A Yacht With A New Motor . • v., - • '.r

The Kent Greenwich,* H. L correspondence of the Providence Journal contains the following! "For a fortnight put a smalt yacht, not more than 20 foot |n length, hu* been gliding over the water* of our bay which baa excited no little amount of curiosity, while it in regarded by many as a wonder. It muke* at least 12 miles an hour, but no smoke-pipe or escaping steam indicates the nature of the power thut propels it. A lighted match applied will set it in complete motion in ono minute, and the expense* qf this novel motor do not exceed 6 cents un hour, kerosene being the only combustible used. The machine bears a close resemblance to the stenm engine, having for its main features a cylinder, piston, crank, and flywheel. There is also an air-pump for compressing air and a chamber for holding safely under considerablo pressure. The air is admitted to the working cylinder by means of suitable Yrtlvc?, And it is made to pass in its way to the cyliuder through fibrous litutoriul, moistened with petroleum, no that the oil is vaporized and mixed with the air, thus forming a combustible compound, a small jet of which is kept constantly ignited in the cylinder. The petroleum is fed to the fibrous material, which is closely packed in a small .recess, a few drops at each revolution of the engine, by means of a small iiyecting-pump worked by the engine. After the airchamber has been onoe charged, the the pressure is constantly maintained, and the opening of a valve and the i application of a lighted match is all that is necessary to start the engine, which can ho done in a few seconds: The parts that might become heated are kept cool by a water circulation, so there is no possible chance of un explosion. Tho refuse of combustion is conducted down through the bottom of the vessel into tho water, thus avoiding tho ' necessity of a smoke-stack. It also ! avoids tho heat which is generated by a i 1 huge boiler, and can be easily run by an ordinary person. The inventor of tfiis motor, who has devoted many years to developing and perfecting it, is Mr. George B. Bray ton, a Groenwiehbred boy, descended on the Waterman side from the good old Builcy stock, so i well known in the westerly part of the , town." « ♦ i The U. 5. Life-Saving Service . * I But comparatively few persons aro s aware of the magnitude this important j, service has attained within the last few q years. Previous to the year 1847, the ^ Government had provided very little tj means for receiving the crews of strand- p etl v easels that were (Irivan n.liorp _ by: j.

the merciless storms which rage so often along our coast. Through the untiring efforts of Hon. Wm. A. Newell, pf New Jersey, the first life-saving stations were established, and the enterprise has steadily advanced, un til wo find now our entire coast line, including the shores of the five great lakes, well protected by nearly 200 stations, fully equipped with every applinnco for paving life, and each ono manned by a crew of seven brave, ex pcrienced fttirfmcn. By referring to statistics, wo notice that over 2,000 persons were saved lsst year, showing thut our noblo patrolmen were by no means idle. The New Jersey beach alone is dotted with 42 stations, three miles apart, oxtending from Sandy Hook to Capo May. Owing to the kindness of Gapt. Aden A I Igor, keeper of station No. 19, situated near Burnegat Inlet, the writer of this was enabled to visit his station and examine the appliances belonging to it. The interior of the building was extremely neat and oleum, everything indicating strict diseiplino and close observance of the rules. The Georgia pine floor was bright as a trencher, and every piece of brass work shone with the luster of gold. A good sized column would ho required for a description of the various objects of interest to which our attention was directed. Wo particularly noticed tho largo lifo boats which are used for saving ship-wrecked crews if the storm is not too severe for u boat to Ventura Otherwise a ITho attached to a prefect! lo fired from a I.ylo gun is gotten off to. the ship, and a rescue attempted by means of tho metallic life car, breeches-buoy, or rubber life saving dress. -Tho same lifo car and hawser used twenty-five yours ago for saving three hundred passengers from the packet ship "New York," can be seen at this station. The keeper, who also commands the bont when going to a wreck, holds a position of great responsibility ; ho must be a man of undaunted courage, cool in the moment of danger j ever vigilant and attentive to his duties, Tho men comprising his crew should have tho ou in e good qualities of their leader,* and tho many daring feats performed from time to time by tho gallant coastguards give evidence that tho most judicious selections were made. Tho active senson covers seven months and a half of the year, beginning September 1, and closing April 15. The watchers are arranged the same AS otTsbip-bnavd at sea, so that a close J patrol of the beach is kept during the ;

