Science in America.

Few of the American colleges or uni
versities attain an English or German
standard. The education they give is
ambitious, superficial, and, therefore, un-
sound. The most highly-boasted Amer
lean Institutions turn out very few
scholars, though, perhaps, in proportion
to their whole number of pupils, fewer
ounces than their English rivals. In like
manner the Prossoriate, though it includes
men who would do honor to any English
or German university, is, on the whole,
decidedly inferior in depth and thorough
ness of requirement to the teaching
bodies OF France, Germany, and Great
Britain. But in pure science, and in
sciences applied to practical purposes,
the United States hold their own with
any rivals. The Geological Survey of
the Territories is worthy of comparison
with any achievement of European en-
gineers and geographers. The naturalists
whom the liberal policy of the Govern
ment attaches to every expedition that
affords an opportunity of inquiry into
new regions hitherto traversed chiefly by
hunters, trappeTs, or traders, have con
tributed in q manner not unworthy oil
their special opportunities to their several
departments of knowledge. The range
of botany and of zoology has been not a
little extended by American discoveries
and Investigations; and not the least i'm
portant of those records of geological in
quiry which have brought out new evil
dence in favor of the evolutionary theory
came from beyond the Atlantic. Amer
lean astronomers, in particular, rank with
the first in the world, and the osserva-
tories of Washington ana Cambridge are
scarcely less famous than that of Green.

History of the Corset.
LondonCity journal.

LondonCity Journal.
The corset had its origin in Italy.
and introduced from that country into
France by Catherine de Medicis. Mary
Stuart and Diana Poiters did not, how
ever, follow the fashion, but it was adj
mitted by all the ladies of the French
court that is was indispensable TO the
beauty of the female figure, and was
therefore, adopted by them. The corset
was in the days in its infancy, and it
assumed more of the rough character of
a knights cuirass. The frame was entirely
of iron, and the velvet which decorated
the exterior hid frightfui and cumber-
some machine. This state of things, so
detrimental to health, and the cause of
so much personal inconvenience, not to
say torture, could not last long, and the
artisans of those days coltrived to give
more pliability and lightness TO the met
al, and prepared the way by degrees for
whalebone. But, as reforms are always
slow, the cod iron continued TO clasp the
warm hearts of the fair wearers for long
time in its embrace. The corset found
favor in the eyes of Louis XIV. In the
following reign the corset was threatened
with Punishment from the toilet. Fash
ion took a rural and simple turn, and was
almost guided by the taste of Boucher.
in whose pictures many of the court celeb
rites figure as shepherds and shep-
herdesses. But the painter departed, and
fashion returned to the prim eceentricities
of the former times. During the revolu-
ton the corsets were again forgotten, and

Deaf Peoples Troubles.

From the New York Times.
One of the saddest features of excess
siye deafness is the unhappy mental eff
feet it is apt to leave on those troubled
with it. So frequently is this the cause
that If has been said that persons of
morbid dispositions are peculiarly liable
to this way of looking at the matter,
cause and effect arc transposed. It is
certain that persons of cheerful DISPOSE
tions have been apparently transformed
into something wholly different from
their former selves by being deprived of
the ordinary powers of hearing is greatly
impaired is called upon to bear. He is
out Wardly in no way different from other
people, and unless he has with him at ali
times some ugly symbol of bis infrmity,
like an ear trumpet, strangers cannot
know and friends are likely to forget that
he is wanting in one of the most-used
powers of sense. OF course, when some
thing is said to him which he does not un-
derstand,in consequence OF the light, care

or because the sounds are lost to him in

ness and ask to have question or state.
ment repeated. But to be thus perpetu-
ally acknowledging ones weakness is ex-
ceedingly distasteful to most persons;
the more so as the confession rarely
brings with it any satisfactory return,
The prevailing belief of those who have
not associated much with deaf people is
that to make them hear it is only nee
essary to raise the voice. This, in most
instances, is complete mistake, few men
and still fewer women, who are
not professional vocalists, speak plainly
when they SPEAK with loud voice, and
hence it often happens that the victim of
their kind efforts is in no way assisted in
the task of understanding them, while
all those who may be near are made
aware of his misfortune. The proper
way is to speak slow and distinctly, for
with the deaf the recognition of volume
of sound exists, just as a near-slghted
man has perception of any object, only
in one case as in the other, the outlines
and divisions are uncertain and confused.
AS this is rarely understood, those who
are troubled with deafness soon find that,
attempts at general social Intercourse
bring with them more discontinue than
pleasure, the natural result is to force the
sufferer into kind of mental isolation.

The Steam Engine.

The Marquis of Worcester is common
ly regarded as the inventor of the steam
engine, but, perhaps, the most that can
be justly said is, that he was the first per-
son that imagined the possibility of con-
structing such machine. The individu-
al who actually first constructed an engine
for raising water by the alternate force
and condensation of steam, was Captain
Savary, who published an account of his
invention in a small tract, called the
Miners" Friend" In 1705, Newcomer
obtained patent for an improved steam
engine; and in 1717 Henry Beighton
made some further mprovements, one of
which is generally allowed to have been
that of causing the steam-cock to be
opened and shut by the machinery; a
man having been previously employed
for the express purpose. A few other
Improvements were made by different
persons, but they did not effect the gen.
eral action of the engine; and, although
defects in its power had been noticed,
their cause was unknown till 1865, when
happily for the prosperity of the arts and
manufactures of Britain, the subject en-
gagged the ingenuity of Mr.. Watt The
model of Newcomers engine fell into
his hands to be repaired, and in this
presently observed the immense loss of
steam occasioned by its admission into the
cylinder, just cooled for condensation
indeed, he went so far az to ascertain by
experiment that half the steam of the
boiler was thus lost But the circum-
stance that excited his greatest surprise
was, that the injection water gained in
finitely more heat than if quantity of
boiling water, equal to that required to
form the steam, had been added to 1t.
In this dilemma, he is understood to
have consulted the celebrated DR.. Black,
whose discoveries on the subject OF heat
were then the theme of general wonder:
and from him be obtained such an expla-
nation of the difficulty as enabled him
so to alter the construction of the engine
that with rather less than one-third OF the
quantity of steam it could produce the
same power as one of equal dimensions on
Newcomers plan.
But great as was this improvement, il
formed but small part OF the successful
achievements of Mr.. Watt in this depart
ment of mechanics. The application and
utility of the engine he extended in va
rious ways; and at last arrived at that
climax of improvement which consisted
in making the steam serve to elevate as
well as to depress the piston. An engine
upon this plan, executed at Mr.. Watt
mandatory at Soho, near Birmingham
was first EMPLOYED at the Albion mills
in 1878.

The explanation which Calico gave to
the artisans of the failure of their suck
ing pump to raise water higher than
thirty-two feet, namely, that it was the
limit of natures adherence Of vacuum,
he did not consider himself as quite sat
isfactory it was, indeed. evading, rather
than meeting, the difficulty proposed for
his solution. In the last OF his dialogues
he mentions an experiment to ascertain
this power of 0irtu, as he calls it, of 6
vacuum; but although he got the length
of weighing air. he advanced to no con-
clusion respecting the effect of its in
cumbent mass. The atmosphere was, in
his days, still supposed to reach to the
moon, and the pressure of columns OF
such enormous height seemed to mock
all calculation, and to overwhelm the i'm
agination.
