The Senate Chamber.

This unquestionably magnificent
apartment occupies the centre OF the
principal floor OF the north extension.
The occu patton OF this chamber, devoted
TO the deliberations OF the highest
branch OF the legislative arm OF the Gov
eminent took place on January 4, 1859.
On the west and south sides Of the
chamber - the cloak rooms for Sena-
tors, and on the north the Senate lobby.
Over these and around the chamber are
the several galleries, for the press, dip
lomatic representatives, families OF Sem
ators and the common public. On the
floor of the chamber are seats Tor seven
ty.six Senators. The aisles diyeree from
the Presidents desk like radii from a
centre. The desks are arranged IN con-
centric semi.circles facing the north:
The desks are Of the finest quality OF
mahogany, and some OF them
were made o half century ago.
The Presidents desk occupies q raised
platform or dais. At his back is q deep
niche, and in front broad desk. lm-

TO Young H0usekeepers.

All young housekeepers should learn
as soon as possible how to prepare
dishes for dessert which can be made
on very short notice, that they may not
be annoyed in the event Of unexpected
company to dinner. In summer fruit
answers every purpose, but ut other
seasons, and particularly if the first
course is not very elaborate, she viii
need to have something more sub
stantial. A delicious pudding can be
made in a few minutes by taking one
pint of milk and stirring into it half
cupful of cassava, half cupful of CO.
coanut, two eggs, little butter, salt
and sugar to taste; flavor with vanilla,
Cook this rs you would boiled custard.
When cooked and put in the dish in
which it is to be served, puul over the
top the white of one egg beaten to .
stiff froth, with tablespoonful of pull
verified sugar added. Set it in the oven

furiously with SO much froth and foam
while still its heat was much below the
boiling point of 90 Fahrenheit. These
were dangerous places, the abundant
air in the water diminished materially
It's buoyancy, and our boat sank alarm
ingly low in crossing them. We landed
across the lake at one of the solfataras
nearest to the beach and proceeded to
demolish it with our oars. 1t was a
chimney about two feet in diameter,
clay without. and within il was lined
with crystals of sulphur of beautiful
straw-yellow, splashed with vermil!on
spots. Pushing in the top ofthis chin
ney the fragments would first fall down

for short time to brown. This may
be eaten warm or cold,. with jelly or
preserves or without. Another dish
which is easily made anu which is
economical as well as palatable, is to
take slices of cake which are little
dry and pour over them while hot
some boiled custard, cover the dish
quickly, and the hot custard will steam
the cake sufficiently. Raisin cake
steamed and served with some pud-
ding sauce is good. Velvet cream, to
be eaten with cake is made in this way:
Beat the whites of four eggs to n stiff
froth: add two tablespoonfuls of sugar,
two tablespoonfuls of currant Jelly; beat
all well together; cream may he added
or not, as you choose. Oranges cut
up, with sugar and grated cocoanut
sprnkled over them are also nice with
cake.

lost his all, and that affected his reason.
For years before his confinement in an
insane asylum he traded upon the rep

MOTION THAT Is PERPETUAL.
The Fact Almost Accomplished
Wonderful Gas Engine.
Kansas City Times.

| Kansas City Times.
On Monday there was put into oper-
alton at X ingsberry's foundry, corner
Third street and Broadway, a noiseless
gas engine, which easily runs all the
machinery in the works, and the sole
motive power of which is the explosive
compound made by the atmosphere
combined with small proportion of
common coal gas This is the first en-
CINE of this kind ever put up in this city,
although it is learned that several more
heve been ordered for various indus
tries. Through the courtesy of Mr..
Harry +. Clarke, superintendent of the
gas company, a Times reporter was in
vited to visit the foundry. and was
shown the workings of the engine by
Mr.. Dilbert, the gentlemanly foreman
of the establishment. Although it was
already after 6 o'clock and the engine
had stopped running, it took only a
moment to again start it in operation.
by simply turning on the gas and touch
ing match to smallj jet no larger than
the flame of a cigar lighter. The ma
chine Immediately started TO work
with slight wheeling sound and n
slight but no offensive odor, as of burn
ing gas or benzine in gas stove. There
was little or no heat perceptible, ex-
cept that caused by the friction CT the
machinery. When running at its reg
ular rate of speed, the engine is sup
posed to use one-tenth air or atmos-
phere, but at its full capacity three
parts of gas to seven parts or tenths of
atmosphere.
The sole principal involved is the ex-
plosive compound, made by a combi-
nation of coal and air in proper
proportions. The engine regulates
itself, and has only to be turned on to
run until the machinery wears out. As
soon as it is stopped all expense ceases,
and the minute it is needed again ii is
ready for action.
The piston vibrates in cylinder,
one end of which is air tight, but so ar
ranged that the fire or spark is com-
municated at the proper moment 70 an
admixture of atmosphere and gas,
which is admitted as the piston reaches
the proper point. This admixture
exploding, creates vacuum, and the
piston is pulled in with great force, and
in almost the same manner as steam
acts, can be forced in and out to the
velocity of $50 revolutions per minute.
No fuel, fire, boilers, steam or water
power are required in this wonderful
machine. 1t has been running every
day since it started at Kingsberry' S
foundry, at an expense Of 81 per day.
The engine is Of French invention and
costly royalties are still held upon it by
the inventor. At the last meeting of
the Gas Engineers Association of the
United States, steps were taken to offer
reward or prize of $4,000 to any
American who would improve on the
patent, and doubtless some ingenious
Yankee will yet invent something still
more perfect of its kind

