A firm in Philadelphia haye recently pat ented a brick, so shaped , that . when t wo are placed end to end a circular space is left at, the j unction. r- This circularly space con necting from course to course, a " wall form': ed witirthemls, to a certain extent, hollow and admits of currents of , air through it, either heated or otherwise. Each brick is nine inches square and three inches thick, the size of two common bricks, so that .only half tue usual number is required to do a rod of brickwork, and as they are laid with very little more labor than a common brick, work maybe done at a considerable saving. A common brick is used at the angle of each course. . . t' t A shower of rain as red as blood fell near Dayton, Ohio, recently. It was so manifest that it imprei'nated the clods of earth, many of which were like, ruddle. tSeveral country puopie wuo: wiinesea u were areaatuuy alarmed, imagining it to be some dreadful omen of coming misfortune, and very many who did not see it fall.-came in the course of th e day to see the discolored soil. " i Mr. H. M. Paine, of Worcester, 3Iassachu- setts, has discovered a means of generating jiigut oy raecuamcai action irom-water ana lime. He says : I have continued the ex periment at intervals, -and I am now enabled vo announce a succesaiui result. 1 nave pro duced a light equal in intensity to that, of 4,000 gas burners of the largest bat' s-wing patera, with an apparatus occupying four square leet of room, at a cost of one mill per uuur, m'i current 01 eiecincity oeinff evoivea oy nier action 01 ine macninery, wound' up witn a common lock key, and the only mate rials consumed are water and lime. I am now engaged in making "an 7 apparatus for public exhibition. The apparatus I will ex hibit one year, at which time! I will make public the mechanism of the generator. An architect m Boston has been ;exb.i biting specimens of zinc used for . architectural and decorative purposes in a mode not hitherto employed, namely, cast. It appears that foil seventeen years zinc has been used in Ger many for architectural purposes, for all ex terior as well as interior ornamental parts of buildingswhich by casting,. can be produc ed in the sharpest forms, aud are said to be, at the same time, capable of resisting all in fluences of the weather. Columns, capitals, consoles,' acroteria, cornices, j dressings for doors, balconies, vases, statues, fete., can' be I formed of zinc. ' j It requires thirty thousand worms to pro- duce nve pounds of silk. If at the present time at the present time a million and a half I pounds are imported 1 annually into ; Great Britain it therefore requires nine thou i sand millions of insects to supply the raw Isilk tor British manufacture. ; It is a singular fact that steel dipped in the jjuice of the nettle becomes flexible. , A pro lessor wno uas maae tue meaicinai nroner- ities of wtld plants his peculiar study,' states that lint dipped in uettle juice, and put to the nostril, has been known to stay the bleed ing 01 tue nose when; all other remedies nave failed: and adds that fourteen mjt fifteen of ' the seeds r ground into powder, and taken daily, will cure the swelling in the neck ikuown by the name of goitre, without in any ; way injuring tue general ueaitu.

An Englishman proposes to manufacture a substitute for gold, which he terms " Brit- ish gold," by mixing one part of a zinc alloy ot iron with four parts of copper aud man- and a substitute tori silver, by mix- irig six parts of the zinc alloy of iron with -i-,-'v two of nickle and ten of copper. Chloroform has been used with success as a inotiye power in several steam engines now working in Paris ; the vapor act3 exactly like steam, and while it exerts power on one side ot the piston, is condensed in the other.

' Great efforts are being made in England and Ireland for the pardon of the convicts at Manchester, on the ground that the offence committed was a political one.

Disturbances have again broken out in Devonshire. There was a bread riot at Barnstable to day, which exceeded in . fe rocity and destructiveness the.nots at Exeter.
