The artotype is the name given
to one of the new inventions for
compelling light and chemistry to
do the work which has for years
been the allotment of the artists
graver and pencil. The process is
"a species of foto-engraving. The
pictures have the accuracy, the in
finite detail, the perfect definition,
the brilliant effects of the best
fotografs, with the added advantage
of being permanent-as endur-
Ing as paper and ink can be. AS
imperishable, for example, as steel
engravings. The invention differs
notably from its rivals in its great
er directness of method; it gives
what may be termed the imme-
diate autograf of the sun, printing
upon the paper his very penciling
without the transfers and reversals
employed in other systems. 1t is
capable, consequently, of represent
ing certainty and delicacy OF line
and refinement of shading which
no other permanent process has at
tained. The value of such an in
vention as an agency for the popu-
larization of art-the multiplica-
ton and diffusion among the peO-
pie of the works of the great mas
ters which have hitherto been
locked up in remote galleries or
costly collections-is almost meal
culable.

Last evening a gentleman of this city
accidentally made a most singular dis
covery respecting the electrical influence
of the ordinary morning-glory vines.
Seated near the lattice work over which
the vine was trained, his attention was
attracted to single little branch tipped
with growing line extending straight
cut from the rest, and speculated within
himself whether the tiny hairs with
which the stem was clothed were not
placed there for the purpose of conduct
ing the electric fluid of the atmosphere
to the plant. In order to continue his
investi CATION, he approached his finger
within half an inch of it, and was
amazed to observe a slight-almost inn
perceptible, yet unmistakable-moti
of the stem. As he pushed his finger Il
little nearer, the stem trembled very visi-
bly,, and was seemingly attracted and
repealed from him. The hairs which he
noticed before did not move, but re-
mained erect. There was no wind ut
the time, and the motion was purely IN
induced one. After this interesting eX-
pertinent he placed the end of his finger
within short distance of the growing
bud, and slowly moved it in a circular
direction. The stem followed the mo-
ton until it was bent in the shape of
letter c., and, when the finger was with
drawn, instantly regained its former
straight position. This last experiment
was witnessed by several persons, all of
whom tried it, with varying success

SIR: In the square bounded by Fourth and
Fifth streets and Massachusetts, avenue and Ii

there is a sewer completely open and exposed
for at least fifty feet, and for fifty feet more it
is covered merely with decayed boards. The
sewer sends forth continually messenger of
death, in the form Of foul and poisonous odors,
reeking, as it is, in filth aud corruption. Can.
not our esponsible-to-nobody Commissioners
do something in this matter? How long
would an elective body permit an open sewer

One of the most curious things about

The reader Is Of course aware that rain

any vessel set out to catch 1t. liza pail,


for example, be put out in an open space
on the ground, it will catch as much ram
as would otherwise have sunk into the
ground on the space occupied by the
pail. II we visit the pail after eTery
shower, we may by means OF two-ioot
rule, tell what depth Of rain has fallen.
This is the principle Of the rain-gause.
In practice better means are OF course
adopted, % as 10 prevent evaporation
and TO measure the depth. Now 1t is OF
great consequence where we place our
rain gauge. 1t might be supposed OF no
importance whether it were on the top
of the house or In the garden close by.
And yet, strange to say, gauge IN a
garden near Westminster abbey caught
tw.nty.three inches ofrain in the course
of the year, while one on the roof OF
house caught ouly eighteen iuches. and
one on top Of the abbey only twelve
inches. The fact is, rain forms at very
low elevation, much lower than is gen.
orally supposed; or, ifnot actually FORM
ed at a very low elevation, 1t increases
the size of the drops which come from
higher levels. Thus, while Mr.. Clash
