Medlayal France.

A singular discovery has been made at
the old Conciergerie in Paris. At the
court Of Cessation fire had DESTROYED two
out OF the three towers, and few DAYS
since the worknen engaged in repairing
that named after st. Louis came suddenly
upon mysteriously deep well. This was
contrived curiously in the wall facing the
quay, and proves 10 he nothing less than
the fatal dungeon of the old Palace of
st. Louis. Yet none of the historians of
the Conciergerie mention it, and chance
and mischance only have now made it
known. An opening of tw 20 square yards
in one of the turretS reveals horrid
tunnel reaching the level Of the Seine.
Thereit forms gallery sloping downwards
to the bed of the river. The attempt 90
penetrate into this dreadful dungeon was
iruitless, as the interior is lined with
sharp iron spears and points which cross
each other in every direction. When this
Tower of St. Louis was used occasionally
as the dwelling of the Kings of France,
captiyes of note were confined in its I'M
dergronnd prisons, and when the powers
that were became anxious to get rid Of
any one of them they led him through a
passage formed in the interior Of the wall
towards this newly. discovered dungeon
A secret door was opened, and he was
precipitated into the yawning chasm, and
there, transfxed by spikes, he persisted
in slow torture. OF course, il NAV
be easily imagined that it was only
portions Of skeletons that ever reached
the bed of the Seine The discovery
Of this relic of barbarous age
is another milestone marking the pro
gress Of humanity.-Lo Globe.

A Marine Monster.

The London Daily Telegraph gives
an interesting description of the new
English war.ship Devastation. That
the Devastation is great success, so
far as she has been tried, is now adj
mitted. The ponderous monster, which
sduats upon the astonished waters with
dead weight of ten thousand tons,
takes any ordinary waves with stolid
indifference, whether she receives them
end on, or upon bow, beam, or quarter.
The prodigious hill of foam which her
stern piles up when under way, washes,
as was expected, clean over her forward
deck, and she is often submerged aft I;
but her massive midsection rides quiet
ly enough, and those on board her
when anchored in the rolling tide-way,
say that she was steadier than the house
ashore. She turns with great readiness
and in a small circle, and her speed, as
proved in six trials along the measured
mile, is not only equal to the promise
Of her designers, but it exceeds expec.
tation.
The mighty engines driving this
island of iron with an indicated power
of $500 horses, with seventy-seven rev.
olutions to the minute, got fifteen knots
and half out of the ship, and her
mean rate at full steam is thirteen
knots and three-quarters. Here, there
fore, is craft which is vulnerable only
to very few guns, has the swiftness
of a small packet, and the hardness
thanks TO her twin screws-ot a tug,
while she could utilize the qualities to
hurl upon the sides of an opponent the
awful force of all her 10, 600 tons, NOV
ing with the velocity of a spear. On
board this remarkable man of-war
there are no less than thirty four dis
tinct and separate engines, and, indeed,
the value which she represents is as
serious as her fighting capacity. What
remains to be learned is the behavior
of the ugly giant in real Biscay
gale, and whether or no the cul-de-sac
which she carries aft will or will not
prove mistake in heavy flowing sea.
With stability assured to fifty-five
degrees, with no top gear to set her
over, and with decks which can be her.
metically sealed, she would be safe
enough; but whenever she does roll, or
pitch, or scud, the rivets and fittings
in her huge body will be thoroughly
tried. Except the Russian monitor
Peter the Great, nothing floating could
resist or even challenge such vessel,
at once so strong and swift. The tor
pedo, no doubt, may yet be so devel-
oped as to make the Devastation and
all her terrible sisters impotent against
a defended coast. On the rough sea,
at present, she has no superior. though
we may suppose the day will come
when even this amazing construction
will be as obsolete as the three deckers
of Nelson.

Increased Exports From New York.

The statistics of the exports from
New York to foreign ports during the
month of February, show a steady and
gratifying increase. The total amount
was $2l, l39, 900, against ST., 9l5, 900 in
the corresponding period Of last year,
and the increase over the month Of
February, 1870, is more than $1,000
000-all exclusive OF specie exports.
The increase this year is largely in do
nestle produce, and the increase i'm
February is still greater. The foreign
imports at this port in February. ex-
elusive of specie, were equal to $685.
72C, 564--nearly the same as in the cor
responding period of last year. The
import trade, therefore. remains virtu-
ally stationary, while there is steadi-
" increasing demand abroad for our
products.

A NEW FUEL.
Flame ana Light from water
From the New York sunday Herald.


