Although a printer may he setting
all day. yet in his own way he is a
great traveller, or least his hand is, as
we shall prove. A good printer will
set 5000 ems day, or about $4,000
letters. The distance travelled over
by his hand will average about one
foot per letter, going to the boxes in
which they are contained, and Of
course returning makes two feet for
every letter he sets. This would make
a distance each day of 5000 feet, or
a little more than nine miles; and
in the course of a wear, leaving out
Sundays, that member travels about
5000 miles.

The common lluency of speech, in
most men and NEST women, is owing
to a scarcity Of words; for whoever
is master of languages, and hath a
mind full of ideas, will he apt in
speaking to hesitate upon the choice
of both, whereas common speakers
have only one set of ideas, and one
set of words to clothe them in, and
these are always ready at the mouth /;

Welsh rs Greek, and then some more

them the Chaldic version in Welsh,
when he saw Welshman sitting by

There is clock in London which
according To the description--has for
its motive power hydrogen gas, gener-
aiod by the action of diluted. sulphur.
ic acid on hall Of zinc. The clock
itself resembles n large colored glass
cylinder without n cover, and is about
half iull of sulphuric acid. Floating
on the top Of this acid is aglass bell,
aud the gas generated forces upward
this concave receiver until It nearly
reaches the top Of the cylinder, when,
by the action of a delicate lever, two
valves become simultaneously opened;
one OF these allows the gas TO escape,
thereby causing the receiver to de.
scend; and the other permits fresh
hall OF zinc to fall into the acid. The
same operation is repeated as long as
the material for making the gas are
supplied, and this is accomplished
without winding or manipulation.
The dial plate Of this most remarka.
BILE clock is fixed to the front of the
cylinder, and communicates by wheels,
&c, with small glass perpendicular
shaft. which rises with the receiver
aud sets the wheels in motion. Such
a clock is certainly mechanical Gu
riosity-perhaps nothing more.
