POSSIBLE IMPROVEMENTS IN KILLING.
I London Spectator j
Are no discoveries possible which Bhould
radically al'er all the conditions of light
ing, an I either render war impossible or
give certain victory to those who dire faca
auch destructive machines? It ia most
improbable. The human race have been
studying the art of war for four thousand
years, and has discovertd exceedingly lit
tle, except the fact that an explosive in a
confined spacj will drive a missile a long
.way. They have learnnd to thro*v atones
scientifically. Since Agiccourt, man has
improved on the discovery of gunpowder,
but has invented nothing absolutely origi
nal. For thirty years the most learned
chemists, the most inventive mechanicians,
the most tcicntilic soldiers have devoted
their minds to this Subject, with a kind of
fury of eagerness promoted at once by the
love of fame, by patriotism, and by the
hope of rewards which, to some of them,
like Mr. Whitworth, Sir W. Armstrong
and ilc-rr Krupp, have been granted with a
lavish hand, ami they have discovered
nothing. They have made bigse! guns, end
better shells, and more explo>iva powder,
and have devised clever ways of keeping
the shells oat, but that is all. The way ot
killing scldiers is to tire little bullets
through a small barrel; the way of de
stroying works is to tire big bullets through
a big barrel, and that is all. New explo
sives have been discovered, but no new
way of throwing them for the required
distance. If ships ever touched, or nearly
touched, a3 in Nelson's time, we suppose a
catapult might throw a barrel of nitro
glycerine which, exploding downward,
would annihilate the enemy's vessel ; but
the experiment has rever been tried. A
ship which approached so close could ram,
and such a barrel, not beiDg driven by an
explosive, could be kept off by a wire
netting.
The only two directions in which even
dreamers can fee a probability of much
change are the use of electricity or the use
of balloons, and of either the prospect is
very slight. We can do a gieat deal with
the lightning, bn> we ciLiiot throw it, nor
is it easy to conceive how it could be darted,
except through a conductor. Mr. Urqu
hart's dream ot the quiet savant who
fought the Capitalists' army willuut weap
ons was original, but was only a dream.
The Capitalists had mastered the world,
and th« i'r<i!«taiiat roso ia revolt, resolved
to die rather than be pillaged longer.
They ha'! no weapons, the Capitalists own
ing all ; but as the Capitalists' army ap
proache-1, electricity, shot from unseen
batteries, struck every particle of nn^al
used by the soldiers, a;i 1 the itrmy.^Bk
ished as suddenly and silently as thaWl
Sennacherib. That is a mere dream. It
is just conceivable that some Mr. Edison
might manage so to establish a wire con
nection with an ironclad that the whole
structure should be full of death
giving electricity—be, in fact, a huge
wire charged by a dynamo. But it
is only conceivable, as is the similar dream
—which has grt-atly interested some able
mechanicians—of bo arranging mirrors as
to cotcjntra^o intolerable hea", heat that
would pulverize a diamond, at a co^idera
HWtSliatance. The thiDg c^uld be done, we
believe, so pffTt.iftiiijLfchat thejery ribs oT
an iron ship w«uld dissolve luRnTSTfT/
metal, but nr.t at any distance. la bal
loons therfe is a little, and a very little,
more hope. It is always a possibility that
immense electric force may be concentrated
in such a small space that a machine sup
ported in the air by baUoonß could be
guided at will; and if that were
achieved, the enp-iitions of wnr would, of
couise, be rica'.ly altered. No cities could
be defended against a machine showering
dynamite iheUa, armies might be deatroyeJ
in a few minutes, end all fortresses must
be subterranean structures. In practice,
battles would have to be fought in the air
and the survivors would be accepted as ir
resistible masters. But the more experi
encrd a man of science i?, the more he
doubts the possibility of making an aerial
machine indepfcucnt of the wind, or of
csing bnlloons in war, except as he would
use s'ecp'es or other high points of ob
servation.

