The New Fuel and Illuminator.
Applied science has recently added
to the great inventions of the day a
process for extracting fuel from water.
The author of this process, Air. Ruck
an English practical chemist, has real
ized the old dream of scientists that
the exhaustless heating power stored
in water may be actually employed for
mechanical and domestic purposes.
This brilliant idea, which, it is claim
ed, enables the inventor to set the
Thames on fire, has been successfully
tested and developed in the large
works on the banks of the river near
Battersea Park, and the process which
it originated is extremely simple and
easily put in practice. Ordinary steam
is brought through a pipe from one of
the boilers of an engine, and is allow
ed to pass through a red-hot horse
shoe-shaped tube, reposing in a fierce
ly burning furnace. While in this
tube the steam is superheated, so that
its oxygen and hydrogen are ready to
dissolve their alliance, and afterwards
it is forced into a retort filled with in
candescent coke and iron fragments.
The oxygen is left behind and forms
with the iron scales of black rust, the
hydrogen passes freely through the
red retort, and when, certain sulphur
ous vapors have been disengaged from
the residual gas there comes forth the
“heating gas,” supereminently suited
for all calorific purposes, where heat
without light is demanded. It is ad
mirably adapted for all kinds of stores
and steam engine boilers. The cost
of the gas at the works is found to be
only seven pence for a thousand cubic
feet, and this quantity would boil about
fifty gallons of cold water. This cost,
it is said, can be reduced by using the
waste heat of the retort furnace to sup
ply the steam, which is now supplied
by an independent boiler.
The distinctive feature of the Ruck
process for making the new fuel gas
is in the decomposition of the super
heated flame by means of coke and
iron, which remain for long periods in
the retort without requiring change.
Combined with this is also an arrange
ment for carbonizing the heating gas
for purposes of illumination. This is
done by making it pass through oil,
from which its carbon is received, and
whence it issues an excellent gas,
equal in illuminating power to sixteen
candles for a consumption of five cubic
feet per hour in an Argand burner.
The cost of the gas, as used for light,
is a trifle less than fifty cents per thou
sand cubic feet.
This invention, if fully developed,
will set at rest the uneasiness on the
coal question and work a world-wide
revolution in the cost of fuel and light
for all purposes.
A Spoiled Conundrum.
One of the best dressed and most
brilliant young men in Chicago, who
parts his hair in the middle, essayed
to delight a select party of ladies and
gentlemen one evening by a few flash
es of wit.
The most noticeable scintillation of
his wit was a conundrum:
“Haw—” said he, “when is a lady
not a lady ?”
Nobody could tell, and the pro
pounder of the conundrum gave the
answer.
“When ahe’s a little buggy.”
A dead silence fell on the company,
and the funny man was the focus of
many singular glances.
He 80on became conscious that
“someone had blundered.”
So lie dived into a vest pocket,
brought out a newspaper scrap, read
it attentively three or four times and
then brightened up.
“Haw yes,” he said, “of course
haw yes—haw —when she’s a little
sulky. Know it was some kind of a
wagon.
I£<iunl Pny lor AN onion.
President Grant promises hi* offi
cial influence in favor of equal pay for
men ami women for the same kind
and quality of work done for the gov
ernment. This makes him a practical
companion of Woman's Rights, and
entitles him to the homage of the si x
in a far great* r degree than can lie
claimed for anx of the rostrum-rattlers
of the Woodhull, Anthony and Tilton
jwr.su ision. There is neither sense
nor justice in the practice now pre
vailing at Washington, which gives a
woman tiftv dollars a month for the
same work for which a man receives
one hundred or out' hundred and fif
ty. The pa\ should be graduated ac
cording to the work, and not acerduig
to the sex of tin' worker. General
Grant says this shall be cion* so fir ns
he has the pow, r to have it done.
When it is dou*\ wo suppose the suf
fragists will claim th*' < v,-*lit of having
brought it about; but the fact is. it
• won! I probably have been *lod* ’mg

