The Pendulum Experiment.
Foucault’s experiment of tho rotation of tho
Earth, was tried <n the 1 Oth instant, by Lieut.
Noflle, It. A. and Mr. Campbell. The pendu
lum consisted of a carefully turned ball of lead
of 17 lbs. weight, suspended by a .ino stool wire
of 60 feet in length. A local paper says:—
4 ‘ Wo watched the progress of the peudulum as
it slowly vibrated across a circle ol nearly nine
feet in diameter, and soon observed a percepti
ble deviation from the plane in which it was
started, which in an half an hour amounted to
6 dogs. 30 ur. The result of observations taken
during three days, have proved most satisfacto
ry, the average progress of the pendulum dur
ing one hour, being HI to 53, while the calcula
tion f<r tho latitude of Quebec, according to
Professor Young’s formula, gave 10° 56. Near
ly all the observations gave precisely the same
result.” ilia excellency visited the Hall, in the
course of tho result of this extremely difficult ex
periment. It is worthy of remark that the results
obtained iu Quebec, have equalled those of tho
most careful experiments in France or England.

Clmnust ant lal E vide nee.
I have heard some extraordinary cases of
Imrrder tried. I remember in one where l was
counsel, that for a long, time the evidence did
not seem to touch the ’ prisoner at all, and he
looked about him with the most perfect uncon
cern, seeming to think himself safe. At last tho
burgeon was called, who stated that the deceas
ed had been killed by a shot in the head, and he
produced tho matted hair and tho stuff’ cut from
und taken out of the wound. A basin of warm
water was brought into the court room, and as
the blood gradually softened, a pioce of printed
paper gradually’ appeared—the wadding of the
gun, which proved to be half of a ballad. Tho
other half had been found in the man’s pocket
when ho was taken. He was hanged.— Lord

Literary Labor.
The last number of Dickens’ Household Words,
says—'• In tho last year we have read nine hun
dred manuscripts, of which eleven were availa
ble for this journal, after being entirely re
written. In the same period we received and
answered two thousand letters, and made ap
pointments with an odd two or three hundred
inure of our fellow creatures than there were
(rounds to pay for tho celebrated nails in the
lorses’ shoes, which will go down to posterity
fusty with the tears of school boys.
Tho Albany Evening Journal says :
“It is curious to notice tho effect of the recent
fnilroad accidents on the apprehensions of tra
velers. Crowded, warm and dusty as the rear
cars always aro, you will generally find the first
one almost empty.
Something New.
A ’railroad company in Now Jersey have
adopted a now way of cautioning passengers
against standing on the platform of the cars.—
Besides the usual printed prohibition, the doors
are covered with illustrations of tho dangers of so
doing—ono picture representing Time’s scytho
with a distant view of a graveyard: another pre
senting tho spectacle of two crutches and a
Wooden log, accompanied with bandages.
Salty.
Profossor Loomis, late of Waterville College,
tiow in Peru, writes to tho New York Courier,
that on a salt plain, which ho traversed, the
houses are all built of salt—their bedsteads con
sist of an elevation of part of tho room two feet
higher than the rest of the door, and that is a
wall of salt. Tho wells are dug in this bed of
salt, and they never find water any where else.
Glass Piazzas for lire Streets.
Tho Loudon Builder suggest the erection of
f’lass piazzas over tho flagways or footpaths on
10th sides of tho streets. They might be formed
by a series of ridge and furrow roofs, placed ono
beside tho other in succession, after the fashion
of tho Crystal l’alaco, and supported on iron
columns. Thcso, if carried on continuously, in
front of tho houses and ovor the crossings,
would bo highly ornamental, while they would
be also undeniably of public utility. These
glass piazzas,if madoofsemi-opaquo glass would
answer tho purpose of awnings, and be far moro
ornamental ns well ns durable.
Sir Humphrey Davy on Uncle Toms.
Sir Humphrey Davy’s opinion of negroes was
that they aro decidedly an inferior race, and
that it would tako many generations of high
culture to bring them to n level with whites.
It required, be said, forty generations to rnuko
IX wild duck a tame one; aud to bring tho no
groes to the perfection of civilized whites would
lake nearly the same lapse of timo.
-'Cholera in Persia.
Mr, Ernest Cloquet, Physician to tho Shah
of Persia, in a letter recently road before the
I*aris Academy of Medicine,speaks as follows of i
tho cholera:
“We are menaced with the cholera next spring j
It follows this time an unusual route; it broke
put at Bftssornb, in 1851; it has already re
mounted the banks of Tigris to Bagdad, trav
ersing the Kurdistan, it went to Azerbaijan
province. After having ravaged that country, .
Tauris, the capital, it went south and
southeast, following the borders of tho Caspian ;
Sea and it is said to have appeared at Cashin,
which is only twenty two leagues from Tehor
jin. It is not probable tho cholera will visit
Europe this time; wo may hope that, after pas
jng’through Persia, it will return to India, its
native land.”
fiST” It is a singular fact in tho history of
Lowell, Massachusetts, that in 1818 an engineer
from Boston, employed to make a survey of
that town with a roferonce to manufacturing
purposes, reported that there was no waler-pri
viloge in Lowell.
Tho Hagerstown Herald, in an article de
ouncing the spirit-rapping humbug, says it was

