CIRCUMsrANrIAL EVIDENCE.

In the year 1000 two men named Per
ry and their mother were hanged for the
murder Of man who had never been
murdered at all. Mr.. Harrison, Lady
Campden's steward, having been coll
lecting his rents, suddenly disappeared.
John Perry accused his mother, himself,
and his brother, of having robbed Mr..
Harrison the previous year, and having
again ,obbed him and murdered him on
the night when he was missed. The
mother and Richard Perry denied all
knowledge of the matter but at lenhgt
pleaded guilty to the first indictment un-
der some pressure of policy. The other
indictment was not then proceeded with,
on the ground that the body was not
found. But John persisted in his story,
and at the next assizes they were all
tried for murder. John then retracted
his confession, and said he must have
been mad. Nevertheless they were all
condemned. Some years after Mr.. Har-
nson appeared alive, and thus account
ed for his mysterious disappearance
After receiving the rents he had been set
upon bya gang of rufians. carried to
the seaside, put on Ship>board, and sold
as a slave to the Turks. Af'er his mas
ter's death he escaped, and with great
difficulty worked his way, first to Lisbon,
and thence to Dover, and arrived in
England as our law book coolly says,

Harris was arrested on some charge

A NEW KIND OF STEAMER.

Trials are about 10 be made at Mar.
seilles of vessel on an entirely new
principle, propelled without either screw
or paddle wheels. The craft is of the
dimensions of an ordinary tug-boat, and
is worked by means of steam pump of
I6 horsepower, with horizontal tubular
boiler. That pump is of immense pow
er, and draws in considerable quantities
of water which, by the force with which
it is expelled against the sea at the stern,
sends the ship forward. The vessel is
furnished with two pairs of tubes, the
one acting at the stern and the other at
the bow. During the ordinary progress
of the boat those in front are closed by
stop cocks, but if occasion arises to
make the steamer retrograde, the after
tubes are closed and the others opened
The water to supply the pump is taken
from the sea alongside, but that commu
nication can be closed, and system of
barrels filled with water is provided in
the hold to supply the pump in case of
any emergency, With this invention it
is said no vibration is produced, and the
machine can easily be transformed into
a fire engine by the addition of suita>
BILE supply of hose. Moreover. it can
be readily used to prevent another YES
sci from sinking when water logged or
leaking, by taking tubes 70 supply the
pump in the ship in distress, and utiliz>
ing the water it contains as the means
of propulsion at the same time towing
the disabled craft. The pipes for the
election Of the water are fixed in di-
rection parallel to the keel, and when at
work interfere in no way with the action
of the rudder; simply moving the vessel
on its course by the resistance the water
elected meets with the great mass of the
sea. The invention is said
to be that of an American engineer, and
the steamer is reported to have already
made ten knots an hour. The peculiar
utility Of this boat, if it answers all ex.
pectations, is for river work, and after
the trials at Marseills it will again be as
sayed on the Rhone.

THE EXPENSIVE POWER OF WA
TER.

1t is well known, says the World ol
Wonders" but not less remarkable, that
if the tip of an exceeding small tube bc
dipped into water, the water will rise
spontaneously in the tube throughout it's
whole length This may be shown in a
variety of ways; for instance, when Il
piece of sponge, or sugar, or cotton je just
permitted to touch water, these substan-
ces being composed of numberess little
tubes, draw up the wafer, and the entire
piece becomes wet, 1t is aaid to suck up
or imbibe the moisture. We see the
same wonderful action going on in ma
ture, in the risingo of the sap through the
small tubes or pores of the wood, where.
by the leaves and upper portions of the
plant derive nouTishmeuG from the
ground. This strange action is called
Capillary" from the resemblance the
minute tubes bear to a hair, the Latin of
which is capil)us. 1t lie, singular, more
over, that the absorption of the water
takes place With great force, If a dry
sponge be enclosed tightly in q vessel it
will expand, when wetted, with sufi-
cient force to burst it, unless very stout.
Wood, which is more unyieldirg ma
terial, acts with tremendous force when
wetted, and advantage has been taken of
this fact in splitting blocks of granite
This process is largely adopted in Dart
moor. After a mass of granite has been
rent from the mountain by blasting, it is
measured in every direction to see how
best to divide it into blocks. These are
traced ont by straight lines on the sur.
face, and a series Of holes are drilled at
short intervals along this line. Wedges
of dry wood are then tightly driven into
the holes and wetted, and the combined
action of the swelling wood splits the
block in the required direction, and with.
out any destructive violence. The same
process is then carried out upon the
other faces, and the roughly shaded
block finished with the hammer and
chisel.