liik (!i;eat Telkscopk at Princeton.—
The new telescope for the Halsted Observ
| atniy, at Princeton, has been mounted
j wi'hin tl.e past few weeks, and is now
ready for work. I^. iw|[iiilnilii it ranks at
present as fourth anioag the great refract
ing telescope? of tne world, and second in
the United Stateß. I'.s only superiors in
size are the Vienna refractor, of twenty
»even inches diameter ; the telescope of. the
Naval Observatory at Washington, Wenty
six inchts ia oiaiiieter, and tile tvlescupeof
Mr. Newhall, at Newcastle, in England,
which has an aperture of twenty-five
incite*. A Lumber of still larger instru
ments are indeed under const!uciion, but
it will be some time before any of them are
actually in place The object glass of the
Priaceton telescope ia twenty-three inches
in diam< t r, and hai a focal length of thirty
feet. The yliss disks were cast by Ftil, in
Paris, but tho telesccpa was made by Alvan
Clark & Sots, of Cambridge. Though the
telescope is a little smaller than the Wash
ington equatorial, its mounting is consid
erably heavier and firmer, and is im
proved in many respects. The regu
lator of the driving-clock is unusually I
powerful, and, to prevent friction and
wear of its pivots, its shaft is iloated ia
mercury. The clamps and slow-motions
are all managed without temoving the eye
from the eye-piece, and the declination cir
els ie also read from the eye-end by a new
and ingenious arrangement of the makers.
The object-glass il peculiar in having its
two lenses separated by a space of about
seven inches, so as to allow a free circula
tion of ail between them, thus greatly
diminishing the disturbing effect of changes
of temperature. This construction secures
also freedom from the "ghests" (formed
by reflection between the lenses), which
are po troublesome in many large instru
ments. The curvesof the lenses are not
those usually employed, but are somewhat
like those of the Gaussian system, though
not so deep. The color and spherical
aberration are very perfectly corrected, and
the performance of the glass, so far as can
be judged from a few nights' worK, is
extremely tine. The instrument is, of
course, provided with all the usual microme
ter.3, eye-pieces, and other accessories, but
as its chief occupation, for the present
at least, is to be in the line of stellar spec
troscopy, special attention has bepn given
to the spectrorcope, which is the most
powerful ever msde for star work. It is a
direct vision instrument, on the plan of
that used for some years back at Green

A CURIOUS SNUFF-BOX.
[London Society.]
Shortly after the breaking out of the
French Revolution, ita advocates de
nounced our Premier as " an enemy to the
human race;" that man "co easy to live
with," who sang the song about himßelf
called "Billy Pitt, the Tory." His secre
tary once told him that a foreigner, who
spoke English pretty well, had twice or
thrice asked to see him ; but, not look
ing like a proper applicant, had been sent
away, the great man's time being too
precious for him to admit every stracger
who, on frivolous pretexts, might seek to
gratify an idle curiosity. This person,
however, had said he should return in an
hour ; the secretary, therefore, thought it
his duty to inform Mr. I'itt of such in
tention, and aek his further orders in the
affair.
'• Have the goodness," said the Minister, I
"to open the top left-hand drawer in that!
cabinet, and bring me its contents."
There were a pair of pistols and a moroc- i
co case ; opening the Utter he produced a !
snuff-box, in which was set a portrait.
"Is that like our visitor?" asked Pitt.
"It ia the man, sir," answered the
secretary.
" Ha, I have expected him for somo
days I He ia sent over to assassinate me ;
so, when he calls again, let him bo shown
up."
" Sir !" exclaimed the attached retainer,
" will you expose to danger your life on
which so much depends ?"
" There will be no danger, I thank
you ; but you may be within a call, if
you please."
Accordingly the Frenchman, on his re- |
turn, was ushered into the room where j
William Pitt sat alone—a loaded pistol
in one hand, the miniature in the other.
"Mbnsieur Mehee de la Touche," said
Pitt, calmly, "you see I am in every way
prepared for you. thaaks to an agent em
ployed by this Government. Attempt my
life, and your own instantly pays the ft>r
feit. In any case, I shall have you secured,
and given over to the law."
The intended assassin stood paralyzed :
and dumb at this cool reccptiou.
" But," continued Pitt, "there is anoth !
er alternative personal safety and high re*
wards are in your power. Sell your sei
vices to Great Britain ; make your markc
of whatever secret information yon ca
procure, that may guard us against th
machinations of your country ; be, in fact
one of the necessary evils which polic
forces us to nse in desperate cases ; do whaf
no honorable man could do to save yourse
from speedy death; your conscience i

be as liberally paid as you must, by allpai
ties, be justly despised."

