A DISAPPEARANCE UNEXPLAINED.

Associated Press at City Island mysterlously as
appeared about two weeks ago, and since then no
tdngs of him have been received by his associates
Tho attacks made upon him 10y the He'll cate pllots
and their threats of personal violence Tor giving
evidence to the committee of the Legislature III re-
laton to the Hell Gate plotaGe system and lts Dnr-
den upon commerce have been mentioned hereto
fore in The TRIBUNE. The pilots threatened
Roberts with bodily harm, and afterwards one OF
his boats was DESTROYED in the night note Oc ing

with punishment at their hands. w. .. lewis

Sunday night he made his escape from the JAZZ, Iol

A Walking Aut0matOn.

After long and patient labor. a very
ingenious automaton, says the Sydney
(Australia) Herald, has been completed
by Mr.. Hornburg, of Sydney. Its spe-
cialty is that it walks-walks in the same
style. and with much the same motion,
as human being does. The place oc-
cupied by lungs, heart, and other indis-
pensable organs in the human frame
are represented in Frankenstein-Mr
Hornburg's creatlen-by machinery !;
and the rafting and gasping sounds
which emanate from him would be any
thing but reassuring if they followed the
exertion of gentle walking when under
taken by an ordinary person. Franken-
stein is about five feet six inches high !;
his motive power is steam, supplied to
him by means Of a horizontal tube, on
which one hand rests. This tube is con-
nected at one end with tall upright ex-
haust pipe, into which the steam from a
little engine close by passes. AS the
automaton man moves, an eccentric in
the hip revolves. and lever action bends
the knee, raises the toes from the ground
and throws the foot forward. Then the
foot drops, and the other one repeats
the action, the imitation Of walking be-
ING very GOOD.

Proclamation of Life.

Some years ago the French Ministry
addressed circular to all the Projects,
desiring them to institute inquiries as to
the conditions which appeared to favor
longevity in their several districts, and
the replies are said to have almost rnan-
imously indicated as the leading ele-
ments or influences great sobriety, regu-
lar labor, and usually in the open air,
daily exercise short Of fatigue early
hours, a comparatively well-to-do life,
calmness OF mind in meeting troubles,
moderate intellectual powers, and fam
ily life. The beneficial influence of mar
rage on the duration of life is univer-
sally admitted, and remarriage does not
seem to be unfavorable. The Projects
also indicate heredty as a frequent
cause, and the influence Of climate is
likewise admitted this latter, however,
is separable with difficulty from other
causes which may be operating simulta-
neously ; but, if all things were other
wise equal, it would seem that southern
are less favorable to longevity than
northern climates.