ATMOSPHERIC TUBE TELEGRAPH AND RAIL WAY.
FIGURE 1.
FIGURE 2.
[From the Scientific American.]
Tho annexed engravings aro views of the at
mospheric telegraph invented by Ithiel S. Rich
ardson, ot Boston, Mass, the object of which is
to transport packages and letters through tubes
from city to city with great velocity by exhaus
ting the tubes of their air and making the pack
ages move in tho vacuum thus produced. This
is the atmospheric telegraph about which so
much has been said, and ignorantly too,in ma
ny of our daily papers. Tho idea of sending
packages through air tight tubes is not now,nor
is this the first attempt to carry out the idea;
no claim is set up for it in this light. All plans
heretofore tried, have, from principle or median j
ical detect in their construction, proved abor
tive. The philosophic principle involved in thus
transmitting packages, etc.is correct. The dif
ficulties iu the way of carrying it out,have been
mechanical odes, which Mr. Kichardson is be
lieved to have overcome. His improvements
aro certainly ingenious, and promise, so far as
they have been tried, good results—the accom
plishment of something long desired, and much
needed in the present state of science and com
mercial progress.
Figure 1 is a plan view showing the main
cylinder, air pumps, air tubes, and station boxes:
figure 2 is a vertido longitudinal section of fig
ure I; figure 3 is a transverse section; figures 4
and a are plan views of parts of the station
boxes l'r receiving aud transmitting messages
along tho main aud way lines. The same iet
ters refer to like parts.
a, a, figures 1 and 2, is the main cylinder
through which tho packages are transmitted;
it is laid either above or below the surface of the
ground, and laid as evenly and directly from
one point of the country to another. The main
tube may pass through various cities and vil
lages on tho main route, and stations are form
ed at any or all of these places lor transmitting
packages, fce., along tho main line, and at these
stations branch lines may intersect the main
line, the whole working harmoniously together.
At the termini of the line and at the way sta
tions, air tight station boxes, TANARUS, nro placed for
introducing and receiving the packages, <fcc.
They are constructed as follows : An opening,
b, b, seen in dotted lines, figure 1, is cut io tho
top or side of tbe main cylinder or tube. At the
point where tho opening is made tho cylin
der is enlarged as seen at C, and tho valve
which closes the above opening is hinged to this
enlargement or box. This valve is made in two
parts, firmly riveted together by screws, tho
lower part, and, fits closely into tho opening in
box, C, und corresponds to the opening in tho
cylinder. The part, and, is grooved beneath as
seen in figures 2 and 3, to form an unbroken
cylinder for the passage of tho plungor. Tho
upper portion of the valve is firmly united to
gether by screws,/; the part below fits uir tight
around the edge of box, as seen at points, yg,
and the valve is held firmly in placo by the
catch, h, attached to handle, (j. On tho handle
being turned, this catch ontors into the groove,
/, in box C, figuro 3, the shank of the handle
being so united to the catch by screw, /•, that
