TIE FIRRLEss LOCOMOTIVE SYsTRN.-Nr
Michael Flursche1m, mechanical engineer, of
Gaggenau, &c ImaDy, asks: "COuld not the
principle of the hreless locomotive be applied
to coaches, cabs and private vehicles? By cal
culaton find that tank of \ feet diameter
and q foot length, jacketed by a non conductor
OF heat, would be sufficient to propel an orIi-
Macadam or wooden pavement, at a speed
equaling that attained by ordinary cabs. 1t
seems to me that, In cities like London, Paris,
New York, Boston, and even in smaller towns,
large charging boilers could be kept at each
cab stand or In each street. where, at a minutes
notice, charge of hot water could be obtained
at moderate expense, which would propeI the
OF hot water could be obtained. Horses could
thus be entirely done away with; and travelling
would be cheaper, more convenient, and less
dangerous. A man who now keeps a horse and
carriage could, at less expense, purchase lit
tie buggy provided with ttreless engine, and
keep It at the boiler stand In his street. II he
wants to drive, he sends his boy or man to the
stand; in one minute the boiler is charged, and
the cab at his door, He need not be afraid OF
keeping his horses waiting at bis door, as no
weather will injure his steam animals. IT this
system were generally adopted, the municipal
tiles would probably be forced to lay narrow
gauge tracks along each street, connecting with
the cross streets by easy curves; and tracks for
longer distances all over the country would fol-
low, connecting with the city roads and pTOvid.
ed with boiler stations. We could then easily
come to town from our country places, or traY-
Ell all over the country, in our own vehicles, st
very little inconvenience, needing no one to
look after or feed the horses"
This viii do to talk about, but where viii this
mode of travelling be when we get steering ap-
paratus for the balloon?

COOKING UKRA.-I saw in yeur paper last
week request TO know how to cook okra. |
send you our receipt for Okra soup, which is as
follows: Have ready two quarts OF good beef
quarts OF tomatoes after they are skinned half
pint of lima beans, half pint Of corn cut from
the cob or grated, one or two carrots cut into
small pieces or grated, an onion if desired sea-
son with pepper and salt; a few cloves some
think an Improvement. Let il boil for an hour
and half, stirring frequently. just before
serving thicken with a tablespoonful OF flour
and one of sugar. If the stock is not rich add
a lump of butter. The Okra, tomatoes and car.
rots should boil the longest; chop up handful
OF parsley and put into the tureen before serv-
ing.
How TO MAKE APPLE.DUMPLINGs The
follOwi1 very good receipt is from the Cincin-
natl Gazette This is our plan, and thew are
delicious! First procure good, sour juicy
apples, pare and core, leaving them in halves.
Get all your ingredients ready before beginning
to mix your dough; sugar, soda, sour milk, lard,
salt, flour and apples. Now make a dough as
for soda biscuits, only adding little more lard
10 make 1t shorter. Take bit of dough ont on
the kneadiDg- board ard after kneadinS roll this
a. for pie-cTuit. Then cut In pieces long enough
TO cover an apple, allowing for tapping the
edges. Put in two of your apple halves, sweeten
according 10 taste, and cover apple and sugar
with dough. Lay the dumpiings in your bread
pan the smooth side up, first having your pan
well-buttered. Proceed in this manner until
YOU get your pan we'll filled, (be sure it is a
Large sized pan, for they viii go off like hot
cakes then place a small bit of butter on the
sugar over all; then place in a moderate oven
and allow them to bake one hour. Serve mot

EXPERIMENTS WITH Prussia ACIO.-The
attention of many chemists and physicians of
late has been called to the action of prussic
(hydrOcyanic) acid. 1t had been asserted by a
celebrated physician that the person who died
from the action of this powerful poison did so
from paralysis OF important nerves that control
the action of the heart. 1t was also asserted
that atropine was an antidOte for the poison.
Careful experiments that have lately been
maze show that the conclusions are probably
incorrect. The animals experimental upon
after large dose could not be affected by the
administration OF atr0pine, but became ssphyx-
lated. When the chest was opened the heart
continued to beat for twenty minutes after the
animal was seemingly dead, when moderate
doses were given, though they were large
enough to destroy life, yet they did not seem
10 have utterly paralyZed TO motor nerves.
This WAS shown by the fact that il artificial
respiration was employed until the nerves be-
gan 10 recover their power, the animal al ways
recovered. Death by hydrocyRnic acid seems
to be rather from a cessation or smOtheTing OF
the breath (sspf yxia) than by any action upon
the nerves controlling the muscular action of
the heart. IL was the custom to apply ice and
cOunter-irritant' to the spine to resuscitste q
person poisole6 by prussia acid. If artificial
respiration haG been kept up, as when a person
of success might have been greater. Further
experiments are to be made by distinguished
physicians in this city, and more light may be
expected to be thrown upon the obscure action
of this powerful poison.-N. z. Tribune, Sept. 80
