Several cases of electric prostration
are reported from Creusot, France. 1t
affects workers under electric light.
The light exceeds one hundred thou
sand candle power, and it appears that
it is this excess of light, not the heat,
which produces the nervous symptoms.
A very painful sensation in the throat,
face and temples is lrst noticed, then
the skin becomes coppery red, and irri-
tation is felt about the eyes; much
lachrymation ensues, and these symp-
toms then disappear, whilst the skin
peels of in five days. The effects are
comparable to those produced by walk
ing over fresh snow IN the sunlight,
and may be regarded as sort OF
mourning.

4Rlr is a great mechanical agent.
While it remains at rest, II supports
within it an innumerable quantity Of
birds and insects, which sport with
utmost freedom and ease. And when
the air itself is put in motion, it be-
comes the instrument of most impnr-
tant and beneficial effects. The wind
is constantly bringing fresh supply OF
air 10 those places in which 1t Is
wanted. Currents of air are continually
passing over the ocean, and thence are
carried over tracts OF land, and replace
the heated atmosphere OF the plains,
and the unwholesome vapors that
arise from crowded cities, Meanwhile,
the breeZes which thus convey health
and freshness with them, afford the
means of navigating the ocean In
various directions; the changes of the
variable wiads being such as TO eEe.b'e
the sailor to pursue his voyage III
almost any direction. In other parts
of the earth, the winds blow regu-
larly In nearly the same direction for a
length of time, and thus becomes a
certain means of conveyance.
On the surface or the earth, the
wind is also constantly doing work.
We can scarcely conceive the quantity
of labor which is saved by that common
but very beautiful machine, the wind
mill, How well it does its work. How
regular is its performance by mean:
which appear so irregular, In different
parts of the country we may see corn
ground, timber sawed, marshes drained
water raised from great depths, and
, various other work done, all by thai
invisible and apparently weak AM

do us incalculable good, and very ael'

that the time will come when trans

that the air-ship must go up mile ls
more erroneous. If it were no higher
than an ordinary building it would suf'
dee. when the time comes for it to
be put in operation,n he said, there
will be one drawback to it, and that is
the ease which it will afford criminals
to make their ESCAPE from whatever