after the catch has entered tho groove, another
turn, more or less, of the handle, forces tho
screw upon the latter into tho catch, and thus
brings down tho cover firmly upon the sides of
the box. Along the point of contact of the box
and cover, india rubber may be introduced for
tbe purpose of procuring an air tight joint ; this
valve or cover is united to tho box by tho hinge,
/. When it becomes necessary to arrest the
progress of tho plunger at an intermediate sta
: tion between tho point from which it is started
; and where life air pump is located, a cheek
plate is used ; m m, are two circular motal plates
firmly secured to tho main cylinder; they have
circular openings in them corresponding in size
and position to the bore of tho tube ; between
those two plates is placed tho check plate, n,
figure 4. These is a screw bolt* o, by which the
plates, m m’, and n, are all secured, and around
which the plate, ,is allowed to revolve. Tho
nut of this bolt has its bearings upon springs,
o o, which bear upon ono of the plates, thus se
curing a pressure upon tho check plate, . In
this check plate, p, is an opening corresponding
in size to the boro of tho main cylinder.
When plate, n, is so revolved upon its centre
that the opening, p, corresponds with the’ boro
ol the cylinder, plunger, and its load of pack
ages, ko:, are permitted to pass on to tho next
station. When, however, it is required to ar
rest tho plunger on its arrival at a [larticularsta
tion, the) cheek-plate, n, at that station, is turn
ed until the small opening, q, is opposite to tho
bore of tbe cylinder. This opening is large
enough to permit the continued exhaustion of
air through it, but not largo enough to admit
the passage of tho plunger, which is thereby ar
rested at the station as required. The small
ness of this hole does not allow all tho air to
escape before the plunger, but leaves a portion
behind, which acts as an elastic air cushion to
prevent tho violent concussion of tho plunger.—
Other modifications of tho check plate may be
Used, but tho ono represented in figures 1, 4
and 5 is preferred. At stations whore trans
verse way jlrnes diverge, the station box
is made to act like a turn table ; r, in
figure 3, is a metal stationary ring, with
lugs, S, ggure t, to which supports are attach
ed. From this ringeinanatos the branch pipe,
Q, which has a corresponding opening to that of
the main pipe; l i6 a’moveable metallic ring fit
ting closely into r, and revolving freely within
it. This ring has an opening, corresponding to
the bore of the main cylinder, and a small ono,
opposite to it; there aro also two other circular
holes in this ring, a quadrant distant from these;
r is a ring attached to ring /, resting upon the
top of ring r; y y arc handles attached to {date
x, for revolving it. Within tis a third ring, to,
which is moveable, and carries box, c, into
which tho plunger and its load of packages,
Ac., aro received on their arrival, and in which
they are placed preparatory to being sent off. —
The ring, w, is secured to tho horizontal plate,
Z, by screws, , nml thus the rings, t and w , are
held in place, within the stationary one, while
they are permitted to revolve as may bo requir
ed.
It is positively noccssary that for an utmos

