Street Sprinkling,

A FTER CONSULTING MANY OF THE CITI-
~ Zens in reference to the work of sprinkling the
business streets, and also many of the principal
private Streets and learning that IL would give very
general satisfaction, 1 undertook to do the work,
commencing in the early part Of 1866, and since
then have invested considerable capital in the busi
ness in order that l might be able to do the work
thoroughly and satisfactorily to ALL having quite
recently added several new water wagons, making
my facilities for doing the work in future much
better than heretofore, and, unless interrupted,
shall be able TO give entire satisfaction this season.
Learning that another party, wishing to do the
sprinklng, and having obtained a license for the
use Of the hydrant water in order 10 put stop 10
my doing the work, wish to say to the many citi-
zens who have very kindly given me their patron
age for the ensuing season, that shOuld be unab 9
to procure the use Of the hydrant water, the work
will be done satisfactorily notwithstanding, as I
shall procure the water elsewhere
With gratitude and thanks 70 the public For for

eclipse. Then this atmosphere is yisi-
bic, extending beyond the moons disk,
and forming what is called the suns
corona. There has been a long dispute
among astronomers as to the nature of
this corona, some supposing it to be
merely an illusion produced by refrac-
tion in the earth's atmosphere but this
notion is now generally abandoned, and
1T Is regarded as really part of the sun
himself, and suspected of being the true
cause OF the zodiaoal light, so long a
standing puzzle of meteorological as
tronomy. 1t is to the study of this eoro-
ma, with all the instruments science has
devised for gaining an insight into the
nature OF such objects, that the rlabors
of observers will be especially directed
during the eventful two minutes of the
eclipse of December.
The observation of such phenomena
as this, to be productive, requires the CO.
operation of a large number of trained
students, scattered through wide re-
gion of country, and furnished with ex-
pensive instruments. 1t has been gene
rally regarded by the most enlightened
governments as an eminently proper
work for them to conduct. The Indian
eclipse of 1868 was carefully studied by
scientific expeditions sent out by the
French and Prussian governments, as
well as by the British government in
India. That of 1869 was studied, and
the results of its study have been pub
lished, under the direction of the United
States government, forming a most i'm
portant contribution to astronomical
science. France and Prussia have other
work in hand; but the scientific socie-
ties in England have confidently ex-
pected that their government would
contribute all that is necessary to carry
out their plans for complete collection
of careful observations on the eclipse of
December next, by two scientific expe-
ditions to be sent from London. But
now the ministry has suddenly and
somewhat rudely, as they think, refused
any aid, and the project is abandoned.
Under these circumstances the scien-
titic men OF Europe are compelled to
confine their efforts, on this occasion, to
such cooperation and support as they
may be able individually TO render to
the expedition sent out by the United
States Coast Survey, and to that de-
tailed by the Secretary of the Navy.
The former party has already sailed for
Europe; the latter will set off in few
days. With such eminent observers and
men of science as Professors Pierce,
Schott, Winlock, Hall, Newcomb, and
others, and with all the instruments
that are likely to be useful in such re-
searches, these expeditions can scarcely
fail to make important contributions to
the subject before them and to bring
more prominently than ever before the
world the great services which Ameri-
can astronomers are every year render
ing to the progress of their science.-N

Perpetual Motion.