ous master's wordp, which were, as nearl
as possible, to the foregoing effect.
The clever miscreant joyfully accepte
these terms, and for many years earned th
bribes of a spy in our behalf.
No doubt a stuff box was the safe:
medium for the warning portrait, as fane
heads frequently adorned .such a thing
while had the miniature been set a3

sure that it depicted some real individua

Sewage Irrigation in German Cities.
M. Durand-Cl»ye, a sanitary engineer of
I'arip, has published a report on the sys
tems which are employed in the German
cities of Dautzie, Berlin and Breelau for
the final disposal of sewer water. The
systems of filtering and of precipitation by
chemical agents were tried, but were found
not to effect a sufficient purification, and
irrigation was finally chosen as furnishiug
on the whole the most economical and sat
isfactory method. The water is cleaaetil of
its grosser solids before beiDg pumped up
from the sewers ; it is afterward conducted
to the irrigated cities. At Dant/.:c the sew
age is turned upon a tract of about 1,250
acres of a sandy, arid soil, and is led arouud
beik devoted to the culture of garden vege
tables. The surplus water, which ia
drained ofTto the Vistula, has been proved
to have lost seven-eighths of its organic
matter, five sixths of its ammonia
and one-half of its mineral impuri
ties. The ground has an exceweive ab-
Borbicg power, and it has been necessary
to box the main conduits to have aay
wattr left for the smaller irrigating chan
nels. Thus far 417 acres have been enough
to absorb all the sewage of tho city, indi
cating an absorbmg power of 32,000 cubic
meters a year for each acre. The works
have been made and ara ktpt up without
cost 10 the city for the u% of the irrigated
lands for thirty years ; and the land is so '■>■
Itt to gaidenera for from 820 to*2S an acre.
The mortality of the city—one of about
100.000 inhabitants— has been reduced 21
pu: ceut. nnrirr Uta-ojWiratttta^tf tow »yt»
tern. At Berlin, after some uueatisfactory
experiments with chemical agents irriga
tion was tried on about fifteen acres of
lam.. The tract took in and puritieli"*'' 1 -

vine months, and returned po/M crops
The municipality determine/^ to trta 1-.
alt of ita sewer- waters in the
same way, and bought Awo tract*, one j
of 1,740 acre*, the oth/6r, at Oidorf and
Friederickenhof, of 2,«W acres. One thou- ]
■and and eighty acre* of the latter tract <
only have been usesX. la addition to the
cultivated plats,drained basins are pro
vided for th«w-water that is not needed on
the crotJi<i'in which, after a deposit about a
foot_'.:iiick has accumulated, the ground is
diried, dug up, and made ready for cultiva
tion in the next year. The waters thus
treated cease to give off odors and lose all
unhygienic properties ; the health of the
workmen and the comfortable occupation
of the neighboring country seats are not
affected by them. The cost of managing
the landa is defrayed by the sale of pro
ducts, so that the city is only at the ex
pecie of pumping up the water, while* it is
able to let the lands at from 324 to $31 an
acre. The city of Breslaa uses a tract of
about 1,200 acres, of ecoh a oharautcr tiut*

lands are let to the engineer who con

Massey's ai( vm ham:i)'r, laitiy invented
is England, liiif.-ra frnm toe ordinary ham

to make tha fewer p»rt of tha framing of
hummers in 'vronsrbt-iron, consisting of t i
pillars and a girded beam, and then to
build on tbi* a superstructure of cant-iron
which carrii-a the cylinder, and this cast
iron part is, ,yi course, as much subject to
breakage as before. In the Miisey ham
mer the upprr aa well as tho lower part of
the framing if of wrought-iron, cast-iron is
only used fof the slide", and po introduced
that it mayi be removsd altogether with
out destroying the framing. The wrought
iron also is ,in the form of girders put
together od a patented system, thus
avoiding aity 'ransver?o joint*. Tho
flanges, whi^h are bolted upon the baso
plate, are wr. ught inatead of cast-iron.
Altogether, the hammer has about an
strong a frafoing as it well could have.
