AS to the advantages claimed by this style
Of engines over the reclprOratng engines the
| inventor makes the following points That
for instance in small reciprocatng engine

length Is five, six or eight inches, and there
Is certain amount Of back action every time
the pi.,ons go from one end Of the cylinder
to the either: hence in running the distance
Of 10 feet there would be 20 back actions
Now by taking the Lowest back action laid
down 10y the sblest writers, 8 per cent. has
been lost every six inches run. which In 10
feet run would amount to jnst 3 per cent. Of
the whole power. Every time the piston

The Eagle and the Lobster.

The lewiston Journal relates this
lively experience Of the ''proud bird y
freedom" with an uncomfortable salt
water customer. The scene is laid on the
coast of Maiue, in Hancock county.
IAN old white headed eagle, who had
been waiting aud watching all the snm
mcr's day from the top Of his favoIite
eagle tree for his Ivants-the fish
hawk or quito catch his dinuer for
him, but in vain, concluded, as no bird
appeared, he must either seek his own
food or go to bed hungry.
HE accordingly left his perch, and
flying slowly over the smooth waters oi
the bay, discovered his supper movin.
along slowly on the bottom,-for it was
nearly low water. One swoop aud u
plunge, and he succeeds in fastening his
talons IN the tail of q large lobster, which
with difficulty he wings to his iavorite
tree, the Holsters claws dangling in the
air, aud performing various gyrations
visible to the lady Witness.
with a long, victorious scream for
liberty the eagle landed his prey. Bat
the tables soon turned;' for the lobster,
true to his instincts, when brought in
contact with the tree, had fastened one
claw to branch, and the other to the leg
vi the eagle.
Tue booming of wings and the wiId
screeeh of tue exgie now were indicative,
