MATERIALS IN THEIR INVISIBLE
STATE.

If piece of silver be put into nitric
acid, clear and colorless liquid, it ia
rapidly dissolved, aud vanishes from
the sight. The solution Of silver may
be mixed with water, and, to appear
ance, no effect whatever is produced ;
thus, in pail of water we dissolve
and render invisible more than $40
worth OF silver, not particle of which
can be seen. Not only silver, lead and
iron, but every other metal can be
treated in the same way. with similar
results. When charcoal is burned
when paper is burned, these substances
all disappear, and become invisible
In fact, every material which is visible
can, by certain treatment, be rendered
invisible. Matter which in one condi-
tion Is perfectly Opaque, aud will not
admit the least ray Of light, to pass
through it, will in another form be-
come perfectly transparent. The cause
Of this wonderful effect of the condi-
tion Of matter is utterly inexplicable,
Philosophers do. not even broach the.
orics upon the subject, much less do
they endeavor to explain it. The SUBJ
stances dissolved in water or burned
in the air are not, however, destroyed
or lost by Ct rt ,in well-known means
they can be recovered, and again be
rendered visible; some in exactly the
same state as they were before their
inyisibility others, though not in the
same state, can be shown in their Gle.
mentary condition; and thus it can be
proved that matter having once ex-
listed never ceases to exist, although
it can change its condition. like the
caterpillar, which becomes chrysalis,
and then = gorgeous butterfly. If .
pailful of the solution of silver be cast
into the stream it is apparently lost by
its dispersion in the water but it new
ertheless continues to exist. So when
a bushel of charcoal is burned in a
stove it disappears in consequence of
the gas produced being mixed with
the vast atmosphere but yet the char
coel is still in the air. On the bright.
est and sunniest day, when every OBJ
ject can be distinctly seen above the
horizon, hundreds Of tons of charcoal
in an invisible condition pervade the
air. Glass is a beautiful illustration
of the transparency of compound,
which, in truth, is nothing but the
mixture of the rust Of three metals.
This power of matter to change its
from solid opacity to linn
pid transparency, causes some rather
puzzling phenomena. Substances in
crease in weight without any apparent
cause; for instance, plant goes on
increasing in weight a hundred-fold
for every atom that is missing from
the earth in which it is growing. Now
the simple explanation of this is, that
The leaves of plants have the power
Of withdrawing the invisible state in
some shape or other. The lungs of
animals and a smokeless furnace
change matter from it's visible to its
invisible state. Tho gills Of fishes and
the leaves of plants reverse this oper-
alton, rendering invisible or gaseous
matter visible. Thus the balance in
nature is maintained, although the con-
'inual change has been going on long
prior to the creation of the "extinct

The Consolidation.

As some gentlemen connected with
the Beethoven Singing Society seem to
have made free use, in the local columns
of our city papers on last Saturday for
the benefit of their society, in regard to
the failure of the consolidation of the
German societies, it is well for the public
to know that the proposition made by
said Society, namely: To accept the re-
snonsibilitv OF three years case on their
nresent hall and constitution, drafted and
ssccepted by the committees of the three
societies for consolidation, could not be
accepted by the Mannerchor and Har'
monte Societies, in consequence OF which
the consolidation, for the present at least
was failure.
The Mannerchor, with their able mus
zeal director, Professor EbeIing, ana the
Harmonic, led by Professor kFyter,
meet regularly at Melodian Hall and
are vigorously working for the advance
ment Of music and good society in our
city. IAriHh'

A SAFE THAT WILL SECURE.-W"
have neglected 10 mention the first class
safe the Exchange Bank of Wheeling
has recently placed in their vault. 1t Is
one of Herring IL Co.'S celebrated safes,
and which is reputed to be the best man
ufactured, both It's against fire ana
burglars. The safe is one Of finish
and eIaborateness in design, and also II
beautiful one. The improvement that
greatly adds to the IIe,ring safe, such
as the Exchange Bank has secured, Is the
wav the ingenious burglars are battied
by the arrangements for the prevention
of powder being introduced into tn" safe.
1.-THE method by which powder Il
introduced into safes is thus: The
crack around the door is filled with
putty, with the exception Of limited
space ON the top edge. The door
/ having been made air tight by the
puttving process, by an ingenious appll-
cation of an air pump the chamber OF the
safe is made vacuum. Burglars know
/ that Nature abhors a vacuum and Is not
/ particular what she fills II with They
/ have therefore very fine quality OF
powder which they spread upon Il sheet
/ of paper, the edge OF which they place 10
the open crack above the door, and the
/ air pump being suddenly removed, the
air rushcs in and carries the powdc.wIth
