Steam.

IT is quite surprising, at time when al
most everything is done by steam, to
know how few people have any correct
idea of what steam really is Let the
question, "What are the bubbles whil b
rise through boiling water filed WITH" be
proposed to number of people of all ages
ana conditions in life, AMI part of them,
three out of four, if cot nine out of ten,
will answer at once, "they are filed with
air." But how air enough TO I'LL so many
and such large bubbles ever got into the
water, it is quite plain they have never
taken the trouble to think. And these
same persons will tell you, with equal
pronptness, that the white cloud which
comes from the nose of the boiling tea
kettle, and the whistle of the iron horse
on a winters morning, is steam.
Now, both these common notions are
wrong. The truth is, the bubbles are
filed with steam, which is water changed
by heat from heavy liquid mass to a
light, gas like fluid, just as invisible and
quite as light as air. The white cloud is
warery vapor 1t was once steam, it is
ed TO water, whence it came.
Such is the nature of water, that, when
an atom of it, lying at the bottom of a
kettle or boiler, is exposed to 212 deg. of
heat, tits isinstantaneou;ly changed to steam,
and becomes nearly tNo thousand times
as large as it was before. AS Satan, in

Of toad at the ear of sleeping Eve,

Ithuriel's spear, so The tiny particles of
water, under the magical influence of heat,
suddenly leap from their humble form in-
to great Kissing bubbles of steam. These,
on account of their great lightness, quickly

agitation of boiling water.-Oli0er OPP

A Cave CT Dead Indians-Mamm0th
Remains.

The following information is given us
by gentlemen of the highest character and
credit, who have seen with their own
eyes, touched and tested with their own
hands, the wonderful objects of which
they make report.
The workmen engaged in opening a
way for the projected railroad between
Weldon and Garysburg, struck, Monday,
about one mile from the former place, in
bank beside the river, a catacomb of
skeletons, supposed to be those of Indians
of remote age and lost aud forgotten
race The bodies exhumed were of
strange and remarkable formation. The
skulls were nearly an inch in thickness
the teeth we're filed sharp, as are those of
cannibals, the enamel perfectly preserved;
the bones were of wonderful length aud
strength-the temur being as long as the
leg of an ordinary man, the stature of the
body being probably as great as eight or
nine feet. Near their heads were sharp
stone arrows, stone mor,ars, in which
their corn was brayed, and the bowls of
pipes, apparently of soft, friable soap
stone. The teeth of the skeletons are said
to be as large as those of horses. One of
them has been brought to the city, and
presented to the officers of the Petersburg
Railroad.
The bodies were found closely packed
together, laid tier on tier, as it seemed.
There was no discernable ingress or egress
to the mound. The mystery is, who these
giants were; to what race they belonged,
to what era, and how they came to be
buried there. TO these inquiries no an
swer has yet been made; and meantime
the ruthless spade continues to cleave
body and skull asunder, throwing up in
mingled masses the bones of the heroic
tribe. We hope some effort viii be made
to preserve authentic and accurate accounts
of these discoveries; and to throw some
light, if possible, on the lost tribe, whose
bones are thus rudely disturbed from their
sleep in earth's bosom -Petersburg ( Va.)

The Arab Sword Trick.

To MY astonishment, the next who is
sued forth as performer, was my ZOuave
acquaintance, who far eclipsed all the
Others. He had taken off his feZ, and his
long sweeping hair was hanging wildly
about him. He advanced to a brazler of
burning charcoal placed on the ground,
into which incense was thrown, ana swung
his arms about over the rising vapor with
intense violence for several minutes, when
he removed his embroidered jacket and
then his shirt, so that the upper part of
his body was nude, his head rocking, and
his body swaying in the wind all the time,
On a signal from him, a MaTabout pre-
sented him with a naked scimitaT, where
upon he kissed the feet of Marabout, and
ran the sword across his own tongue.
Two men now came forward and held the
scimitar between them, when he flung
himself upon it ON his bare stomach, and
in this way he was carried three times
around the yard amid rapturous lou lous
from above When he ceased, the sciml-
tar sunk deeply into the hard flesh of his
stomach, which folded over it 30 that 1t
required an eff ,rt to extract the weapon.
A deep red welt remained, but no blood
flowed. He next stood with his bare feet
on the edge of the blade, and was borne
around in like manner, standing on the
weapon. After this he lay upon the
ground on his back, and the scimitsr was
held over his stomach by two men, while
a third stood upon the blade. This ap-
peared 10 inflct dreadful torture upon the
victim, but gave intense qualification to
the female spectators in the upper gallery
who became louder than ever in their
vociferations. These feats must have
caused him much suffering, for at the con
olusion he was in profuse perspifation
and was laid on the ground and covered
over for some time, after which he was
supported into the house in state of ap
parent exhaustion, doubtless with ba(
headache after all the churning his brair
had uGdergone,-LieutenGAt' Colonel o. s

to keep sharp lookout for the missing

searching through some papers in his
