(From the froy Press.]
lie is here in Troy, and his
name is John Henry Blackwell, and he
has seen one hundred and nine Hum
mers (when August is out) and one
hundred and eight winters. He was
not born in the house in the hol
low, beside a babbling, but nasty little
brook, just oil Lincoln avenue, under
the hill. The house is an old style
frame, with wooden shutters, and has
stood where it now stands for forty-five
years. Neither outside nor inside has
ever been molested by 11 painter. Ihc
house is weather beaten like its owner
(for Blackwell owns it), and IcoUs as if
vlu' ups and downs oi this world had
hud no eflect upon it. John Ilcniy lives
ail alone in the house. It cannot be
called bachelor's hall, because Join
Henry is not a bachelor. He has. been
married, but it was so long ago that he
has almost lorgottcn how if feels. His
house is noL a hall either. It is more
like a den or hermitage. No one is ever
invited into the place, and no one ;s
ever allowed to look into it unless he '
does. so-stealthily. John keeps the doors
yml windows securely fastened, and al
night he never uses a iiyht unless he is
looking for something that has been
mislaid in the chasm of disorder that
exists there; and lie uses a tallow can
dle. He is very sociable. He has lived
so long that he imagines the present j
generation is a pack of fools and he n
w iseman. The first statement may be
all right, but there is room for debate
on the latter.
John Henry Is an Irishman, and has
been in this country sixty years. He
lived in New York fifteen >cars, and
remembers (he city when it was, he
cays, no bigger than Troy. He has
livl'd in Troy forty-five years, and rec
ollects Troy as a small country village*
lie lost bis wife fifty years ago. He
had three sons and one daughter, but
they have all gone to the other world,
and now the okl man is alone. 11c has
lived ulonc for twenty-five years, ever
niuce his daughter died, who was sixtj
-11 ve years old. lie has 110 relatives now,
haying out lived the whole of them,
grandchildren and all.
About ninety years ago he learned the
1 tailoring business, and lias worked in
\ different cities, but iu the last thirty
* years he has lived in a mysterious way.
He docs not work, but goes away some
times for weeks at a time, nobody
knows where. He returns as myste
riously as lie goes, and seems to liave
mone} . Of late years lie lias turned his
attention somewhat to the study of
medicine; and not only tiie study, but
the practice. 11c imugincs that he can
cure any disease, and will always so
licit a trial ofliis skill on any one he
sees sick or suffering.. Instances IHJVC
been known where lie has relieved pain
and cured illness, but in more cases ail
opposite effect has followed.
Blackwell seems as vigorous as a man
of fifty. In fact, he is the type of a very
lively old man. He can walk a mile
without a cano as fast as almost anyone
seventy-five years younger, lie never
rides. He is a thorough pedestrian, lie
was never on a street car, ami oufy once
on a railroad; then he weut to Albany
011 the car 9, got lost there, and walked
buck, lie thinks jjickasses superior to
horses for general use. The old ,jnan
may not be aware of it, but jackasses
are just as numerous as ever; they have
two leg* though, instead of four, and
arc balky. Blackwell will not ride be
hind a horse; it is against his principles;
he believes in ancient, instead of mod
ern cmlmtion 7 the good old Oriental
times are the times lor him; he believes
in an eye for an eye, and a tooth for a
nooth. He Is opposed to lawyers, and
puts 110 faith iu newspapers. lteUgious
ly speaking, John Henry Blackwell is »
Protestant. Ho scarcely ever goes to
church, however, but he evidently reads
the Bible, as he is conversant with .its
passages. Ho has 110 fear of death, an,j
acts as though he expects to live for
ever.

In keeping with the gigantic collapse
of the Bank of California is the tragedy
which our dispatches announce this

ted suicide to save his life, was one of
the representative men oftlve high pres
sure lite of the Pacific coast. For many
years he was cashier of the bank,, while
D. O. Mills, and old Bufi'ulonian was
its> president. Assuming the presiden
cy 011 Mill's retirement, about three
years ago, he became one of the most
conspicuous of California (characters.
A A an entertainer he was simply re
gal, and 110 person of any distinction
visited the coast witlioutjrecciving mag
nificent hospitaliry at his hands. Fi
nancially, his position at tl>e head of
great banking monopoly of the state,
made him the money deposit of Califor
nia. His golden scepter dictated the
destinies of the mining.iuterests, and he
was, 011 a grand scale, the Jim Fisk cf