Perpetual motion has not yet been
discovered. Chancellor Offyrens, of
London, in the last century, invented q
machine which he asserted would run
until it fell to pieces. Subsequent events
proved that the power was furnished by
the sturdy biceps of concealed serving-
man. Yet this affair was SO shrewdly
managed that the distinguished S.
Gravesande wrote to Sir Isaac Newton
of it, telling him that his ideas of gravi-
tation We're fairly overcome, and that
perpetual motion had really been dis
covered. This machine also deceived
the elector of Cassel, who was drawn
into giving his advocacy to its genuine
ness, and thereby becoming one Of the
royal laughing stocks of Europe.
Bishop Viking devised several ma
chimes which appeared to furnish their
own motive power. After deluding the
multitude with them for some time, he
would come out with a published
avowal of their faulty. The Marquis of
Worcester was one of the most persistent
searchers after perpetual motion. He
lived in the seventeenth century, and
after years of labor exhibited wheel
controlled by falling balls and levers,
but it stopped at last, and although it
would run for a long time, always came
70 a stand-still in the end. In 1860, a
machinist in New York believed that he
Had discovered a modification Of the fly
wheel that would produce perpetual
motion, but found only that the seeming
inevitable failure crowned his work.
The above are but few of the thous-
ands of devices, for obtaining self-sus-
tanning power that have been tried and
failed.

Printing in the Chinese Language.

The editor OF the New York O5Serrer
in 1.-The Tour Around the World" gives
the following description of the difficult
ties of book-malsing in China:
One of the first places that visited on
reaching Shanghai, was the Mission
Press of the Presbyterian Church of the
United States-a wisely founded insti-
tuition, which has been doing great
work. 1t is the most extensive printing
establishment i'll China, and has been
sending its light into Japan as we'll.
The great work of DIR. Hepburn, of Yo-
kohama-his quarto Japanese Dictiona-
ry-was printed at this press; and dur
ing the last year, the third edition, 2,400
copies, of another japanese Dictionary,
the first two editions OF which were
printed at Yeddo, has been printed. 1t
is type foundry as we'll as printing
house, and, with judicious and liberal
management, it may be made an i'm
portant engine for good in time to come
as it has been in the past. During the
year 1868, $4,000 pages were printed at
this press; and in the present year the
whole of the New Testament and of the
Pilgrims Progress has been admirably
electrotyped. 1 have before me a copy
of the Pilgrims Progress in Chinese, il
lustrated with engravings drawn and
executed there, and also copy of the
Peep of Day, in Chinese, from the same
press.
On entering this extensive printing
establishment, was confronted with a
series of amphitheaters, in the interior
of each of which stood compositor
and saw at glance the immensity OF
the work which every one who learns to
read or speak or print the Chinese Ian
guage has to encounter. Each one of
these amphitheatres was what printers
call a case, containing, not twenty-six
letters as in English printing offices, but
more than six thousand different char
acters of types, and, with the combina-
tions that are made, more than thirteen
thousand. 1 do not much wonder that
the Chinese adhere to their old method
of engraving everything on wood that
they print, for should be very 10th to
attempt to hunt up many letters OF
words out of the six thousand boxes
that 1 saw before me. And yet this
mode of printing is great improve
ment on the old.

A writer in q recent issue of the Home
Journal descants as follows upon "ladies'
dogs" The genuine four-footed pets are
alone considered, human puppies being
left out in the cold: ..
Only select the right sort Of q dog as
to size, coat, color, and temperament,
and lady can keep it anywhere. There
will be, perhaps, some Inconvenience in
the city, and the risk of losing it occa-
slonally; but one can never indulge any
taste or fancy without some anxiety and
annoyance.
In large towns there are only certain
dogs which are desirable. If small and
short-coated dogs are selected, you may
keep the pup dog, the black-and-tan
terrier, the italian greyhound, or the fox
terrier; the fashionable color of the lat
ter dog being his great drawback.
The Italian greyhound is perhaps the
most elegant of the varieties generally
associated with ladies, and he was indis-
pensable to the establishment of cha
teau in "the old regime" This graceful
and good-tcmpered favorite, from its ex-
ceedingly clean habits, activity, and
love for its mistress, has always been in
high esteem but it is rare, and worth a
high price, which it always fetches. Any
educated person can at once determine
whether the one offered is pretty and
well-bred; but it must be remembered
that the smaller they are, if the color i:
chaste, the greater the value, and the
more delicate the constitution. There
is one great advantage in them: They
are less liable to become fat and inactive
than any of the "lap-aog" family; they
have little nose, and no inclination tC
chase. ...
