| Mr.. Joseph Buchanan, of Hop
kinsvilfe, KY, has published the
description of a wonderful inven-
ton, in the National Intelligent
cer. 1t is a steam engine con-
sisting of one capillary tube or
more, arranged as a steam gen.
orator. He calculates that his
contrivance will be, in all cases.
100 times more powerful than
the steam generator and in large
engines 200 times. The weight
of the furnace is to be deducted,
as lie uses none. He thinks that
it will supercede every species of
uninteliigent power, for all pur-
lposeS whatsoever, even for the
ploughing of our fields. He con-
templates its application to fly
ling thro the air and states that
for his machine, in its flight, to
employ a fifty horse power, it
need not weigh more than 800
pounds. The manner in which
he sums up its utility is cston-
fishing. When the winds are
not unfayorable, the citizens of
Washington may attend dinner
parties in Boston, and return
home the same evening the
mail can be carried in a day from
the seat of government to the
most distant part of the Union,
and our merchants may visit
Europe, transact their business
aud return home i'll a week."
