How q Vessel was Saved.

The City of Houston, which sailed from New York for Galveston, Texas,
 would have gone down with all on board, in the late gale had it not so happened that some naval officers and U. s. sailors were on board as passengers. Seeing that the ship was manageable and that the Captain was incompetent to navigate
 her, and had become confused, Lieut.. Schelky and Lieut.. Commander Stroud took command, and summoning up their sailors, barely saved the vessel from the breakers. A terrible tale IS told. For twenty-four hours the wind blew hurri- cane. All sail was carried away. The tiller-rope broke and rebroke {; the fire room was filled with water and the fires put out. The cabin was full of water, the boilers broke loose from their fast enings, the saloon was carried away, and the ship wreck. The gallant naval officers took command when the ship was in this condition, and the captain had given up, and by rigging up the donkey pump, splitting up furniture and using two barrels of pork, fire was kindled under it and the ship pump ped out. A false rudder was rigged when the ship was rolling so that no one could stand on her decks. The boilers were strengthened up and fire kindled under them and the engine backed until they got clear of the coast.

The Bursting of Steam- Boilers.

The terrible accident on the Staten Island ferry-boat, by which hundred lives were lost, and hundred persons crippled or injured, still continues to ab- sorb the attention of the whole commu- nity, who demand greater safety in steam boilers, or in the management of them.
 From the contradictory views express ed by persons who are considered ex- perts, 1t is apparent that comparatively little is in reality known about the causes of boiler explosions. The opinion pre- vails generally that the most essential thing in safety is, that the boiler should be very strong.
 A different and novel doctrine on this subject was recently advanced in our hearing by 8 practical engineer. He ex- pressed, with great confidence, that there is only one cause ever, for the ex- plosion of boiler, and that is, letting the water get too low. He says you cannot explode boiler in 8 way to cause any considerable loss of life by any other means
 But the most curious point in his theory is, that the stronger the boiler, if the water is allowed to get low enough to explode it, the more disastrous will be the consequences.
 He contends that if cold water is let suddenly into heated boiler, an explo- sion is inevitable, no matter how strong the boiler may be; and the greater the force employed to confne the steam, the more terrible will be the explosion. Familiar facts seem to sustain this doctrine. If you fire powder in a>gun without any wad over the powder, it ex- plodes with very little force and scarcely any noise whereas, if you put tight wad over the powder, ram it down hard, then put shot and another Wad over that, the powder explodes with great force and loud noise. Moreover, it often causes the gun to recoil, and sometimes bursts the gun-barrel. Sportsmen are very careful about too tight wadding, o1 too heavy charges of shot, which confine the powder too strongly, as the powder, when ignited, must force whatever con- | fines it assunder,
 And yet how in principle, are the tight wadding ana heavy charges of shot different from the strong steam boiler
 Another thing men engaged in blast ing rock know that the success of theil operations depends, in a great degree, l upon the thoroughness and strength o1 the tamping.
 Drill a round hole in a rock, and fill it up with gunpowder; apply 8 match t. the powder you produce 8 flash and g little smoke, and that is aI The rock remains unmoved and unbroken.
 But place few pounds of powder ir the bottom of the hole, tamp it down hard with broken stone and other sub. stances very difficult to remove, then light the powder, and you have loud explosion, sending the small stones high up in the air, and frequently breaking in pieces tons of the rock into which the hole has been drilled
 These views are thrown out as worthy the consideration of men of science. One conclusion we are obliged to come to, and that is of great practical i'm portance !: Whether steam-boilers are strong or weak, they are very dangerous unless closely watched, and faithfully and wisely attended to.

Perils of the Fulton Canyon.

MT. George Partridge contributes the following in an article descriptive of his visit to the California Geysers
 "We now commence to descend the mountain down the Fulton Canyon to the Geysers, descent of nineteen hun dred feet in few miles. The road goes down in a regular grade around the ribs of the mountain. Commencing near the summit, you see the depths of the can- yon several hundred feet below you and what is peculiar about the road is it IS cut around the sides of these steep ribs of the mountain, sometimes through hard gravel, sometimes through conglomerate rock, leaving nearly per pendicular cliffs on the one side, while there is very great descent on the other to the abyss below. And this is not so only on the outer ribs which you ride round, but also in the inner circle be- tween the ribs. What gives a further interest to the scene is the fact that the road itself in very many places is so nar- row that person sitting on the upper side of the wagon can discover nothing on the other but the abyss below. See ing no ground on that side for the wheel to run on, and with nothing to prevent your going to the depths below but the skill and carefulness of the driver this condition of things your surprise and fears are awakened very soon after starting down the declivity by finding that, instead of the horses walking or going upon slow trot, they are started off upon brisk trot, and sometimes run into d gallop, and you go whisking around these corners and short turns at full speed, having nothing but the brake to govern your carriage, and, if not ap- piled at the exact moment, all is lost :; all at the risk of the lives of the passen- gers, horses and driver and you hold on to your carriage with all your might, expecting every moment to be thrown overheard. To expostulate with the driver is of no use, for they know thein own business better than you ; they have never turned over yet, and they don't expect to do it now. And you feel that you have taken your life ir your hand, and you are ready to cry out Lord save us ! They still push on, whir1ing around these bends, as though the road was straight and of the utmost width, when to our expectation, but not to the drivers, in turning round one of the inner circles, at full speed, our carriage upset, throwing us all out on the ground and rocks, endangering the lives of us all.
 Fortunately, no one was killed, but all received some bruises and hurts one lady, confined to the bed for nearly a week, struck on her side. I looked up on it as miracle that we were not all killed To show the narrowness of the road where it was done, the carriage had to be pulled up into the road, as it was righted, to prevent it's being thrown overheard. It is said this was the first accident that ever happened on this road, which was built but three years ago. If so, can only say it is mir acle of Divine Providence which has prevented it.

THE ONIoN.-Some one wrote to the English Mechanic lately, desiring to know what was the cause of the anti-mag- netic property of the onion and in re- ponse to his request, correspondent relates than King Charles the Second once propounded as a problem to the Royal Society the question, why a live fish might be put into a vessel full of water without causing it to flow over, while dead one produced the opposite effect. After long debate, in which strenuous efforts at an explanation were made, a member suggested that possibly it would be well first to show that the monarch's assertion of fact was true, and it was then ascertained to be with out foundation. The asserted anti-mag- hectic property of the vegetable men, toned seems to be of like character, as the strongest obtainable onion did not in the least affect very delicate magnet.
 ARsENICAL ORNAMENTS. few days ago little girl had a bunch of artificial grapes given to her. After amusing herself with the toy she gave it to play mate of her own age, who presently picked grape off the bunch and sucked it. The next day she was a corpse. An eminent physician, who nalyzed the fatal plaything, deposed that ten of the grapes yielded three grains of arsenite of copper-a deadly poison-and that each vine-leaf on the bunch contained enough to kill child. Another childs cupboard, in which it's toys were kept, was lined with green paper. The poor little thing sickened and died, obviously from the effects of poison mysteriously imbibed Dr. Letheby analysed the paper-hanging of the cupboard, and found that a piece of it only six inches square contained nearly thirteen grains of the deadly compound-enough to kill two grown-up persons !-Loradom ha- quirer.