As the air is exhausted from before the plunger,
itis evident that theplungcris driven with at

into a vacuum, barring tho loss of velocity by
friction. In all tho atmospheric telegraphs here

j insuperable obstacle to its operation on a long
line. To obviate the evil of working a long

Operation.—The check plate, n, is turned so
ns to close the cylinder at the point, l; tho air
pumps then exhaust tho cylinder. Tho station
box, C, is opened by raising cover con its hinge,
and the plunger (lig. 6) is introduced with its
freight bag; the station box is then closed as
described, and the check plate turned to bring
the exhausted portion of the tube in communi
cation with the station box. through the small
hole, //, the valve being first closed, to provent
the pressure of the air. The air of the station
box and cylinder are now of the same density,
and the check plate is turned to bring the large
hole, p, in correspondence with the bore of the
cylinder. If the valve behind the plunger is
now opened the atmosphere presses behind the
plunger, and it thea starts with its bagof letters
and packages on its long journey in tube a. At
whatever station the plunger is to be stopped,
the check plate at that station is turned tocbeck
its progress. The station box is then opened,
the parcels taken out, and a now one sentalong,
or part of tbe old load, to its destination, per

phorio telegraph to succeed, tho carriage wliieh
carries the packages must move perfectly air
tight. This has been an insuperable
with ball carriages of metal and india rubber,
which have been employed heretofore.
Mr. Richardson does not use a ball but n plun
ger of a peculiar construction,which always fits
air tight in his tube, forming his carriage to
carry packages, Ac., and which moves with a
groat reduction of friction, and is capable of
being very easily repaired at any time. Fig.

coming in contact with it. A nut,//’, and screw,
(/’.serve to tighten up the discs when necessary,

This plunger is placed in the main tube at any
of tho station boxes, and ns the air is exhausted
from the main pipe, before the plunger by the
pumps, P’ P’, the said plunger fills up the pipe
airtight and rushes onward with its bug in the
vacuum with great velocity. Tho air pumps are
to bo worked by a steam engine, aud ft way is
column of air behind the piston, new air is ad
mitted at different stations along tho lino bo
hind the pluuger, and tho long column is cutoff
so that tho action is liko a succession of short
effectual efforts. This is done in an ingenious
manner, —by valves hanging in the main tube
connected with the atmosphere, which are acted
i pon hy tho plunger as it rushes through the
tube, when tho air is cut off a short distance
behind tho plunger, and anew column com
mences to act, to forco tho carriage through.
forming the liko operations to those already
described. When the plunger is to pass clear
through a station box, the one formed with in
terior ring, to, and box, C, is disposed as in figs.
1 and 2. When the plunger is to bo detained
at a turn-table station tho ring, t, is turned to
present the largo hole to the advancing plunger
aud the small hole opposed to it, is then at x,
which operates similarly to the small hole of
tho check plate; tho ring, t, operating like the
check plate, .
Figure 1 will give a very correct general idea
of the nature and mode of operating this now
Atmospheric Telegraph. The turn-table boxes,
tho check plates, the mode of packing the plun
ger, the mode of cutting off a long column of
air, and letting on anew column, are entirely
different from any other plan ever tried before
to convey packages in an air-exhausted tube.
A correspondent of the “New York Daily
Times’’ assorts that this Atmospheric Telegraph
is similar to one laid down a few years ago be.
tween London and Windsor Castle. This, w 0
say, is not correct—assertion, is no proof; giv e
us the proof for the assertion. We have th e
testimony in print, proposing & line of this kiuj
in 1823, but the principle, ns we lravo stated
bofore, and tho modus operandi for carrying
it out are two different things. In 1533, a Mr.
Spicer, of Philadelphia, exhibited an Atmos
pheric Telegraph before tho Franklin Institute:
tho iuinuti:c of his plan wo nro not acquainted
■ with; we lravo soon two or three models of dis
! feront plans, that is, of apparatus to carry out
} the idea, but none similar to this iu its details.
Py reference to fig. 1, where tho air pumps
j are shown in connection, and tho mode exhib
ited of forming the vacuum in either end of tube
on, by tho valve, W, of pipes, 00, also the
turn-table box with its branch pipe, Q; likewise
the station boxes on tho middle of the figure,
for putting in and taking out packages, a good
idea of the general features of the plan will be
obtained by any one: as every person knows,
that a package eau be carried through a lube
in which a vacum has been formed when the
air is admitted behind it, uud none suffered to
pass into the vacuum.
A company is now formed in Boston to con
struct a lino of this Telegraph, between that
city and New York, and the stock is being fast
taken up. A Bill is now before tho Colonial j
Parliament at Quebec, for a charter to construct j
a line in Canada. Tho cost of laying down a
line is estimated at S2OOO per mile; tho object
sought to be accomplished is certainly a desira
ble one,and against which we can urge no objec
tions respecting its principle. The difficulties,
as we said before, arc mechanical; tho present
plan is so ingenious, and so full of originality,
that it promises success.
