Tree Planting,

A movement is on foot among the gran
gers to set apart one day in the year Gin the
month of May, by preference) for setting
out trees, when each member of grange is
to devote the entire day to the work. 1t is
suggested that Wednesday, May 10th (the
day of the opening of the centennial expo
sition), be set apart for this purpose.

KEELY'S WONDERFUL MOTER.

A Sun reporter paid a visit to the
machine shop Of Messrs. Sergeant &
Chillingworth, in this city, where one
of the Keely moter generators is
being made. It is intended to be of
l00.horse, but by operating it rapidly
it will give it q power of 800 horses.
Experiments with a generator of
about fifty horsepower on low pressure
gave entire satisfaction to the COM
pany, and Mr.. Keely was advised to
construct larger machine. He there.
fore, two years ago, began one OF
1000 horsepower, to be endowed with
sufficient strength to stand the requis-
ite force with perfect safety. The
next experiment was with q genera
tor of 1000 horsepower, constructed
Of gun-metal. A pressure of 5000
pounds to the square inch did not burst
this metal, but caused the vapor to
ooZe completely through it's peers,
much to the establishment of the by
standers. The virtue of Wrought-iron
and steel are now to be tried. The
chambers of Mr.. Keely's 1000 horse
generator in Philadelphia have stood a
pressure of 25, 300 pounds to the square
inch in the lower part, and 10000
pounds in the upper, and retained the
vapor, but small globe at the top of
one of them, which it was thought
could be safely constructed of gun
metal, allowed the vapor to escape. A
new one is under constr uction, to-
gether with some minor parts, and by
June lst a trial will probably be made,
and one small machine of five-horse-
power will likewise be tried, The
chambers have stood a pressure of TO-,
600 pounds. The inventor and the
stockholders are perfectly satisfied
with the feasibility of the theory.
The only point now is to get metal suf-
ficiently dense enough to retain pres
sure. The power will be generated by
4 vaporizing of water mechanically,
! and without the aid of heat. The ex-
pense of fuel will thus be saved. The
water, after being vaporized, and pass
ing through the various tubes and
chambers, does its allotted work upon
the engine, is recondenced into its for.
mer state, and, again becoming vapor.
lied, starts again upon its mission of
mighty pressure.

EGYPT'S CLIMATE CHANGING.

NJ. de Lesseps has just returned to
Paris from his five-months' trip to
Suez, and on taking his seat in the
Academy of Sciences gave some de-
tails concerning his observations.
During the winter the excess of water
in the Bitter lakes runs into the canal,
causing the current to set in toward
the Mediterranean but during the
summer, when these lakes are lowered
by evaporation, the current runs in an
opposite direction. NJ. de Lesseps
states one important fact: Formerly
rain was unknown on the Red Sea, but
since the building of the canal there
are showers about once q fortnight.
This has started vegetation up even
upon the Asiatic side, where the infl.
tration is only of salt water. The
study of the ancient geography and
history of that section has been be-
gun again by order Of the Khedive.
Recently pieces of splendid monuments
were found upon the site of one of the
old cities of Rhamses, NJ. de Lesseps
laid two specimens before the acad-
emy. One was young shark with the
umbilical cord, which attached. it
to the mother, still intact; the other,
some oyster shells, taken from 4 bed
ID feet above the level of the sea.
These details appear trifiing, but they
are Important to the savans.
