STATE ITEMS.

A correspondent of the Grantsville
Bonanza, writing from Downeyville says:
Downeyville is booming just now with
excitement. Our wonderful "Silver
Chamber" is open for every one to see,
and it is sight, once seen, never to be
forgotten, and it is guarantee of the
future prosperity of this place. Men of
large experience in mining matters, who
have come here to see if the half of the
truth has been told, say that the reports
given have not been exaggerated; that
Downeyville has reached permanency,
and that it is only a question of time
when this becomes one OF the foremost
camps in the State. Not question of
money, for there is money enough in
sight Work is going on vigorously.
The furnace ran steadily for week; in
that time 1000 bars of bullion were run
out. Some repairs had then to be made,
but it will start again this week. In
the meantime grading is going on for the
new furnace, and preparations are being
made to sink the main shaft deeper and
run lower levels.
The Austin Reveillc tells this: A
gentleman who was down below the
canyon, some 40 miles from Austin, was
riding quietly along when an immense
cloud of grasshoppers darkened the air.
Directly he saw similar cloud in the
shape OF a whirlwind coming from the
opposite direction, and the two bodies
came into collision of peculiar violence,
and with roaring sound resembling that
of hail and thunder storm mixed. The
dead hoppers poured down like the
furious drops and streams of genuine
cloudburst, filling the atmosphere almost
to suffocation. In less than fifteen
minutes they covered the ground for
over hundred acres to the depth of
from six inches to three feet. His horse
fell twice before he got beyond the con.
fines Of the storm. Passengers on the
narrow gauge railroad say that thousands
of crows and buzzards are gathered at
the locality described, and the scent of
the putrefying hoppers is terrific.

A NOVEL POLAR SCHEME.

The approaching visit to Philadelphia
Of J. Palmarts, member of the Belgian
Geographical Society, who is now in the
United States, develops a remarkably
novel scheme for reaching the North
Pole. MIR. Palmarts has devoted much
of his lifetime to the study of Arctic cx-
ploratiens. and his presence in this
country at the present time is prompted
by desire to enlist interest and capital
in behalf of his hazardous project. His
proposed expedition to the Arctic re,
gions is to be made by the extremely
novel method of submarine navigation.
His plan il to construct vessel of steel
thirty feet in length, eight feet in dia.
meter and 81, 900 pounds or about 3 l.lG
tons. Tho novel craft will be shaped
somewhat like : cigar, tapering in front
and having hemispherical stern. She
will be propelled by screw, the motor
Of which will be furnished by Froment
electromagnetic apparatus, requiring but
small crew, three men are told. The
supply of oxygen will be obtained by
the decomposition of water. The de-
scent will be caused by allowing little
Of THAT fluid to flow into the hold, in.
crsasing the quantity as the vessel sinks
When the vessel is to rise to the surface
the water in the hold will be merely
forced out by the means of pump. On
the forward deck of the marine curiosity
will be an electric light, enclosed in
glass compartment capped with iron.
On the stern deck will be the wheelhouse,
likewise constructed of thick glass. pro.
tected by heavy turret of metal. This
compartment will be sufficiently large to
accommodate the wheelnan, and the
vessel will be provisioned for sixty days,
which the inventor thinks will be ample
time in which to reach the point of DIES.
tination Mr.. Palmarts says the vessel
is now beyond mere hypothesis, number
OF highly satisfactory experiments hav-
ing already been made in Europe. Ac.
cording to Mr.. Palmarts' plan, his little
vessel will be transported to the Arctic
regions, in the neighborhood of Spitz-
bergen, by an ordinary whaler, and then
lowered for her submarine journey. He
considers the route Of Spitzbergen by far
the best yet discovered, and expects that,
by following course along about fifteen
degrees longitude east, he will avoid
the heaviest masses Of ice. baltimore

HOW ARABI BEY LOOKS.

The general curiosity in regard to Arab
Bey- who has lately shot up into promi.
nence and notoriety, if not fame-will be
partly satisfied by description of din
nsr given in Cairo, at which large num-
Der Of prominent Americans and Minis
tiers Of the Khedive were present. DR..
Henry NJ. Field, editor of the Evangelist
who made the principal speech of the eve
ming in response to the toast, "To the
President of the United States, (" describes
the dinner and the guests, in letter to
his paper, in the course of which the fol-
lowing pen picture of Arab Bey:
However. the dinner came off, and
proved an Unique affair. 1t brought to-
gether distinguished company. Ali the
Ministers of the Khedive were present,
among whom the greatest curiosity was
manifested to see Arab Bey, the leader
in the recent military movement. His
6rst act in leading the army against the
Government was certainly gross act of
characterization, and had Ismail Pasha
been still Khedive and felt strong enough
he would undoubtedly have been shot.
But in such cases the character of the
act is generally judged by its success, and,
- Arab Boy had the army at his back,
instead Of being executed he is now Min
lister Of War and virtual dictator of
Egypt.
II was very curious to see man who
had acted such part, and who might be
destined either to supreme power or to
death, and observed him closely. He is
. man Of large physique, with rather
heavy face. except his eye, which looked as
though it might fash fire il he were once
aroused. But his manner was very quiet,
and the few words that he said when
addressed him through an interpreter
were such as might be uttered by any
other patriotic man. He said he had
GENE out this evening, though not feel
ing well, to do honor to the memory of
naa Who had freed his country from
foreign yoke, perhaps thinking in him.

America he might do for Egypt"

stood. Dynamics is the science of that
branch of mechanics which treats of
force in motion, power and work. It
comprehends the action of all kinds Of
machinery, manual and animal labor, in
Transformation Of physical work. Ele.
rnent is an essential principle which can.
not he resolved into two or more different
principles. The simple physical elements
of dynamics are force, velocity and time;
and the functions Of those elements are
power, space and work. Function is any
common result or product of two or more
elements. A function is resolved by
dividing it with one or more of its ele-
ments. Force is any action which can be
expressed simply by weight, and which
can be realized only by an equal amount
Of reaction, and is the first element in
dynamics. All bodies in nature possess
the inherent virtues of repelling and at.
tracing one another, which action is re
cognized as force. Velocity is speed or
rate of motion, and is the second element
in dynamics. Time employs continuous
perception, recognized as duration or that
measured by clock, and is the third
element in dynamics. Power is the pro.
duct of force and velocity; that is to saw.
force multiplied by the velocity with
which it is acting is the power in opera
ton. Power is the differential of work
or any action which produces work,
whether mental or physical. Power
multiplied by the time OF action is work
work divided by time is power. Work
is the product obtained by multiplying
together the three simple elements, force,
velocity and time.

Several contemporaries have come to
the conclusion that no fsrts can be con-
structed that will prove al efficient de.
fence against such ironelsds ~ attacked
Alexandra. This conclusion is hardly
warranted by the result At Alexandria.
1t was demonstrated that the forts at
Alexandria were no match for the British
ironclads, but it does not follow that no
fort can be constructed that would be.
The attacking power was the strongest
in the world. The most formidable
vessels ever constructed were engaged in
it. But the forts were not the best Of
their kind. They had no guns Of a
calibre approximating to those Of the
British fleet, and no shells for such guns
as they had. The contest was in these
respects unequal. The much dreaded
torpedo was not brought into service at
sll. The feet, sncAsed in iron and un.
disturbed by fear Of tsrpedoss, squared
off for an artillery duel with half.
armed foe. When forts, upon which
modern science has exhibited it, re-.
sources, with -unimitsd means at it,
command, are silsnesd by iron ships. the
conclusion now hastily accepted in some
quarters will be forced upon us.