Applied science has recently added
to the great inventions of the day
process for extracting fuel from water.
The author of this process, Mr.. Ruck.
an English practical chemist, has re.
allied the old dream OF scientists that
the exhaustless heating power stored
in water may be actually employed for
mechanical and domestic purposes.
This brilliant idea, which, it is claim
ed, enables the inventor to set the
Thames on fire, has been successfully
tested and developed IN the large
works on the banks of the river near
Battersea Park, and the process which
il originated is extremely simple and
easily put in practice. Ordinary steam
is brought through a pipe from one of
the boilers of an engine, and is allow
ed to pass through ared-hot horse shoe
shaped tube, reposing in a fiercely
burning furnace. While in this
tube the steam is superheated.
so that its oxygen and
hydrogen are ready to dissolve their
alliance, and Afterwards it is forced
into a retort filled with incandescent
coke and iron fragments. The oxygen
is left behind and forms with the iron
scales a black rust, the hydrogen
passes freely through the red retort,
and when certain sulphurous vapors
have been disengaged from the resi-
dual gas there comes forth the heat
ing gas" supereminently suited for all
caloric purposes, where heat without
light is demanded. 1t is admirably
adapted for all kinds of stoves and
steam engine boilers. The cost of the
gas at the works is found to be only
seven pence for thousand cubic feet,
and this quantity would boil about fifty
gallons of cold water. The cost. it is
said, can be reduced by using the
waste heat of the retort fulAance to
supply the steam, which is now sup
Piled by an independent boiler.
The distinctive feature of the Ruck
process for making the new fuel gas is
in the decomposition of the superheat-
ed flame by means of coke and iron,
which remains for long periods in the
retort without requiring change. Com
bined with thi is also an arrangement
for carbonizing the heating gas for
purposes of illumination. This is done
by making it pass through oil, from
which its carbon is received, and
whence it issues an excellent gas, equal
in Illuminating power to sixteen can
dies for a consumption of FIVE cubic
feet per hour in an Argand burner.
The cost of the gas, as used for hight
is trife less than fifty cents per thou
sand cubic feet.
This invention, if fully developed,
will set at rest the uneasiness on the
coal question, and work a worldwide
revolution in the cost OF fuel and light
for all purposes.

An Embarrassing Mistake.

A story has gone the rounds of liter
airy gossip in New York, and is now
told by the Tribune, about an attached
pair, of names not unknown to fame,
who went to board uptown, where peo-
pie also went who were literary and of
good taste The lady, thinking that
as she and her husband were ali in ell
to each other, it was as well they
should remain so, desired of the hos
tess that there might be no introduc
tions to the other boarders, which was
observed. Various tender passages
between the amiable pair on their way
TO and from the dlning-room edited
the family during the season. In time
a Boston man came to board, end on
his way TO the basement at dinner time,
going down late, he heard a light
laugh behind him, and figure not so
light as the laugh sprang on his snolll-
ders and claimed ride down stairs.
The Boston man took things coolly,
carried his burden down into the din
ing-room, and shot her into vacant
seat ut the table. The lady looked up
to find her husband already there be-
fore her, and every eye was lifted to
watch these extraordinary proceedings
There was nothing to be done but to
burst into tears, which she did.

Beautiful World.
BY BELLA FRENCH


Beautiful, beautiful world
World in sublimity grand!
Over and in thee trace
Marks Of the great Makers hand.
Beautiful, beautiful world
World of both shadow and sum-
He, the great Maker was here,
Ages ere thou vast begun.
Beautiful, beautiful world
Lovely in snow and in blooml
Strange, oil how strange that cen thou
Often art Swallowed in gloom
Beautiful, beautiful world
Grand in thy elements strife,
Often repeating, me thinks,
Much OF this strange mortal life
Beautiful, beautiful world
Bright art thou for each gale,
And it may be we are far
Purer for storms which assail.
Beautiful, beautiful world
O, were We faultless as thou,
Fewer the traces of care
Marking so deeply each brow.
Reautilul, beautiful world,
Changing, yet Joyous and glad
Only mankind is at fault
Only thy children are sad.
Beautiful beautiful world!
Oft for heaven we sigh,
CHANGING away to the stars.
Wlen we've a paradise nigh.

REMOVAL OF Gun FROM SILK. Form
erly raw silk was boiled in bags in a
solution of soap, whereby its gloss was
frequently injured. Afterwards this
process was modified by exposing the
silk to the action of steam, after having
beenimpregnated with Marseilles soap.
The removal of the gum from raw silk
has since then, been still further sim
plitied, and requires neither boiling nor
steaming. The silk, suspended upon
sticks, is removed about for quarter of
an hour in hot bath, containing I n
of soap for every pound Of silk, and
then treated in the same way in sec
ond bath containing only one fifth
pound of soap for a pound of silk.
Simply as this proceeding is il has,
nevertheless, been found successful in
rendering the silk soft, smooth, and of
higher gloss.