Uncollected Poems by “L. E. L.”
The history of “L. E. L.” is sadder
than that of any other English poetess;
for there is every reason to believe
that her life was cut short by her own
hand No woman of her time rose so
rapidly to distinction. When a girl
of eighteen, her verses in the Litera
ry Gazette excited universal attention,
and thenceforth till her death—a pe
riod of twenty years—she was the bus
i iest little woman in England. She
i published volume after volume of po
' etry: she wrote two or throe novels,
1 and stories innumerable; she contrib
. uted to all the annuals, and their
name was Legion; and she edited an
I annual of her own, and various illus
’ trated works for English publishers,
i She wrote with great facility on all
, subjects, but her favorite subject was
i love, which she regarded as the one
, passion which inevitably ends in sor-
I row and death.
“Oh love what is it iv this work! of ours
1 That makes it fatal to be loved?’’
i This is the key-note of all her poet
; ry. The story of her own love, if
; there was one not been told. It might
j have been love which induced her to
marry Air. Maclean, though it docs
not look like it, and it might have
; been disappointment. If she married
: in haste, she repented in haste; but
she kept the secret, which is buried
: in her lonely grave at Cape Court Cas
tle.
The stanzas below, which are not
to be found, we believe, in the collect
ed edition of her “Poetical Works,”
are printed from her own manu
script:
THE HARTH’S 101 VISION
I
“The fair earth—it shall be for all-
Divide it at your need;” —
So in his high Olympian hall
The starry Jove decreed.
Each hurried at the mighty word:
The merchant swept the main,
The peasent drove the lowing herd,
And sowed the golden grain.
The hunter took the glad green wood,
The soldier drew his sword;
“I am,” quoth he “by title good
A universal lord!”
The miser’s wealth was little known,
He hid it from the light;
The king said, “take ye all their own,
And pay me for the right.”
When lo! the poet came at last—
Pale watcher of the air,
The spoil was shared the lots were
cast —
His only was not there.
He flung him at the feet of Jove,
And cried, “What wrong is done,
To him whom thon wert wont to love,
Thy true and favorite son!”
“Blame thou not me,” the god replied ;
Some land of dreams too long,
When earth was given to divide,
Has kept thee and thy song.”
“I watched thy spirit s mighty law
Control the ocean’s flow;
I gazed forgetting in mine awe,
All that was mine below.”
“All,” said the god, “beneath my throne
Is given—earth and sea;
But the high heaven is still mine own,
And there I welcome thee.”
—L. E. L.

The Great Wall in China.
Governor Seward, speaking of the
great wall of China, which he examin
ed during his late trip to the east
' says:
The Chinese have been for at least
two or three thousand years a wall
making people. It would bankrupt
New York, or Paris to build up the
I walls of Pekin. The great wall of
China is the wall of the world. It is
, forty feet high. The lower thirty is
of hewn lim* stone and granite. The
modern carriages may pass each other
on the summit. It inis a parapet
throughout the entire length, with
convenient staircases, butresses and
garrison houses at evtry quarter of a
mile, ami it runs, not by cutting down
hills and raising valleys, but over the
uneven crests * f the mountains and
through their gorges a distance of a
thousand miles Admiral Rogers ami
: I calculated that it. would cost more
I now to build the great wall of China,
! through its extent < r one thousand
I miles, than it cost to build the tifty-
I five thousand mil* s of raiiroads in the
| United Stabs. What.: commentary

THE SAVANNAH DAILY NEWS.
The Savannah Daily Morning News
is acknowledged by the press and people to
be the best daily paper south of Louisville
and east of New Orleans. Carrying with
it the prestige and reliability of age. it has
ail the vigor and vitality of youth, ami its
enterprise as a gatherer of the latest and
freshest news has astonished its contempo
raries and met the warm approbation of
the public.
During the year 1873 no expense of time
labor and money will be spared to keep the
.Morning News ahead of all competitors in
Georgia journalism, and to deserve the flat
tering encomiums heaped upon it from all
quarters. There has, as yet, been no seri
ous attempt made to rival the special tele
grams which the News inaugurated some
years ago, and rhe consequence is that the
reader in .-earch of the latest intelligence
always looks to the Morning News. The
telegraphic arrangements of the paper are
such that the omissions made by the gen
eral press reports are promptly and reliably
supplied by its special correspondents.
The Morning News has lately been en
arged to a »hirty-six column paper and this
broad scope of type embraces daily every
thing of interest that, iranspires in the do
main of Literature, Art, Science, Politics,
Religion and General Intelligence ; giving
to the reader more and better digested mat
ter than any other paper in the State.
It is, perhaps, needless to speak of the
politics of the Morning News' For years
and years—indeed since its establishment —
it has been a representative Southern pa
per and from that time to the present in
all conjuncture it has consistently and per
sistently maintained Democratic States
Rights principles, and labored with an ar
dor and devotion that know no abatement,
to promote and preserve the interests and
honor of the South.
The special featuies of the Morning
News will be retained and improved upon
during the ensuing year and several new
attractions will be added.
The Georgia news items, with their
quaint and pleasant humor, and the epi
tome of Florida affairs will be continued
during the year. The local department
will be, as it has been for the past year,
the most complete and reliable to be found
in any Savannah paper, and the commer
cial columns will be full and accurate.
The price of the Daily is SIO.UO per an
num ; $5.00 for six months; $2.50 for
three months ; SI.OO for one month'
The Tri-Weekly News.
