoaght, can not be SELFISH,
they love God and their neighbors
and they do as they would be done
by. But who is religious? who is
benevolent? {? who is at all times pure
in thought or deed ? who is at all
times free from censoriousness, from
uncharitableness? None. No, not
Que. The precepts taught us as
those on which chang all the law
aud the prophets" he lore of God
and the lore Of hy heighJor, may be
impressed upon the heart and have
the whole undivided assent of the
understanding while tho mind is in
this state, the individual is religious.
But the cares of the world and their
jarring collisions mist at times ocou.
py the thoughts, and divert the mind
from this wholesome state. The
passions which have been cherished
by bad education-.the iudulgeuces
that have become habitual before the
beauty of wisdom was perceived by
the thousand aud ten thousand oc-
currsuccs which tempt the rich to
uncharitableuess, and tho poot to en-
Wy and malice. all by turns, Danish
the truth from the mind. This has
led men to the desert and to the
to bccome hermits and
monks; forgetting that religion te-
1uires to do as we'll as to suffer-
Truth becomes effective by frequent
contemplation; and the habitual re-
currehce Of its precepts induces prao-
tics.
