Ignition of Wood by Steam.

The Scientific american has opened
its columns to discussion about the ig-
milton OF wood by steam or steam-pipes
which seems likely to be very useful. In
a recent number one of the many people
who do not believe that wood can be
set on fire by any steam not superheated,
writes to ask why the wooden tagging
which is placed around locomotive boil
ers, and then covered with a sheet-iron
Jacket" does not take fire. Although
locomotive boilers usually contain steam
at pressure of more than one hundred
and twenty pounds to the square inch,
the laggings rarely show any signs of
charming, even after years of use. If the
seams of the sheet-iron jacket get loose,
as sometimes happens, sparks from the
smokestack may get in and set the lag
gings on fire, and such accidents have
sometimes occurred from the water get
ting low in the boiler, 50 as to expose
the crown-sheet to the action of the fire,
but there is no instance of any scorching,
the writer thinks, from boilers in their
ordinary condition. As thousands of
locomotive engineers and master me-
chanics must know something of this
matter. it is to be hoped that more COM
munications may follow on the SUBJ
iect

Modern Rornanticism.

A marked feature of modern romantic
ism is love of the past, that passionate
regret for by-gone fashions which
prompts the attempt TO patch the new
garment of to-day with the old cloth of
former wear. The feeling which, early
in this century, found inspiration in
medieval lore, and loved to present the
old chiyalrics in novel and song, is the
same which inspires the practical an
achronisms of recent time, which in En-
gland seeks to reproduce the old ecclesi-
astical sanctities, which astonishes
American cities with a mimicrv of
Gothic architecture; the same which
forty years ago restored the long-disused
beard, which now ransacks secondhand
furniture stores and remote farmhouses
for claw-footed tables and brass-handled
bureaus, which drags from the lumber
room the obsolete spinIing-wheel, which
rejoices in many-cornered dwelling
houses with diminutive window panes-
the more unshapely the better, because
the more picturesque. A mania, inno-
cent enough in these manifestations, but
in its essence identical with that which
inspired the knight of La Mancha, the
typical example for all generations of
romanticism gore wild.
1t would be unjust, however. to main
tain that the reaching back after old
things is the sum of romanticism, as if
what we so name were mere conserva-
tism or reactionism. This worship of
the past is only an accidental manifesto
ton of principle whose most compre-
hensive term is aspiration; noble dis
content and disdain OF the present,
which, in the absence of creative genius,
of power to originate new forms, seeks
relief in the past from the weary COM
monplace of the day.
The essence of romanticism is aspira-
ton. Whether it look backward or for
ward, there is in it a spirit of adventure:
as much of it in the crusaders who
sought a sepulchre in the east as in the
Spanish navigators who sought an Ell
dorado in the west: as much in the arc
tic explorers who would force a way
through eternal frost as in the Knights
of the Holy Grail; as much in the nine
teenth century as in the twelfth, in Carl
baldi and Gordon as in Godfrey and
Tancred
The romantic schools of German and
English literature were transient phases
already Outgrown, but the principle OF
romanicism in literature is immortal
it is the spirit asserting itself through
the form. Classicism gives us perfec-
ton OF form, romanticism fullness OF
spirit. Both are essential, seldom found
united. but both must combine to con-
stitute masterpiece of literary art

for being tattooed that law has been
passed forbidding the marking of nat

here few years ago, were tattooed, aud
several Russian dukes and sprigs of no

son of Longfellow recently submitted to
very elaborate tattoo decoration, and

hands of the tattooer, who did an amount
of work on him during this time that is
usually spread over period of three or
four years. This caused, of course, n
severe nervous shock which he was only

HISTORY OF THE VALLEY
APPENDIX VI.
JEFFERSON COUNTY.

JLFIEkSON tOONAi l.
Washpgton's Masonic Care
About two and a half miles
southeast Of Charlestown in tins
county is to be seen this cavern.
Trad ition informs us that General
Washington and a number of other
gentlemen formed themselves into
a Masonic Society and held their
lodges in this cavern. The writer
saw and partially explored it. 1t
is not an extensive cavern, and IS
more remarkable from the fact OF
it's having been used as a lodge
room by Washington and others.
II however has several different
departments. The author was not
able to get into the lodge room.
The entrance to which is quite low
and narrow. The proprietor (Mr.
Clark informed the author that
WashingtOn's name, with the
names of the several members of
the lodge, is inscribed in the face
Of the rocks in the lodge room. A
rock OF very hard stone, which lies
near a very fine lime spring con-
venient to the cave, has several
inscriptions on it. The letters are
the plain Roman character; but
the author could not explain the
meaning. They probably are ma
sonic enigmas.
Having introduced the name
"Washington,7 though digressior
from the general subject, it will b'
well enough to notice several i'm
portant anecdotes in the history o
that great, heaven.protected man
which the writer has heard from
respectable authority.
