Engineers are studying, with
the enthusiasm peculiar to their
profession, the interesting prob
lem of employing compressed air
as a motive power. From the
time that this system of working
engines was first proposed down
to the present, one of the most
annoying practical difficulties en-
countered has been the excessive
refrigeration caused by the ex.
pansiOn Of the air, and the corse
segment freezing of the moisture
contained in it, this freezing re,
shifting in the blocking up of the
pipes and passages With ice. To
avoid this trouble it has beer
proposed to heat the air Oh Its
way to the cylinders by passing il
through pipes enclosed in stove
or furnance, or to envelope the
cylinders in jackets through which
the products of combustion of {
stove might be made to circulate
But among other objections t,
the plans thus brought forward
there is in them the risk of Civ
ing to the air prior to its admission
or to the cylinder itself, such {
temperature as to destroy the lub
ricating material employed, ant
thus cause ''cuttlng" to TAX
place.

HONEY DEW.-The sweet
exudatoin that appears on the
alder, maple, rose and some
other trees, has been examined
by NJ. Boussingault, who finds
that it is composed of about
fifty five per cent, Of cane
sugar, and twenty Of deXtrine.
In the healthy state, the sugar
elaborated by the leaves Of
these trees, under the influ-
ence of light and warmth, pass
into the tissues of the plant by
the decending sap, but in GER
tain desease accumulate on
the upper surface of the leaves,
either because the movement
of the sap is hindered by the
presence of an excess of dex-
trine. This diseased state M.
Boussingault thinks, is not the
result solely Of meteorological
conditions, though they exert
a certain influence; neither is
it produced by the puncture Of
the leaves by insects, since the
most careful watching failed tt
detect their presence until afte1
the emulation had com
menced.

A Story Of Two Pictures.

Pictures themselves sometimes
have curious history. The story
of the two pictures at Florence is
old, but not worn out. An artist
at Rome saw often, playing in the
atreet near his wrndow, a child
of exquisite beauty, with golden
hair and cherub face. Struck |
withlthe loneliness Of the boy, he |
painted a picture of him and
hung it up in the studio. In the
saddest hours that sweet, gentle
face looked down upon him like
an angel of light. Its presence
filed the soul with gladness and
longings for heaven, which its
purity symbolized. '''If ever |
find" said he, ga perfect contrast
to this beauteous face, l will paint
that also, and hang it up on the
opposite wall, and the one l will
call heaven and the other HE'LL
Years passed. At length, in an
ether part of Italy, in a prison,
he visited, looking in through the
grated door of a cell, he saw the
most hideous object that ever met
his sight-a fierce haggarG fiend,
and cheeks deeply marked with
the lines of lust and crime. The
artist remembered the promise he
had made himself, end immeG
ately painted picture of thi:
loathsome culprit, to &ang owe
against the portrait of the lovely
D. boy. The contrast was perfect
