of a solid conductor ; for the repulsion of
its molecules would dissipate it in the
air. We perceive nothing to retain it
but the resistance of the air as a non-con
ductor, and that resistance can be but ve
ry small.
As the primitive electricity spread o-
ver the sj>ace occupied by a thunder
cloud can unite but very ^slowly into a thin
stratum, it becomcs diflicult, according
to the theory of Volta, to attribute to it
the forriiation of hail in particles as large
as those which is sometimes observed;
the phenomenon, liowever, is certainly
connected with atmospheric rlectricity ;
and’though we are not actpaainted with
all the ciicunistarices which would ena
ble us to comprehend il, we must not re
ject a cause because it appears to us not
lo have an intensity proportional lo the
eflects we would explain.
Slcam.—I'he strides which steam is
making in the econoniy of the country,
are njore giganiic and surprising than
those who are domesticated at a distance
IVcni its immediaie operation imagine ;
()Ut the capability of the l icomotive (-n-
gine to travel wilh ease and safely with
a weight of ninety tons in its train, at the
rate of eight miles an h«ur, having been
proved by that opening of the Darling
ton and Stockton rail roads, it becomes
our duty lo submit a more detailed state
ment of its powers and ad vantages, than
we believe has yet appeared in print.
The engine will travel over 25 miles
7 times a day, making 175 miles a day’s
work, with 90 tons of small coals each
day, or 42 tons per week, which at an
average cost of 7s will be U/ 14s. One
man and a boy in constant altendance,
supposiiig the 24 hours equal to three
days, will be three men and three boys
each day, which at 16s 6d will add 5/ 8s
6d—making the total weekly exj>ense 19/
17s 6d.—'i'he engine will cost 600/,*30
wagons 900/—giving 1500/for the entire
SCI .out.
Now, 90 tons will load 6 boats ; each
of these boats will be a day in performing
20 miles ; therefore 52 boats with 52 hor
ses, 52 men and 52 boys, will be required
to execute the transfer of 90 tons 175
miles in one day; each horse will cost
weekly one guinea, each man a guinea, i
and each boy 12s. forming a total w(!ek-
ly charge of 14u/ 8s in lieu of 19/ 17s and
Gd. The 52 boats and horses will be
worlh J0,000/, and requiring a considera
bly greater amount lo keep them in re
pair ; throwing a balance of full 7000/
per annum in favour of every locomotive
engine that may be useil. I low many
may eventually be at work it will be dif
ficult to conjecture ; but as 40 would b(;
re(juired to work the London. liirming-
ham, and Liverpool, and the Manchester
and Suicki)ort lines, in all proijability not
less than 500 would be employ(;d, atid as
ihe saving on every five. eni;ines would be
i-(ltial to the interest of one million, the
5 ;0 would jjut the i)eoi)ie iu possessitjii
of a sum as great as the iniei-est of one
hundred millioi.s sleiling, independent
of the advantage of spei:d, and the great
saving of tonnage, the rail road lines be
ing one third shorter than the canals in
use. I'inally, 10(>0 persi^ns may be convey
ed one mile, h- one j)ci-son loco miles,
by locoii)()i.ive engines, at ihe i-ale of 8
lirih-s an hour, at a cost ofsomelhing
less lluu) five j)ence. Kn^Ush paptr.
Disordered t-';/rs. — Most of -vcn our local
ciiseases originate in a bad stale of the
stomach; a iruih whicii cannot be too
ol'ien iiiijiressed upon those who are uis-
por;ed to dalible in quackish ointments
aiul nostiums. Mr. Aljernelhy lrace.s
iK'arly all llie maladies which afiect the
eye to this fei iile cause of human bufler-
ing, and tells the following amusing story
in illuslralion of ihe vulgar errors on the
subject:—“A lady and a gentleman
brought tl'ivir child to me wiih in'lauied
eyes 5 i!ie j)Upil c (,uld hardly be disiin-
gnlsln t! : ili'. te v, ere uki i s on ihe cornea,
;.>'d i' -v;vc’-/ vv '■ ..luudc I. Thev
said, ‘Sir, we are g,oing out of town
and we thought w’e would ask your opin
ion of our child’s eyesj he has been un
der the care of the most eminent surgeons,
and lie is rather worse than better.’ I
said—‘Do you expect that I will pre
scribe an eye-water or an eye-salve, and
so on I tell you that I am persuaded
that the cause of irritable eyes is a disor
dered state of the siomaeh and bowels.’—
I desired the lad to put out hi* tongue,
and it M as very much furred, and dirty
indeed. 1 told them that they must pay
great attention lo the child's diet, to the
regulation of his bowels, to take exercise
in the open air, and so on.—‘ Oh ! they
said, ‘if lhat v»as all the advice I could
give, they should wish megoiid moi uing;’
.so they paid me a guinea, and ofV they
went. They were going into Devon
shire, ami-when they were about seventy
miles from town, the child was seized
with a diurrha-a, which caused them to
stop on the road, and in a day oj two the
child’s eyes became very much better;
they now began lo ihink that there was
some truth in what had been told them
about a disordered tale of the sloiuach
and bowels, and away tliey came again
towards town, after having travelled a-
bont seventy miles, to hear 50i.. ihmg
more of this matter, which, iftljey had
had’a little patience, ihey would have
heard at firsi in a few minutes.”
A WiKK.—Moore, in,his life of Sheri
dan, thus speaks of Sheridan’s first wife,
Miss Linley, lhat wasWe have al
ready seen with what pliant synop tihy
she followed her hu.sband througluiut liis
various pursuits-identifying hecseli with
the politician as warmly and reuuiiv as
with the author, and keeping Ijvr tiill
attendant on genius through all iiis ‘l ans-
aclions. As the wife of ihe drftmaiibt
and manager, we find her calculating liic
receipts of the house, assisting i.i tiic a-
dapiion of her husband’s opera, and
reading over the plays seat in bv dra»na-
tic candidates. As the wife of ihe sena
tor and orator, we see her, with no less
zeal, making extracts from state papers,
and copying out ponderous pamphlets—
entering with all her heart and soul into
the details of elections, even endeavor
ing lo fathom the mysteries of t'le funds.
The affectionate and sensible care with
which shcwathed over, not only her own
children, but those which her beloved
sister, Mrs. Tickell, confided lo her in
dying, giv'‘s the finish to this picture of
domestic us.' ulness. When it is recol
lected too, that ihe person thus h nnely
employed was gi! - d with every charm
that could adorn ai d delight society, it
would be^ difiicult, pe-haps, to iind any
where a more perfect example of that
happy mixture of utility and ornament
in which all lhat is prizeil by the hus
band and the lover combines, and which
renders woman, what the sacred fire was
to the I’arsees—not on’y an object of a-
doralion on their allar: . !)iit a source of
warmth and comfort t > iheii-hearts. ”