liis giddy eminence to suicide, and he

TRANSMISSION OF SOUND THROUGH Fod.
—On December 9, a memorable fog settled
down on London. I addressed a telegram
to 15:o Trinity House suggesting some
gun-observations. With characteristic
promptness came tho reply that they would
be made in the afternoon at Illackwall. I
went to Greenwich in the h,ope of hearing
the guns across the river; tut the delay
of the train by the fog rendered my ar
rival too late. Over the river the
fog was very dense, and through It
came various sounds of great distinct
ness. The signal bell of an una eon barge
rang clearly out at intervals, an l I could
plainly hear the hammering at Cubitt's
Town, half a mile away, 0:1 the opposite
side.of the river. No. deadening of the
sound by the fog was apparent.
Through thin fog aad various local
noises, Captain Atkins atul Mr. Edwards
heard tho report of a 12-pounder caiinofi--
ade with a 1-pound charge distinctly bet
ter than the 18-pounder with a 3-pound
charge, and optically clear atmosphere, and
all noise absent, oa July 3d.
Anxious to turn to tho best account a
phenomenon for which we had waited so
long, I tried to grapple with the problem by
experiments on a small scale. On the 10th
I stationed my assistant with a whistle
and an organ pipe cn the Walk b slow the
Southeast end of the bridge dividing Hyde
Park from Kensington Gar Jena. . From
the Eastern end of the Surpentine I heard
distinctly both the whistle and the pipe,
which produced three hundred and eighty
waves a second. On changing places with
my assistant, I lieard for n time the dis
tinct blast of the whistle only. The deeper
notes of the organ-pipe at length reached
me, rising sometimes to great distinctness,
and sometimes falling to inaudibility. The
whistle showed the same interuiitterifec as
to period, but in an opposite sense ; for
wheli the whistle was faint, tho pipe waar
strong, and vice versa. To obtain the fun
damental note of the pipe, it had to be
blown gently, and on the whole the whis
tle proved the most efficient hi piercing
the fog.— Professor Tyndall•
FRENCH EXPERIMENTS WITH STEEL.—
M. Ponsard's apparatus for producing
steel direct frcnn the iron ore, as described
jn La Met Margie, appears to be charac*
terized by groat symplieity, and, if the ae*
counts of its operation be reliable, by pe
culiar efficiency. It consists principally of
an.arrangement for transforming tlie fuel
in a series of large chambers; and of an
apparatus in brick, called the recuperator
of heat, which receives the flames from the
furnace, and restores the caloric in the
form of hot "hair. The compartments of
the chamber serve successfully for the re
duction of the ore, for the reactions which
are effected, and, finally, for the fusion of
the whole charge in such a ; manner that
the reparation of the component parts is
effected by the difference of density. These
various phrases of the operation require
very different temperatures, and the pro
duction of these is the special obj ecrfc of the
apparatus. On the side of the fttrnace
doors the temperature is oaiy that of red
heat, while beyond the heat is so great that
the eye i» unable to support the intensity
of the glow; this extraordinary heat being
estimated in fact at not less than 3,632
degrees Fahrenheit, The result obtained
by means of this process is considered ta
demonstrate the possibility of producing
steel direct from the ore, without any of
the transformations necessary under exist
ing systems
A STEPSING SUN-DIAL. — A sun-dial that
strikes the hours has been invented by
Abbe AllegreW It is simply a modifica
tion of what is termed the solar counter,
for registering the times which the sun
shines or is obscured. To effect this there
are two balls, one black and the other yel
low, fixed at opposite ends of a lever sus
tained by a center pivot. When the sun
shines the black ball absorbs more heat
than the yellow one, and the vapor of a
liquid contained in the former is elevated
to a higher temperature than in the latter.
As a result the vapor leaves the ene ball,
and being condensed in the other, this be
comes the heavier, overbalances the equili
brium, and in doing so sets free a weight,
giving motion to the requisite clock-work.
In the stm-dial referred to- • pair of these
balls is fixed at every hour mark. When
the shadow of the gnomon reaches any
particular hour-mark one ef the balls is
shaded, a prepoderance of liquid enters
tho ball, the lever tilts, the mechanism is
set going, and a gong sounded as many
times as the number of the hour to be in
indicated. Of course the syn must shine
at the time of the hour-marks being
passed by the shadow, or the time will not
be struck.

BACTERIA AND PUTREFACTION.— Dr. Ar
nold Hiller, of Berlin, has made a series of
elaborate experiments with the view of
determining the relations of bacteria to
putrefeetive changes, and has come to the
conclusion that the whole subject needs te
from the beginning'. He
has demonstrated that active putrefaction
may take place-in the absence ef bacteria,
and that bacteria may be present in abund
ance without giving rise te Iputrefaction.
In short it seems quite possible that
• effect may have been mistaken for cause.
