Nou-Freezing water Pipes.

A device to prevent freezing water
from bursting water pipes has been in
vented in England. 1t is well known
that when water freezes it expands, and
that the force exerted is so enormous
that no pipe can resist it. This inven-
ton is intended to give the water a
chance TO expand without bursting the
pipe. 1t attempts this by securing in
the inside of the metal pipe a space
equal to the difference in volume be-
tween water and ice, so that when the
water freezes it occupies the space re-
served for it, instead of exerting its
force on the pipe and bursting it. This
is practically carried out by passing
through the water pipe small India
tube, specially made for the purpose,
aud of such diameter that the space in
side is little more than equal to the
increase in volume of the ice. The
India rubber tube is always kept full of
air so that when the water freezes it
finds the necessary space for expansion,
for by COMPRISING the air tube it dis
places the air and takes its place. When
the ice melts the tube again expands,
becomes filled with air and is ready for
another frost, and so on for any number
of times without requiring attention.

Some discussion coneernlng the
history, during the war, Of the HygejA
Hotel, in Virginia, the great Southern
watering-place, has drawn out . let
ter from Hon. Joseph Segar, its owner,
in which be says thGt its destruction
was owing to Instructions given by
the War Department, st the concur
ring suggestion Of Gen. Dix, Gen. Nc
Clellan, and Gen. Halleek. he de-
scribes it as one OF the most valuable
properties in the country, and after
SAYING that but for the intervention
Of the war It would have made him
one Of the wealthiest men in Western
Virginia, he goes on to fix the respon-
sibility where it belongs, by asking (:
"Why not honestly locate the black
responsibility upon Jefferson Davis,
and Robert Tombs, and William L.
YaDeey, and John Slidell, and Judah
P. BENJAMIN, and A. g.. Brown, and
Robert M. T. Hunter, and James n.
Mason, and their misguided compeeFs
who plotted aud propelled the fearful
insurrectIon that drenched with BROTH
ers' blood, and desolated to utter ruin
and % isery, the faiFest portion Of Gods
wide earth, this sunny South OF ours
But for secession, should still be
the fortunate and lOrdly proprie-
tor Of the renowned Hygeia,
and the recipient of the princely
income it afforded me in dnte-6elltrHi
times. But for the secession, / should
yet be the happy possessOr Of that
elysian homestead whose beauties
and attractions you so well know.
But for the secession, the people of
Virginia would be as happy as OF
yore. But for secession, / should be
at this moment one OF ths richest
men in all Virginia, and verify be-
lieve one Of the hsppiest mortals on
