Bessemer's Hopeless Failure.

The truth has now come out about the
Bessemer, and It appears to be in several
respects a hopeless failure At first
it was very much puffed by the newspa-
per reporters, who we're Hospitality
feasted by the proprietors but the facts
that she was an unmanagaole boat and
that the swinging saloon was q delusion
could not long be concealed. It is said
that her habit of running 8 muck at
piers and other harbor constructions Is
due to an improved steering apparatus
of a novel kind, but this is a sort Of i'm
provement which would be more appre-
ciated in q battering ram than IN e
peaceful passenger ship. It has been
suggested that It should be purchased
By the admiralty fos the purpose Of
naval warfare. The probability is that
the swinging saloon viii be given up as
bad Job. It's weight sinks the vessel
too deep In the water, and besides 1t
does not control the worst motions Of a
tossing sea. There can be no doubt,
however, that, apart from what was TO
have been its chief feature, It is very
eommodious and handsomely decorated
boat, and at least superior t. the ordi-
nay craft which ply between Francs
and England.

heavy double and triple jam of noble
pine logs, from Saginaw to above Eden

A LOCOMOTIVE WITH LEGs.-M. Trek
ca exhibited, at a recent sitting of the
Paris Academy of Science, q model of a
locomotive engine now being tried on
the Eastern Railway. This engine has
no wheels, but what may be called legs.
IL does not roll, it walks, runs, or gal
lops. It is like an ordinary railway
engine with straight rods terminating
in broad circular skates. There are
three legs in front and three behind.
The moving cylinders, instead of turn
ing wheels, raise the feet, and the
whole acts something after the fsshiOn
of a three legged horse. This inven-
ton Is especially adapted for carrying
great weights up an incline, The en-
CINE at work on the Eastern Railway
weighs 10 tons, and does or s klio
meters an hour, and can accomplish if
desired 20 kilometres. OF course, this
style of locomotive is not likely to dis
place the one now in use, but 1t IS
especially applicable to mountain rail
ways, and is step In a new direction.
The model exhibited at the Acadmey of
Sciences ascended an incline OF % de-
grees with ease.

After Seven Centuries.

The Tfrne-Blaekenod Temple of thr
Juggernaut Tumbling to Pieces.
India correspondence OF the London Times.
An event Of some Importance recently
occurred in nnoction with the Temple
o. Juggernaat. Throughout the whole OF
me Empire Lnere Is no shrine so sacred
as Pooree, and no spot where u devout
Hindoo would rather die than beneath
this great fame. The temple, which cost
half a million sterling of tho money Of
our timas, is literally black with with
age. The storms of nearly seven centn-
ries, which are often so violent IN the
Bay of Bengal, have produced little i'm
preston upon it, and until Il few weeks
ago it seemed us likely to remain rs
many centuries more. Many OF the
large temples in the province are now IN
ruins, but they have not fallen through
the wear and tear of time. A silent but
effectual power has been the cause of
this destruction.
The seeds of the peepur and hanyan
trees have got into their foundations
These have taken root; the sapling has
forced its way through the tisures of the
stones, and in process OF years the whole
fabric has been loosened and eventually
brought dow n, and it seems probable the
temple of Juggernaut will share the
same IdLt. AU BUt ldlc thE ltStlNulS
soon as the idols had been taken from
their thrones for their annual excursion.
several stones of the inner roof fell on
the platform. Had they fallen few
minutes earlier the idols would have
been shattered to atoms, and in all pro-
liability there would have been a great
loss of life.
The resident magistrate applied TO the
Governor for an engineer to inspect the
damage. This WAS found to be a very
difficult task, as the temple is so dark
There are no aperatures for the light;
five or six lights are kept burning in the
daytime, and even with these, nothing
is visible but the idols. H. is but very
rarely that temples are repaired, and the
sound of the chisel and the hammer on
the top of this great temple will do more
to weaken the faith of the Hindoo ia
Juggernautt than anything that has oc-
Cured in the present generation. There
will be no lack of money for any esti-
mate as the priests are very wealthy
and the annual income of the temple is
said to amount to SOS, 900. The ques-
ton which is agitating all priests is
what is to be done with the idols while
repairs are being madef The officers o!
| the temple are most anxious to have the
