ltorially, it feels no surprise at the announce
ment from Washington that the British and
American Commission has declined to admit

rubbers against tho boiler will say the
inventors, generate sufficient heat TO boil
the water and get up steam. So far,
good. AS philosophical experiment,
such an arrangement is by no means an
impossibility. "When the power of the
steam in the boiler before mentioned, "
the specifications go on to say, is suffi-
cicnty developed, the machinery con-
nectcd with it can be set in motion to Sc
cure a similar revolution of wheels or mo-
tion of blocks, and the fire in the small
engine first mentioned may be let out,
and the means used to create the primary
motive power discontinued" The sur
plus power obtained in this manner is to
be applied to any purpose which may be
desired. .-Ehglish Engineering journal.

THE FINISHED YEAR.

ANOTHER year has flown! months weeks and days
Each marked with mercy, stand recorded now;
While each vain promise, each forgotten VOW
Conscience accusing to my face arrays,
And tells of faithlessness In all my ways;
But these confessing, at the throne bow
And sovereign grace lifts my detected brow
And fills my mouth with canticlcs of praise.
With daily thanks from strength to strength 90;
With grateful songs crown the finished year.
And when | end my pilgrim-pa below,
And in the city of my God appear,
With praise untirng shall my lips oerlow,
Unmarried by evil, and unchecked by fear.
