PILE DRIVING By GUyP0WDER.

recent number of the Liverpool Courier gives
the following description OF an experiment at
driving piles by gunpowder:-
The pile is placed, as in ordinary machine
between the guides in which the monkey, or
s.tup,n moves. Working between the same guides,
and resting on the top OF the pile, is a cast-iron
cap Of ton weight the UPPER part Of which has
70 the depth OF about two feet. This cap, or
cannon, rests on and follows down the pile with
each stroke Of rhe monkey, which is or 1900
pounds weight, and works in the same guides as
the cannon. This monkey g Of castiron, with a
stem OF TWO feet in length made OF wrought-ron,
with q steel expansion ring at its termination,
and this stem enters easily TO the extreme depth
OF the bore OF the cannon below it, when the
monkey is allowed TO descend. Into the cannon
bore Is thrown cartridge OF compressed blasting
powder, one to two ounces weight, when Is coated
with tinfoil or plumbago, so that II will emily
pl0de under high heat the greatest success seem.
sng to be attained by the A0west powder. The
monkey being raised 10 its place about ten to di.
teen feet above the top oi the pile, or, rather the
cannon resting on 1t, an operator throws into the
cannon bore cartridge. and the party al the base
pressing on the break allows the monkey to tall
with its stem into the lannon's mouth, when. by
the sudden compression OF the air in It, enough
heat Is generated 10 explode the cartridge the
effect OF which Is, first, 10 force down the pile by
pressure similar to that OF hydraulic machine
and with power enhanced from ten 70 twelve
times greater than the impact force due TO the
weight and TALL OF the monkey alone when no cart
ridge Is used. In addition TO which the monkey
cannon from ten 10 thirty feet according TO weight
OF cartridge, aud is automatically caught BY the
break at It's highest point, ana remains there held
until another pressure OF the break releases 10 for
the next blow. Thus the powder Is made to do u
double duty In forcing the pile down while the
monkey is forced up 10 the requisite point or the
next blow The advantages obtained are -

the pile Is left as although u forced down great

THE GREAT PAGoDA OF wAT-CHANG.

BY far the most conspicuous object as one sails
up the broad and rapid river from the gulf thirty
miles distant, is the great pagoda of Wat-Chang

of tropical foliage on the rivers bank conceals the
base OF the enormous structure, and shades the
smaller buildings Of the monastery which 1t
adorns. 1t is impossible by any description to
convey an impression of its striking ana unique
beauty. The white walls Of the temple stand In
strong contrast with the dark green of tho banyan
and the orange and the bro ad plumes OF the state
ly palm. The roofs are covered with elazen tiles
of green and gold. In the midst of all these low
or structures, smaller turrets lesser pinnacles
swell the gigantic pyramids, rectangular, h4xagc-
nal, and conical in turn, till at the summit round.
ed like cup0la, it Ia surmounted by a final Of
gilded metal, spreading into careful branches dn.
der the blue sky. From every branch of tn great
spire, from every prominent angle and projection,
hangs little gilded bell, and to the tongue Of
every bell is attached little fan. So while the
shining porcelain of the mighty tower glitters
and sparkles with it's various colors in the sun
light, the least breeze that sweeps over the broad
river and makes tremulous the kleaves of the dark
trees below, will set In motion all these countless
tongues on high, and make the whole pile must

NATURE AND SCIENCE.

M. Houzeau maintains that not only does
eacp group OF animals possess language
winch is understood by other members of the
same group, but that they can learn to I'M
oerstand the language of other groups. His
dogs for instance, perfectly understood his
poultry. Cocks and hens have one danger
signal Tor the approach of a bird of prev, an
other for that. of a terrestrial animal ar for a
man. When the latter was sounded the dogs
would rush out and bark. while to the for
mer they paid no attention whatever. He
therefore concludes that fowls have the
power OF expressing slightly different but
closely allied ideas and dogs can learn 70
understand these differences.
In lecture delivered before the working
men OF Brighton, Professor Carpenter direct.
