A successful experiment in sending
frozen meat to England from Austria
liza has called attention to this mode
of transport, and several companies
are being got up in Sydney and Mel
bourne to enter extensively into the
business. The New South Wales
government have promised to estab-
fish depots along their railway lines
and the old exhibition building is to
be converted into gigantic freezing
store. The cheapness Of meat in Aus
tralia may be Judged of from the fact
that all this stir is caused by the hope
of getting 8 or 10 cents a pound in
London, for those were the prices
brought by the experimental cargo.

Calls News Letter contains Il sharp
criticism of Sir Anthony Musgrave's
paper, calling it "a picture of Jamaica
wiM the sAadows left out" Various sha-
dowS, including the late drought, are
mentioned, andthe News Letter saysthat
Sir Anthony Musgrave is cruelty I'M
just to the people of Jamaica in assert
ing that there is a growing prosperity"
The writer, however, does not handle
Sir Anthony's figures; but contents
himself with i%nsinuating thatan appear
ance of prosperity is created by
wringing increased taxes from the peo-
pie. Strange to say the same newspa-
per publishes a statement of exports
for the first quarter of 1880 compared
with the same quarter Of 1879 shew-
ing that the total value had increased
from E 378, 900 in 1879 to 94S9,0 900 in
the present year. This looks as if
Sir Anthony's hopeful view is the
correct one, and the News Letters sha-
dows are much reduced by the light
of its own columns. The Governor

Panama Canal scheme. He was
received with the greatest enthusi-
asm. He spoke in French, his re-
marks being translated for his Eng
lish audience At Liverpool "he
explained the construction OF the
canal, which would be as miles in
length against 10 miles as compared
with the SueE Canal. From an en-
gineering point of view he maintain
ed that there were no difficulties
which could not easily be overcome,
and he calculated that the great un-
d~ertaking would be completed in six
years with 5000 men employed and
the necessary machinery, which
would take year or a year and a
half to make. A contract had been
made with reliable and capable men
for SOC, 900 ,OOOf, for it's construction,
with certain clauses with regard to
participation, and with certain re-
auctions to be made if the work
turned out to be not SO expensive as
was estimated. He proposed to place
at the disposal of the British public
shares of the value OF 9166,OO0, but
he did not care whether these were
taken or not, as he could get plenty
offunds, and was not asking for mon
ey, but offering it. He denied that
the American Government or private
individuals generally offered any OPP
position to the scheme"

It appears that as far back as two
years ago he gave the world a seduc-

tention to the northwest coast of Aus
tralia as a peculiarly rich and eligible
field for emigrants, and offering land
there for five francs an acre. This
selling of the skin while the beast is
at large seems premature; neverthe-
less, on the strength Of it a company

forming, with a capital of 10000
francs, which is to found a new socie-

THE BEAUMONT
COMPASSIONATE ENGINE.
From the TimeS.)

The value of compressed air as q motive
power has long been recognized, and ma
ny attempts TO utilize it i'll this respect
have been made, although hitherto they
have not always been attended with prac-
teal success. The main difficulty which
has stood in the way of inventors and has
retarded the progress of the all engine has
been that of providing means whereby the
full power contained in the air under com
preston can be utilized economically II
at Serviceable preSsures. Judging from
the results of some experimental runs
made with an air-driven locomotive which
we recently attended, this difficulty would
now appear to have been mastered, and
highly-cOmpressed air to have been rem
dered practically available as a source Of
motive power. Tbs has been effected by
Colonel Beaumont, RE, in an engine
which has been lately running IN the Royal
Arsenal, Woolwich, where its powers have
been put to the test of practical work. 1t
is now some four years since Colonel Beau
mont first commenced experimenting in
this direction, and he has proceeded step
by step, improving and perfecting as he
went on, until he has at last succeeded i'll
producing tho engine in question. The
construction of this engine is based upon
the principle of utilizing the entire power
stored up in compressed air, no matter how
high the pressure may be. This is effected
by admitting the air into successive cylin-
ders, having different areas, commencing
with the smallest, and in making provision
by which as the pressure falls in the reser-
voir the consumption of air can be increased.
In other words, the elasticity and the ex-
pansive properties of air are taken full
advantage of in this engine, just in the
same way as the corresponding properties
in the vapour of steam are utilized in the
compound steam ~engine-that is, in each
the gases are expanded from the
smaller and high-pressure cylinders into
the larger and low.pressure cylinders.
In appearance the engine necessarily
from an ordinary locomotive, the
absence of a funnel or other outlet for
smoke or steam being the most prominent
point of departure. The machine, which is
nOiselesS, more or less resembles q tank
upon wheels, with sundry levers
and handles on the top, where the driver