Professor Wards Adventure in a New
Zealand Volcano.
Utica Morning Herald.

tea Morning Herald.
Professor Henry A. Ward, formerly
of the University of Rochester, n. y,
is writing letters touching his travels in
New Zealand, some of which detail
singular experiences. In his last he
says: 81 came from Auckland by steam
er south for 125 miles along the east
coast to the town of Tamanga. | hired
a twenty-ton cutter and started to visit
the sea volcano. We sailed all night
and at daybreak we mad before us q
mountain of black scoria, $50 feet high,
from the top of which. with much
force, went white clouds of vapor to a
height of fully 1000 feet. Reaching
the shore it was not easy travelling, for
in places the black pebbles Of the beach
were all astir with water boiling up
through them-water SO hot that a
misstep might scald the foot seriously.
At this point the crater wall has been
broken down almost to the sea level
and we could look into the great hollow
island.
The crater is circular, full mile in
diam eter, and hemm ed in by walls
many hundred feet high and very pre-
cipitous. The crater floor was an I'M
even plain of volcanic ash and scoria,
with many little fumaroles or blow
holes, through which hot sulphur va
pors came wheeling out, while every
few minutes there was beneath our feet
q smart trembling and low, dull roll
ing roar. The smoke Of vapor began
to thicken as we went along and we
soon found the cause. We were stop
ped short by great lake Of steaming
water, quite filling this end of the era
ter, and being as we could see when
the clouds lifted, half mile from either
side. The water was too hot to com.
fortably bear the hand in it, and was
further insupportable to either touch
or taste by strong infusion of alum
and sulphuric acid, which bit painfully
at any scratch or sore upon our skin.
On the further border of the lake
ana half around its shore was row of
the most violent solfataras which
have ever seen. They had built for
themselves little pillar-like cones from
ten to thirty feet high, and a yard or
two in diameter at its base, and through
these open chimneys they were trum-
peting steam and roaring sulphuric gas
es with a violence that was frightful
to contemplate and such demoniacal
screening and din as afflicted our ears,
even at the long distance where we
stood. We dragged the row. boat along
the volcanoes floor and launched it up
on the boiling-lake. The water Of the
lake was of milky opaque cast,
but we could feel with our oars thai it
was in most places not over ten feet
deep. Lines upon the shore showed
that it daily rose and fell slightly with
the tide of the sea outside.
In many spots the water was boiling

Weather Indications.

1t Is an easy matter enough to fore
cast the weather like Professor lice and
Mr.. Vennor if people will only give
their minds to it. BY closely reading
and studying the predictions of these
great weather breeders we have deduc-
ed the following rules, by which they
make all their forecasts. Hindcasts of
the weather are not made until the
next day,
An intensely blue sky indicates a
temporary absence Of clouds. Under
other circumstances, again, an intense
ly blew sky indicates tornado.
When a woman leaves piece of
soap on the stairs where her husband
will tread upon it, it is a dead sure sign
of a storm.
When the sun rises behind bank of
clouds, and the clouds hang low all
around the horizon, and all over the sky,
and the air feels damp and there is a
fine drilling mist blowing, the indica-
tons are there will be rain somewhere
in the United States or Canada.
When it begins to thunder look out
for lightning.
When man gets up in the night and
feels along the top pantry shelf in the
dark, and knocks the big square bottle
without any label down to the floor and
breaks it, it is sign that there is going
to be dry spell until seven or eight
o'clock in the morning
When the spring millinery openings
are advertised look for bright sunny
weather all around the house, with
treacherous calms and rising barometer,
indicative of sudden tempests and
mean temperature.
When the cradle begins to yibrate
with irregular, spasmodic motions a
bout one o'clock in the morning, look
out for signals and try to remember
where you put the paregoric the last
time you used It,
When the youngest boy in the fami-
ly comes home three hours after school
hours, with his hair wet and his shirt
wrong side out, look out for spanking
breeze.
To see the head of the family feeling
in his rignt hand pocket, then in the
left hand pocket, then in all his vest
pockets, then in his hip pocket, then in
Ills COdt pOCkcts, anu tlltI, WulStic az
the ceiling, indicates "no change"
If he suddenly stops whistling at the
ceiling and expands his face into a
broad grimace of delight, 1t means sun
expected change"

ers seat in church, and has two more

The weather during the whole of
Thanksgiving week--**** *t** (*)*
An unusually large number of spiders
presages very mild or very open
winter, as the case may be.
If the corn husks are very thick the
winter will be colder than the summer.
If the corn husks are very thin the
summer will be warmer than the win
ter.
If the corn husks are neither too thin
nor too thick, the summer will be warm
and the winter will be cold.
If the weather prophet predicts a
rainy season, and it happens to rain a
way out in Calaveras county, and it is
dry as bone all over the rest of Amer
lea, this rain must be set down to the
credit of the weather breeder and all
the dry time counts for nothing .-Bvl-