J. , r-.~~~.L-, .11 JLU night, and also through tho day, if tho Tho patrolman's situation on a dark, stormy night is by no inoansun enviable one ] struggling along his lonely boat, the storm king howling in his cars j the surf boating with a solemn, measured roar upon *the beach, his path rendered difficult and dangerous by the tide runing through glades, forming holes and quicksands on the shore j his lot forms a striking contrast to that of tho favored son of fortune, sitting by a pleasant fireside, or snugly stowed away la a comfortable bed. Illf'pay is not large — only forty dollars per month, but the consciousness of faithfully carrying ouHiis duty, and often proving instrumental in saving some fellow creature froip a terrible fate, is an additional reward. Many a poor castaway sailor can testify to tho efficacy of tho Life-Having Service, und his heart swells with gratitude us lie thinks of the originator of so., grand an institution. — JkkXkv City Tl 111*8. Distribution of Manure . If manure has been thoroughly rotted, yet preserved from wasteful leaching during the summer, it can bo scattered over meadows or grnitl fields in early winter, witli very completo diffusion and so as to reach every part of the surfuno und every feeding root before these awake from their torpor and begin their active suction of the juices of the soil in April. For not only is the manure spread thinly and finely, but the rains and snow of winter make continually an infusion of this diffusion, conveying it into the loum like us the roots will next convey it from tho soil into the stem channels of the various vegetating plants. The only improvement on tliis practice is that Which obviutcs loss from wasting away off freezing

ground, or leaching through sand, namely, the gnrdnors' practice of keeping the manure sheltered until tlic plants begin to wnnt it, and then applying it in liquid form. The effect- on a plant in a state of growth, and therefore able to "take its tea," is most obvious and striking. The lato Thomas Rivers, of Htrawbridgeworch, so famous for the superior growtli of his roses, dwarf trees and orchard -house culture, urged tho application of liquid manure, strong like soup or beer, in January, weaker, like tea, through the season of aotivo growth, lie preferred night soil, and next cow-dung. Travellers in China all speak admiringly of the great yield they obtain from lie soil, but all fool disgust at their process. They continually feed with i;...i„ ..i, A

dure, and the habit seems to have quite deadened their sense of what is most offensive to a Western barbnrinn they slop about as if it were purest water, or even eau de Cologne applied to a better 1 practical purpose than that ordoifcrious - eau is" specifically adopted to. — Nkw York Titinuxic. Another Discovery Prof. Swift, Astronomer of tho War- , ner Observatory, at Rochester, N. Y., discovered another large comet on the . evening of October 10th. Tho fact was noted in the associated press dispatches, but some important and interesting details which could not be telegraphed arc herewith given. The new celestial visitor is in the Constellation of Pegasus, right ascension, 21 hours, 30 minutes, declination North 17 degrees, 30 minutes. Its rate of motion is quite slow, being in a North-westerly direction, so that it is approaching the sun. It lias a very strong condensation on one side of the centre, in addition to a stavlike neucleus, which indicates that it is throwing off an extended tail. From the fact that of its extraordinary size, wo aro warranted in presuming that it will be very brilliant, and the additional fact that it is coming almost directly toward tho earth, gives good promise that it will he one of tho most reniurkablo comets of tho present century. This is the fifth comet which Prof. .Swift has discovered, and the increased fucilitiwn gvrrm him, by erecting a magnificent Observatory for his benefit, promise much more for the future. There is a possibility that further developments may prove this to be the great comet of 1812, which is being constantly expected, in which event astronomers will have ah unusual opportunity- to test tho spectroscope for tho first time upon these eccentric bodies, and ascertain certainly what they. are.

passed tho night thirty miles below Americus with a buck woodsman whose house contained only two rooms. The family, however, consisted of twentyone, but owing to a dunce in the neighborhood, only seventeen of the children wore at home. The minister spent the night with the father and seven sons iu ono rooin, while the old Udv and ten daughters occupied the other. In the morning a junior member of tho family, in response to an application for a wash-bowl, brought him an old rusty tin pan, and after tho fuce toilet was complete, hunted up about seven teeth of an old tucking' comb for him to arrange his hair with. During tho progress of this important ceremony the the following conversation between the two took place : "Mister, do. vou wAfdioA-erv, mornmc?"

"I do." "And comb your hair, too ?" "Yes." "Well, don't it look to you sometimes like you is a heap of trouble to yourself?" — Macon (Gn.) Tu mora ph. C. E.
